[Plugin: NextGEN Gallery .95] Interface changed from previous

  • Some issues with the latest NextGen Gallery

    1) when using the gallery to add images to a post there are no thumbnails visible to let you know which image you are selecting, requiring that you know the names of all the files you have in the gallery, previous version showed the image and image name making it very easy for image selection in large galleries
    2) when adding the image to a post the code linking the thumbnail to the larger image is automatically included, the previous version allowed you to specify if the link was to be added or just the image, this was a very useful option

    it may be that these features are still available and i have just not put itn the proper settings, but i cant seem to find anyhting that would provide this fucntionality.

    NextGen is still a wonderful product.

  • From which previous version are you speaking ? Or do you mean you updated from 2.3 to 2.5 and lost this features ?

    no the upgrade form a previous version of NextGen, thanks for the quick response.

    I have traced the issue to IE, in FF the functionality and the thumbnail are there but IE returns an error when clicking “Show” (IE7), I will test on other browsers, but the person i am making the site for will most likely be using IE

    …Works in Safari (windows) but not opera
    From the Opera error console

    JavaScript – https://siteAddress/wp-admin/media-upload.php?type=image&tab=nextgen&post_id=-1210341808&select_gal=1
    Event thread: DOMContentLoaded
    Error:
    name: ReferenceError
    message: Statement on line 6: Reference to undefined variable: prepareMediaItem
    Backtrace:
    Line 6 of inline#5 script in https://siteAddress/wp-admin/media-upload.php?type=image&tab=nextgen&post_id=-1210341808&select_gal=1
    prepareMediaItem({id : this.id.replace(/[^0-9]/g, “”)}, “”);
    Line 1 of eval script
    if (b)
    else
    return c;
    Line 1 of eval script
    return E.each(this, a, b);
    Line 6 of inline#5 script in https://siteAddress/wp-admin/media-upload.php?type=image&tab=nextgen&post_id=-1210341808&select_gal=1

    So you are talking about the media upload in WP2.5 ?

    mhh, it should be fine in IE7 & FF2 , I didn’t get the failure here.
    Have you anything added since you updated to the last version (Images, description text, etc. ) ?

    no, any attempt to open the media input gives an error, on the post input section, where it says ‘Post’ and on the right there are options i click the add picture, the popup opens but clicking on the ‘show’ does nothing, and the thumbnails don’t show either, works perfectly in FF, and safari (windows and mac)
    the error seems to be in this block, specifically updateMediaForm(); (the ie error window says the error is on line 140, view source has that as in 140)
    ‘<script type=”text/javascript”>
    <!–
    jQuery(function($){
    var preloaded = $(“.media-item.preloaded”);
    if ( preloaded.length > 0 ) {
    preloaded.each(function(){prepareMediaItem({id:this.id.replace(/[^0-9]/g, ”)},”);});
    }
    updateMediaForm();
    });
    –>
    </script>’

    i dot think this is ngGallery code tho

    Alex, the IE7 image selector issue is resolved in WP 2.5.1
