Always a pleasure Geoff! Keep up the hard work mate!

@michael… Ah, I see what you mean now… “Open album in lightbox”, and you are right that I don’t make use of the Album feature. My apologies for misunderstanding the thread.

@stephanie, hopefully Michael can help you get your album’s sorted, as he is right that I’m not doing what you are actually looking for it seems.

Best of luck.

Hi Stephanie,

My apologies for getting to the party a bit late… I can imagine how frustrated you must feel, so let me see if I can help you as well.

It is quite a while back since I looked at this, so my memory is a bit rusty as to what I did, but I’m pretty sure I didn’t change anything in functions.php, as I was specifically try to avoid making any changes to core files.

So let’s run through the steps you need to do once you have pretty photo installed:

1) Select “Custom” from the “JavaScript Thumbnail effect” dropdown menu in Gallery -> Options -> Effects in NextGen Gallery.

2) Add the following code to the field “Link Code line” in the Effects tab:

rel=”prettyPhoto[%GALLERY_NAME%]”

3) Call the gallery with the shortcode [nggallery id=3] where id is the ID of your photo gallery.

I think your problem might lie with the shortcode you are using, so try the above shortcode and let me know if it works. Don’t make any changes to functions.php just yet.

Good luck.

@mvandemar You are a legend mate! I have been battling for hours to figure out how to get NGG working together with Pretty Photo Media, and your solution inspired me to try one last thing… and it worked!

I didn’t create all the extra files, functions and templates etc. All I did was add the following code (thanks to you) as a custom effect, just like you suggest here:

Then I went to Gallery -> Options -> Effects, changed the dropdown to Custom, and added this code:

rel=”prettyPhoto[%GALLERY_NAME%]”

The result is exactly this:

So to anyone looking for a quick, easy solution, just install PrettyPhoto Media as @mvandemar suggests, then add the above code to NGG Gallery as he suggests as well. And that should be it…

Thanks @mvandemar for taking the time to share your solution with us, and in the process, sorting out my problem for me.

You are right Mitcho. I forgot that I hardcoded YARPP into my theme because I wanted it in a different location from the default. So I was still referencing the deactivated plugin.

In that case I would say yes, deactivating and reactivating went smoothly. I didn’t get any other errors. Sorry for the false alarm. I think you can sit back and crack open a cold one… ??

I am afraid that didn’t work too well Mitcho. I got this fatal error when deactivating:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: related_entries() in /users2/domains/floristchronicles.com/web/wp-content/themes/designpile/single.php on line 45
..

And now I seem to be stuck with it even after reactivating the plugin. You can see the error here:

Any ideas?

I can also confirm that the latest beta, 3.2.1b4 works perfectly on my site, Mitcho.
Thanks.

Well, I can confirm that the new beta version is working 100% for me now.
Thank you so much Mitcho for creating an awesome plugin and for your perseverance in getting it to work on my setup. Your efforts are greatly appreciated!
I hope this sorts it out for everyone else as well… ??

Hey Mitcho, just thought you should know that I have also been having the same problem with the new upgrade. I was happy to see version 3.2.1b2 in this thread last night, but installing it hasn’t made a difference.
What else can we try to solve this issue? I have reduced the match down to 1 and it’s still showing the currect post only with a “0” next to it.
Thanks.
