Two years ago, this plugin was in the WordPress repo, but was no longer being updated. I (@bhubbard) happens to work for a WordPress development company who had many clients using this plugin. At the time I took over supporting it, focusing primarily on improving performance and keeping it up with WordPress, not really adding any features. Since then a lot of changes have happened in the WordPress community. Since I started supporting this plugin, the WordPress builtin Gallery features have improved greatly, and NextGen-Gallery has gone thru some MAJOR CHANGES. On top of that the galleryview.js script is no longer being actively developed on or supported by any developer.
This plugin has the largest number of users for any plugin I have ever worked on, and its been a great learning experience. If any developers are interested in taking over support I encourage you to open a issue on github for the plugin with details on how you would want to improve it and continue support. For users I encourage to look into alternative solutions, as there are MANY slider plugins available. I highly recommend Soliloquy as a WordPress Slider, however since most of you have your image in NextGen-Gallery already then I suggest getting NextGen-Gallery Pro. The NextGen-Gallery Pro offers a Filmstrip gallery which will replicate what GalleryView was currently offering.

]]>Could you take a look at https://pasroofing.com/gallery/ , gallery is broken. I get the following error in Firebug:
TypeError: jQuery(…).galleryView is not a function

WordPress and NextGEN Gallery are up to date.
I am running a custom theme with a custom gallery page template. I can provide gallery page template code if required.
Active plugins include:

NextGEN Gallery by Photocrati

Video Thumbnail Popup Player
I have tried deactivating all plugins except NextGEN Gallery and NextGEN Gallery + NextGEN Galleryview with no luck.
Thanks,

When NextGEN-Galleryview is activated, using a non-galleryview template causes a [Not a valid template] error.
The problem is that the $galleryviewtemplate variable is not set in the add_template function of nggGalleryview.php file when a non-galleryview template is used.
Suggested fix:
// Add our Template
function add_template( $path, $template_name = false) {
if ( preg_match('/^gallery-galleryview(-.+)?$/', $template_name) ) {
// Check theme for template first
if ( file_exists (get_stylesheet_directory() . "/nggallery/$template_name.php")) {
$galleryviewtemplate = get_stylesheet_directory() . "/nggallery/$template_name.php";
}
else {
$galleryviewtemplate = WP_PLUGIN_DIR . '/' . plugin_basename( dirname(__FILE__) ) . '/view/gallery-galleryview.php';
}
} else {
$galleryviewtemplate = $template_name;
}
return $galleryviewtemplate;
}Im currently attempting to adjust my GalleryView for a more responsive design* . However, I cannot currently access this plugin’s options via Gallery (NextGen) > GalleryView. It seems to be linking to a documentation page via https://www.mysite.com/wp-admin/nextgen-galleryview/documentation.php. rather than a settings page. The specific thing Im trying to check settings of is “totalhorizontalmargin” and “totalverticalmargin”.
Can anyone suggest another way I can get to this info. Im using NextGen GalleryView version 1.3.4.

]]>If there is an input item on a page with a slideslow, the slideshow transitions take away the focus, giving the user problems entering text.
(This seems to occur all except Firefox).
My specific problem was that users could not login to my site via the wp-members login widget, entering username and password.
The “Hack” to fix this is basically to detect a click on the inputs and use that to pause the slideslow – so there are no transitions to take away the focus!.
Add the following (in a .js file or within script tags)
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
/* NOTE: to stop slideshow on ANY/ALL inputs on the page, just use:
* jQuery(":input").click( function() { jQuery(".gv_navPause").click(); } );
*/
/* stop slideshow when (wp-members) either login or password inputs get a click (do both in case login is auto-filled) */
if ( jQuery("#username, #password") && jQuery(".gv_navPause") ) { // these elements DO exist!
jQuery("#username, #password").click(function() { //when either get a click
jQuery(".gv_navPause").click(); // click the slideshow Pause
// alert('gv_navPause'); // a test line. If our code is working we get an alert!
});
}
});Hi, In Chrome browser the focus is removed from any <input> element when the gallery slides are changing.
This is a problem on my site as I have a user login imput, but visitors can never complete typing before slide change and focus is lost!
(Does not happen on Firefox for some reason, but Chrome now very popular!)
Any idea how to stop this?
Or even a workaround bit of jscript that I could put around the login <input> to disable whilst user is entering their login name?
Thanks
Hi, I’m trying to use the GalleryView template, but I can’t do it since I don’t use a shortcode to create my album but use the wizard from the visual post editor.
Any idea?
Hi,
I updated wordpress today to 3.8.1 and both plugins :-
Nextgen – 2.0.40
Nextgen Gallery View – 1.3.3
I have this shortcode :- [nggallery id=1 template=”galleryview”]
And i am just getting [Not a Valid Template]. Has anyone else solved this? I have tried the advanced setup also adding gallery-galleryview.php to the folder nggallery in my theme folder but still no luck.
Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers

Hi,
I’m trying to display a gallery of differents size images.
The default option is: panel_scale=’crop’. I want to change it to ‘fit’.
I’ve tryed to create a nggallery folder in my theme folder and copy/edit the gallery-galleryview.php file, but when the site load, none of the modification appears. Looking at the html source code, it is still using the default parameters. I have even try to modify the file wp-content/plugins/nextgen-galleryview2/view/gallery-galleryview.php but nothing happened.
What can i do?
Theme: boot-store
I would love to figure out how to move the caption from appearing below the thumbnails and instead display the caption below the main large image when it is displayed. Does anyone know how to go about this? I am happy to modify the .js or .css file if necessary – just need a little guidance. Thanks!

]]>Hello,
thanks for your great plugin.. I was working on it and wanted to implement my own css and php!
However there is a problem when you override the css and put it in your theme folder.. Your plugin detects that you have another css file however it’s loading the absoluth path of it on the server leading to a 404 error with the new css file.
formercode in nggGalleryview.php
if ( file_exists (get_stylesheet_directory(). "/nggallery/css/galleryview.css")) {
$galleryviewcss = get_stylesheet_directory(). "/nggallery/css/galleryview.css";
}Here is the solution.
if ( file_exists (get_stylesheet_directory(). "/nggallery/css/galleryview.css")) {
$galleryviewcss = get_stylesheet_directory_uri(). "/nggallery/css/galleryview.css";
}The problem was using get_stylesheet_directory() for the css which is returning the absoluth path of the file on the server leading to a 404 error.
maybe you can fix it in your next update ?
Thanks anayway

]]>It’s probably a NextGEN 2.0.30 issue (the switch from 1.x to 2.0 was and still is a pain!!), but the message [not a valid template] is returned with NextGEN-Galleryview 1.3.3 while works nice with 1.3.1

I’m having a problem with the plugin using it on Firefox 10.0.2. First image of the gallery and a filmstrip aren’t loading at all and that’s why I need some help.
link to the site -> https://www.ecrc.pl/test/blog/category/projekty/
choose cogs icon to load post with gallery, works fine on Chrome, Opera and even IE.
thanks in adavnce, Dan.
]]>First, great plugin! However it seems to miss putting in the alt tags for each image on a slideshow. I have been rooting around in the code and was looking at line 621 of where it appears its stepping through the image tags and assigning a src to the img tag in the galleryview output. I changed the line to
.attr({ src: gvImage.src.frame, alt: gvImage.attrs.title });
in an attempt to also add the alt tag but it does not show up in the output HTML. It appears (using the Chrome developer tools) that my code is valid, but without understanding the entire file (yet) I am at a loss. Someone better at JavaScript may be more of a help! I will keep digging around in the code to see if I can figure out how to get the alt tag into the output, but if anyone has a great idea, please let me (and everyone else) know!
I’m using v1.3.1 and have made the following changes from default:
panel_animation: ‘fade’,
panel_scale: ‘crop’,
enable_overlays: false,
show_overlays: false,
show_filmstrip: false,
show_infobar: false,
Thanks!
]]>This is really great plugin.. I hope in the future its possible to change settings via shortcode, like width and height for the panels. So it would be more flexible to use to any gallery.
Thanks
]]>Hi – I’ve got two questions about Galleryview. First, the gallery is appearing in front of my drop down menus, so that the menu disappears behind the gallery and can’t be read. How can I fix this so that it’s not always on top?
Second, how do I go about making the gallery change size when the size of the browser window changes? Ie so that it all stays to scale.
Thanks

]]>Hi,
I am using a theme from Elegant Themes and I cannot find a way for removing featured images from posts. The problem is that when I use GalleryView with NextGen gallery, the gallery is overlapping with the featured image, see below. Any ideas?
]]>I’ve looked at the resolved topic on this subject, as well as the Galleryview page on custom thumbnails, but I am not clear on what needs to be done. I see where to add the code (I think) in gallery-galleryview.php, but I assume that somewhere “thumbnailURL” needs to be defined? Sorry, I’m not a php or javascript expert so I’m a bit dense at this level of detail.
]]>I am using NG-Gallery on a web page with a text input that is used for searching. In other words, there is an area where a user can enter text and then hit the Submit button to do a search.
When I click on the text input and try to enter something, the text input will lose focus when an image changes in the gallery. In other words, if you start typing something into the text input, you will no longer be able to type anything into the text input when an image is rotated in the gallery. You will have to click in the text input again and try to continue to enter the text that you are trying to search on, but then it will lose focus again when the next image is changed in the gallery.
How can I resolve this issue?

]]>I am moving and redesigning my site. On the new site, I’ve updated to the latest version of galleryview, and am having difficulty getting it to match the design of my current site, which uses galleryview v.1.0.1.
I’ve modified gallery-galleryview.php so that the filmstrip is on the top, and am working my way through the css. The problem I’m having is that want the panel overlay to be a permanent part of the design (as you can see at redberetdesign.com/portfolio/branding), not hidden until someone clicks the “i” graphic (as is currently at redberetdesign.wpengine.com/portfolio/branding).
How can I configure v.1.3 so that it matches my design on v.1.0.1?

]]>I’ve been using Galleryview for years for my portfolio. I’ve redesigning my website on a new host, and only wanted to keep a few things from the original, including the configuration of the galleries.
I installed NextGen Gallery and NextGen Galleryview (latest versions) on my new website, and imported the data for the appropriate tables from the old website. All the images and descriptions are there, and the NextGen Gallery Sidebar Widget is working just as it did before.
But the pages where I’m using Galleryview are blank. I looked under the hood, and it appears that somehow the post ID# is being appended to the gallery ID#, but I have no idea how this is happening. So the code I type in is [nggallery id=12 template=galleryview] but when I view source what I see is
<!-- Css to hide gallery unitl loads --></p>
<style>
#ngg-gallery-12-44{display:none;}
</style>
<div id="ngg-gallery-12-44" class="galleryview">
<ul class="ngg-gallery-12-44">44 is the number of the post ID.
I tried appending the 44 in the shortcode, but then I just get an error message instead of a blank page.
The original page is at redberetdesign.com/portfolio/branding.
New page is at redberetdesign.wpengine.com/portfolio/branding.

]]>Hello …
I’ve just started using your great template and love it. One major problem I’m running into, which no doubt stems from my own ignorance, is how to use multiple galleryview galleries where each has different characteristics, e.g., different sizes.
From reading some of the posts here, I get the sense I may have to copy the gallery view.php file and rename it, edit its contents, and then refer to this renamed template when I make a call from a page. But I don’t know if that is a correct understanding or even if it is how I go about doing that.
Sorry to be so naive. Your assistance would certainly be very greatly appreciated.
