[Plugin: NextGEN Gallery] Related Images breaks in NGGallery Beta 1.1.0b

  • The new beta release of NexGEN Gallery has fixed an issue with links embedded in the Description Feld breaking the display of images displayed with the [singlepic=id] tag. However, there seems to be a new related issue that has surfaced.

    If the Related Images function is turned on under NexGEN Gallery Options, the display of the Related Images thumbnail strip is diaplaying the code generated by the Description field next to the thumbnails–much the same way it had with the [singlepic] error.

    Unfortunately, the problem isn’t consistent, and I’ve not yet discovered a common elemet with the posts where it’s breaking and those where it is not. I thought I should post about it here to see if anyone else is having similar issues.

    I’ve installed the nexgen-gallery v.1.1.0b Beta release on a demo blog I use for testing. You can see a sample of the broken thumbnail strip here at:

    And one that is working normally at:
    https://www.freshstartcreative.com/preview/2008/07/14/dome-lidded-pint-tankard/

    A bunch of the posts have the problem and then others do not. I’ll keep trying to find where the common thread is.

    I think I’ve figured out the common thread now… After installing the 1.1.0b beta release of NexGEN, I found that I had to go into each gallery and save a change there. Otherwise the hyperlinks would display as code rather than as a functioning link. Somehow that seems to update the database for that gallery and all the images in it.

    When I posted this topic initially, I had only saved changes to one of the galleries. When I went back in and saved changes in each gallery, I saw that the display issue with the Related Images thumbnail strips became consistent throughout the site. I was actually hoping that doing that might actually fix the problem, but it had the opposite effect.

    So it would seem that having hyperlink code in the description field is causing the same sort of problem with the Related Images now. Hopefully that might suggest to Alex the nature of the problem and where the fix should go.

    I’ve posted more about the problems with the hyperlinks in Description Field in an earlier, related topic here.

    Hi I am having issue now, I am unable to create a row of thumbs that are link without it pulling a load of description into the displayed thumb table – how did you resolve your issue, would you be prepared to give me some more information

    Hello, I’m having the same problem with the description in ‘Related images’ function on my posts – hyperlinks are not showing correctly. I tried to ‘restart’ my galleries, like you suggested, but the problem remained…

    I’m using the latest version of the plugin: 1.3.5.

    Does anybody have a solution for this problem?

    Otherwise, the plugin is one of the best I’ve every used…
