FYI I got this error but discovered that when copying and pasting the youtube user name I inadvertently included a space at the end. Removing the space caused it to work as advertised.

Its only been about 20 minutes working with it but so far it’s an excellent plugin – Thanks Silvia!!

Figured it out – I read this, analyzed the code, made some tweaks as per the codex, I’m good.

hope it helps someone else ??

is there a fix for this? Every thread I’ve seen ends with Alex offering to debug on server, but nothing gets posted for the rest of us…

its the same issue for me:

progress bar shows upload complete but text says 0 pictures have been added. FTP reveals that files are in fact there. Works with flash, non flash, zip upload options, but pictures always are 0…

also when creating empty gallery and then FTP’ing image files into the gallery folder, clicking “scan for new files” used to find the files and populate the gallery – now it says:

0 picture(s) successfully added
Unable to create directory /home/decross/public_html/cckearny//thumbs !

Not only is that a broken path, but all the other gallery data seems to get dropped from the form.

Help! I love NGGallery but this is making it unusable for me and my clients…

…that actually works for me – ??

This may help someone else – I’m uploading an image via media library and using it as a static image in the site. I get the URL to the file once it’s uploaded and hard code it into the site HTML.

Using the media library I can now change that image by deleting it and then uploading a replacement file with the same name. The task stays within WordPress – no FTP’ing!

a quick gripe if I may – why can’t there be an upload link right on the Media Library page? You can view and delete an image there but you have to go all the way over to create -> post and use the add media buttons above the tiny mce bar to upload…

Anyway – thanks Otto42 for helping me to think through this…

…to clarify: if I upload an image and then a month later delete it and upload a new file with the same name the path will likely be different…

but understand that the media library stores the image file in a folder hierarchy by date. If I delete an image and then upload one with the same name a month later its not guaranteed that it will have the same path…

I’ll have to look into the NG gallery’s way of storing files…

Thanks for the reply

found it – never mind… grey on black is a little easy to miss on my older laptop…

whoa! Nice, but I think I need something simple – no tracking or grouping or anything fancy. Just clickable rotating images…

thanks though…

Hmmm… I think I see what you are saying – somewhere somehow I do need to manually set the desired category to be filtered…

…and I guess that instead of using the category id to filter wp_list_bookmarks() I can use the category name and pass it to the template (actually the page created from the template) via the post’s custom fields…

Sound right?

…and I guess that without creating a plug in or hacking the admin I cant dynamically show a list or drop down of link categories on the write post admin page… any ideas about that possibility?

Thanks for helping me to think through this…

…that wont work. What I’m looking to do is dynamically get the name of the link (bookmark) category the links being displayed are assigned to…

If I can get all the bookmarks in a category and list them via “wp_list_bookmarks” then how can I display the name of the category being listed? Some variable somewhere has to contain that name right?

if it helps to visualize, here’s my template code:

(“XXXXX” is where I’d like to dynamically insert the bookmark category name, category id “9” is what I’m filtering here.)

<div id="content" class="widecolumn">

<div class="pagetitle">XXXXX</a></div>

<div id="customlinkpagenav">
<ul>
  <?php wp_list_bookmarks('hide_invisible=0&show_description=1&orderby=name&category=9&&title_before=&title_after=&categorize=0&title_li='); ?>
</ul>
</div>

</div>

why? All we’d do is take on more tasks and fill up our time just the same… I just wish we all would have less to do!
