vBulletin CMS Widgets - [WIDGET] Slider

Widget Slider - Frontpage Slide Show.

Demo: http://demo.webdeveloperplus.com/fea...ontent-slider/

This is based on the demo above. OK this is my first mod and I know the coding really sucks! But I thought I would get this out and see if anyone want to improve on it.
This is one of those frontpage slide shows that pulls your attachment and data from specified forums.

I hope this works for you.

Install:

Edit slider.php and at line 100:

$forumid - set the forum to pull slides
$limit - set the number of posts
$chars - set the total number of characters
$words - set total number of words

Upload Files.

Create PHP Widget and inser the following code:

ob_start();
echo '<div>';
echo '<center>';
require_once './clientscript/slider/slider.php';
echo '</center>';
echo '</div>';
$output=ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();

very nice site sir. i would recommend downloading the file above your post it has no right tabs. since your site is a fixed width. just downloaded and rename it slider.php edit line 20 for the forumid you want to pull the information from. then you will have to uploaded to ./clientscript/slider/

hope this helps you out.

I would like to ask few questions.

I have downloaded and uploaded the file from the first post slider.zip and your module to. Is it necessary to keep silder.zip files? I am not sure because when i edited both files both had same configs.

Your widget is operating brilliantly in my forum but i feel that slide has some of problems text not appearing can you check here www.emonx.com

thanks sir but is not really my widget. all i did was edited to suite my needs and posted it. are you looking for more text output?

try editing lines 21 - 23 to suite your own needs.

Oh Common indeed we should call you sir thanks

though the common problem you must have noticed is images not displaying as guest cause there is no permission for attachments in Vbulletin admincp

I haven't. I just see that it's great with forums and no mention for CMS use. Is it difficult to make it work with CMS articles and yes, to include some text?

thanks in advance...

[DS MrSinister]

see is by editing line 22 or 102. i not sure which file you are using.. but i think its the $chars value you will have to change. its set at 120. just change it to a higher number and see what happens.

I'd like to move the transparent black box to the top of the picture, make the picture, text, and black box clickable, and remove the side bar completely. Anybody know what I'd need to do this exactly?
