What is a "content slider"?

Something like that - you can see it in action on this demo site from one of the Support staff, Mark:

- Add Admin ability to auto-subscribe users to specific channel(s)
- Highlight the correct navigation tab when you are on a custom page

Yep, mine is an example of what you can do with it.
By default, it will pull the last five "Featured" topics. If there is an image attached to the topic, that image will be used as the background for the slider for that entry. If there's no image, it shows a generic background.
So, to use it, drag a content slider module to wherever you want it to show. Then go in feature some topics with images, then clear the system cache, and the slider should populate.
You can play with the search JSON string to make it show other topics, but featured topics is probably the best use of it, otherwise it's harder to control what appears.

Mark,
I'm trying to use this Content Slider. If you (or someone) can help with this.
Using the default search setting in the module
{"featured":1,"sort":{"created":"desc"}}
I only have ONE topic marked as Featured (http://www.tlplanet.com/forum/main-f...ac-daddy-s-tlr).
The topic has pictures in it (linked) but they are not showing in the slider as a background of the slider. Do the pictures need to be attached as opposed to linked? If yes, any way to display linked pictures?

You should use:
{"featured":1,"sort":{"created":"desc"}}
Then, you need to feature some threads with attached images. That string pulls featured threads into the slider.

I've also tried to attach a picture in an existing thread. Neither pulls the picture.
Am I missing something?
This is on a vbCloud with 5.1.6.
