Issues with 2.0

Another problem is that now the gallery ID numbers are no longer used, when adding images to an existing gallery the list of existing galleries are still in order of ID number and not alphabetically. As I have over 1000 galleries on my site it makes it hard work to find the gallery I’m looking for.

Just tried 2.0.7 and it is still not working:

-Individual styles defined in the theme directory (where they should be!) are no longer working NOT resolved
-External Lightbox effect (jQuery Colorbox plugin) not working Despite the Release Notes, ther is no “No Lightbox” option!
-Permalinks are no longer working in my existing gallery structure Resolved
-A lot of albums have broken preview image thumbnails NOT resolved
-The few non-broken album thumbnails ignore the default dimensions 100×100 defined in the settings. Instead they are 91×68

Again rolling back to pre 2.x version…

@whale74: Just want to address some issues:

*For individual styles, 2.0.7 should be reading them out of your theme directory, but you can also now add them to wp-content/ngg_styles/nggallery.css and they’ll read from there. We are moving from theme folder to wp-content because the theme folder actually isn’t that safe if you a) upgrade your theme or b) change themes.

You can also add your styles directly at Gallery > Other Options > Styles. When you save, a style sheet will be created at the location above. You can then either edit from your admin area or via FTP.

*For the Lightbox effects, we did resolve that and I just checked some instances to confirm. It should be the last item in the list of lightbox options at Gallery > Other Options > Lightbox Effects.

*For broken thumbs for your galleries, can you confirm that you’ve selected thumbnails for those albums? Just go to Gallery > Manage Albums, select the album then click edit and confirm that an image is set as the preview image.

I have no idea on the resized album thumbs. That one’s new and we don’t use settings like 91X68 anywhere. If you can send us a link that would be great. You can also submit it as a bug report: https://www.nextgen-gallery.com/report-bug/

I have a nggallery.css in my (child) theme directory as well as some additional templates, but they keep to be ignored. I also tried to copy them into wp-content/ngg_styles with no change at all.

The option was definitely not in the list.

Yes, and tried to reselect them but with no change. There is also a difference to not selecting an album thumb. In this case it shows only the alt text, the bug leads to a broken image symbol to be displayed in the browser.

I’m pretty sure that I read about this in another support thread. I can’t show you this on my main site (www.longroad.de), because I’ve already rolled back to 1.9.13.
I’ve got another site with a quite fresh install and 2.0.7 running (www.markus-wahl.de). It has got the same issue (and more) but I can’t send you a link either because any link leads back to the start page (even when I hit the save button in the options dialogue) – same as here: https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/bug-also-in-207-reset-all-options-to-default-settings?replies=1.

NGG 2.07 is still a mess and far away from ready for live sites. I’m sorry, but I’m not available for alpha testing.

Good night – off to bed…
