As far as I know, the plugin is working in multisite mode, but shortcodes are not supported in widget areas by default.
You should better manually insert the PHP code in your widget template files.
However, give a look at https://digwp.com/2010/03/shortcodes-in-widgets/

Well, If I understand correctly, there’s no real *sliding* thumbnails, but just an alignment. So, if what you need is just a thumbnail list, you could rely on a custom loop for posts and pages, or a gallery plugin for image post attachments.

Frankly, I’m successfully using Combo Slideshow with the “Cleaner Gallery” plugin and/or the WP default gallery on multiple sites.

What do you mean by “breaks” and “conflicts”? Javascript, the PHP output or what?

Can you please provide a link to have a look at your problem?

edit the plugin file video-thumbnails.php
and replace the default Vimeo section with:

// Vimeo
		if($new_thumbnail==null) {

			// Standard embed code
			preg_match('#<object[^>]+>.+?https://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf\?clip_id=([A-Za-z0-9\-_]+)&.+?</object>#s', $markup, $matches);
			if(!isset($matches[1])) {
				preg_match('#<object[^>]+.+?https://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf\?clip_id=([A-Za-z0-9\-_]+)&.+?</object>#s', $markup, $matches);
			}

			// Find Vimeo embedded with iframe code
			if(!isset($matches[1])) {
				preg_match('#https://player.vimeo.com/video/([0-9]+)#s', $markup, $matches);
			}

			// If we still haven't found anything, check for Vimeo embedded with JR_embed
			if(!isset($matches[1])) {
		    	preg_match('#\[vimeo id=([A-Za-z0-9\-_]+)]#s', $markup, $matches);
		    }

			// If we still haven't found anything, check for Vimeo URL
			if(!isset($matches[1])) {
			preg_match('#https://w?w?w?.?vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf\?clip_id=([A-Za-z0-9\-_]+)#s', $markup, $matches);
		    }
			if(!isset($matches[1])) {
		    	preg_match('#https://w?w?w?.?vimeo.com/([A-Za-z0-9\-_]+)#s', $markup, $matches);

		    }

			// If we still haven't found anything, check for Vimeo shortcode
			if(!isset($matches[1])) {
		    	preg_match('#\[vimeo clip_id="([A-Za-z0-9\-_]+)"[^>]*]#s', $markup, $matches);

		    }
			if(!isset($matches[1])) {
		    	preg_match('#\[vimeo video_id="([A-Za-z0-9\-_]+)"[^>]*]#s', $markup, $matches);
		    }
			if(!isset($matches[1])) {
		    	preg_match('#\[vimeo ([A-Za-z0-9\-_]+)*]#s', $markup, $matches);
		    }
		//echo '<pre>MATCH:';print_r($matches[1]);echo '</pre>';
			// Now if we've found a Vimeo ID, let's set the thumbnail URL
			if(isset($matches[1])) {
				$vimeo_thumbnail = getVimeoInfo($matches[1], $info = 'thumbnail_large');
				if(isset($vimeo_thumbnail)) {
					$new_thumbnail = $vimeo_thumbnail;
				}
			}
		}

Thanks! I’m working on a new version and I hope to fix any reported issues ASAP.

By the way, a container div “wrapper” has been added (it should be set to “position: relative” to avoid bad positioning while loading) so you may have to adjust your CSS.

Custom slide image resizing was a buggy feature in the previous versions, but now it should be restored to work as expected: since one cannot load huge files multiple times, first it will resize uploaded/external images to fit the slideshow size, and then generate slideshow thumbnails according to the global options.

Unfortunately, fixed dimensions are still not an option in feeding javascript effects properly.

Sorry but i couldn’t exactly get the scenario…
first of all, what WP and Combo Slideshow versions are you running?
are you trying to insert a “custom” slideshow (single slides set in the “manage slides” admin panel) or your “blog summary” (displaying each post’s thumbnail)?

Unfortunately, no more than one “custom” gallery are available at the moment.

Shortcodes are obviously meant to be used in the post content and slide-show the post attachments gallery OR the “custom” one.
In order to get it in your homepage you have to manually insert the manual code in the template files, as you almost did…
but you have to replace $output = true, $post_id = null because these are only the default parameters and their default values: so it’s
$CMBSLD_Gallery -> slideshow(true, '22'); to show the attachment gallery for post ID 22
$CMBSLD_Gallery -> slideshow(true, null, null, null, true); for the custom slideshow
(sorry can’t remember if quotation marks are required around IDs or if you can safely use ” instead of null)

But the global blog summary still needs another function
show_combo_slider()

Captions and links should be taken from:
-the post title/link (with global blog summary slideshow)
-the attachment title/link (with post gallery slideshow)
-the slide title/link as set in “manage slides” (with custom)

I’m working on a new version, I’m trying to double-check everything to catch any possible bug, but if you can’t wait and want to edit the crucial file gallery.php, I guess I need to better focus on what you’re trying to accomplish.

still experiencing problems even with version 1.4?

ehmm give a try to the latest version.
titles should be loaded in the file views/default/gallery.php
as $slide -> title

It should be the title of the post if you’re using the “global” blog slideshow that cycles through post thumbnails.
With custom managed slideshow, it should indeed display the custom slide title you’ve set.

Can you link a test page?

Do you mean custom taxonomies?

The expand / collapse effect cannot take place until you keep getting Javascript errors in your site.
I’m referring to the “Rating Stars” plugin you’re running, look at your browser’s error console.
It seems also that you’re running jQuery plugins, so I recommend you to use the original Collapsing Categories since this version is explicitly devoted to the MooTools framework, mainly in order to avoid massive Javascript overloads and possible conflicts.
However, it should anyway load somehow, while actually it doesn’t: I will investigate, but please provide more links.

About the double bullets, double check the plugin CSS override settings and any other additional stylesheet loaded.

Thank you!
I’ve merged this patch into the new 0.5 version, along with other features. However, all this stuff has still to be tested deeply.

As for galleries, NextGen is not supported but you can always use the [slideshow post_id=XXX ] shortcode to display a given post/page gallery.

Custom slides are defined in the “Manage Slides” admin page, then they are shown through the [slideshow custom=1] shortcode (as specified by the FAQ), but at the moment the custom slide link won’t open in a lightbox. If you absolutely need it, try by adding the class $imgbox at line 331 and 333 as it has been done at line 273 and 275.

Thumbnails can be enabled in the “Configuration” pane, style and position will change according to your CSS.

I hope you’re going to enjoy this plugin.

Thanks, this trick has been implemented in the latest (0.5) version of the plugin

As said in another support topic, custom post types should be supported in the latest (0.5) release. This means that slugs should work on WPEC product as well.

Unfortunately, at the moment I’m unable to test if it’s going as expected.
If so, can you please confirm?

Meanwhile, I’m marking the topic as solved until further notice of fault
