Full Version: Nivo slider for header - jquery
You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
What are your thoughts on using a Jquery slider (nivo to be exact) ?

I plan on integrating this with our header to display the different games we play.

Good idea or bad?
It's your desicion but Nivo slider doesn't work right with MyBB. (at least when I last tried it)
Until 1.8 (with jQuery) is out, I suggest to use an Prototype script instead.

Here are some I found:

Cool, I will give it a shot if the nivo fails. Smile

Thx
@maniacmusic Nivo slider (like all jquery plugins / addons) is working with mybb, after including jquery in headerinclude just add noconflict fix (example of headerinclude with jquery, paste it after prototype.js)
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.9.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery.noConflict();
jQuery(document).ready(function($){
//Your jQuery code goes here
});
</script>
I have used Nivo before. Not exactly a bad idea, but you have to be careful about making jQuery work properly.
Johnny... I know... However I couldn't get Nivo slider working correctly,
it was partially working but that wasn't good enough.
It was glitchy.
Well, prove me wrong Smile.
It's working fine on my localhost setup, many theme devs (including myself) are using jquery in themes are there aren't any problems with that.
That screenshot doesn't prove that the slider is behaving 100% correctly.
If you think it does, kudos. Smile
Test it and chage http://127.0.0.1/forum in headerinclude and in txt file to your board url.

It's either working or not.

Edit: nivo slider content can be placed on portal page for testing purposes.
That's good news johnny, thank you !
