Have you searched for a plugin and installed it? Or added the lightbox js manually?

If not, I would recommend Lightbox Plus as it has several differnt styles you can choose in admin.

Paul

Or see if you have imagemagik installed on your server and select that in options. That helped my issues.

You will need to change the css file and X graphic found under wp-includes/js/thickbox

or install lightbox plus plugin and select lightbox in nextgen options. Lightbox Plus will give you options in the admin panel to change color/styling.

Paul

Don’t have much time right now to look into it but maybe try opening up …/plugins/nextgen-gallery/admin/manage-images.php. Find the description area and code in a link to your file based on what image you are looking at. If you want it to pop up in Thickbox/Lightbox make sure to give it a class of ‘thickbox’, ‘lightbox’, whatever your are using.

Paul

Just curious, are you using GD or imagemagick for image manipulation?

Paul

You can generate thumbnails by using the drop-down menu at the top above the list of pictures (says No Action then a button for apply, sort gallery and save changes). You will need to check all of the pics that you want this done for.

As for the functions.php, it’s not about a corrupt file but rather the fact that their is one all together. For the OP the image to do the cropping on would not show unless he removed the file functions.php. Of course, this would mess up other parts of his site when he did that.

For me all I have to do is navigate away from the page then back and I am able to see the image again.

I was going to see if I can get jQuery imagearea to work with the nextgen plugin as I saw a post by someone saying that when they switched from Jcrop, problems went away in a modal window.

I did see, however, that you were thinking of using sortableUI. Would an expanding div be better in the long run to do thumb/image editing in?

Paul

Just a little update as it has been awhile.

I have it so that there aren’t any script errors being thrown but I can’t seem to get the image to load a second time when you click on the Edit Thumb button again.

The only fix for this that I have found is to exit out of the browser or, from a recent post on an older thread, remove the functions.php file from the template folder.

hmm

Are you trying this in Firefox?

Atleast on my machine, that doesn’t happen while using FireFox. And I was under the impression that the Edit Thumbs link was removed for IE users since it had so many problems.

Paul

Sorry I didn’t respond earlier, I have been kept from the computer for awhile now.

The slideshow is a third party solution that NextGen uses to give a slick transition to your photos without having to reload the page.

I do know that a jQueary solution (using jQuery Cycle which is easier to syle via CSS) is in the works but I am not sure when that will happen.

Paul

You have a few errors being thrown. Maybe the best course of action would be to deactivate plugins, one at a time testing the site for script errors, to see if it is a plugin conflict. I would start with lightbox first.

Paul

Yeah, I noticed that too. Finding it extremely difficult to spend time on the computer right now but this weekend should be better for that. I’ll let you know.

Ah yes, the true scope of this problem is slowly becoming apparent. And I thought I was getting good ??

I can get the thumbnail resized but then I have to close down the browser and re-open to be able to do it again.

I had forgotten why I had switched to Firefox a while back (Windows 7 had me thinking it was OK again)

Enough for tonight.

Paul

Actually I see that the thumb does get updated if I keep clicking yes to continue with the script.

I wonder if that means that it could be fixed. Or is it a quirkiness of IE Tester.

Paul

Cool!

Still looking to get Recent/Random working with this. Just need some time.
