[Plugin: Magic Gallery] Cannot get gallery to display

I am having the same problem, Changed my CHMOD in the ‘cache’ and ‘uploads’ folder to 777.

tried [gallery id="0"]
[gallery id="1"]
[gallery id=0]
[gallery id=1]

like above something comes up in the editor box but no dice in the page.

I’m having the same problem. I don’t even get a box.

Hi there guys, you need to go to the general settings page and hit the save button once.. it should be working then ?? would you be so kind to let me know if this works for you?

I’ve tried a few of the combinations around general settings save changes button but none resulted in success.

Here is what I tried
1. Going to general settings area and pressing save changes button
2. Uninstalling plugin. Tables in the database remained after I deleted the plugin, so I removed them by hand. I then re-installed the plugin and pressed the save changes button again same result.

I got it to work. I had another issue with DOCUMENT_ROOT variable, image.php is using that variable to resolve the path for image locations but in my case entire install is done at a different location. At the moment it only works because I hard coded the path in image.php to directory where all the images are located. Also for anyone else who is having issues you need to issues the following command on (unix/linux/mac os) chmod -R 777 on your magic-gallery directory.

I’ve encountered a few more problems along the way, perhaps they could considered as improvements for next versions.

1. The only way to add an image is by uploading it and it has to be done one by one. It would be nice to be able to upload the images in bulk and also use media library as the source.
2. Is there a way to assign an image to an album once it is uploaded? Is there a way to add a title to an image once it is uploaded (the only way I could see how to do it is via database update)?
3. I had an issue when uploading an image wouldn’t work. I would have to hit upload image button one more time for it to complete.
4. I have a page that contains 15 images across 2 albums for some reasons the top part of the screen goes becomes black after rendering completes. I don’t know what is causing it but I can reproduce it on firefox and safari.

By the demo, it looks like a great plugin. I can’t seem to get it working though. When I add the shortcode to a page/ post, I lose all my button/ navigation functionality! My wordpress is set up like a website…not sure if that has something to do with it. The closet I have come so far, is thumbnails of little black dots:) Could it be that my theme doesn’t support plugins?

I had the same issue. What I discovered is that the plugin doesn’t seem to be setting the album type on the plugin install.

I went to Gallery->General Options and set Gallery Type to Pikachoose and clicked save. Then I reset Gallery Type back to Lightbox and clicked save (this is probably optional, but I wanted Lightbox).

In gallery.php, in gallery_display() function

$options[‘album_type’]

was null.

Might be good to also add a default or error message if it’s not set. And you could change the second IF statement from

if ($options[‘album_type’] == 2) {

to

else if ($options[‘album_type’] == 2) {

since it’s either going to be one or the other.

I followed scriptrunner’s steps and it worked! So following that logic, just hitting the Save button once on the General Options screen would fix this problem.

Thankyou everyone for your help. ??

Hi there,

I’ve incorporated a fix for this issue in the next version of the plugin! Thanks for the suggestions here too, I’ve incorporated scriptrunners suggestion too.
