Problems with Simple Viewer Pro 2.0.1

    I have been using Alex Rabe’s NextGEN Gallery on https://www.ohiocichlid.com for quite some time with good success. Recently I upgraded the site with NextGEN FlashViewer, but found out that the free version can display a maximum of 50 images per gallery. Since some of my galleries have close to 200 images, I purchased Simple Viewer Pro 2.0.1, and replaced the free version of viewer.swf on my site with the one that comes with Simple Viewer Pro 2.0.1.

    That solved my problem as far as the image limit per gallery goes, but the galleries seem centered without taking the WordPress sidebar into account. Part of the thumbnails are covered by the sidebar, and the image at the top is scaled down almost to thumbnail size. See eg here:

    https://www.ohiocichlid.com/oca-extravaganza/extravaganza-2009-gallery

    The full screen view actually looks good. Also, if I use the viewer.swf file that comes with Simple Viewer Pro 1.9., the gallery view on a page is properly centered, but there is no full screen view with the 1.9 version. In wp-admin under Gallery/Flash Viewer/Simple Viewer, both vertical and horizontal align are center – and they are, just center with respect to the entire page width, not the are left of the side bar.

    I’ve described my problem in the Simpleviewer.net support forums without receiving any useful suggestions. Hopefully somebody here can help.

    Many thanks, Frank

    With the help of Felix Turner, the man behind Simpleviewer, I was finally able to resolve my problem. In a nutshell, Simpleviewer Pro v2 is currently (Feb 2010) incompatible with the WordPress NextGen Plugin. However, the problem I had with the odd positioning of galleries on a page could be fixed by disabling caption and title, which I did not need nor want. This can be done by editing the file simpleviewer.php, which can be found under:

    /wp-content/plugins/nextgen-flashviewer/xml/

    Right at the beginning of the file simpleviewer.php is the tag <simpleviewerGallery>. You can use that tag to set all the SimpleViewer config options found here:

    For details see this thread:

    I set it to:

    <simpleviewerGallery titlePosition=”NONE” captionPosition=”NONE”>
