vBulletin Slide Show 1.10 · **Released**: 12-18-2009

About
This mod was commissioned by "The Land of Fu" and approved for release at vbulletin.org. The original goals for developing this mod were:

To reduce the growing size of vbulletin database;

Acknowledgement
The basis codes used in this mod originate from SINA?s, an online media company and MVAS provider in the People's Republic of China and the global Chinese communities, and have been modified to suit the needs of "The Land of Fu".

Code:

ALTER TABLE `thread` ADD `slideshowid` INT( 10 ) UNSIGNED DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL;
ALTER TABLE `user` ADD `slideshows` INT( 10 ) UNSIGNED DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL;

Replace TABLE_PREFIX by your actual table prefix. If you have none, then use the instruction:

Thank you for the feedback. It has been implemented.

I will test it now. Thanks! I just want to ask something else here! If my members enter, well, let's say 10 wallpapers to the slideshow. If other members want to download the wallpaper, how do they do that from within the slideshow?

EDIT: Also, is there a way to change the white background?

At the current state, there is no option to download from within the slideshow. I will add that option to a forecoming version. :up:

The background color is defined in the css style sheets associated with the mod. In a forecoming version, I will add an inline style option to overwrite it and allow a user defined background color. :up:

Thank you! I can confirm that the delete slideshow is now working properly. I hope to see those added features soon!

Those are really very important to me, and I guess others too.

How about an option to enable a slide show at the top of the forum index page?

That'd be awesome!

There is already an option included for displaying, above the forums on the index page, a small slideshow window containing as pictures 5 randomly selected covers from existing slideshows.

If you mean something else, please be specific.

Installed and working well.

How/where do I change/remove the text ".A total of 16 pictures. Current set, picture." at the top of the slide show?

Thanks!

klaush · #39 12-22-2009, 12:15 PM

O.k., we got it working! Once again thanks for this fine mod!

klaush · #40 12-22-2009, 12:44 PM

One question, is it possible to get this to work with the vb albums?
