Hi Frederick,

Still waiting for some support and help with this…

(Colleague of Indi)

The NGG widgets.php has this comment on line 256 of the code:

//TODO:For mixed portrait/landscape it's better to use only the height setting, if widht is 0 or vice versa

When will this be done???

Yep,

1.3.5 NGG and WP 2.8.1 ->>>>> still the same … still no fix …

Hi,
I am having the same problem. No search results with 2.8.1.

I would like to see a fix for this .. Otherwise, it means having to look for another search plugin.. Which is something not preferred at this stage ..

Thx

Sam

Yep,

The problem is still present even in WP 2.8.1 and NGG 1.3.4

Alex,

Can you please give us a fix for this problem? We would like to set the thumbnail sizes to 0 x 0 in the widget and let the natural thumbnails appear.

OR set one of the sizes e.g. width = 90 and the code works out the height automatically.

Thx

I have older version if you need it .. But it works ok on mine… WP 2.8 and WP 2.7.1 sites.

See if this helps:

Change that ‘op_all_cats() function you have in app/options.php to this:

function op_all_cats() {
	$all_cats = get_all_category_ids();
	foreach($all_cats as $key => $value) :
		$all_cats[$key] = get_cat_name($all_cats[$key]);
		$all_cats[$key] = str_replace("&", "&", $all_cats[$key]);
		$all_cats[$key] = str_replace("&","&", $all_cats[$key]);
	endforeach;
	$all_cats['none'] = false;
	return $all_cats;
}

Hope it helps!

Hi,

Now I am on 1.3.1 and still no change ??

Defo need a fix for this ….

Sam

Alex et all,
I have now upgraded to 1.3.0 and the problem is still present. I am on PHP5 and WP 2.7.1

My settings in the thumbnails section are:
Width x Height = 100 x 120
set fix dimension : UNCHECKED
crop square thumbnail : UNCHECKED
thumbnail quality : 100%

This use to work great before by using 0 x 0 settings. But now it does not.

All it needs to be is the same code as you have when you add a gallery to a post. All the thumbnails in the post render correctly.

We need a fix to widget …

I have now upgraded to 1.2.1 and still the same problem ??

Is this fixed? If so, how do you make this work? Has anyone got this working?

Any help appreciated.

Hi Alex et all,

Has this been fixed in 1.2.0 of nextgen?????

I upgraded today and when I set the image size in the widget to 0 x 0 … the result is as before tiny boxes. No change ??

So, how do you make it work?

Sam

Thx Alex,

Will be waiting for this fix very eagerly.

I tried changing widgets.php as per revision 463. I added all the changes as in the revision (line 296, line 394, line 399)

But I got this on the widget control panel error instead of the widget being added:

%BEG_OF_TITLE%
Gallery%END_OF_TITLE%

I realise it is to do with the change on line 394. This causes the above error.

@alexmde – what did u actually change in widgets.php? You said you stripped out “nggGallery::i18n”

Can you paste the code here as you have it? Thx.

So, nothing works for me currently with respect to these changes mentioned by Alex. I hope the fix will be out very soon.

Wow! Over five people having the same problem is a large number of people not happy with the widget issue.

I hope Alex will be able to help us with this. The stretching of the thumbnails makes a lot of photos look very bad.

I’ve tried different sizes for thumbnails in the widget but due to a mix of portrait and landscape photos. There are always some photos not looking good at all.

@alexmde – I did think of that, but you will only have the headache of supporting your changes once another release of NGG comes out.

It is better if Alex can update the widget code for the aspect ratio of the images to be correct e.g a max setting for both height and width, which bypasses the stretching effect.

WordPress 2.7.1
NGG 1.1.0

Problem was with the Search Unleashed plugin.

@ sofieh. Is that all you changed?

@ JLCarneiro – do you have an email? I need to contact you to find out if you still have the same problem.

As I do and this started after upgrading to WP2.7 – it happens in the default theme too ..
