Problem solved.
In plugin’s settings for FB, if I check “Attach you blogpost”, then the append happens. If I check “Share a link to your blogpost”, then there is no append.

I consider this resolved, but I’d really like to understand why the append happens, and what’s it good for. Anyone can answer that ?

Sorry. Still fails.

Been doing some tests, and here are some things I noticed:
– saving as “pending review” also publishes the post on FB
– if we save draft, then the “post to fb” box gets unchecked. I admin a site with a dozen authors, and they tend to forget to recheck the box. It would probably be better if it stayed checked until it really is posted. But that might me a bit complicated to code. Just thought I mentionned it.
– the Magic Quotes have “post_author”, but that seems to use the username of the author. I suggest having other form of name, like full name, first name, nickname, etc (if etc exists lol). I changed code so that it displays display_name.

Wow…. this is great service!
Thanks for this quick fix. I really appreciate it!

I’m back with more info on what I wish to accomplish…
I’m trying to make a “List of collectibles I own”
Each gallery would contain 4-5 pictures of the collectible.
1 gallery. 1 collectible.

I would like to have a preview image of my gallery.
I would like to be able to choose which preview image I want.
I would like to be able to style the preview image (size and border and such).

I would like to have custom fields shown under this preview image.
Custom fields such as: Date, Price, Manufacturer, Whatever

I would like to click on the preview image, and that would bring me to a page that contains more info about the collectible, the custom fields would be there also, and all thumbnails of the gallery would be there.

Clicking on the thumb would bring the big image up.

Now, what I’ve managed to find:
– $gallery–>previewurl is what gives me the URL for my preview image.
– previewurl works in album.php but not in gallery.php
– custom fields work in gallery.php but not in album.php

So I’m kinda stuck here… ?? Can you help me ?

No, nothing specific… but as a web designer, I appreciate having a complete reference of possibilities… a list of HTML attributes, a list of all CSS and values… a guide to all PHP fonctions and so forth…

Here’s a quick way to explain what I want:
I want my gallery.php template to be inside my album-extend.php template.

I tried to simply copy-paste, but the “for each $images” part gives me an error.

What I’m trying to achieve is mostly to make it easier for someone not familiar with the coding stuff to be able to simply drag and drop the newly made galleries into the album.. and then all will show up on the page just fine.

Right now, the user that will have to work with this must enter the [nggallery] tag… even though it’s not really THAT hard, I want to make it downright easier for him, so that no errors occur.

Hum.. probably… but wouldn’t it be easier to simply list it in the FAQ of the plugin ?!?

Anyway… I’ll try it, and come back here to list it MYSELF so that it can help others ??

Edit: Did it… way to complicated for me (and probably for any novice users. Is there anything simpler ??

I understand that [nggallery id=”1″] could also independantly accept these:
show_slideshow = 0|1
show_piclens = 0|1
name = “enter the name of the gallery here”
title = “enter the title of the gallery here”
description = “enter the description of the gallery here”

But that’s about as far as I can get…
Is there a comprehensive list somewhere ?

Right.

If possible with code change… then what is the code change needed?

Eureka for me… It’s been like 5 hours since I’ve been trying to find a solution for this problème… I too was having the loading icon, with no images…

– Tried putting imagerotator.swf everywhere
– Tried CHMOD imagerotator.php
– Tried mangling with PHP code
– Tried finding answers on forums and FAQ and all…

I did notice that the XML wasn’t created with the images inside it… what to do with that, I don’t have a f’n clue.

So finally, out of desperation, I’ve decided to use the reset thingy.
Searched for the swf again, and now for unknown reasons, it now works!!

I really really was having a hard time, and I really don’t understand AT ALL what was going on… It might work, but I would like to have an explanation of what was wrong.

Same problem as realidan2, danatang and thesandeepgoyal.

From what I can understand, if imagerotator.swf is appearing, but always stuck in the “loading” screen, then that means it cannot find either the XML or the images. So the position in the folder structure as it relates to those files is important………. BUT i long to see someone explain it clearly ??

For me, I have decided to put all my galleries inside a folder named “whatever”, instead of having them accumulate in my website’s root (that’s an option I can change in the NextGEN options). I did try both ways, but still got the loading screen.

I tried diffrent locations for imagerotator.swf, didn’t work either, got the loading screen, nothing more…

How about the creators of NextGEN and/or imagerotator.swf help us clarify this, instead of all of us scratching our heads in vains… ??

I finally managed to find a solution on my own… on a Spanish website! Geez…

This might help someone else, so here’s where I found a hint to help solve:
https://forum.plic-plac.com/index.php?topic=1587.msg6320#msg6320

From what I understood, the plugin tries to create tables in the form of a standard WordPress installation, in which tables are named with the suffix “wp_”.

However, in my case (and probably others), I have multiple Databases and some with other WordPress installations, and so the prefix isn’t the same for all. The prefix for this particular WordPress Database is “mob2_”… and so, the plugin couldn’t create the tables in the form “wp_” and therefor couldn’t find his tables after activating the plugin.

So what I did was to copy the entire CREATE TABLE codes in the link above. Then I went to phphMyAdmin to find my database. In there, I sent out the query. All tables were created successfully. I then renamed the tables changing prefix “wp_” for my own “mob2_”.

After that, my plugin still gave me the error, but all the gallery menu worked. So I deactivated and reactivated the plugin.

Error gone ??

Hope all this is clear and will help someone else!
