About Developer · **Released**: 07-30-2009

Hello All,

I have been waiting for the stand alone version of frontpage slide show to get it integrate it with vba. However the creators have been very disappointing in terms of delivering it. Hence, I have started searching for alternative and finally got one.

This hack was written by webdeveloperplus and I am only giving instructions in how to integrate it to vba. However this works on any page you would like it to appear.

Live Demo

Live Demo Integrated to vba

So let the fun begin and integrate this in ONLY THREE STEPS

First go to vBulleting ACP --> Style Manager --> Edit Templates

Open "headinclude" and ADD the following code at the end of it

Code:

<!-- Rotating Code -->
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.3.2/jquery.min.js" ></script>  
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.5.3/jquery-ui.min.js" ></script>
<!-- / Rotating Code -->

Second go to vBulleting ACP --> Style Manager --> Main CSS

Scroll to the bottom of the page where it says "Additional CSS Definitions"; which is partitioned in to two parts ADD the following code to the second partition.

Code:

/* ***** Rotating Articles ***** */
#featured{
    width:400px;
    padding-right:250px;
    position:relative;
    height:250px;
    background:#fff;
    border:5px solid #ccc;
}

#featured ul.ui-tabs-nav{
    position:absolute;
    top:0; left:400px;
    list-style:none;
    padding:0; margin:0;
    width:250px;
}
#featured ul.ui-tabs-nav li{
    padding:1px 0; padding-left:13px;
    font-size:12px;
    color:#666;
}
#featured ul.ui-tabs-nav li span{
    font-size:11px; font-family:Verdana;
    line-height:18px;
}
#featured .ui-tabs-panel{
    width:400px; height:250px;
    background:#999; position:relative;
        overflow:hidden;
}
#featured .ui-tabs-hide{
    display:none;
}
#featured li.ui-tabs-nav-item a{/*On Hover Style*/
    display:block;
    height:60px;
    color:#333;  background:#fff;
    line-height:20px;
}
#featured li.ui-tabs-nav-item a:hover{
    background:#f2f2f2;
}
#featured li.ui-tabs-selected{ /*Selected tab style*/
    background:url('http://demo.webdeveloperplus.com/featured-content-slider/images/selected-item.gif') top left no-repeat;
}
#featured ul.ui-tabs-nav li.ui-tabs-selected a{
    background:#ccc;
}
#featured ul.ui-tabs-nav li img{
    float:left; margin:2px 5px;
    background:#fff;
    padding:2px;
    border:1px solid #eee;
}
#featured .ui-tabs-panel .info{
    position:absolute;
    top:180px; left:0;
    height:70px;
    background: url('http://demo.webdeveloperplus.com/featured-content-slider/images/transparent-bg.png');
}
#featured .info h2{
    font-size:18px; font-family:Georgia, serif;
    color:#fff; padding:5px; margin:0;
    overflow:hidden;
}
#featured .info p{
    margin:0 5px;
    font-family:Verdana; font-size:11px;
    line-height:15px; color:#f0f0f0;
}
#featured .info a{
    text-decoration:none;
    color:#fff;
}
#featured .info a:hover{
    text-decoration:underline;
}

Third and Last, go to vBulleting ACP --> vBa CMPS --> Add Module --> Template Module

Ok now we'll have to create the actual box

Module Title: Rotating Articles
Active: Yes
Template to incluce: adv_portal_rotating_articles
Style: "Pick the Style you would like to add it to" Please note if you are adding it to more than one style make sure that you do the previous two steps to all of them.

Template Content: ADD the following code

Code:

<div id="featured" >
    <ul class="ui-tabs-nav">
        <li class="ui-tabs-nav-item ui-tabs-selected" id="nav-fragment-1"><a href="#fragment-1"><img src="images/image1-small.jpg" alt="" /><span>15+ Excellent High Speed Photographs</span></a></li>
        <li class="ui-tabs-nav-item" id="nav-fragment-2"><a href="#fragment-2"><img src="images/image2-small.jpg" alt="" /><span>20 Beautiful Long Exposure Photographs</span></a></li>
        <li class="ui-tabs-nav-item" id="nav-fragment-3"><a href="#fragment-3"><img src="images/image3-small.jpg" alt="" /><span>35 Amazing Logo Designs</span></a></li>
        <li class="ui-tabs-nav-item" id="nav-fragment-4"><a href="#fragment-4"><img src="images/image4-small.jpg" alt="" /><span>Create a Vintage Photograph in Photoshop</span></a></li>
    </ul>
    <!-- First Content -->
    <div id="fragment-1" class="ui-tabs-panel" style="">
        <img src="images/image1.jpg" alt="" />
        <div class="info" >
        <h2><a href="#" >15+ Excellent High Speed Photographs</a></h2>
        <p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Nulla tincidunt condimentum lacus. Pellentesque ut diam....<a href="#" >read more</a></p>
        </div>
    </div>
    <!-- Second Content -->
    <div id="fragment-2" class="ui-tabs-panel ui-tabs-hide" style="">
        <img src="images/image2.jpg" alt="" />
        <div class="info" >
        <h2><a href="#" >20 Beautiful Long Exposure Photographs</a></h2>
        <p>Vestibulum leo quam, accumsan nec porttitor a, euismod ac tortor. Sed ipsum lorem, sagittis non egestas id, suscipit....<a href="#" >read more</a></p>
        </div>
    </div>
    <!-- Third Content -->
    <div id="fragment-3" class="ui-tabs-panel ui-tabs-hide" style="">
        <img src="images/image3.jpg" alt="" />
        <div class="info" >
        <h2><a href="#" >35 Amazing Logo Designs</a></h2>
        <p>liquam erat volutpat. Proin id volutpat nisi. Nulla facilisi. Curabitur facilisis sollicitudin ornare....<a href="#" >read more</a></p>
        </div>
    </div>
    <!-- Fourth Content -->
    <div id="fragment-4" class="ui-tabs-panel ui-tabs-hide" style="">
        <img src="images/image4.jpg" alt="" />
        <div class="info" >
        <h2><a href="#" >Create a Vintage Photograph in Photoshop</a></h2>
        <p>Quisque sed orci ut lacus viverra interdum ornare sed est. Donec porta, erat eu pretium luctus, leo augue sodales....<a href="#" >read more</a></p>
        </div>
    </div>
</div>

<!-- Rotating Code -->
<script type="text/javascript">
    $(document).ready(function(){
        $("#featured > ul").tabs({fx:{opacity: "toggle"}}).tabs("rotate", 5000, true);
    });
</script>
<!-- / Rotating Code -->

Use Module Wrapper Template: No
Then just SAVE.

Then just add it to whatever page you would like it to show in vba

ok now it will be working perfectly except for the pictures which needs to be changed as well as the TEXT

To change the small Pictures please change the green text above
To change the small picture' texts please change the dark green text above
To change the larger pictures please change the orange text above
To change the Larger text in the larger pictures please change the brown text above
To change the smaller text in the larger pictures please change the purple text above

I hope you all are familiar with the <a href="..."> as a the larger text has one to link to the thread or whatever you want as well as the smaller text has one right after it with a click-able "read more"

[OPTIONAL] Forth Step (if you would like to add more rows)
Please check DGF's Post by CLICKING HERE

I hope this is easy to follow.

ENJOY

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Third and Last, go to vBulleting ACP --> vBa CMPS --> Add Module --> Template Module

Ok now we'll have to create the actual box

Module Title: Rotating Articles
Active: Yes
Template to incluce: adv_portal_rotating_articles

if you are going to use this on the FORUMHOME template, just add the template content from Step 3 into the FORUMHOME template in the location you want it to be displayed and disregard all of those settings, those are specifically for vBa only.

You know what would even be better? If someone can take this code to create a product

I wish I know how to do it, I would have done it in the first instance

if I can get the support or at least someone shows me where to start I would take this as a project. I would love to learn how to convert this to a product.

Someone pleas help him or us hehe... simply the best this one

DGF · #16 08-01-2009, 07:43 AM

just follow this....

Style & templates -> Style manager -> edit templates -> adv_portal_rotating_articles

add:

Code:

<li class="ui-tabs-nav-item" id="nav-fragment-5"><a href="#fragment-5"><img src="images/image4-small.jpg" alt="" /><span>Create a Vintage Photograph in Photoshop</span></a></li>

AFTER

Code:

<li class="ui-tabs-nav-item" id="nav-fragment-4"><a href="#fragment-4"><img src="images/image4-small.jpg" alt="" /><span>Create a Vintage Photograph in Photoshop</span></a></li>

You could later continue with 6,7 etc ( look red number )

Then add:

Code:

<!-- Fifth Content -->
    <div id="fragment-5" class="ui-tabs-panel ui-tabs-hide" style="">
        <img src="images/image4.jpg" alt="" />
        <div class="info" >
        <h2><a href="#" >Create a Vintage Photograph in Photoshop</a></h2>
        <p>Quisque sed orci ut lacus viverra interdum ornare sed est. Donec porta, erat eu pretium luctus, leo augue sodales....<a href="#" >read more</a></p>
        </div>
    </div>

AFTER

Code:

<!-- Fourth Content -->
    <div id="fragment-4" class="ui-tabs-panel ui-tabs-hide" style="">
        <img src="images/image4.jpg" alt="" />
        <div class="info" >
        <h2><a href="#" >Create a Vintage Photograph in Photoshop</a></h2>
        <p>Quisque sed orci ut lacus viverra interdum ornare sed est. Donec porta, erat eu pretium luctus, leo augue sodales....<a href="#" >read more</a></p>
        </div>
    </div>

Then go to Style & Templates -> Stylemanager -> Main CSS
and scroll to the bottom( second section )

Change the heights here ( marked with red )

Code:

/* ***** Rotating Articles ***** */
#featured{
    width:400px;
    padding-right:250px;
    position:relative;
    height:250px;
    background:#fff;
    border:5px solid #ccc;
}

#featured ul.ui-tabs-nav{
    position:absolute;
    top:0; left:400px;
    list-style:none;
    padding:0; margin:0;
    width:250px;
}
#featured ul.ui-tabs-nav li{
    padding:1px 0; padding-left:13px;
    font-size:12px;
    color:#666;
}
#featured ul.ui-tabs-nav li span{
    font-size:11px; font-family:Verdana;
    line-height:18px;
}
#featured .ui-tabs-panel{
    width:400px; height:250px;
    background:#999; position:relative;
        overflow:hidden;
}
#featured .ui-tabs-hide{
    display:none;
}
#featured li.ui-tabs-nav-item a{/*On Hover Style*/
    display:block;
    height:60px;
    color:#333;  background:#fff;
    line-height:20px;
}
#featured li.ui-tabs-nav-item a:hover{
    background:#f2f2f2;
}
#featured li.ui-tabs-selected{ /*Selected tab style*/
    background:url('http://demo.webdeveloperplus.com/featured-content-slider/images/selected-item.gif') top left no-repeat;
}
#featured ul.ui-tabs-nav li.ui-tabs-selected a{
    background:#ccc;
}
#featured ul.ui-tabs-nav li img{
    float:left; margin:2px 5px;
    background:#fff;
    padding:2px;
    border:1px solid #eee;
}
#featured .ui-tabs-panel .info{
    position:absolute;
    top:180px; left:0;
    height:70px;
    background: url('http://demo.webdeveloperplus.com/featured-content-slider/images/transparent-bg.png');
}
#featured .info h2{
    font-size:18px; font-family:Georgia, serif;
    color:#fff; padding:5px; margin:0;
    overflow:hidden;
}
#featured .info p{
    margin:0 5px;
    font-family:Verdana; font-size:11px;
    line-height:15px; color:#f0f0f0;
}
#featured .info a{
    text-decoration:none;
    color:#fff;
}
#featured .info a:hover{
    text-decoration:underline;
}

This worked for me...

TheLastSuperman · #19 08-01-2009, 06:18 PM

Thanks! 3.8.3 Forum Home and tested in Member Profile too with various code, downloaded images and js files per url's given so I wouldn't be using their bandwidth and just so I have them and now it's all internal - nice

Edit: Ohh and quick thought everyone, find the url for the arrow pointer in the code above and copy/paste into browser then you can change and make yourself a new pointer or just make one w/o donwloading the other and simply replace w/ the new url of the one you made and uploaded

Thanks TheLastSuperman,

I will be updating those and I am in the process to convert this into a product hopefully when I am done all of this will be implemented.

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