Problems with recent PHP and NGG versions

  • This plugin has some issues with recent PHP versions and NextGEN Gallery versions. This is an overview of the problems. Most can be fixed fairly easily and I can post more details on the errors or fixes if anyone is interested.

    There are several PHP warnings or errors depending in the PHP version. These can be fixed by following a PHP version upgrade guide.

    After NGG version 3.37 there is a missing function error. This is because NGG removed some legacy code. This can be fixed by copying the function find_gallery( ) from the NGG version 3.37 legacy code into nextgen-ic.php of this plugin.

    In the Image Chooser of this plugin the images of the gallery thumbnails do not display. This is because $image->thumbURL; is empty for function nggic_get_image_info() in nextgen-ic.php. This was due to the information returned by find_image() had some changes after the NGG version 3.37. One of which is the thumbnail URL is not included anywhere in the info. I fixed this by creating the URL from pieces that are returned but there might be a better way.
