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();

Thanks for the compliment and I am sorry you had to spend a day messing around :-)

OK, so for the link:
In the slider.php find this line:

PHP Code:

$centerhtml .="<h2><a href='".$link."'>".$titleContent."</a></h2>"; 


The key is the $link - you can do one or the other:

Change the line to:

PHP Code:

$centerhtml .="<h2>".$titleContent."</h2>"; 


To drop the link reference

or change the line to:

PHP Code:

$centerhtml .="<h2><a href='http://yourlink.com'>".$titleContent."</a></h2>"; 


To insert your own link to send the user

Hey man... I checked your site:
www.mastdunya.com right?

Your attachment.php is at the root...

So you should drop those changes and put back to:

PHP Code:

$link = "../showthread.php?t=".$threadid."";
$imagepath = "../attachment.php?attachmentid=".$pic['attach']; 


Did you upload slider to the correct directory? /clientscript

Make it show articles.. instead?

Yeah that would be nice...
I'll look into it in the future...

Would be great if it could be placed on the forum home like here

[murekhalir]

There any way to just make it 100% customizable, with a click-through link?

Or does it already do that. I'll give it a try.
