The Flash file (imagerotator.swf) which drives the Flash slideshow in NextGEN Gallery’s Basic Slideshow display type had a security vulnerability come to the surface.

Unfortunately the file in question is a 3rd party file, which we do not have control over. In addition, the original developer of the Flash file no longer supports it, so updating the file wasn’t a possibility.

Please update to NextGEN Gallery version 2.0.66.37 or later as soon as possible.

For the full details on this matter please see our article posted here: https://www.nextgen-gallery.com/flash-removed/

We believe we have created a graceful fallback for those users that have chosen to use the flash slideshow option (it should now appear as a standard jQuery slideshow).

If you have any questions or additional concerns please create a new support topic so we can address your specific issue.

Please do not comment on this topic as it is meant as an announcement only.

Thanks!

I would like to implement a slideshow in nextgen. I’ve downloaded jwplayer.flash.swf from https://www.longtailvideo.com/jw-player/ and I’ve uploaded in /wp-content/uploads, however it doesn’t work. Under options/plugin it searches for a file called Imagerotator. I’ve tried to change the file name but it still didn’t work (it keeps loading)

I’ve done following:
1. changed the file name in options/slideshow
2. changed the filename on the server
3. used firefox and ie
4. stored jwplayer.flash.swf under /wp-conten/plugin/Next-gen gallery/
5. changed access rights

but still not working. It displays the pictures allery but does not start the slideshow. Does anybody have an idea?

Thanks for your help

Best regards

I inserted in swfobject.php a single line in the javascript() function (at line 125) before the $this->js .= $this->embedSWF; :

$this->js .= "\n try { this.flashvars.width = this.flashvars.width* (screen.deviceXDPI/96.0); this.flashvars.height = this.flashvars.height* (screen.deviceYDPI/96.0); } catch (e) {};\n";

So the function now is:

function javascript () {

		//Build javascript
		$this->js  = "\nvar " . $this->id  . " = {\n";
		$this->js .= $this->add_js_parameters('params', $this->params) . ",\n";
		$this->js .= $this->add_js_parameters('flashvars', $this->flashvars) . ",\n";
		$this->js .= $this->add_js_parameters('attr', $this->attributes) . ",\n";
		$this->js .= "\tstart : function() {" . "\n\t\t";
		$this->js .= "\n try { this.flashvars.width = this.flashvars.width* (screen.deviceXDPI/96.0); this.flashvars.height = this.flashvars.height* (screen.deviceYDPI/96.0);  } catch (e) {};\n";
		$this->js .= $this->embedSWF;
		$this->js .= "\t}\n}\n";
		$this->js .= $this->id  . '.start();';

		return $this->js;
	}

So now the images are correcty displayed, when I change the zoom level, but only after a refresh or a navigation action.

Is there any better solution?

I followed other closed comments advising to load imagerotator.swf to >uploads directory and specified path under slideshow tab. That invoked the default 000000 screen color which I changed to FFFFFF, but I still get only the endlessly rotating icon, slideshow does not work.

Any suggestions?

I have seen solutions for this elsewhere…ie:

• correcting the path to the imagerotator.swf file.
• making sure the path to file and site are both https://mydomain… not https://www.mydomain…
• various locations to put file
• check and change the chmod
• clear cache..etc

all this and more but still my slideshow is not finding the images in the gallery.

I am running WP 3.0.1 and the latest NextGen Gallery and imagerotator.

here is a page with the slideshow which was working until a couple of weeks ago:

thank you for any help…I am stumped.

I found one example here https://nextgen-gallery.com/slideshow/ Where can I get the captions template file?

It would be great to be able to manipulate the titles and descriptions with css. Possible?

Do I have to do this with a playlist? I had hoped to avoid a playlist so that everything could be done during image upload in the Nextgen Gallery plugin.

Any resources, tips, GREATLY appreciated.

There is e extra page “sildeshow” for these tests.

Die Path to the .swf is correct (an it load) but then die Sildeshow doesn’t load the picktures.

What a already have checked:
– <?php wp_head(); ?> is includes
– Path to .swf is correct
– try using the old imagerotator.swf (without logo)
– XMl-Path is correct

I wonder a little bit about

Does any one have an Idea?

Here more detailed Infos:

JS-Code:

<div class="swfobject" id="so44_1" style="width:320px; height:240px;">
<p>Es wird der <a href="https://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer">Adobe Flash Player</a>  ben?tigt und <a href="https://www.mozilla.com/firefox/">im Browser muss Javascript</a> aktiviert sein..</p>

</div></div>
<script type="text/javascript" defer="defer">
var so44_1 = {
	params : {
		wmode : "opaque",
		allowfullscreen : "true",
		bgcolor : "#000000"},
	flashvars : {
		file : "http%3A%2F%2Fwww.michaelbihn.de%2Findex.php%3Fcallback%3Dimagerotator%26gid%3D44",
		shownavigation : "false",

		width : "320",
		height : "240"},
	attr : {
		styleclass : "slideshow",

	start : function() {
		swfobject.embedSWF("https://michaelbihn.de/wp-content/uploads/imagerotator.swf", "so44_1", "320", "240", "7.0.0", false, this.flashvars, this.params , this.attr );
	}
}
so44_1.start();

XML (seems fine)

/wp-content/plugins/nextgen-gallery/imagerotator/imagerotator.swf

It loads OK, but it won’t pull any images. I checked the XML output generated by imagerotator.php (located in /nextgen-gallery/xml), and it’s also OK, but the Flash player shows all black with the loading icon in the center.

I supposed that the XML output wouldn’t be correctly passed to the Flash rotator, but I tried different options editing nggfunctions.php (I even passed the full URL to a static XML file), and it still won’t work.

I’m using NextGEN 1.4.3 over WPMU 2.9.1.1.

Any ideas?
