JJ NextGen JQuery Slider plugin won't work with WordPress 3.2

Not sure if this has been covered above, I did have a scan through but couldn’t really see any reference to my issue…

So great plugin and with some minor tweeking I even got the images to open in shadowbox js…nice! buuut…

After the first or second cycle the last image disappears and only 2 are shown with a white space where the 3rd image is meant to be. After 1 or 2 more cycles this is then reduced to only one image and after another 1 or two cycles my carousel is just a white space with arrows each end.

Any suggestions?

I too am having the same problem as Jon Henwood. A few cycles and the missing picture flashes briefly and then disappears. After a while all the images are blank.

Using WP 3.2.1
Plugin 1.1.8
jQuery 1.6.1

Happens in both
— Google Chrome 12.0.742.112
— Firefox 5.0

shortcode = [jj-ngg-jquery-carousel html_id=”frontpage-carousel” gallery=”8″ width=”200″ height=”150″ visible=”4″ scroll=”4″ auto=”5″ gap=”18″]

Any suggestions?

Hi

I have the same problem as frangokid – almost.

If I only have one image then it doe not appear if I add a url to the alt. If I have more than one picture than as long as I have one image without an url then the slider appears and links ok with the other images.

If I have url on all the images then it does not appear.

Not surewhy so any help greatly appreaciated as this is deffinately one of the best nivo sliders there is.

thanks
Kevin

@jon

would you mind sharing some info on getting the images to open in shadowbox? i’ve been trying to figure this out all day and could use some help. i can’t figure out where to put the shortcode or the rel=”shadowbox” mark up.

It was a little while since I did it so I little fuzzy on it bit heres the process I think…

In NextGen Gallery options go to “Effects” tab and select “custom” for the JavaScript Thumbnail Effect. Then paste this into the box below – rel=”shadowbox[%GALLERY_NAME%]”

Then go to your “Manage Gallery” in Next Gen Gallery and select the gallery you are using for your slider. On the page showing all your gallery thumbnails in the 3rd column (“Alt&Title Text/Description”), in the single line field box (top of the 2 boxes) enter the full url to the normal size version of the image (https://www.youraddress.com/wp-content/gallery/gallery-title/image.jpg for example)

adjust your Shadowbox settings accordingly and it should work. A way to test is if shadowbox is activated the image should open in a lightbox kinda way. If Shadowbox is deactivated the image will open on a new page in the top left corner…well I have just checked it now and that is what happened when I deactivated SB.

As far as I remember I didnt make any adjustments to the carousel plugin files.

Hope that helps

@frangokid, @kevin heath

I had the same problem and fixed it adding width and height to both div containers of the slider. This can be of use only if you know the dimentions, of course, so it’s a limited solution. The real problem is that nivo.slider js won’t set the dimetions of container if the first image in set has a link in the alt field, but I couldn’t fugure out why yet

@holzweg

Please tell where did you add height and width to the div?
Did you mean “.nivo_slider_container” ?
How did you fix this problem?

Cause i fail to fix it.
pplease, help

hi 2broken2

It’s not the div you need to set the size for but the shortcode so it should look like;

[jj-ngg-jquery-slider gallery=”1″ controlnav=”false” effect=”fade” width=”1000″ height=”220″]

if you set the dimensions in the shortcode then the links should work ok.

Kevin, thank you so so much!
It works fine now.
