Hey there,
I see you were able to get this worked out. Any chance you will share what you did? I have a project that needs the same type of display functions.

Thanks in advance.

lol turns out more specific instructions would have done the trick. I was trying to put a list of cat id’s when I should of been putting the cat name…. who knew?

can you set it up so that this function actually works?

Hi Fahdi,

What I am wanting to import is an affiliate datafeed. This feed comes with product images hosted on their server and I would like to use them as the product image(s) and like hilmon I would like to have one column designated as the post thumbnail.

Being able to connect medial library images to products would certainly be a handy feature. I have worked on a number of affiliate store sites that receive products with image urls. Why force the extra step of uploading hundreds or even thousands of images via the media library?

Hi dvkob,
Any recent developments on uploading featured images?

Additionally, it doesn’t seem to be outputting the link when the alt is a link. Here is the chunk of code I am working on (which starts at line 171)….

$image = new nggImage($result);
        $image_alt = trim($image->alttext);
			$image_alt = "\"" . esc_attr($image_alt) . "\" ";
        $image_description = trim($image->description);
			if($image_description != '')

        {

          $image_description = "" . esc_attr($image_description) . "";

        }

        else

        {

          $image_description = '';

        }
        $output .= "\n    <li>";

        // check that alt is url with a simple validation
        $use_url = false;
        if($image_alt != '' && (substr($image_alt, 0, 1) == '/' || substr($image_alt, 0, 4) == 'http' || substr($image_alt, 0, 3) == 'ftp'))
        {
          $use_url = true;
        }
        // if alt isn't a url make it the alt text to backwards support nextgen galleries

        if($use_url)
        {
          $output .= "<a href=\"" . esc_attr($image_alt) . "\">";
        }

        if($image_description != '')
        {
          $image_description = "title=\"" . esc_attr($image_description) . "\" ";
        }
        else
        {
          $image_description = '';
        }

        $width_d = '';
        $height_d = '';
        if($width != '' && $height != '')
        {
          $width_d = " width=\"" . $width . "\"";
          $height_d = " height=\"" . $height . "\"";
        }     

		 $output .= "<a class=\"thickbox\" rel=\"%GALLERY_NAME%\" href=\"" . $image->imageURL . "\"><img src=\"" . $image->imageURL . "\" " . $image_description . $width_d . $height_d . " border=\"0\" /></a>";

        if($use_url)
        {
          $output .= "</a>";
        }
        $output .="</li>";

Hey thanks for the feedback.

I was able to get the thick-box to come up just by changing the class in the output.

None of page lines match up with the ones you suggested.

Anyhoo… now I am trying to get the description to show up when you hover on the image.

Any advice?

Here is a copy of the coding I used to get the thickbox to work….

$output .= "<a class=\"thickbox\" rel=\"%GALLERY_NAME%\" href=\"" . $image->imageURL . "\"><img src=\"" . $image->imageURL . "\" " . $image_description . $width_d . $height_d . " border=\"0\" /></a>";

I am confused by this as well. The screenshots show the progress bar on the front page view but the actual plugin doesn’t do that. At least not on my installation. I tried disabling all of the other plugins but that didn’t help any.

I tried turbulent software’s autoresponder plug-in and for $49 it was pretty great. Sub blogs are able to use it with no problem in a multisite installation.

While that’s all fine and good I chose to use a paid solution for my multisite and a different system system for my website development that allows me to manage the campaigns of my subscribers while they pay the company directly. It allows me to mark up the service as much as I want.

I’m just full of questions tonight…. the button link markup, can you give a functional example for us? [jbutton *#|link=”https://coolredcouch.com” color=”darkgray” size=”xxlarge”]Button[/jbutton] seems to just link back to whatever page it is on.

Hey while you are around…… what is the proper markup for the accordian?

Interesting…. 2010 theme it works perfect. Any idea what I would need to change on my theme to prevent it from being overridden?

Hey thanks for the quick reply. “colcss works fine but not colgap. Don’t know if that tells you anything. I’ll try a different theme just the same.
