Thank you so much. I didn’t expect you to answer, it was a long shot after weeks of struggle. In fact I didn’t even need to complicate with the URL variable in the dropdown. I just grabbed the last name and used:

$participant_id = Participants_Db::get_record_id_by_term('last_name', $select-value, true);

to use in

<?php
echo do_shortcode('[pdb_record record_id=$participant_id]');
?>

Still lots to do, but this idea is working brilliantly. Thanks again (where do you get the time?). A fantastic life saving plugin.

Found a fix in this topic
‘nggadmin-css is missing in several sections’

Which was:

You’ll have to edit the admin.php file (inside the admin folder).

You can view the commit here: https://bitbucket.org/wpgetready/nextcellent/commits/b33fa804147fa97a7b8b25736d90946c8fb3e36d

In short: delete the ‘break;’ on line 385 and 394

These weren’t the line numbers in my version, but the fix worked perfectly.

Thank you for replying.
I have tried disabling all of the plugins, but still have the same problem. In the editor, I can see an image for old Nextgen galleries, but a red triangle for newer ones.

BUT, even with the image displaying in the editor correctly, how can yo identify which gallery you have inserted. With the short code that used to be displayed, the gallery was easily identified by the id.

eg [nggallery id =3072]

now displays as

<img class=”ngg_displayed_gallery mceItem” alt=”” src=”https://properties247.co.uk/nextgen-attach_to_post/preview/id–23372&#8243; />

where is the 3072 showing or the name of the gallery which was Nad0072 to identify which gallery is being used?

This method does work for me, but the problem is that the imageused as the featured image from the NextGEN gallery does not get posted on Facebook with the WP FACEBOOK plugin, but a featured image from the media library does. It is easier to use a featured image from the nextGEN gallery as they are in folders and easy to find. It is a nusance to have to copy these images to the media library to use them in posts that will be shown on Facebook.

Is there a solution to this?

I also have this problem and have reverted back to an older version. I would be happy to let you take a look if you are still investigating, but will need to update, which I cannot do and leave on my website as I do not want it displaying the error instead of the slideshow. Does anyone have a solution?

Hi juliejcdesign, I did not find a solution to the problem and the author of the plugin told me he has does not have enough time to support this plugin any longer. Sad as it had great potential. I am now using Ajax Event calendar, which I am finding very good for what I needed.

I have added this plugin, but no search box or controls or anything has appeared, so how do you use it?

This is what I have put to use this plugin

‘<div id = “side-images”>
<?php echo do_shortcode(‘[jj-ngg-jquery-carousel gallery=”3″ width=”185″ height=”160″ visible=”3″ gap=”20″ scroll=”1″ auto=”3″ vertical=”true”]’);
?>’

I have 40 images in gallery id=3 and three showing on the page. I have auto scrolling, but when i click the arrow the images rotate on demand.

Thank you for replying. I managed to fix the problem, but I had to do a clean install of wordpress. Perhaps because i tried various plugins, including two jj nextgen plugins, something somewhere got corrupted.

I added :
$output .= "<p><a href="">".$image_text."</a></p>";

this line of code to jj_ngg_jquery_carousel.php (in the includes folder in the jj-nextgen-jquery-carousel plugin directory)

I added it after

if($use_url)
{
$output .= "</a>";

my new line here

}
$output .="</li>";

This does not work, but I still can not find a way to simply create a gallery in nextgen, without using the interface.

$defaultpath = ‘wp-content/gallery’;
$title =$newgallery = esc_attr( ‘wpwtest’ );
nggAdmin::create_gallery($title, $defaultpath);
