The plug in does not write it’s table on install and produces this error:

The hashes are database and table prefixes. I imagine it might work once this is either fixed in the plugin install, or manually created. I’m a little busy to try it right now, but I hope this helps someone!

To be honest, I’m always a little wary of plugins with sloppy coding like this – maybe it was just late on a Friday night, or are there further issues with it??

Great idea though!

[Table ‘###.##_languages’ doesn’t exist]
SELECT code FROM ##_languages AS l INNER JOIN ##_post2lang AS p2l ON l.language_id = p2l.language_id WHERE p2l.post_id = 1 LIMIT 1

You’re in the wrong place, the plugin is made by instinct.co.nz and there is a forum for all these questions there.

Good luck!

That approach might be a bit of a security risk, but you can use page templates to do this without extra plug ins! This will get you started:

You can use page templates to change the look of each artist page. This a bit of an inelegant process, but assuming each artists is fairly ‘static’ – that it will remain in your site for a long time, it is a robust option.

I am working on a similar thing, but using individual widgets for each artists. There is starting to be a need for better widget management with this kind of project as it pushes the limits of the way WP works as a full CMS right now.

For example, if I have ‘About’ text for each artist showing in a widget, and have 20 artists, that’s 20 widgets in the Appearances/Widgets page – very hard to manage!

But back to you, page templates are the way to go for theming each artist.

Thanks Leigh, but I think what SollyNZ is trying to do is display a text list of gallery names – no thumbnails.

I have been looking at the nggfunctions.php to decipher how to do this, but I don’t fully understand it yet.

The ‘Manage Gallery’ link in the back end shows a list of all galleries, but the relevant code is enmeshed in the above file.

Any php people able to pull it out?

OK… so where does the above code go? In the page template or elsewhere?

Stephanie, your plug in is TOTALLY AWESOME! I have been using the wonderful widget context, but it seems to have stopped working in version 0.5 and WP2.8.5…

One little thing… To show a widget just on a home page, I have to choose to hide an awful lot of pages. If you had a home tick box, one could choose show / and tick home – just one box.

The interface on your plug in is superb. I’ve used all of these contextual widget plug ins and yours is the most superior in it’s elegance and ease of use.

I’ll let you know when my new site is up for you to peruse.

Ha! Me to! I have been fiddling with imagerotator.php, but I’m going cross eyed now … :-S

kar2905,

you might need to chmod imagerotator.php to 755

Sorted – it IS permissions. I found the answer here:

https://www.envisageblue.com.au/news/articles/157-fix-nextgen-gallery-slideshow-and-wordpress-28

imagerotator.php needs permissions as 755

Thank you envisage blue people – whoop! whoop!

Same issue here. It works fine on MAMP, but just a black screen with the loader cog on the live server. I thought it was the URLs being passed to the swf at first, but as it works locally, it must be something else. I think it might be a permission issue, but that is just a hunch so far.

For all those using WordPress 2.8 and having this really frustrating Fasthosts issue, adding this code (changing [email protected] to your default Fasthosts email address) works in the config.php file. Thank you Truthmedia, who made the suggestion.

For anyone looking for a new host for WordPress, I’d recommend something other than Fasthosts. Spent hours on teh phone with them trying to resolve this, was cut off twice and they just didn’t understand the issue. I was also told that, although they recommend WordPress, that it was also not guaranteed to work on certain hosting packages.

I have no idea of any security implications by putting this in the config file. Advice from anyone?

function wp_mail( $to, $subject, $message, $headers = '' ) {
$email_from="[email protected]"; // Make sure this is a fasthosts hosted email address
$email_to = $to;
ini_set("sendmail_from", $email_from);
$email_subject = $subject;
$email_headers = "From: $email_from"."\r\n"."Reply-To: $email_from"."\r\n";
$email_message= $message;
$sent = mail($email_to, $email_subject, $email_message, $email_headers, "-f".$email_from);
return $sent;
}

Oh… I only use one plug in and it is the whole e commerce infrastructure of the site…

Thanks for that Esmi – at least I know what causes the problem! :-/
