I think I’ve also found a solution for the making the background on the JW Image Rotator slideshow transparent. It involves removing the black background on the “back” symbol in the library on the source .fla and then adding a parameter to the SWFobject code.

s1.addParam("wmode", "transparent");

Changing the source .fla and recompiling a new .swf is no problem.

Unfortunately, I don’t know how to add the extra parameter. I’m assuming the change needs to be made to:

/nextgen-gallery/lib/swfobject.php

I’m referencing information I found here:

If anyone can offer advice on how to make the modification I would appreciate it.

sorry double post

FYI, I was able to resolve the issue of only some of the Thumbs displaying the PicLense icon. You can correct it by going to:

/nextgen-gallery/xml/media-rss.php

And changing line 47 to the number of thumbs you need to display. By default its set to 10

$show = 10;

I changed it to 100, and now all the thumbs are showing the icon.

I can confirm this bug. It appears to be a problem with where the first thumbnail in a row is placed. If you have thumbnails that are of varying heights, it places the first thumbnail of the row directly under the thumbnail from the row above with the smallest height and adds on from there. Very frustrating.

Would definitely like to see a fix for this.

I can confirm this bug. Can’t figure out any reason why some thumbnails show the icon and others do not.

I thought I would add the format of manually adding PicLense link. This is assuming that you Have NextGen Gallery installed with the PicLense option turned on in the options.

<!-- Piclense link --><a href="javascript:PicLensLite.start({feedUrl:'https://www.yoursite.com/~gailtrob/wp-content/plugins/nextgen-gallery/xml/media-rss.php?gid="GALLERY_ID"&amp;mode=gallery'});">View with PicLens</a>

Where “GALLERY_ID” = the Number of the Gallery you want to Display in PicLense

Still haven’t figured out manually adding a slideshow link or why the CoolIris Icon doesn’t seem to appear on ever thumb nail like it should.

I’m also looking to do this with NextGen v. 1.02

Does anyone know if this is still possible? Doesn’t seem to work with NextGen 1.0.2 on WP 2.7

OK, well I think I resolved at least part of problems. Thanks to Dario Corsetti.

He updated his page regarding his hack for previous versions of NexGen Gallery, and made me aware of another shortcode option I was not aware of [thumb id].

This has accomplished, most of what I want to do. I have all the different paintings in separate galleries on the backend, and when displaying in the thumbs in ThickBox you are able to scroll through all the galleries at once.

Issues remaining:

1. I’m still having a bit of rendering problem on the 4th section down with the thumbnails not aligning correctly, this is minor I can probably overcome it by resorting things. But this was the artists requested order.

2. I would like to put a link to do a Flash Slideshow of the work, and have the slideshow go through all the images shown from all galleries.

3. I need to add a PicLense link. It seems to already be adding all photos from all galleries if you click the PicLense corner icon thingy. Speaking of the corner icon thing, does anyone know why it only seems to show up on some thumbnails and not all of them?

4. Lastly I would like to do a Slideshow on the homepage that does random selections from all galleries. Is there a way to setup a random slideshow on an album?

Thanks for any assistance you might be able to provide.

Got it, needed to clear the floats.

OK, I partially figured out the problem. The DIV was positioned absolute. Changing this to relative seems to have solved the problem with the DIV not showing up immediately, but now its not positioned correctly.
