I will mess with it this week . I will let you know, thanks

[Recon0303]

Brad I got it working myself, and it was an error on my part, Thanks for all your help.

Last question, will this show up on the CMS as a slider and if so, how do you add it, I have it on my forums like your demo, but wondering if I can add it to my home page which is my CMS.

http://www.divided-allegiance.com/vbulletin/forum.php

Check Home and you will see what I'm talking about, I like it to show up there as well, I check some settings and did not see where I can get it to show in the CMS. Thanks

[DragonByte Tech]

To install it on the CMS, you just need to go to the Layout Manager in the ACP and drag the vBSlider widget wherever you want it, just like any other widget you place.

Glad to hear you got it all working, though!

How do I get to show a image here?? Unsure where to add it etc Thanks. I tried to edit the content and there was no where to add any since it was the slider so I looked for somewhere to add an image and did not see anything.

[DragonByte Tech]

Can you PM me a test account, as the page you linked to requires me to be logged in to view. If you are pulling content from the CMS, Forum, or Blog, the image comes from the content itself. If the article, thread, etc doesn't have an image associated with it, then the default image is going to be displayed.

[Recon0303]

Dur my bad, I will make you a test account

I sent you a test account through a PM any word yet?

[DragonByte Tech]

I don't have permission to view the link you posted, even with the account. But, I did look at your site and I did see a slide with no image. Looking at the page source via Firebug, it is an invalid attachment that it's trying to load (attachment.php?attachmentid=48&cid=24). You might check your database and try to get more info about attachment ID 48 and see why it isn't loading. Everything else seems to be working just fine though. The thread that links to that attachment currently has a different attachment with it, so perhaps it originally had attachment 48, but was deleted and replaced? If that attachment is still associated with the thread, that might be the problem. I'll see if I can recreate it...

there is nothing because there is nothing to add....I do not see anywhere to add anything to it, and you should have rights because all other users can, and your in that group. Maybe sign up with an account on your own.

[Recon0303]

I realized your looking at the wrong image as well. Look under Game design tab on the CMS, you can see the slider with nothing, when I went to edit , I did not see anywhere to add anything but the title. So I thought that was Odd. That first one you where looking at, I took it out and never added another yet since I been testing things to make sure they where working, I used that for the main forum slider part anyways.

Now I like to get the slider to show on the CMS, which I did but no where to add images is the issue now.
