    I understand that this question pertains to a plugin that is not maintained by Photocrati, but I know that this is the forum with the expertise to help resolve my problem.

    I have been maintaining a working version of the Nextgen Gallery Search Engine up to version 2.0.66.37 of Nextgen Gallery.

    The new release of Nextgen Gallery, version 2.0.71, breaks the search engine functionality. The search page simply returns “We cannot display this gallery.”

    Here is the code that works with version 2.0.66.37 of Nextgen Gallery.

    Here is the code that is inserted into my search form.

    How can I get this plugin functionality working again?

    I appreciate any help that can be offered.

    I have the same problem. The search function was working perfectly fine and now I get the same message.

    This is extra amusing because I had finally fixed it just a few weeks ago and my users were so happy to see it again.

    Any help that we can get on this would be greatly appreciated.

    I don’t think I can make Alex Rabe’s plugin work again too easily, but the following code should work. It’s a little hackish and will require some customization, but this works for me:

    global $nggdb;
$images = $nggdb->search_for_images('Boeing');
$image_ids = array();
foreach($images as $image) {
    $image_ids[] = $image->{$image->id_field};
}
$image_ids = implode(',', $image_ids);
$renderer = C_Displayed_Gallery_Renderer::get_instance();
$output = $renderer->display_images(array(
    'source' => 'images',
    'image_ids' => $image_ids,
    'display_type' => 'photocrati-nextgen_basic_thumbnails'
));
echo $output;

    Thanks for the code snippet suggestion. It is much appreciated.

    I have tried to work with it, but it keeps triggering a fatal error.

    Thanks again.

    Can you tell me what that error is?

    Thanks for checking in on this issue. However, I have abandoned this plugin and hired a developer to properly coded one.

    Hello,

    Do we have a solution or a fix for an NGG search (at least keyword search) yet?

    Please advise.

    Thank you,

    Yes, I was able to get a plugin written to suit my need. There was too much that changed in NGG version 2.0.71 to patch the version that has been used for so many years.

    The programmer that helped me can be reached here

    Thanks, I see he is charging $69 for the code…I sure hope he continues to develop the plugin for a couple of years at that price. I appreciate your quick reply.
