Define Order Of News Shown With Frontpage Slideshow · **Released**: 12-01-2007

I have been using this on my site for a while now and I love how I can sort the order in which the news is displayed. I felt it would be a cool thing to share with everyone, so here goes:

First, you'll need to have Joomblaworks "FrontPage Slideshow" installed on your site. (this is NOT a free modification, and is needed to make this work)

Then you'll need to install this modification: vb_Cement

Now, open the "mod_fpslideshow.php" file for the Frontpage Slideshow. Search for "sticky" (only one instance in the entire file) and replace with "threadweight".

Old line of code:

Quote:

$getnews = $db->query_read("SELECT threadid from ".TABLE_PREFIX."thread WHERE attach !='0' AND forumid in($forumid) ORDER by sticky DESC, threadid DESC LIMIT $limit");

New line of code:

Quote:

$getnews = $db->query_read("SELECT threadid from ".TABLE_PREFIX."thread WHERE attach !='0' AND forumid in($forumid) ORDER by threadweight DESC, threadid DESC LIMIT $limit");

Now use the vb_Cement modification to arrange your sticky news items in the forum you are pulling the news from. Enjoy!

Very nice modification - It looks AWESOME on GridironFans!
Question - do you need to download the Frontpage Slideshow for vBulletin specifically or does it make any difference?

Thanx for the sharing.

Jacquii.

ps - PMing AYCAN555

As far as I know you'd need the vbulletin version for this to work with the way I have this lined out. I couldn't tell you of another way to do this.

PoetJA-1975 · #16 12-05-2007, 10:45 PM

OK - Thanx - I would love to install - but it's a bit expensive for the moment...
Still awaiting answer to my PM - At anyrate - thanx so much for sharing.
It really looks AWESOME on your Forum

i look http://www.frontpageslideshow.net/content/view/17/40/
and it says
You may use each individual product on a maximum of five (5) websites only, belonging to either you or your client. You have to purchase the same extension again in order to use it for more than 5 websites.

3 4 people we can buy together...

PoetJA-1975 · #18 01-20-2008, 01:21 AM

Wow! I didn't know that - I'd certainly be willing to "collaborate" if there are others. I've wanted this modification for quite some time now.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
