In reply to: [nggallery] No effects after upgrade to WP2.8Hi,
Yup, I’ve got the same problem. Just upgraded to 2.8.4 from 2.7, and my effects have disappeared.
Any ideas?
It must be quite frustrating making good plugins. You create something novel and great, and then have to spend time updating it constantly just to ensure that it will still work with each new release of the core software. You have my sympathies.

In reply to: Adminimize died – Invalid argument supplied for foreach()OK, getting somewhere.
I installed an older version 1.6.5.
Then managed to access Adminimize / deinstall options.Then deleted the old files and reinstalled 1.6.7.
It all seems to work fine.Basically it needed to be deinstalled properly from the dbase, something I couldn’t do with the existing version. And I didn’t know which dbase entries to modify.
Seems to have fixed it.

In reply to: [Plugin: NextGEN Gallery] Discription Text Not Showing below ThumbsHi goodenvy,
Yes, well written article, if you’re a newbie, however it doesn’t help me get any closer to resolving the fact that my descriptions have strangely disappeared, when they’ve been up and running, on WordPress 2.6 and 2.7. 😉
Since I haven’t updated anything, added any plugins or changed any core nggallery code, I’m baffled where they’ve gone.

In reply to: [Plugin: NextGEN Gallery] Discription Text Not Showing below ThumbsThanks for the advice…. but no, I haven’t touched any of the core files. Any changes I made were to the CSS files.
I’ve not quite sure what you are saying, but I’ve gone in, deleted the alttxt for some images, and there’s still no description showing.
But thanks for the idea

In reply to: [Plugin: NextGEN Gallery] Discription Text Not Showing below ThumbsOK, I’ve tried my above idea and it doesn’t work. Although I’m not surprised, given that I’m mixing bits of code from different releases.
I got hold of 1.1.0b (from Google Code, doh!) and took out the new gallery templates. I’ve installed these on my current 1.0.2 install and rejigged the info in my posts. And no it still doesn’t show descriptive text.
Checking the HTML, it appears that the new template is working, its added some <span></span> tags where the descriptive text ought to go, which does correspond with the new template, but there’s nothing actual data in there.
I’m loathe to update my base working copy of nggallery right now, so will have to wait.

In reply to: [Plugin: NextGEN Gallery] Discription Text Not Showing below ThumbsHi,
Where did you get 1.1.0b from?
I’m using the latest version 1.0.2 from:
http://ww.wp.xz.cn/extend/plugins/nextgen-gallery/According to http://nextgen.boelinger.com/templates/
Templates were introduced in version 1.0, so my version ought to be able to support them.I was hoping to just get hold of the new caption.php gallery template and see if I can plug it into 1.0.2
I can’t think of anything else to do. Clearly version 1.0.2 seems to have mucked up the old shadoweffect with description text css way of styling the output.

In reply to: [Plugin: NextGEN Gallery] huge whitespace above galleryI seem to have lost my original files, and haven’t got anything to do a file comparison with.
I seem to remeber I removed the clear:both from line 106:
.ngg-galleryoverview {
margin-top: 10px;
width: 100%;
/*clear:both;*/
display:block !important;
}I think that’s how I solved it.

In reply to: [Plugin: NextGEN Gallery] Storing images outside wp-content/galleryHi Frisco,
Its OK, I hadn’t taken your info literally, I’d spotted the missing .com.
Your next bit of advice is really helpful. I hadn’t worked that out. Tried removing the path from NGG Options and it installed gallery stuff in the root directory of my wordpress install.
Its a shame I can’t escape this and move up even further using ../../ but that doesn[t work.
Looks like I shall have to delve in the plugin code. Oh dear.
By the way, the reason I want to do this is that I’m sharing one set of data between 2 wordpress installs. Each of these is password protected using htaccess. Therefore I need to move my images outside the password protected areas so that users of each wordpress install don’t get asked for yet another password.

In reply to: Changing custom fields from the front end?That’s very helpful. I couldn’t have worked that out on my own. I’ll build something based on your code snippet this weekend. Its kind of pushing the limits of my wordpress knowledge, but fingers crossed.
Many thanks

In reply to: [Plugin: NextGEN Gallery] Storing images outside wp-content/galleryThanks for the ideas, however they’re not going to work.
Frisco – I need my gallery files to be stored outside the wordpress root, so your 1st suggestion won’t work. Security isn’t a huge issue.
I did try your next idea, (http://www.domainname/storage-area), in fact I can’t think why I hadn’t thought of it myself. Anyway, it doesn’t work. Yes, the files appear and it all seems to work, but the images aren’t actually in my storage aread. What it did do was create the following directories in my wordpress install.
http://www.domainname.com/wordpress/http:/www.domainname/storage-area/gallery
I’ve a suspicion that its not something that can be done easily.
Thanks for your help

In reply to: Changing custom fields from the front end?Hiya, Thanks for the ideas.
@churchthemer – The post would be highlighted for ALL visitors.
@dgold – Your suggestion for vote-it-up is helpful. That plugin does all sorts of complicated things, but deep down its taking interaction from the visitor and using it to amend an entry in a table. Which is exactly what I’m looking to do. I’ll have a go at dissecting it later today.

In reply to: [Plugin: NextGEN Gallery] huge whitespace above galleryMark,
I had the same problem, which I resolved weeks ago, and which I have now forgotten how to fix on a new install. Doh!
The problem lies within the gallery stylesheet which you have selected. You need to add a clear: both somewhere.
I realise that this is THE most unhelpful response you could have asked for, but it may be better than nothing given that this thread is currently unresolved.
If you can get in contact with me,I’ll send you my working css, which you can just drop in and it should work fine.
Regards
Jonathan
