[Plugin: NextGEN Gallery] Album and compact gallery not working anymore

  • I have a few nextgen albums on my site with:

    [album id=1 template=compact]

    Up until recently everything worked fine, but now the gallery thumbnails are still shown but when i click on them only the html site where the albums are supposed to be is shown and nothing else.

    I inserted [nggallery id=1 template=compact] for debugging reasons and got:
    Rendering of template gallery-compact.php failed.

    I reinstalled nextgen, downgraded to 1.8.0, checked all permissions in the plugin folder but always the same error.

    Does someone have a solution for this or a similar error?
    You can check under unikatmagazin.at and Gallery

    [nggaller id=1] its working

    [nggallery id=1]

    Check both folders /wp-content/plugins/nextgen-gallery/view/ and /wp-content/themes/2010UNIKAT/nggallery/ for the gallery-compact.php file. If it is missing, just download the plugin and copy the files or update the whole plugin.

    I just checked, and the gallery-compact.php indeed doesnt exist.
    So i downloaded the last Version 1.8.4, as a zip, but i couldnt find a gallery-compact.php in there either?
    So where is that file supposed to come from?

    The file should be located in /ngg-gallery/view/.
    If you copy all files within the view-folder to a “nggallery” subfolder within your theme-folder, they won’t be affected by plugin updates in the future.

    So just create a folder called “nggallery” within the “2010UNIKAT” folder and copy all files from the “view” folder. You can make your own templates there too.

    f.e.: If you change the gallery-compact.php and save it as gallery-custom.php you could access it with [nggallery id=x template=custom]

    Cheers

    Yeah the problem is i cant find the gallery-compact.php, and neither can i in the last few version of nextgen?

    *facepalm*
    Sorry, but I was totally wrong!
    There is no compact template for the gallery, but there’s a compact template for albums. Maybe you should just erase the template=compact from the gallery shortcode and everything should properly work.

    Ah okay, that resolves the testcase, with [nggallery id=1 template=compact]
    But i still dont know, why the albums are not working with my nextgen installation anymore :).
    Thnx for caring btw.

    ok ??

    Is there any error occurring on the album pages? ‘Cause it might be another template error ??

    No theres no error, it just shows nothing but the same page the album is on, but without the album this time.

    I discovered one strange thing, if i insert for example
    [album id=1 template=compact] in my WP-Page look at the preview of the site it works, but when i go with publish, the resulting page has the erronous albums.
    Iam at a real loss, looks like i will have to dig into the code and place some debug messages or stuff, ui php here i come..

    ok… I totally know what you’re talkin’ about ??

    I solved it this way (and it’s even more comfortable for later changes):
    Just add a page for each gallery within the album. When you enter the “Galerie verwalten”-tab you can automatically generate pages for each gallery, links and stuff are being set automatically.
    Ahh yeah…Disable the “Keine Seitenverzweigung” checkbox within Optionen/Galerie
