   Ok, I truly appreciate this series of articles, they are extremely well thought–out, but – and forgive my ignorance – I still cannot figure out where to put the tags to make the images show up. I have the plugin installed and activated. In the release I downloaded the .swf file was already inside and is uploaded. I have the widgets activated in the side bar – gallery and slideshow. I have an album with a gallery inside of it which contains three images. Gallery ID is 2. Where do I put the tag [gallery=2]? In the html of a new page? That didn’t work for me. And how do I make the sidebar widgets link to any page I might create? I know, I’m missing something simple but I’ve spent two days on it now.

   @Wayne: To clarify, are you adding the gallery shortcode to your page/post content or to your page template PHP file? The only place it will work is in the page/post content, not in the PHP file.

   As for the sidebar widget, you don’t specify a page, you specify a gallery. You can also have it display all images. To specify what to display, click on the “Configure” link for the entry on the Widgets admin page.

   I had tried manually adding the tags to the page/post content but for whatever reason that didn’t work. But as usual I was trying to over complicate it. After I wrote the above, I saw that there is an “add gallery” button on the post/page write page. It worked. Duh.

   I’ll try the widget config and let you know what happened. Thanks.

   Ok, there is no “configure” link on the admin widgets page. On the admin page, I go to the “design” tab. From there, click on the “widgets” link. Then add the “gallery” and “slideshow” widgets to the sidebar. In the sidebar on the front page of the website, the titles, i.e. “slideshow” and “gallery” shows up, but nothing under it. Back to the admin page, there is an “edit” link for the added widget. I add the gallery ID to the gallery widget edit box and save changes, still nothing shows up on the sidebar. It does not specify whether to just add the id number itself, such as “2″ for example, or the entire tag inside of brackets. But I try both and nothing happens. Still just the titles on the sidebar. And for the “slideshow” edit options, there is no place to enter an ID tag anyway on the admin edit page.

   I wouldn’t obsess about this, but my website relies heavily on photographs and I was all excited about not having to send people to Webshots to view albums related to my site.

   If you can tell me what I need to do, I’ll buy you a beer.

   Is it possible to create get a simple list of all tags used through all the galleries?

   Hi- I can get the Next Gen widget working in the sidebar, but I can’t get the title to link to the gallery itself. So the sidebar widget is a dead-end, it’s a little bit of eye-candy but doesn’t provide any way for people to click through to the full gallery. I must be missing something simple as I don’t believe the programmer left out such a link.

   Help please!

   Mike.

   David, is possible to show individual NextGen galleries on the posts and pages of multiple wordpress.org sites?

   I want to install a Hungarian site on a subpage of the English one, and it would be great not having to upload all picture twice. I don’t mind not being able to use the shortcodes, if there is another way of coding that works.

8. David Pottersays:
   June 30th, 2008 at 9:14 pm

   @Kriszta – There isn’t a way within NextGEN, but there is a way with WordPress What I do is host multiple sites on the same set of WordPress files using a multi-blogging solution, which you can check out here:

   Multi-blogging
   Multi-Blogging Update

   Once you’ve done that, all sites hosted that way have access to the same directory structure, so you can point NextGEN for both sites to the same directory containing images.

   David,
   the idea sounds very good, I already checked those pages of yours. But since I am just a talented beginner, I did not get but a fraction of the description. So I was intimidated. I have already worked hard on the English site (realestate.hunreal.com) I want to create the Hungarian version of, and can’t afford to loose it or mess it up. I don’t suppose you would want to set it up on my wordpress installation, but if you would, pls sms me; I would definitely give it a try. Blessings, Kriszta

    Hmmm, what about my question? Is creating a tag list possible?

11. David Pottersays:
    July 1st, 2008 at 11:44 am

    @Krisztina – I could probably help you with that. I’ll send you private email so we can communicate securely.

    @Beth – Oh, right. Sorry about that. I don’t know any way without writing some PHP code. You might ask up on Alex’s forum. He might have an idea.

    @Michael – I haven’t done much with the sidebar widget. If I get a chance I’ll take a look and see what I can find.

    @Wayne – It looks like I need to provide some screenshots to illustrate this better. I’ll see what I can do.

    H David
    Just started with NextGen – top stuff. I think my problem is the same as Michael. when I click on the slide show in the side bar I want it to open the main window. I guess one could ‘hard code’ a link – the link pointer (hand) appears but that only seems to move to the next image.

    Any ideas appreciated. Thanks for the doc!

    Regards

    Nick

    Ok, wp-noob question: i read the post by Wayne Lutz, but it didn’t answered my question. How to add the short codes to a new page? By just pasting for example [ singlepic=1,400,300 ] and viewing this page, will just show me [ singlepic=1,400,300 ], and nothing more. What is the trick? I coudn’t find the option add gallery at the new-page-writing-section.

    Second of all, can you give me a suggestion. I’m making this site of a friend of my, which has (at this moment) 4 gallery’s. I want a page (called photo’s) which show 4 thumbs of the gallery’s, and by clicking on one of them, you’ll see a thumb-page with the photo’s in that gallery. Do I have to make all those different pages? Or what would you suggest?

    Cheers!

14. David Pottersays:
    July 8th, 2008 at 9:20 pm

    @Igor – Originally I added an extra space in the shortcode to avoid having the NextGEN plugin try to interpret it. Based on what you typed in your comment, it looks like you’re including those extra spaces. If you remove those spaces you should get the results you want.

    By the way, all the pages should be fixed now so that they appear correctly. Sorry for the confusion.

    Hi

    I am having some issues with a WP plug-in called Nex Gen Gallery Review that you wrote about here. I am not highly tech savvy. I did manage to upload the plug in and JW Image Rotator. I also successfully created three galleries and have over 150 images in them. I created in the galleries in pages to be located on my sidebar.

    I am able to choose between gallery or slideshow using the [slideshow=1], [gallery=4] type things (maybe called shortcodes) and actually use both on the gallery pages.

    I also am able to add to the footer of my main page (the page I make posts on and the one you see if you go to the site) using this player:

    This div will be replaced

    var s1 = new SWFObject(‘http://www.jeroenwijering.com/embed/player.swf’,'player’,'470′,’350′,’9′,’#ffffff’);
    s1.addParam(‘allowfullscreen’,'true’);
    s1.addParam(‘allowscriptaccess’,'always’);
    s1.addParam(‘wmode’,'opaque’);
    s1.addParam(‘flashvars’,'file=/upload/bunny.vp6&skin=http://skins.longtailvideo.com/kleur.swf&’);
    s1.write(‘preview’);

    It appears and the sample movie of a big rabbit plays.

    My problem is this:

    I would like to have the player on my main page display images from the galleries, or maybe even play videos from online. I have done everything I can think of and that I think I have read on your site, but my knowledge of this stuff is low, though I managed to get this far alone.

    What can I do? Is there some line of code I change? Is there someway I “link” the URL of the gallery page to the player and make it display images? When I try things that worked in the page galleries there it disappears and shows text only, “[slideshow=4]” or something. In the page gallery I only need to enter the “shortcode” and the changes takes place, but that will not work on my main page. I like the player and the gallery, but I would like to play it out front also. It does the same thing in the side bar (which I prefer not to use for this).

    Is there some simple thing I am over looking?

    Bill

16. Billsays:
    July 10th, 2008 at 8:17 am

    I am sorry, here is the complete code for the player. I am using this in my footer,not sidebar, as I the player in the side bar is too small to see really. Is this compatible? I got it from linking from Alex’s site.

    This div will be replaced

    var s1 = new SWFObject(‘http://www.jeroenwijering.com/embed/player.swf’,'player’,'470′,’320′,’9′,’#ffffff’);
    s1.addParam(‘allowfullscreen’,'true’);
    s1.addParam(‘allowscriptaccess’,'always’);
    s1.addParam(‘wmode’,'opaque’);
    s1.addParam(‘flashvars’,'file=/upload/flash.flv&’);
    s1.write(‘preview’);

    I have sincr sort of solved the problem, not the way I had dreamed. I read some of the mail before me and a couple people had similar issues. I found the WP widget folder and dragged it into my sidebar (where the size was adjusted) and added the other widgets I needed and I seem okay for now. It plays images from my album, ALL galleries, which is fine for now.

    Thanks

    Can you help me please

    I’ve installed the software, created a gallery, added it to a page, but there is always a huge gap between the title of the page and any text I add to the page and the nexgen galleys etc below.

    @Bill – Glad you were able to solve your issue.

    @Paul – It looks like a style issue. I’d experiment with the styles on your theme, maybe try other themes to see if the problem goes away. If so, then it is probably a problem with the styles on your theme or the interaction of those styles with the ngg styles. Tracking something like this down usually requires access to the theme styles in addition to the content. Hope that helps.

    Okay, first of all, this has been really helpful. However I’ve run into a problem now. I’ve installed the plugin, and uploaded pictures to various test galleries. In my post options there is a new icon (since I’ve uploaded the plugin) that says “ADD NEXTGEN GALLERY”. When I click that, it copies the short code for respective gallery into my post. When I click “publish”, and view the page, the shortcode is not replaced by the gallery like it’s supposed to, it just remains text in brackets ie: my post, instead of being a gallery is just “[gallery=3]” . I am running Wordpress 2.6.1 and am wondering if a) shortcode is different in this version or b) I need to disable something in order for the galleries to show up. I have tried posting using both visual editor and html. Maybe you have an answer?

    Hi David and all,

    I’m having an IE problem with the slideshow function. I have set the photo size to the same ratio as the default, all the photos in the slideshow gallery were uploaded as a consistent size and ratio (600×450), stretch image is set to false, and my slideshow works perfectly in Firefox. In IE with these settings, the whole photo is pushed to the right and cut off, with a section of the background showing on the left. If I change the stretch image setting to ‘fit,’ the image is both cut off and distorted to fit the screen, even though the image should fit perfectly. It’s as if the resizing isn’t happening correctly in IE. I’ve tried all four stretch image settings, none of them work right in IE.

    Here’s the site: http://www.stjamesucc-love.org. Any ideas as to what’s happening here? Thanks for any help.

25. David Weintraubsays:
    December 4th, 2008 at 2:50 pm

    An update: the slideshow works fine initially in IE7, but breaks as described above if you navigate away from the page and then come back. If you were to visit just the home page the problem would appear to have been fixed.

    This is such a silly question but I’ve been searching the net and I can’t find it.

    What the heck is the sidebar widget? I’m using WP 2.7 and I’ve installed NextGen gallery. The gallery works fine here: http://hostelsantafe.com/?page_id=25

    … but I don’t know where to find the sidebar widget. Do I need to install something else or do I just need the PHP code to add to the sidebar.php file?

    I’m an advanced geek but I’m new to this widget and to WP. So: techspeak should be just fine but specific links or PHP code would be appreciated.

    Thanks!

    i have a slight issue.

    ii use the lightbox effect for the gallery. when i click on some of the images, they expand and take more space than the screen, so i get scrollies, top and bottom. I know this is probly coz of the image resolution etc, but shouldnt the resize option work? it doesnt but i guess im not doing it right.

    the size is fine if i use the thickbox effect, but lets face it, it’s not as exciting as lightbox.

    Thanks for this article, I keep coming back to it for tips! I’m hoping you can help me figure out a thumbnail problem I’m having. I’m trying to figure out the easiest way to get my thumbnails to all appear uniformly. My nextgen album is displayed at http://www.davidharel.com/?page_id=11&preview=true&preview_id=11&preview_nonce=31f12f9ff8 . I’m trying to change the way the main thumbnail appears for the “bridal” gallery. I’d like to shrink the image so that the entire image is visible in the thumbnail. However, when I click on “manage gallery” and click “edit thumbnail” for the image I’m talking about, I get the following error messages:

They are all working fine, but I hate how when you click on an image it takes you to the image path and off the site, for the image browser I would just like to disable this default, but for the sidebar widget it would be fantastic if the images actually linked back to the galleries they are from.

    Well I to have spent some significant time on this. I appreciate that it’s free, however it’s not very intuitive and basically I can’t get it to work.
    My basic problems with this plugin are:
    1 It says gallery, but you can only upload one image at a time. That’s so restrictive it’s untrue.
    2 I simply cannot find how to publish a gallery, an album or a picture in a post.

    I’m sure it works as some people have got it working, but, how I don’t know.
    Maybe There should be a step by step manual for it, from installing, to making an album, to ading a gallery and then a picture, then posting using that picture.
    Just a suggestion.

    @LA bean

    Go to longtail website ( the creators of the core player) there is sample code and an explanation of how to do this.

    @ andreav

    you want to do this with nexgen gallery?

    follow the instructions here on this site of how to install ans setup nexgen.

    my advise to all for adding photos; first set your default folder of where you want your galleries to be stored.

    then go to manage gallery and create your galleries (a folder for each gallery will be created within the default folder you chose above.

    use ftp software to upload your photos to the folder matching the gallery name.

    once done just go to the manage gallery in your admin panel and click the gallery title.

    this takes you to the settings for th at gallery just click the button

    this will load all the images you had place in that folder via ftp into the gallery

    this is by far the easiest way to add images to your gallery if you have to add more than a few.

    As you can see i used tagcloud and gallery shortcodes. The result is not bad but the best for me is to have a filter to show all the galleries (if extended better) of one author per time. Note in my blog every author have more than one gallery.
    Somebody can help me please?

    Hi David,
    Nextgen is great for managing pictures but I am having a problem with sizing the pictures in gallery. The pictures are fine when clicked on but the pictures themselves are three times as large as they are meant to be leading to many very ugly pixels. Is there something simple I am missing?

    Anyone know why it is taking my site a long time for gallery to load? I would like it to load faster.

    Hello. I am trying to use nextgen image flow and cannot seem to get it to work. I am new to this whole thing and love trying to figure things out on my own, but I don’t think it’s going to happen this time without help

    Everything seems to work correctly except that where the image should be displayed, there are question marks. You can flip through the series of question marks, but no pictures unless you click on a question mark and then it displays a large photo. My gallery works correctly when I use [gallery = 1] but [imageflow id="1"] does not. Any suggestions?

    Thanks,
    Brooks

    Hi David,

    As I know, this header can be used to set a slideshow for the header but the problem I’ve got here, I don’t know how to set it up. I can’t find any documentation regarding how to setup the slideshow for the header so can you tech me how…

    Is there a way to limit the number of images in a given shortcode? i.e. ( [ nggtags gallery=mike, "max photos to show"=3] )

    Is it possible to call the img url of the preview image and then display it on the post overview page without using custom fields. What I want is the preview image to show up on the post overview page every time I post a post containing a gallery. Can anybody help me?

    Code for embedding into PHP:

    echo apply_filters(“the_content”,”[nggtags gallery=".$variable."]“);

    I wonder if it’s possible to simply retrieve a list of images for a particular NGG gallery? I have the id of the gallery but I have quite specific requirements for my own gallery front end, which I’m building with jQuery. I’ve hunted high and low for any ngg functions which might do the trick but without any joy. Any pointers you could give me would be fantastic.

    I added a next gen gallery slideshow as a header using these instructions http://www.scotproof.com/inserting-a-nextgen-slideshow-in-your-header/ you can see it on this site http://www.whitelodge.com.sg

    When I install NextGen Gallery as [nggallery id=7] and use the Thickbox effect, the images are much smaller than the size I had specified in the options window (900×600). Can I have them appear larger? Also, in addition to showing the thumbnails in a picture list, it offers the options of a view as slideshow. When I select the slideshow, the image first appears on the left side of a black rectangular stage and then it shifts to the right as the JW Player logo pushes it from the left. Is there a way to avoid this shifting motion? TIA.

    So is there a way to restrict the size of the images so they will appear no larger than 900 x 600, without having to scroll?

    Hi.
    I have installed the sidebar widget and set the amount of thumbs to 4. Within the gallery though, there are over 20 images. If I click on one of the thumbs in the sidebar I only see 1 of 4 images. I want to be able to see all of my images. Am I doing something wrong.

    Obviously I don’t want to have over 20 thumbnails in the sidebar.
    Thanks
