Has anyone gotten this to work on 2.9?

Put the file gallery-galleryview.php in the theme’s nggallery directory. Putting the file there solved this kind of problem for me, but I am still figuring this out. Dropping the gallery- from the file name when you use template=galleryview may seem second nature to more experienced users, but it had me stumped for a while.

Got the tag cloud in the sidebar by adding add_filter('widget_text', 'do_shortcode'); to functions.php. The problem is that the results also show in the sidebar. Need to learn more to figure this out.

Got the tag cloud in the sidebar by usingadd_filter('widget_text', 'do_shortcode'); in the function.php file, but now the results are also shown in the sidebar. Back to figuring out functions….

Getting closer . . .The function for the tag cloud is in nggfunctions.php. Looks like it accepts a variable for the template. Now I just have to figure out how to use the function.

Found the image url field in WP eStore.

I’ve been using this for the last few days and the best workflow for me is to set up a directory locally that matches the directory on my website at wp-content/gallery/. . . .

Each directory is a different gallery. I then upload the files (or re-upload them when I add new). Go to Manage Galleries and click Scan Folder for New Images.

Add the short codes to display your galleries on your post or page:

• Use the NextGen Widget in the sidebar
• Use [gallery=1] where 1 is the number of the gallery, see Manage Galleries page for that number
• Use [gallery=1 template=xxxx] where xxxx is the name of a template file in the plug-in directory under view. For instance, gallery-caption.php will show a caption when you enter [gallery=1 template=caption]. Be sure to leave off the “gallery-” part of the file name. This stumped me for a while when I was trying to customize my own layout.

I am using NextGEN with WordPress eStore on my website in various ways. You can view it here.

Go to Manage Galleries. As you scroll over one of your images in the gallery some menus items show up:
View | Meta| Edit Thumb | Rotate | Delete
Choose Edit Thumb. A pop up window will open. Drag and drop to create a square on the full image. You can then adjust the size and move it around as needed.

I’m still new also, but I think if you add a text widget which will wipe all the widgets in the theme. Then when you remove the text widget it will remove the sidebar.
