My Lazy gallery is being LAZY

please help me?

Oh and here’s my gallery page. https://leavesofivy.com/WORDPRESS/lazy-index.php

Aww- no one knows how to help? I’ve searched the other posts and none answer my Q….

PLEASE don’t bump threads this fast! If someone knew, they’d have posted. Now no one knows that your thread hasn’t been answered.

Generally, if you don’t get an answer within 24 hours, THEN you are okay to bump the thread.

From what I could tell, you have your pictures in wp-gallery, as the picture links on individual pages link to the right picture if clicked but you are calling img tags for: ./wp-content/plugins/lazy-gallery/lazy-img.php?... so there must be something in what you have in your plugin that is looking somewhere different for the thumbs, not coded right, or something.

I’m not saying that is it for sure, but your pictures are in a folder at the blog root, and your plugin is in the plugins folder. I don’t know what your plugin is like, but the gallery types I’ve used reside pictures in the same place as most of the plugin files, or have a specific config file to put the path to pictures and/or thumbs, etc.

So check into all your plugin files for paths and such that need to be changed.

Just ideas to explore.

Also, I notice your wordpress directory is called “WORDPRESS” rather than “wordpress”.

You should be aware that *.nix server file and directory names are case-sensitive, so that the following represents (to the server) three different files:

myphoto.jpg
MYPHOTO.jpg
MyPhoto.jpg

This goes for directories as well. Just FYI. To save yourself headaches, try to develop the habit of all upper or lower case, and decide what you want to use to break up words, a hyphen or an underscore. And be consistent. Thsi could be one reason your links are broken.

Thankyou for drawing that to my attention- and I have noticed the caps quirk =o) It because when my system downloads a file- it saves in in caps. So I didnt bother to change the folder when I installed the files and now I’m stuck with it.

And to georgianlady:

Thankyou for your advice, but I dont think you realize precisely how cluless I am here. When I look at script it makes my head ache. Its hard enough for me to find the stuff that needs to be edited =o) So I don’t know to check tags or paths. Thankyou for you help though.

What version of lazy-gallery are you using? If you have the newest version then there is an Options for setting up lazy-gallery in WP.

What does the variable $gallery_address look like in the lazy-gallery.php? Mine is:

$gallery_address = '/wordpress/wp-content/albums/';


I have the latest version. And I’m affraid I never noticed a WP option. My adress is
$gallery_address = ‘/WORDPRESS/wp-gallery’; so it should work. When I look at the broken links on the page- the names are the same as the imagees I have in the folder- but the images arent displayed.

I had a similar problem until i changed to version .4++ found at:
https://student.kuleuven.be/~s0164195/lazy-gallery/

Its caching of the tumbnails resolved my no display issue.

Thankyou for the link- What exactly am I supposed to do to upgrade?

alright scratch that. I replaced the files wiht the ones you linked me too and now I can see the thumbnails! But I’m still having troubles, when I click on an image to view it, nothing shows.

And my sidebar doesnt show either. Oh, its so close to working. I just wanna fix these few bugs….

I havent used Lazy Gallery but with my experience with other galleries it sounds as if you need to chmod (permissions) the cache folder(s) to 777. If that wont help then you probably need to check the file path.

thankyou- I did change all of the permissions to 777 so I still dont know whats going on. It brings up a page that looks like it should show this image- but the image isnt there.

alright I think we might have hit paydirt. Looking at your source code you have 2 warnings:

<style type="text/css">
<br />
<b>Warning</b>: main(./wp-content/plugins/lazy-gallery/lazy-style.css): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in <b>/home/kayla/public_html/WORDPRESS/lazy-index.php</b> on line <b>11</b><br />
<br />
<b>Warning</b>: main(): Failed opening './wp-content/plugins/lazy-gallery/lazy-style.css' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php') in <b>/home/kayla/public_html/WORDPRESS/lazy-index.php</b> on line <b>11</b><br />
</style>

Also, when I click your first thumbnail it takes me to the second larger version which does load but just isn’t visible. If I click on the second image it does load the full size pic in a new window as it should. So fix the path to your lazy gallery css file and you should be good to go.
