Hey mate, hope you are doing well. I was holding off from updating to the latest version because I had done customizations to the previous version that best fitted my environment, so I needed sometime to make sure all my customizations would be able to carry over after update.
However, when I removed my customized version and installed the latest, seems like the script stopped working all together and since my website is live I really can’t afford to keep it down for long, so I am in the process of reverting back to my custom version.
I was wondering if you had some way to do error checking or debugging included with the plugin that I could see what is going on exactly. The symptom I have is that nothing is displayed where images should be. There is no error or nothing, just blank output for the shortcode.
I checked the dirs and there is no error_log either, so I am not sure where to start troubleshooting and decided to ask you how you generally go about debugging errors with this plugin.
Thanks!
]]>Not the biggest deal in the world but an important enhancement is that the scripts should only be added where the shortcode is being used rather than everywhere on the page.
This article explains it better:

Currently, all scripts are being loaded regardless of the shortcode being used or not.
Thanks!
]]>This plugin is great and does mostly what I need. I found a couple of small things that I have manually adjusted and wanted to share:
1) The plugin could break some stuff on your website since it forces a specific version of jquery without respecting if jquery has already been loaded. This can be easily fixed:
Open ssp-director-tools.php file on the main plugin directory and around line 65 add the following:
if(!wp_script_is('jquery')) {
wp_deregister_script( 'jquery' );
wp_register_script( 'jquery', 'https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.6/jquery.min.js');
wp_enqueue_script( 'jquery' );
}Essentially this will enclose the jquery calls on a conditional so that it only loads jquery if its not available from your theme or another plugin.
2) I wanted to bring my images watermarked from the API. This is easily adjusted. Open the file: SSPDT.php within the plugin includes directory. Around line 146 you’ll find: $content->large->url. Simply replace this for: $content->large->watermarked_url and your large images will be requested watermarked.
That could probably be done as a plugin option in the settings but I will leave it for the author to decide on a future update.
Other than that the plugin is awesome and I love it!
Thank you!

]]>I’d like to maintain the order that was set manually within the album i’m displaying.
Is there a way to use that order or must I sort? When I use null as the sort method, it’s still not maintaining the order from within director.

]]>The plugin currently supports the output of SSPADI captions, but not SSPADI titles
SSPDAPI title is ($content->title)
SSPADI caption is ($content->caption)
As a quick solution, I concatenate the SSPD title and caption:
the biggest change needed is around line 140 of SSPDT.php
$title = ($content->title);
$capty = ($content->caption) ? $this->prep($content->caption) : $this->prep($content->iptc->caption);
$title = $title . ' : ' . $capty;working example:

]]>Settings for the opacity in overlay is not working. I can change the color for the overlay but the opacity does not work. I have tried several values without success.
For knowledge:
I did change the syntax error in overlayOpacity as Antonie Potgieter mentioned..
https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/ssp-director-tools/
]]>Good day,
Great plugin!
There is a syntax error in the ‘overlayOpacity’ setting though. The value of the setting needs to be wrapped in double quotes like this: https://screencast.com/t/r39nxRG5Y
Currently the source looks like this: https://screencast.com/t/ytQyERld . Which means that you’re having a decimal value in a comma array and it breaks the code. Wrapping the “0,3” (or whatever the value of the setting) in double-quotes fixes the problem.
All the best,
Antonie

]]>+ thumbnail grid is displayed
+ able to view individual images
but:
– preview and presentation captions configured in the settings page do not work, particularly when custom options from director is used. For eg., if I specify director to override captions on the content, at an album level [to, say, “director: image filename”] – it does not appear in the fancy box display. However, if the caption is specified in the actual content itself, it is picked up properly.
