The URL it's trying to grab for the image is adding on an extra section.

Good job!!!

Have been testing it and it is easy to use, for the most part. As usual, good work from @onlyME.

I have one area that I am struggling with -- resizing.

Without the "On-the-fly Image Resizing URL" there is no way for the images to resize, which means that images of different sizes to the dimensions set in the slider manager are stretched and don't look good. I need to make sure that I am correct with this observation?

Assuming I am correct, can you use "On-the-fly Image Resizing URL" with IPS cloud hosting? If so, can anybody point me to help with setting up something like Cimage or phpThumb, or any such service? Those services don't look as if they are simple to use.

IPS cloud hosting does not support FTP so you can not upload cimage or phpThumb. You can setup cimage on other hosting. Try to download cimage

After uploading to hosting, go to Fcontent setting and setup the url, eg

http://yourdomain/cimage /webroot/img.php?src={url}&w={width}&h={height}&cf&q=90

Thanks! These instructions are great!

Unfortunately it is displaying the images as broken. I ran check_system and everything is fine with cimage.

An example of an image not displaying is with this url:

I'm not sure the problem your cimage can not work with src parameter in url. But wait for the next version, I'm working for a better image cache that you don't need to use external php script.

Thanks for the quick reply! I look forward to the update.

HI, I've just purchased this but cant figure out how to use it, some of the screens on your screenshots Im not sure how to get to? The edit/add content ones specifically. I have the application installed, but in Customization in the featured content section we only have Settings and Slide Manager, and from the Slide Manager i see now way to actually add slides, or upload images, thanks.

[Ausy]

You have to add the slider widget from the block manager.

You need to go settings to turn it on first. After that, go to slider manage and create a new slider. In front site, click the float button on the left to open Block Manager, you will see Featured content widget, drag and and place the widget, then select the slidet that you created.

[OblivionNW]

Oh i see I thought you could manage it from the back end.. thats odd.. possibly to make it editable from the admin panel?

 

[OblivionNW]

Could you give some quick direction on where Id go to add another field to the form, I want to add a 'description' .. I've already migrated the database with a new column, im not new with invision and its templating engine and structure, im not where where id go to add another field to this dialog for a 'description field' ..

I don't understand, do you want to edit slider manually or getting contents automatically from other apps?

[onlyME]

Ok I got it. If you want to add new form, you need to read this post for Form Helper

And the code you need in \applications\featuredcontent\modules\front\slider\view.php

	protected function manageSlider()
    {	
		.....
		$form = new \IPS\Helpers\Form;
		$form->class = 'ipsPad ipsForm_vertical';
		.....
		if ( $values = $form->values() )
		{
			....
		}
	}

You also need to edit applications\featuredcontent\sources\Slider\Slider.php to return an array with your new db column before adding it to template.

protected function fromCustom()
{
	....
}

@onlyME Thanks so much! its working perfectly, the only thing I havent got working now is the form label. it still just says fcc_description (my new db column). The data is persisting and all that is working, just the label I dont know where to define it.. I added a line to the lang file but that didnt seem to help

Try this code

\IPS\Member::loggedIn()->language()->words['fcc_description'] = "Description";

 

[OblivionNW]

I will try but Im more interested in understanding where/how its pulling yours in? are the labels being passed into the constructors for the Helper classes on the form?

$form->add( new \IPS\Helpers\Form\Text( 'fcc_title', $item ? $item['fcc_title'] : NULL, FALSE, array(), NULL, NULL, NULL, 'fcc_title' ) );

$form->add( new \IPS\Helpers\Form\Text( 'fcc_title', $item ? $item['fcc_title'] : NULL, FALSE, array(), NULL, NULL, NULL, 'fcc_title' ) );

for example
