Update:

This may be a conflict with some other plugin. I’ve tried this on another website and am NOT having problems there.

Feedback from anyone else who may be having similar problems appreciated!

Hi Shellbot,

Thanks for your response (and thanks for the plugin!) Yes, you are right that it must be a conflict with another plugin or my theme. I tried installing your plugin on a very clean sandbox site that I use for testing and did not get the problem there.

I’m not sure whether or not I’ll have the time to do a proper test for you. I tried disabling the several plugins that were my first best guesses as the ones that might cause the conflict but I was wrong.

Right now I’ll need to stick with my work-around. If I can make time to troubleshoot further, I’ll let you know. Thanks again!

As a workaround, I can put an extra opening div tag into the text widget, and that ‘fixes’ the problem:

<div>
[sb_easy_image num='1' order="random" link="none" size="full" ids="585-590" captions="off"]

By the way, this happens both when I use a widget or when I paste a shortcode into a text widget.

Thanks for those answers.

Re 1. I’m happy to report problems when I notice them. (But yes, not ideal. Great to hear that you’re looking into options.)

Re 2. OK, if you’re using the full version of browscap.ini, what does the standard version not provide that the full version does? (It is half the size.)

I’ve searched around for info on the different versions but I was only able to find this kinda ‘work in progress’ item:
https://github.com/browscap/browscap/wiki/Proposal—re-arrange-files-for-efficiency
I’m not sure if that is what ended up in the different versions.

Perhaps there could be an option to use a choice of versions? (Easy for me to say!!)

I understand; thanks!

So with your current manual method, do you update the plugin every time there is a new version of browscap.ini (how often is that?) or only when it has changed enough that it is no longer working to do the things your plugin requires?

And a related question (if you don’t mind?):
Do you use the standard, full or lite version of browscap.ini?
What is the difference, in a nutshell, between php_browscap.ini and lite_php_browscap.ini ? What doesn’t the lite version do? (Or, if you use the full version, what doesn’t the standard version do?)

Thanks!

Thanks a lot! I appreciate it!

This is a little out of my league, but for curiosity’s sake, I’m wondering if there might not be some way to avoid the need for you folks to periodically check and manually update browsercap.ini?

Might it be possible for the plugin to contain some kind of script that would periodically check for an updated brosercap.ini file and replace it with a newer one if it is available? Something along the lines of this perhaps?

I’m sure that you can rattle off a dozen reasons why that is not possible, so excuse my naivete, but I’m simply curious…

Ravan,

Thanks for your prompt and helpful replies!

Thanks again! Yes, I’d tried that, but when I did, the images popped in by Easy FancyBox still didn’t chain. I’m pretty sure that this was still caused by a conflict with the theme’s js file, which still has their version of FancyBox in it even though I unchecked the theme option “Lightbox effect on images”.

And if I go with the theme’s Fancybox implementation instead of yours (that is, deactivate Easy FancyBox plugin), I don’t get to apply the nice customizations of fancybox that your excellent plugin provides for.

I’ve made a workaround: With both your plugin active, AND the theme’s option to use “Lightbox effect on images” checked, I just wrote my own little piece of jQuery to work with the theme’s output:

function setRels() {
	if ( $('body').hasClass('gallery-page') ) {
     	 relValue = $('.entry-content a.grouped_elements:first-child').attr('rel');
     	 if (relValue !== '') {
     	 	$('.entry-content .gallery a.grouped_elements').each(function() {
     	 		$( this ).attr('rel',relValue);
     	 	});
     	 };
     };
}

$(document).ready(function(){
     setRels();
});

A weird workaround, of course, but it is working nicely.

It changes the rel value of each of the a tags in the gallery to match the rel value of the single thumbnail image’s link.

Thanks! You were right – the theme (Customizr) incorporates Fancybox already (uncredited) and was causing a conflict. I’m not yet sure how to resolve this, but that’s not your problem. (Unless you have any suggestions along those lines?) Thanks for your help.

p.s. – If I put the images in one at a time instead of inserting a gallery, it works fine. But as I want to make it as easy as it can be for the site-owner, I’d much rather insert a WordPress gallery.

I’m interested in any and all suggestions!

Thanks Felipe,

Your plugin is a noble effort and I look forward to seeing what you come up with. Thanks for your work on this and for making it public.

I’m so glad to hear that you are working on it and planning improvements. I hope you will have success. Code Mirror is so nicely designed, and having it available in WordPress would be heavenly.

I don’t currently have your plugin installed since it doesn’t work well for my needs in the current form. If you can, please reply to this thread once your update is available; that way I’ll be notified and will try it out again!

For what it’s worth, I personally prefer to write my HTML without indentation anyway; especially when there is limited width to work in. But that may not be the most common preference!

By the way, are you testing your efforts with the TinyMCE Advanced plugin installed, to make sure they play together nicely? I’ll bet that many of the people who would use your plugin already have TinyMCE Advanced installed.

Best wishes and good luck with your coding!

Happy to report that I’ve updated successfully to version 3.1.3 and everything is working.

Thanks again!

Thanks, and please understand that I do greatly appreciate that you’ve made this plugin and made it freely available. When you put the update online, told me about it, heard that I had trouble, and then stopped responding on a Friday evening, I panicked and got flustered, what with a white screen where my website had been and all. Sorry for my over-reaction. Thanks for the plugin and for getting back to me.

Thanks for pointing me at the repository for the previous version; exactly what I needed for a temporary rollback.

I am running PHP version 5.4.37 ( so,above the V. 5.3 required).

Will try again over the weekend or Monday to upgrade to the latest version and will let you know if I run into a problem again.

Thanks again,
