Hi, I submitted a previous entry asking about this due to the bugs in showing them smallest view and hoping for a fix. It hasn’t been addressed yet (to my knowledge).

Hi All, there’s a bug in the code for the third slider. If you open the file theme-options.php in the functions folder you’ll find a section called “Slider Setting”

In that area you’ll see info for all three slider areas. the third one has a mistake in that it is marked the same as the second one in the code. So for each “ID” line change the 2 at the end of the name to a 3 for all 4 names and it will now work.

Ok, fixed my own issue. Was related to the mysql setting for max_allowed_packet being defaulted to 1mb, once I set it higher things worked fine.

Hi Zoonini,
thank you for the info. This does raise one other interesting question though: What determines the “updated date”? Because all of my plugins have been updated way more recently than the dates shown. The file dates on the files themselves are all from 2011. It’s weird in that I updated the Archive and the News plugins at the same time, but one shows the new 2011 dte and the other still shows the very old update date. As far as I know this doesn’t get set anywhere in any of the files by me.

Just another strange thing.

Hi, I have even more issues than just comments. I made the ssl change to the code and now I get the amount and other elements–but I don’t get the payer’s email or name in the database–and no emails are sent out.

Any new ideas? I’m using WordPress 2.9.2

If you want to add a huge number of photos to a gallery you may want to look at one of the image gallery plugins that exist. Most have some ability to detect and display them for you automatically. My AWSOM Pixgallery plugin does this and I’m sure NextGen has the ability to do it also. The added bonus is you don’t have to conform to anyone else’s idea of where to put the files. I don’t believe the built in gallery in WordPress can do this though, you’ll need to add them using the media uploader function.

Or AWSOM News Announcement which does this and a lot more.

Depending on how you want to do it you could also take a look at my AWSOM News Announcement plugin.

The hooks have an optional second parameter which adds a position number to when the plugin should become active. If you don’t add a number it defaults to “10”. Many people place a very high number in there (like 50 or even 1000) if they really want their plugin to fire last. Obviously putting a smaller number makes it go earlier in the chain. Since many plugin developers never add this optional element into the activation hook it’s a toss up as to what order all of the 10’s get activated.

I would look at their theme files, some are now embedding their own javascript and there’s a good chance it conflicts with the NextGen stuff.

What type of sorting by date are you looking for Fightingcat? Do you mean by time they were uploaded? (like, in the order over time they were put in the gallery? Or do you mean more advanced sorting like what time of day were they added to the gallery)

An easy way to do this is to use my News Announcement plugin that’s basically designed to do this (and more). It’s available from my AWSOM.org website here.

Hi, did you try out AWSOM Pixgallery? I assume you mean nested galleries in the sense that you can have folders within folders within your gallery. AWSOM Pixgallery allows you to do this by simply adding a folder to an existing gallery and it appears. You then just add a code to your post/page referencing the main gallery and it and all sub folder galleries appear.

If this is happening it means that there is probably some javascript that is included in your theme that is killing or conflicting with the Lightbox functions. It’s also possible your CSS file for your theme is messing something up.

Hi, it depends on how you want this to work. AWSOM Pixgallery has a feature that automatically makes links under images IF that image is named for the date of the post you want to link to (this is part of the ComicPress theme support built into AWSOM Pixgallery). So if you name your image say 04122008.jpg then Pixgallery will make a link under that image that goes to the post(s) that were posted on that day. This is to allow news/image cross posting automatically. This feature is optional and needs to be turned on in the options/setting area of Pixgallery.

Of course you can add individual image and gallery captions using Pixgallery and just put a link there also, but that’s a manual process as opposed to the above automatic one.
