From the Screenshot contest thread:

post 7
post 16
post 27
post 40

there might be more but that was a quick scan. I think post 40 might be the last attached one.

still that's one thread... all of the ones with redboxes have attached images. I double checked. please feel free to do so as well (its active now) or I can post more examples from other threads as well.

and any ideas why its posting the first image, not the last image?

again, great hack and hoping to get it to work right and thank you for the help. its very much appreciated. :up:

Now, you seem to have some confusion over what attachments are. Attachments are not images included in your thread from imageshack or somewhere else. Attachments are what you uploaded from Manage Attachments when you create a thread.

no, I am aware of that.
I don't why you didn't notice there are plenty of both kinds of images in all of the threads with a red box (as attachments and as external linked in images).

anyway...
could it be related to teh first/last image problem? its seems to be only pulling from the first post (or image linked or otherwise) in a thread.

as for sticky thing:

To confirm...remove:
"sticky DESC," thus the line will look like:
"($forumid) ORDER by threadid DESC LIMIT $limit");"
(no quotes)

Correct?

and I don't know what "notice the comma?" is supposed to mean. I even took a guess at what you meant by "order by" and just searched for term that in the slideshow.php. Again, I am NOT a coder, so no idea of proper protocols or whatever... assume its all pretty much gibberish to me.

no that ain't it either.

cause this thread (first 1 in slideshow) has only two images and both are as attachments...
vote for TSU thread

This one first AND last are also images as attachments (3 in slideshow):
UT potluck tournament results

In contrast, this one WORKS +_+ (slide 5)
things that make you go WTF

hmmm... noticed something:
looks like its only working for threads that have an attached image in the FIRST post.


does that help narrow down potential problems?

Those are posts, not threads.

so? er... are you purposefully trying to be difficult or not actually reading my posts? I'm trying to explain as best I can and I don't understand why you only answer part of the question and so cryptically and not address the actually problem that needs fixing.

Isn't this mod supposed be a slideshow highlighting the last uploaded attached image *which is obviously in a post* from within a thread (from a designated forum/s)?

if not let me know.

sorry, but in the example you provided there are no attachments. I see a big image for an announcement and some signatures images, but no attachments in first thread.

eg: here you said, "no attachments in the first thread"...but there ARE. so I showed you a bunch of posts IN THAT THREAD that have attached images (not just external links to images). Plus, that's not the only example I provided.

Is that not clear? shouldn't that be working then???

I don't understand ... are you saying it IS working and the redbox is correct?
or that it is actually displaying the LAST uploaded image in a thread (even though it clearly isn't).

as I said, it only seems to be WORKING threads with an attached image in the FIRST POST of a thread.

THREADS with ATTACHED IMAGES in other POSTS (not the first)... are ending up with BROKEN images (red box). and it is NOT pulling the LAST image uploaded in a thread for give forums. it IS a bug or something wrong /conflict with my set up.


can you help fix it or not?

is there a reason why my post was completely ignored? i've paid for this script i deserve a little support as well, and I even PMd you about it Lionel...

ok, this is working for me really well!

except one problem lol

in the config i have the limit set to 8

$limit="8";

when i post one new article in the temporary test forum that i am using to test out the script, it works great! article pops up, links work just fine...everything dandy..

when i posted another story after that, no slider at the bottom to select between two stories. it just stays on the first original story. even when i sticky the second/third/fourth story...still just that one originally posted story is showing up, no difference.

i am still trying to figure out the problem, but any assistance would be much appreciated.

***Update - do i have to upload mod_fpslideshow.php or mod_fpslideshow.xml and if so where? and also is the zip file com_fpslidershow1.1.zip of any use, or is it only necessary to use the files in mod_fpslideshow1.1.zip?

I have to agree your installation instructions aren't very elaborate, and you pay 22 euros for files that don't come with any read me's or instructions whatsoever. I hope you can supply me with some good support here or else I'm gonna be pretty upset.

Only problem I am having and can't seem to figure out is it is not allowing multiple stories in the fpslideshow...any help is appreciated asap.

could I have a response to this please.........

[Lionel]

I suggest you read the description of this hack and point to me where it mention posts. There is a difference between posts and threads

I really don't care if you paid for it or not. I am not into helping arrogant posts. You are on your own.

im sorry lionel i dont mean to come off as disrespectful, ive already stated that your mod is great and i dont see what is very arrogant about my post. im only stating the truth, there are no readme files that come with the script, and your instruction in the OP are very scarce, it seems to me that you are being quite arrogant actually...but that is beyond the point, I do require some assistance and i'm respectfully asking if you could help me out in regards to your script which I appreciate you working on and releasing. please don't misjudge my post, i am not being arrogant and i am not an arrogant person whatsoever, you are taking that post the wrong way.

i actually even nominated this script/mod so i really dont appreciate this kind of treatment fyi

[Lionel]

So what is your problem exactly? All you have to do is set the forumsid and it is assumed that you know how to install a module and that you understand the difference between posts and threads. The hack works out of the box.

As far as the digits not displaying, if you read thru the posts, some wantabe smart guy posted a pirated version on the site, so I removed them to protect the developper. If you paid for the javascript, send him an email and ask him for full slideshow.php for vbulletin. That's all.
