Just did some extra research, try the ‘nggShowAlbum’ function. There’s some instructions here:

https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/plugin-nextgen-gallery-show-next-gen-album-outside-content-and-sidebar

Goes without saying, make sure you are using the latest version of WP and NGG. I don’t have the time to test this (at work) but I’m pretty confident ‘nggShowAlbum’ should work. I’ll leave the fun part up to you ??

Maybe try –

<?php  /* NG Gallery Custom Field Rotating Images  */
$gallery_id = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'gallery', true);
if( !empty($gallery_id) ){
	$ngg_shortcode = '[ nggallery id=' . $gallery_id . ' template=galleryview images=0 ]';
	echo do_shortcode($ngg_shortcode);
}
?>

I haven’t tested it, so it may still need some tweaking.

Thanks for posting that!

I think I’m going to have to add this to the codex.

Thanks for your input Ipstenu.

I agree that it is only taking control over 90% of the HTML (to save us from our own bad habits and lack of standards) but you’d have to agree that if you are going to be editing HTML, regardless of how crippled it is, it would be easier using a monospaced font.

Slightly off topic, but do you know the reason why there is a lack of control over the HTML in the content? e.g. hiding/adding p tags

The TinyMCE editor that edits POSTS. You can switch to ‘HTML’ view and it uses Lucida Grande. I realize TinyMCE is also a 3rd party plug-in but I’m wondering why the HTML (code view) is displayed in a variable width font which is very unnatural for writing and viewing code in. Hopefully it can be modified so that it’s using a font stack like the theme editor does e.g.’Consolas,Monaco,Courier,monospace’.

Anyone else experienced this yet?

It’s not the output in the post I’m concerned about, it’s the editor itself.

The code editor in the Appearance section got an update about a year ago. I’d be more likely to work more within the html editor rather than copy and pasting back and forth with dreamweaver.

Congrats! Just made my first contribution the other day too. Still lots of blanks to fill.

You can update the codex yourself if you are logged in. Add what you know and I’m sure if there are any holes someone will fill the gaps.

Just had this problem whilst working with addon domains. Always good to check the ‘siteurl’ in the ‘wp-options’ table in the database for anyone else still struggling with this. Had the sub-directory instead on the domain’s url in there. Changed it to the domain and that fixed my problem.

No worries. Have a good one.

OK, it’s fixed.

Turns out there was no temp folder assigned in the php.ini file.

Found the solution here – Link

You may need to get you hosting provider to do this for you as some control panels will not give you enough access to the server.

Thanks again for your help Alex. Are you still looking for a new icon for NGG?

You’re a clever cookie alex.

Checked the core media library and that’s not working either. After a bit of research I think I’ve narrowed it down to the temp folder not being defined in ‘php.ini’. I’ve sent a request to my hosting company to fix it as my control panel access doesn’t give me allow me. So now I play the waiting game.

I’ll post the outcome when I finally get this resolved.

Surprisingly downgrading my PHP version from 5.2.11 to 4.4.7 gets it working again. I don’t consider this to be a fix, I even get a message from NGG to upgrade so I count this as resolved just yet. I can’t be the only person (out of 1.5 million) that has come across this.

Anyone? Please, I’m stating to look a little crazy just posting to myself.
