vBulletin Slide Show 1.10 · **Released**: 12-17-2009

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;
To allow members to posts series of images not limited in size, but kept at images hosting sites like photobucket.com, imageshack.com, tinypic.com, etc...;
To allow continuing discussions within those threads displaying slide shows.

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". The basis templates have been adapted from the vBulletin Album templates.

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;

For those in desperate need of a demo: Outside vBulletin environment, you can find a raw slide show example here, and a sample display of all slide shows here.

Update in v.1.01

In the installation section of the XML:

`cover` varchar(250) NOT NULL),

changed to

`cover` varchar(250) NOT NULL,

Parenthesis removed just after the NULL. This might be causing the failure in creating the slideshow table on some databases.

2.
Option not to display the slideshow on forumhome added and checked.

Unfortunately, I don't have VBSEO and will not be able to test and provide support in that area.

Looks like it has potential. Is there any way to define the slideshow size?

There is a complicated way. I have adjusted it to display well and fit on most screens.

Update in v.1.02

The following piece of code in the XML and PHP files:

Code:

query_write("DELETE FROM `". TABLE_PREFIX ."slideshow` WHERE `slideshow`.`slideshowid`=

has been replaced by

Code:

query_write("DELETE FROM `". TABLE_PREFIX ."slideshow` WHERE `slideshowid`=

as it affects databases with prefixed tables.

Well it's not that simple, for example i have a sidebar in my showthread pages, so it just breaks my layout. If you think it's not much trouble to share how it changes its size, please do.

Try increasing the screen resolution of your computer display. I hope you are not using a 640x480 screen resolution (lol). If you still have the sidebar breaking, you can try adjusting the slideshow parameters in the following files:

The file called "epidiascope.js" controls the width and height of the main slideshow display. Open that file and search for:

Code:

	maxWidth : 910,
	maxHeight : 700,
	minWidth : 720,

The style sheet file "style.css" also control the display. Search for:

Code:

#wrap{width:950px;text-align:left;margin:0 auto;padding:5px 0;}
#efpBigPic{text-align:center;zoom:1;position:relative;border-top:1px solid #e5e6e6;width:950px;}
#d_BigPic{width:950px;overflow-x:hidden;min-height:300px;_height:300px;}
#endSelect #endSelClose{background:url(e_m_01.png) no-repeat -300px -950px;position:absolute;top:3px;right:3px;cursor:pointer;width:11px;height:11px;overflow:hidden;z-index:2;}

and adjust the value of the width parameter.

Also in style sheet file "style.css", search for:

Code:

#d_picIntro{color:#666;width:750px;margin:0 auto;text-indent:2em;line-height:1px;}
#efpTxt .others{text-align:right;width:750px;margin:0 auto;padding:5px 0 0;color:#ccc; height:1px}

and adjust the width parameter.

The files mentioned above can be found in the upload folder of the mod.
