[Plugin: Cool Video Gallery] Unable to show video gallery and single video on page

Never mind, I’m going to delete the plugin. This whole WordPress wait for the forum answers is garbage. I don’t have time to fart around. And WordPress is for the birds. There’s more time wasted trying to figure out cryptic instructions to put the stupid thing together, that you have no time to write your blog. It’s a huge FARCE.

@Loncey Craig

Why don’t you just use the short code like in your post/page.

[cvg-gallery galleryId='gid' /]

Also an edited way of your code will be

<?php echo "[cvg-gallery galleryId='" . $video . "' /]"; ?>

Thanks

@audentes

There is option to set width and height of preview image of your videos. See the screenshots at https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/cool-video-gallery/screenshots/

Hey Praveen,
I’m using pods CMS. So I was trying to display the content through that. That’s why when I use the [cvg-gallery galleryId=’gid’ /] it doesn’t work cause I’m not using post or pages. What I’m trying to display is on this page… https://sidliufau.com/projects.. So if you have a look at it, where projects is I have to link buttons one for Video and another for Photos. The photos I’m using nextgen gallery and the short code to display the item is this…

<?php echo do_shortcode(“[nggallery id = $gallery]”); ?>

Where $gallery is the id for gallery in database and this works fine when you click on photos it’s displaying all the photos I have in that gallery.

I’m trying to do this same method with your Cool video gallery. SO that when I click on Video it pops up showing the list of thumbnails for each video in the gallery. I tried both your codes, none seem to work.

Any Ideas?

Loncey

@audentes, sorry yeah suppose to put that code in your css style sheet.

Hi Loncey Craig,

This plugin doesn’t have anything to do with nextGen gallery and so its shortcode features are not supported in this. Please see the point 6 in https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/cool-video-gallery/installation/

Thanks

Hey Praveen, So can you point me on how I would use this cvgShowCaseWidget for a custom template please?

I’ve put it like this, but it’s not working.
<?php echo (“cvgShowCaseWidget(gid = $videos, limit)”); ?>

I’m still pretty new to Php and still trying to get my head around the coding.

Loncey

Hi Loncey,

Just use this <?php cvgShowCaseWidget($videos, 10); ?> where $videos is your gallery id and 10 is the limit to show the no of videos in a gallery.

Thanks
Praveen Rajan

Thanks for that Praveen Rajan, That worked ??

Hey Praveen.
Does your plugin have Editor roles? I see it only has admin, are you able to add editor role to it please?

Thanks
Loncey

Hey Praveen, Is there a way that I can add an editor role so that the user has access to the video gallery please?

Loncey

Hi Loncey,

Please find manage_options in every php file of the plugin and try to replace it with edit_pages. I suppose it should work then.

Thanks
Praveen Rajan

Thanks ??

i have tried a TON of video options. ( paid & free; vimeo, cincopa, tubepress, display buddy, etc. )

this one ( CVG ) could be the BEST if some of the small bugs were fixed, and it was more intuitive to use.

as of today, i can’t manually upload thumbnails and i can’t delete video from a gallery.

any pointers on how to deal with these issues?

I am running latest wordpress 3.3.1

fyi….I just installed ‘ultimate tiny mce’. it helped ALOT.

thx for your great help to all.
