Boris has kindly taken care of it!

NextGEN-ImageFlow.

Enjoy! ??

Just to make sure: Have you deactivated Lightbox (in ngg & plugins)? Lightbox has an issue with IE6.

Don’t have IE6 here (and why should one use a stupid browser with no tabs?), can’t really check what’s going on there.

No idea what your blog is about, the pictures in between the text are are certainly … questionable content, don’t you think?

It does that automatically. Navigate to Gallery -> Options -> Effects and choose whatever effect you like.

For me, usually Highslide works best (comes with the plugin, no extra install).

Ah, that’s odd. Smoothgallery is “hardwired” into the theme, so you’d need to edit the extra.php in which the information on the (dummy-)pictures and texts are stored (lines .

I’d rather have a clean theme and add nggallery (and ngg-smoothgallery) as plugins and can then add & change the content easily.

Diana,

I didn’t realize the pictures in the smoothgallery were simply dummy pictures (though it does say so in your initial post …). I hope I get it right this time. ??

If you want your ngg-slideshow pictures appear in the smoothgallery on the left, you only need to change the gallery-id in smoothgallery (a post, I assume) to the one your slideshow-widget (on the right) uses. You probably want to deactivate the slideshow (right), too (Theme -> Widget -> NGG slideshow).

You could also locate the pictures the smoothgallery uses, trahs these and replace with your own.

I’ll have a look at the theme and see what it looks like. It is a ice theme, I agree.

Works here (Firefox 3, Mac).

Have you tried uploading the picture via ftp and then scan the folder for new images? This often worked.

Diana,
in the style.css, there’s the following tag (around line 70):
div#extra-sidebar {
In this element you’ll see the definition float: right;
This is keeping the slideshow to the right of the template.

I understand you want to take out the smoothgallery and replace it with the slideshow, correct?

I had a plugin that caused ngg not to to do the uploading properly (never got over 0%!).

I don’t know which plugin was the torublemaker but deactivating and activating the plugins step by step worked for me.

If you upload the pics via ftp and also add an empty “thumbs”-folder in the same directory, ngg is usually able to rescan the folder and then creates everything you need.

Looks fine here – both slideshows and galleries! Slideshows are working fine. Still you can deactivate the slideshows easil, everyting is built-in the plugin options:

Got to
Gallery -> Options -> Gallery (Settings)

Uncheck “Integrate slideshow” and make sure, the next option (“Show first”) is on “thumbnails”. That’s it.

Hmm, it seems something is broken with your page and/or plugins. The slideshow page produces quite a few errors:

https://www.filmmakersdream.com/travel/wp-content/plugins/nextgen-gallery/css/nggallery.css

https://www.filmmakersdream.com/travel/wp-includes/js/jquery/jquery.js?ver=1.2.3

The main page doesn’t recognize the nggallery.css either

Have you deactivated and activated the plugin? Have you tried “Highslide” (“Thickbox” and “Lighbox” cause occasionally problems in my blog, too, “Highslide always seems to work for me)?

Can’t access your website … maybe you are updating it just now? Or is anything broken? Server down? ??

I’m not sure what is screwed up (don’t know what it’s supposed to look like and where). The more information of what’s going wrong, the more likely someone will be able to help. ??

However, I noticed though that your pictures have spaces in their names (they show as “%” in the address bar), which often messes up things. I had the impression the underlying JavaScript is a bit flaky and this may be one explanation.

I’d rename the pictures with proper titles and underscores, i.e. changing:
Raften maandag 31 juli 08-site
which shows as
Raften%20maandag%2031%20juli%2008-site.jpg in the address bar
to:
Raften_maandag_2031_20juli_2008_site.jpg

This seems to be mostly because you set a fairly large height for your viewers.

Try with 400 (or even a bit less) for the simpleviewer.

Well, you can, simply deactivate the JavaScript thumbnail effects under “Options” -> “Effects” (set to “none”). The “FancyZoom” effect then takes over.

Not a true integration but it works just fine! There are disadvantages (no prev – next button) though. It should actually be not too difficult to integrate in the plugin itself such as the other effects.
