Great plugin. Very easy to configure and get going. 

A few questions:

1. I notice on your screen shots that the title of the featured entry appeared below the thumbnail. I'm not seeing that feature, but perhaps I missed it.

2. The images don't appear to be cropping when creating a thumbnail but rather distorting or stretching to fit. Is that expected behavior?

​Hi,

1. It's "Show Title in content", you can see it in Slider's setting -> Basic tab

2. I'm finding a solution for croping images on the fly.

​Thanks for the prompt reply. So I think there is an error in the code. Take a look at what is being spit out. Notice the title floating there:

It seems the title in custom database can not be found. I'll fix it in next version.

​You can fix this issue, open \applications\featuredcontent\sources\Slider\Slider.php

Find (line 473)

'title'  => $row->field_1,

Replace with

'title'  => $row->_title,

Save

Which IPS RC version are you using? Can you give me acp access to take a look

This error message is due to the column "current_appcomponent" is null. Try to run this sql to fix

ALTER TABLE core_sessions CHANGE current_appcomponent current_appcomponent VARCHAR(100) NOT NULL DEFAULT '';

Or go to your ACP -> System -> Support -> choose "Something isn't working correctly" and click Continue to check the sql error and fix automatically

​rc7. the latest i believe. I got the error again after doing the "something now working" fix you suggested. Happened immediately. All other apps/blocks work fine tested.

 

I sent you ACP creds.

Can this pull the latest xx articles from multiple databases?

For example if I have article databases for Topic 1, Topic 2, Topic 3.

Will it pull the latest 8 articles regardless of Topic?

Thanks

You can only choose one database with multiples categories for one slider.

​Cool, thanks. I'll be getting a couple of these.

If you look Pages widget for showing latest records in a db, it is not nicely styled at all no Thumbs ect....  Maybe this could be a good option to replace that.

I think the demo link in the Marketplace works, but the demo link in this thread does not.

I Have a small issue with this, I added a few test positions. Running 4.0.0 and the latest version updated on Sunday of the application.

I can't click to edit any of them (none have images) I can click to drag and sort but not edit?

​So this is like a Block that you can simply click and drag wherever you want it to be?

Is it like the block/widget called Featured Topics? only instead of plain text, it uses thumbnails?

No, drag and drop to so Sort items in the Slider. There is a widget Featured content in block manager that you can drag to your page (see the screenshots)

​Is this what you find? http://community.invisionpower.com/files/file/7365-bim40-gallery-in-post/

[nuberry]

After this i will purchase you gallery in post as well.Just need to see if the first one goes thru as i still not received any info on being able to download the bim40 file yet.
