EDIT: Found these things in the slideshow.php file that is for download here.


EDIT 2: Ok this did not work I need specific instructions for install. There are 2 different files you say to modify stuff ina file that is not in that file and its in the attached file for this module instead. I need to know exactly how to get this to work in CMPS.

The forum ID's and File Path are located in the file - mod_fpslideshow.php

This file is included in the add-on you purchased from Joomla.

Here's a snippet of what it should look like.

// vBulletin Settings
$forumid				= array(1,2,3,etc);	// Set forum IDs here.
$limit					= '8';					// Limit the displayed slides
$vbpath					= '';					// Path to vBulletin, e.g. "forums/", or leave as is for root.

You shouldn't have to edit the file you downloaded from this thread.

If I were starting this from scratch, I'd just head to Joomla and dload their package for vb. Very easy to install with instructions.

Figured out myself how to install the newest version into a vba block. Tweaked the look a tad. Wallah.

I accomplished the look with one set of tr/td tags and I switched out the default slideshow background image. It would take a novice no time at all.

Check it out

I'll be releasing this week something much better than joomla. You can see it on my homepage. Yo will have 3 choices of display and this can hold thousands of images without a single query and will load instantly

I'm down if it works. Especiallly with the no queries.

It has been working perfectly for me for the past 6-8 months. I finally decided to package it and am allowing for 3 diferent ways to display, fully customizable in admincp

Nice. I'll look forward to testing it for ya.

Ok its me again. My client got the package from the page for vbulletin. I've modified the file and done everything just the way it says and I get a blank page with an outline of the slideshow script viewer. Anyone have any idea what the prob is?

Got a screen?

[MPDesignZ]

It just makes the entire thing go blank. Everything goes away until I disable the plugin. Don't have a screen shot of a blank white page

It shouldn't be a plugin. You should be using the php file in your forums/modules directory, then add a module (php module) using mod_fpslideshow as your php file.
