Errors referencing MVC Template?

I have a lot of problems after 2.0 installing.
https://www.nextgen-gallery.com isn’t working and i can’t get the downgrage instructions ??

@tullemomsemor: Can you check if the errors specifically says “is not a valid MVC template”? If so, the fix linked above should resolve it for you. If it’s different, can you please submit a bug report, and if you are open to doing so, include login credentials (ideally WP and FTP). We’ll look into it directly.

@Greensneak: Download instructions are currently available at: https://www.nextgen-gallery.com/how-to-rollback-a-version/

If you are posting in this forum and getting the same error, again, a fix is available at the link above.

If you are getting a different error and want more troubleshooting, can you post in a separate thread?

Receiving the following message after downloading your plugin and attempting to go into any of its options.

RuntimeException thrown

/home/content/o/z/ozzyr/html/testing/wp-content/plugins/nextgen-gallery/products/photocrati_nextgen/modules/nextgen_basic_album/templates/nextgen_basic_album_gallery_display_type.php is not a valid MVC template

Can you please advise at soonest? Many thanks.

@testcuclear: There’s a fix available for this. It will be in the next official release but if you would like to upload the fix sooner, you can update to our latest beta that we’ve made available here:

https://www.nextgen-gallery.com/nextgen-gallery-latest-beta

There’s information about what’s included and how to update on that page.

Thanks,

The beta 2.0.2 doesn’t show the error about ‘MVC Template’ but when clicking on an image, it doesn’t show, it’s like it’s invisible. Background do fade but that’s it.

I rollback to 1.9.13 and it’s all good, will wait.

@zurd – Good to hear it resolved the MVC Template, sorry to hear about the lightbox not working correctly. If anyone else experiences that, I’m wondering if any of you wouldn’t mind temporarily deactivating all plugins (including NextGEN) and then clear your browser cache and reactivate NextGEN Gallery only. Does that help? If not, would you also mind temporarily switching to a WP Default Theme like Twenty Thirteen and see if that helps? I know this is an inconvenience, we’re very sorry. But it would help us diagnose if this error may be a plugin/theme incompatibility.

Thanks!

Hello,
I have installed your beta. But somethings are not working.
Seems that the url paths are wrong from Backend

like: https://mydomain.de//is/htdocs/wp11213867_3CUWPC1JCW/www/myWeb/wp-content/plugins/nextgen-gallery/products/photocrati_nextgen/modules/nextgen_basic_gallery/static/slideshow_preview.jpg

when I change this Path with my firebug to: https://mydomain.de/wp-content/plugins/nextgen-gallery/products/photocrati_nextgen/modules/nextgen_basic_gallery/static/slideshow_preview.jpg
then the image is shown.

So why this wrong path “/is/htdocs/wp11213867_3CUWPC1JCW/www/myWeb”

Its same for CSS-files.

Please Help

@usmano – Would you mind creating a new forum thread with this error? This appears to be a different one than this thread topic addresses (Errors referencing MVC Template?).

Thanks!

Looks like this issue still exists with 2.0.11:
/Users/matt/web/example.com/html/wp/wp-content/plugins/nextgen-gallery/products/photocrati_nextgen/modules/nextgen_addgallery_page/templates/upload_images.php is not a valid MVC template

The file’s looking for the plugin in the WordPress directory (wp) instead of in the defined wp-content directory. The file exists without the ‘wp’ in the path.

I’m guessing it’s because of non-standard WP_CONTENT directory location.

define(“WP_HOME”, ‘https://www.example.com’);
define(“WP_SITEURL”, ‘https://www.example.com/wp’);
define(“WP_CONTENT_URL”, WP_HOME.’/wp-content’);
define(“WP_CONTENT_DIR”, dirname(__FILE__) . ‘/’. ‘wp-content’);

Site structure is as follows:
{webroot}/wp == WordPress files
{webroot}/wp-content == custom wp-content directory (as defined by WP_CONTENT_DIR constant)

Environment:
PHP 5.3.25
Apache/2.2.22 (Unix)
WP 3.6

Hope that helps!

Oh, and it had been working previously in 1.9.13. Thanks!

Photocrati, I just transferred a testing website from one domain to a different live domain. All is well with the entire transfer except that the gallery is not appearing on the pages I have them on and I’m getting an error “on those pages” that is reading [Not a Valid Template]. All settings from the testing site are identical to those on the new live site. All images were transferred successfully as well and did verify that the galleries still exist. I deactivated and reactivated the plugin, but no joy. Can you assist by shedding some light. Thanks.

For a WordPress install on a cPanel host with the wp-content directory located elsewhere, I solved this by removing line 242 ($fs->get_document_root(),) of class.mvc_view.php, so that the $retval assignment is:

$retval = $fs->join_paths(
	$this->object->get_registry()->get_module_dir($module),
	$settings->mvc_template_dirname,
	$path
   );

Getting a “not a valid template” on album attach to post code using both extended and compact. I’ve tried various settings and can’t get it to work.

Still got issue with nextgen plugin – Error “not a valid templete”. Went back to 2.27, now upgraded to 2.33, but still not working. Where can I get help with what should be in the settings? Thank you

Adding to this that version 2.0.40 is giving me the “not a valid template” error. Also, bringing attention to the fact that like @avocado said above, my WP install has wp-content` in a non-standard location that could very likely be the problem.
