I will add an option to ignore locked topics. Do you have the same problem when getting contents from forum feed (rss)?

 

Not from RSS, I simply made a new slider, added 1 forum, set permissions and then added to the forums index. When I pressed save, it just displayed a white box, wouldn't load the slider, cleared cache, and browser cache. I did work fine If I selected ALL FORUMS which I thought was weird? But I do have it working now.

May be you turned on 'ignore topics with no images', and in this case, the topics in selected forum don't have any images so the slider is empty.

This wasn't enabled at first, I only switched it on after I realised that all forums setting worked. With all the default settings the slider wouldn't show. I will see if I can replicate it.

Whatever it was, it seems to work fine now. Left the default settings in place and the slider works. So my issues is fixed.

Any chance of supporting the new Classifieds app from Adriano?

On classifieds we can have a package which has the option to FEATURE the ad. If these ads could be placed in your slider that would be fantastic!

I think there is a bug there. I have currently set the feed from pages and to only read 4 records, i don't want any more. It does display only 4, but in the background it loads 10, then cuts it down to 4 to display.

I'm not sure but I will consider.

Yes, it needs to read the page source first to get all rss items, then cuts X items to display.

I have to replicate those settings and did not work I'm afraid.

There is no feed as such as I simply just selected the forum sections from the drop down list.

The page I am trying to set it up on is: https://www.vr6oc.com/forum/forums/

Which RSS URL do you use on your slider?

There is no RSS feed as I am using the Get contents from "Forum" where I then select the forums I wish to use.

I can not reproduce this issue, can you give me the screenshots of slider & widget configurations?

on the widget configuration despite selecting my feed associated with forum, it keeps defaulting back to my slider that is on the home page.

will upload screenshots shortly.

Above, if I select "Forum" and click save, next time I open it again it displays the "Home" widget, so not actually able to select "Forum" for what ever reason, but if I add feed from gallery, it selects and remembers the option OK

There are 2 options that you enabled "Get last image in last post", "Ignore topics if no images". So if a topic has no images in latest post, it will be ignored. Try to turn off "ignore topics if no images" you will see your slider.

I'd love this as well... ?

[VR6Pete]

Still not working  

I've set it with the most relaxed configuration possible  and I know I have images available.

I still cannot select "forum" on the widget configuration. It just defaults back to the first value. 

[CP_User]

Have you tried clearing the site cache and browser cache? Permissions set correctly? Not sure why mine started working randomly after changing the settings.

Try to open \applications\featuredcontent\widgets\fcontentWidget.php

Find

$form->add( new \IPS\Helpers\Form\Select( 'sliderID_to_show', isset( $this->configuration['sliderID_to_show'] ) ? $this->configuration['sliderID_to_show'] : 0, TRUE, array( 'options' => $options, 'parse' => 'normal' ) ) );	

Replace by

$form->add( new \IPS\Helpers\Form\Select( 'sliderID_to_show', isset( $this->configuration['sliderID_to_show'] ) ? intval( $this->configuration['sliderID_to_show'] ) : 0, TRUE, array( 'options' => $options, 'parse' => 'normal' ) ) );

Save

I see the issue slider can not be shown because all images have dead links.

Try to use this cimage version

https://invisionpower.com/applications/core/interface/file/attachment.php?id=71715

Or config your cimage to allow external url.

Hello @onlyME,

I've used your great slider for several years, and it was working perfectly up until a couple of days ago when I tried to get 

to work on my site which causes an error. I believe this has caused your slider to disappear.  I've cashed the site many times, I've uninstalled the Global Header Message app from my site, cashed again and uninstalled all the other apps and pluggins and enabled the slider, and it still won't show on the index or my forum page. 

I'm currently on 4.1.14.3 and I've downloaded and installed your latest version of the featured slider,  please take a look.

thank you

Can you give me ACP access so I can take a look?

Morning,

Still having issues I'm afraid. the fix for fcontentWidget.php worked, so now able to select the slider.

I replaced my cimage folder with the one you provided in the attachment.

But the slider is still not displaying.

From F12 debugging tools I can see the URLS are loading, but are not being rendered into the slider.

Notice some of the off-site URLs are being pulled in by the imageproxy as I am running https on my website.

Example:

https://www.vr6oc.com/cimage/webroot/img.php?src=https://www.vr6oc.com/forum/applications/core/interface/imageproxy/imageproxy.php?img=https:/scontent.cdninstagram.com/t51.2885-15/s640x640/sh0.08/e35/14031617_1314889621871942_1234446545_n.jpg?ig_cache_key&key=6da7259694889384f3dda53cb8729f313d875d6d73e4a576b9e92e9ce13678e0&w=310&h=220&cf&q=90

I have checked that the real URL is valid, which it is: https://scontent.cdninstagram.com/t51.2885-15/s640x640/sh0.08/e35/14031617_1314889621871942_1234446545_n.jpg

Furthermore I have checked locally hosted images, which appear to open OK in browser but are not rendered in a slider,

https://www.vr6oc.com/cimage/webroot/img.php?src=https://www.vr6oc.com/forum/uploads/monthly_2016_08/IMG_1472588274.333787.thumb.jpg.6f73550e2093d5e303f4d80a6ce38aae.jpg&w=310&h=220&cf&q=90

Even with cimage disabled, sliders do still not render...

Suspect it may have something to do with the image proxy handling as the following just returns a 500 error internal error?

https://www.vr6oc.com/forum/applications/core/interface/imageproxy/imageproxy.php?img=http:/uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160914/47a98f4b98da05b8b253087d0d40be8c.jpg&key=20515b650b26ac5f99a2383703f6cc859e539d01021d68599a81b8afca952199

again, http:/uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160914/47a98f4b98da05b8b253087d0d40be8c.jpg is a valid URL to the image.

 

 

[onlyME]

There is a known issue with the slider. It can not be shown if it has 1 or more broken images.

See it

It should be img=http://

 

[VR6Pete]

ah, I see, is there a fix for that ?

Check your pm, I sent you a file to fix.

@onlyME

Is there a way to see the entire log / list of slider entries  (topics / images) in the ACP as we could before on 3.4.9 ?  My site is hosted by IPS and I don't have ftp access.  It would just be easier to prune old entries as needed to make sure there aren't any old broken image files.
