jquery slider replacing header image

[Pebbles]

have you ever seen something like this, the jquery slider
...>>> http://www.theavatarportal.org/

but then executed within a forum theme?
if so, what kind of software??? vbulletin, ipb, smf, phpbb etc?

im trying to figure out if its possible to have a jquery slider as header in a smf theme(instead of just 1 header image, i would like to have more and with a modern touch and help of a jquery slider , it would be pretty awesome to have that as header look)
if its possible in any forum software at all :great:

i asked on the official smf support forum and all i basically got as answer is ; google jquery slider and you will find your answer....
and i did google stuff like that but i havent found a website or forum that actually states how it can be done within a smf theme

would be weird if its not possible though, i mean, if it can be achieved within a website design, then there should be options for forums right :shrug:

thank you​

I am assuming you're referring to the content slider below the logo and navigation bar, then?

There is no reason you wouldn't be able to implement it into any forum software, SMF or otherwise. You simply need to include the jQuery library in your header or header includes. The only reason why jQuery features would not work with any form of software is if there were another library conflicting with it. For instance, MyBB currently uses Prototype, which does conflict a bit with jQuery. That doesn't mean you can't use it, just that you need to make a few minor changes/adaptations to the code in order to get them to be compatible with each other. Fortunately, MyBB is dropping Prototype in 1.8 for jQuery. I am quite looking forward to that.


In any case, implementing something like this is rather simple. Include the jQuery library in your header includes (or at/near the very top of your header) as well as the script required for the content slider, like so:

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.0.3/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="link/to/slider/script"></script>

Then you would need to make the necessary CSS includes and HTML implementations.

It'd really be best for you to look for some tutorials on the matter, as the process varies dependent on what you're trying to do, what theme you're trying to implement it for, etc.

If you are unfamiliar with theme editing / creation or design programming (CSS/HTML), then it'd likely be best to get someone else to do it for you, as it will require intermediate knowledge in those fields.

Moved to a more suitable forum. 🙂

yes, yes i am
i can do photoshop but im pretty sure that won't help me at all in this case

is it possible for me to find someone around this forum that could maybe help me out with this in the future? if so, where should i post/look around for such people?

oh and thanks for answering my question so quickly :great:​
