My error logs are filled with this error warning.

PHP Warning: Illegal string offset 'fancybox' in /var/www/vhosts/mydomain.com/httpdocs/wp-content/plugins/photoswipe-for-nextgen-gallery/ngg-photoswipe.php on line 41

In case this might be causing a conflict, I’m also using the NextGEN Gallery Optimizer Pro plugin.

For information :
There are a lot of posts about conflicts between this plugin and other lightbox plugins (fwiw, I use “Lightbox Plus Colorbox”, but this should work with other plugins).
I use the “Plugin Organizer” plugin to decide whether the user agent is mobile or not, and (as a result) whether to load Photoswipe or LB+CB.
So only the relevant plugin is loaded for that user agent.
It seems to work quite well (so far as I can tell).

For information :
I’ve got this plugin working with WordPress’ NextCellent Gallery plugin (not a surprise, really, as it’s forked from NextGen v1).
The only difference is on the options page, which normally appears under NextGen’s admin menu tab.
Changing line 55 of ngg_photoswipe.php from :

add_submenu_page('nextgen-gallery', "Photoswipe", "Photoswipe", 'manage_options', __FILE__, 'nggphotoswipe_options_page');

to :
add_submenu_page('nggallery', "Photoswipe", "Photoswipe", 'manage_options', __FILE__, 'nggphotoswipe_options_page');
will add the options under NextCellent’s “Gallery” admin tab.

I realise the Photoswipe for NextGEN Gallery plugin is no longer being developed. I do however find it very useful even though it does not work properly with the current versions of NextGen Gallery and WordPress. For one thing the plugin administration page does not work and returns an error.

I have noted on this forum that various people have made some fixes Unfortunately the link on the post https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/fixed-black-box-overlay-and-php-error/ does not function.

Does anyone, by any chance, have a copy of the fixed php file?

I have made the modifications in the thread https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/need-to-click-first-to-close-the-fancybox-before-user-can-swip/

but that by itself did not function. I also tried manually altering the database and inserted “fancybox” in the field in ‘additional_viewers’ but that did not help either. Finally I decided to disable fancybox regardless of whether it was found in the ‘additional_viewers’ or not.

I added an extra line of code above the comment “//Add scripts to disable additional viewers:” at about line 40 in the ngg-photoswipe.php file. See below

//Add script to disable fancybox regardless of if it is found in options below (added pdb 05/02/2018):
wp_enqueue_script('ngg-photoswipe-disable-fancybox.js', plugins_url('photoswipe-for-nextgen-gallery/js/ngg-photoswipe-disable-fancybox.js', dirname(__FILE__)),array( 'jquery' ));

That finally seems to have worked. It would be wonderful however to see a properly updated version.

I used to be a programmer but I am now retired, and in any case I have never worked with javascript, so updating this very useful plugin is a bit beyond me. I do wish someone would take it up to bring it up to date. To be honest it does not seem to have major problems.

This is problem, but it works with 4.1.1 full.

Was this ever migrated? Can we have a github address?

Hello Everybody,

Unfortunately I have not found a solution for my problem. On my website, the plugin did not work.

On mobile devices every time a box is loaded without the function to swipe. Looks like the normal fancybox.

Here is a link with a ngg-gallery build in.
https://www.radteam-harsefeld.de/ctf-ueber-die-wingst/

Can somebody help me? thanks a lot

https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/photoswipe-for-nextgen-gallery/

I fixed the shadow box overlay from FancyBox on mobile devices and also fixed the PHP error on the admin page.

since no one seems to be maintaining this i just have the zip file on my site. Photoswipe for NextGen with fixes

fyi: looks like this is using the most current version of photoswipe 3.0.5

if someone figures out how to enable pinch on this let me know and i will update this zip file

https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/photoswipe-for-nextgen-gallery/

Anyone know how to deal with this?

PHP Notice: Undefined variable: useragent in /home/humortimes/public_html/wp-content/plugins/photoswipe-for-nextgen-gallery/ngg-photoswipe.php on line 31

I’m also getting:
We’re sorry, but your theme’s page template didn’t make a call to wp_footer(), which is required by NextGEN Gallery. Please add this call to your page templates.

I’m pretty sure this error notice was injected by ngg-photoswipe, although it doesn’t say. However, the theme I’m using (Suffusion), uses get_footer();

From what I’ve read, the wp_footer() template tag is part of the WordPress Hooks API, and is used primarily by Plugins, to inject scripts in the site HTML footer. So, if it’s used by plugins, why doesn’t NextGEN use it, instead of expecting the theme to?

Thanks!

Hi out there,
I need to know, if it’s possible to implement the “save as…” function. Right click or tap on an image and you can save the picture.
Can anybody help?

The original WP Photoswipe plugin was updated in September last year and still has pinch to zoom functionality. Is there any chance anyone can update this plugin so that it can take advantage of this pinch to zoom that we used to have before Next Gen 2?

https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/photoswipe-for-nextgen-gallery/

Right now, the gallery appears with a gray background (that of the fancybox) it looks like an error. Especially not possible to swip. Only when you click on the overlay, the fancybox is closed only then can make swip the pictures. Should additionally hide the overlay of the fancybox.

Question: Any hints on how I could plug this into Suffusion’s Featured Content slider, to get the home page slider to swipe on mobile devices?

https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/photoswipe-for-nextgen-gallery/

The swipeThreshold:50 in the js is 50 pixels, and yet you have to swipe nearly all the way across on my device (Android) to get to the next slide. If you do a shorter swipe, the image just bounces.

This seems odd, since the threshold is so small. What is causing this behavior? What setting can I change?

Otherwise, an awesome plugin, great solution for mobile browsers to work with NextGen.

Hello! Lovely app, does exactly what I want it to do, and it makes this photoblogger very very happy. It worked perfectly when I first installed it, but now it’s being weird on my Galaxy S4. It works just fine on the ‘Internet’ app, but in the Chrome browser (also native to the device), it has recently stopped functioning. When I click on an image in my album, the photoswipe box opens (so it is recognizing the plugin, and overriding the fancy box feature), but I’m not able to swipe through my photos. The navigation buttons work, so I can tap to advance, but the finger-swipe gesture is not working. My plugin is up to date, as is my chrome browser. What should I do? Thanks!!

Hi, when I use my android device there is a black box in the gallery. There is need to touch the screen for remove the description and the black box. Someone have this problem?

https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/photoswipe-for-nextgen-gallery/

Hi,

I’m the author of the plugin, and -as you may already have noticed- I’ve been quite busy lately.

I’m afraid I don’t have enough spare time to maintain the plugin, so I would gladly release this plugin to become fully open source.

Does anyone know the procedure?

https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/photoswipe-for-nextgen-gallery/

Hello, only on iOS I have these error-messages:

Error 1.) will be displayed always https://bit.ly/1ggqM0R

Error 2.) will be displayed only, if I want to open posts with a jetpack carousel gallery and shows me just these 2 errors: https://cl.ly/image/0k0y3p2S3P0k

Any ideas?

I have the plugin working normally. But when I go to a page to view a gallery some photos will load, maybe 5 or 6 then I start getting a x in the page, I can scroll a little further and I start seeing pictures again. Its not always the same pictures either. Sometimes it will be pic 4 5 6 7 and 8 and dont show and sometime it will be pic 5 9 and 10. This happens in the same gallery.. Please help

Photoswipe is not working for NextGen Pro galleries. Any plans to update the plugin to support this in the near future?

https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/photoswipe-for-nextgen-gallery/

in some cases you will get a nullpointer exception with nextgen and photoswipe.

in line 39-41 of ngg-photoswipe.php
you have

//Add scripts to disable additional viewers:
			$options = get_option( 'additional_viewers' );
			if (1 == $options['fancybox']) {

change it into

//Add scripts to disable additional viewers:
			$options = get_option( 'additional_viewers' );
			if ($options && 1 == $options['fancybox']) {

and in line 97

<?php checked( $options['fancybox'], 1 ); ?>

into

<?php if($options) checked( $options['fancybox'], 1 ); ?>

Hi I have both a singlepic and a gallery to show on my website. They both show with the nextgen gallery “shutter” effect.

But now that I have installed the photoswipe plugin, it’s working fine on mobile devices for my galleries but not for my singlepic images.

What’s more, the singlepic view does not use the “shutter” effect anymore either.

It’s just showing the singlepic in the same browser window, so no swiping or shutter effect.

How can I resolve this?

Thanks

Jimmy

Let me first say, I love this plugin. These days smart phones are almost eliminating the need for a computer for some folks, so being able to view my website and portfolio on a smart phone is critical for me.

However, inevitably, people want a closer look and try to zoom in on my photos, however, it won’t zoom. I noticed that in the title of your plugin page, it says “pinch to zoom” so it seems that it is meant to. I don’t see any option in the setting page to turn this on and off.

I am using an Android operating system to test it running on a Motorola 4GLTE.

If the plugin is not set up to do this, I would like to find out if you have plans to modify it to do this.

Thanks,
Jacob

I installed the latest version of nextgen: 2.0. Photoswipe is not compatible with this version.

It appears that Photoswipe has lost the ability to replace the nextgen 2.0 Ligtbox effects, resulting in both getting activated when clicking on an image thumbnail and displaying on top of each other.

Please fix, as this issue basically renders the plugin useless.

Dear Photoswipe community,
I recently enabled a very effective prettyPhoto lightbox slideshow that launches from a thumbnail as per the excellent instructions on this thread https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/plugin-nextgen-gallery-nextgen-gallery-open-album-in-lightbox?replies=75

However, when I view it on my iPhone it displays
“Fatal error: Call to undefined function ngggetgallery(“
even with Photoswipe for NGGallery installed. In fact, I can’t seem to get this Photoswipe plugin to have any effect. I am using this for my professional site and I would love some advice.

My slideshow is running at this site under the “About” tab.

Thanks in advance!

Hi, Guillermo. Very useful plugin, thanks! Would you mind adding support for the NextGEN Widget as well? It was a simple addition to ngg-photoswipe.js:

if (jQuery(".ngg-widget a").length > 0) {
		jQuery(".ngg-widget a").photoSwipe({
			captionAndToolbarAutoHideDelay: 0,
			getImageCaption: function(el){
				psTitle = jQuery(el).find("img").first().attr("alt");
				psDescription = jQuery(el).attr("title");
				psCaptionString = "<strong>" + psTitle + "</strong>";
				if (psDescription.length > 1) {
					psCaptionString = psCaptionString + '<div class="ps-long-description"><small>' + psDescription + '</small></div>';
				}
				psImgCaption = jQuery(psCaptionString);
				return psImgCaption;
			}
		});
	}

Thanks,
Jeremy

hello,

nice plugin tanks!
there is a little bug with the option -> disable fancybox
the checkbox does not work: dont stay checked when you come back in the option page, and every time you load the page option -> option is reset to false.
solution:
in ngg-photoswipe.php, put the update_option in the if ($_REQUEST[‘nggphotoswipe_enabled’]) on line 73

if ($_REQUEST['nggphotoswipe_enabled']) {
  update_option('nggphotoswipe_enabled',$_REQUEST['nggphotoswipe_enabled']		;
  update_option('additional_viewers',$_REQUEST['additional_viewers']);
}

and i think you can use the wordpress function wp_is_mobile() for detection, so you dont need to update your code -> $isMobile ??

https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/photoswipe-for-nextgen-gallery/

Is it possible to change the code so that the image is not covered up by the navigation buttons and title/description text? I just want those things above or below the image respectively… not overlaying them.

Anyone?

The reason it’s an issue for me is that my descriptions are 4 lines long, often covering half the image.

They are supposed to go away when you tap the image, right? but it takes me four or five taps to get them to disappear… not very user friendly
