I am running NGG 1.9.13 on Wp 3.5.2 at the moment I don’t believe that moving to NGG 2.0 would in anyway affect this issue.

The page reference I meant to include above was https://subeeart.x10host.com/wp/?page_id=144

Thanks for the explanation!
This is good general advice about file names which I usually follow, however I can’t babysit my clients when it comes to naming their files, although I can give them written instructions to follow.

What you have told me does make sense of how the problem originated as I was using another gallery plugin before I installed NGG which was used to upload images to the media library.

Given that I am developing a site for a client who will be responsible for uploading her own files, which will usually consist of photographs or scans of “named” art work, this actually becomes a good selling point for your add-on. She can be taught to use the normal media library upload and use your addon to add images to NGG galleries.

Thanks again.

There isn’t a solution in the other link yet but I thought you could monitor both. If you click on the “number of images in one page” tag in this thread you should see the other. I just added the tag so you don’t have to search for it. Wish I had an answer for you and hope someone else does soon.

Hmm – I guess there may be a problem – how many images actually fit on your page. There is another link that I have tagged with “number of images on one page” which may be related.
Perhaps there is a hard limit of 50 somewhere in the code.

Hi I don’t have an answer but I have added a tag as there is another topic which may be related.

Sorry – taking a further look at things it is possible the problem is with the Media Library or even the database. I added some more files, with spaces in the names, to the media library and then transferred them to NextGen galleries using the add-on with no trouble.

When I look at the previous offending files in the media library they are already “attached” to some galleries that have been deleted, and they have no editable file name. It is still a little mysterious since two files (without spaces) that transferred successfully also appear to have no editable file name.

I shall leave this unresolved for a few days in case others have similar issues and continue to add files to the media library and transfer them to see if the error reoccurs. In addition I will see if there are any issues with the media library that reflect this problem.

I have found the default Basic Slideshow is almost what I am looking for with thumbnails set to show first in gallery options and integrate slideshow unticked so there is no temptation for users to open the slideshow in a new page.
Don’t know if this helps.
I also set my Image Settings to 960×960 (which is the maximum image size I want). In one of my galleries I have a landscape scene which is only 640×427 in actual size so that is the size the slideshow displays. I also have a portrait image which is 872×1226 so i believe it is displaying at 682×960 (maintaining aspect ratio). I deliberately created this strange image size to see first if I could have the thumbnail display in proper proportion (Options Thumbnails set as 100×100 with ignore aspect ratio unticked) and that worked, then secondly to make my images display as large as possible in the slideshow.
There is not fancy transition effect or bordering of the images in the slideshow but I suspect making changes in the style css may produce different effects.

In gallery settings under options where the max number of images figure shown is 20 it says, to the right of the 20, that 0 removes pagination to show all images on the one page. Have you tried 0 – I’m also preparing a site for an artist but, as yet don’t have more than a few images loaded so I haven’t tried it myself.

I’m new to NextGen galleries too and would like this answered too. I was using the Gallery plugin which uses fancybox and at least displays the lightbox images although not at full screen. I thoiught I would try NextGen as it seemed to promise lightbox and another feature I needed.
Is it possible that we need to install a lightbox plugin of some sort too for this to work?

paulwpxp thanks so much for your support and input.
At the moment I have tried my second thought and replaced get_template_part( ‘content’, page’) with the_content() in my custom template as outlined above. The whole code including custom css and js files now seems to be working as I envisaged (and as reflected in the demonstration supplied in the tutorial.
This exercise has been a great learning experience for me, including maintaining the core integrity and good practice.
Cheers and thanks again,

Paul

Ah no!
Further thought about this says that including the code in content-page.php will place it in every page that references content-page.php, which is not what is wanted. So for this particular template I should probably replace the
<?php get_template_part( 'content', 'page' ); ?> with
<?php the_content(); ?> in my custom template and follow it with the code provided in the tutorial: having read in another thread that I should retain the loop even though the page will not contain any posts (as I understand them).

Given that I am using the child theme and a custom template I can at least try this and , if it doesn’t work, scrap the template and try again.

Thanks for that.
I am learning slowly: so “my” logic says the code to be included “below” the_content() should be placed in the content-page.php rather than below the call in my new template file. In so doing , to preserve core integrity and my child theme variations I should include the modified content-page.php only in my child theme.
Is my thinking correct?

Thanks I will have a go.
I made a static front page on one of my other sites but within the theme I was using so it has header, footer, side bar etc.
I think I need to create a custom template so that (apart from the php header) I can build the page in pure HTML and hard code the links to the remainder of the site.

I had tried to create a basic index.html page in the root of my site (WordPress is installed in its own subdirectory) but for some reason I cannot reference graphics I have placed in another (non-Wordpress) directory.

As I indicated in another thread this is similar to functionality I am looking for.
I am using Buddypress too which may complicate things but, it would be nice to know where the basic content can be altered.
In my case it would not even be necessary to include HTML content in the email – just nice to be able to change even the plain text and progress from there.

Hi, this was the functionality I was looking for too.
I would like to be more polite and encouraging with the initial email contact but cannot find where to alter it.
