File Gallery Plugin – Simple Template not working

    Hello!
    I have been using this plugin with much success for a while now, but I recently noticed that any new galleries that I add will not take the structure of the “Simple” template…

    Specifically the simple template places the images into 2 divs: one for the larger current image and one for the thumbnails (which are in a DL I believe)… rather, now when I add a new gallery it places the DL fine, but without a containing div and fails to load the current large image in its container 🙁

    It does however wrap the whole thing in a container div with the class “gallery simple columns_3”

    Could someone please lend me a hand! I am working on this for a client and unfortunetly cannot provide a link but I am using WP version 3.2.1 and the plugin versions 1.6.5.4 AND RC1.7 … I have tried both and they both result in new galleries being displayed with the templating

    thank you in advance to the plugin author for such a sweet plugin and to any and all who might shed light on my predicament!

    Hello Again!
    Just wanted to update you all and let you know that I tracked my problem down to a conflict with a specific plugin on my client’s site: Google Analyticator.

    I tested the File Gallery plugin on a fresh install and all was well – so no problem with the File Gallery plugin 😉

    Then I went back to the client installation and deactivated all plugins – turning them back on one by one until I found the culprit… and after activating Google Analyticator I could no longer create a post using the Simple template in File Gallery – it will instead render without the necessary container div tags.

    I am not sure exactly what is the issue, but for anyone else having a similar problem you might want to check if these two are having a conflict.

    @henryleo::
    the “simple” template depends on javascript, it looks the same as the default template when javascript is off or there was an javascript error.

    if you’re running firefox, please check the error console (ctrl+shift+j on Windows), errors tab, and see if you can find some error associated with javascript files on your site.

    I’ve tested Google Analyticator locally and everything works fine. 😐

    let me know how it goes or if you need any help!

    Hello Aesqe!
    I am indeed running FF and in the error console I have only 1 error and a ton of warnings. The warnings are all missing declarations from the ShareThis plugin I am using… not related

    However the 1 error I do have is coming from the Analyticator plugin: specifically “analyticsFileTypes is not defined” … I am more of a html/php guy so javascript isnt my strong suit, but I did find another thread discussing this very error here: http://ww.wp.xz.cn/support/topic/plugin-google-analyticator-throws-exception-in-wp-31?replies=2

    I am going to attempt the fix mention in that thread and get back here with my results!

    Ok! I got them to play together nicely!

    I did not have to use the hack from the thread I linked previously…

    Rather I went back to the Analyticator plugin settings to see if I could find a reason that is was not defining the File Types. I couldnt find anything specific, but I did change one thing: I set the plugin to not track all users: admin, editor, author, contributor.

    I just logged out and logged back in and verified that File Gallery now uses the Simple template regardless of user role or login status 🙂

    So its seems to have been a javascript error with Google Analyticator stopping File Gallery from properly displaying its template.

    Thank you Aesqe for your help!
