External carousel breaks slideInfoZone

[whatsthebigidea]

I successfully (sort of) created a vertical thumbnail carousel at http://www.architecturalwebdesign.com/ via changing the the css and variables in smoothgallery:

Code: Select all

<div id="contenu">

<script type="text/javascript">
function startGallery() {
var myGallery = new gallery($('myGallery'), {
timed: true,
useReMooz: false,
embedLinks: true,
useExternalCarousel: true,
carouselElement: 'carouselBox',
carouselHorizontal: false,
showCarouselLabel: false,
showArrows: true,
showCarousel: true,
activateCarouselScroller: true,
});
myGallery.showCarousel();
}
window.addEvent('domready',startGallery);
</script>       

<div id="diapo">
<?php include (ABSPATH . '/wp-content/plugins/featured-content-gallery/gallery.php'); ?></div>
<div id="carouselBox"></div> 
</div>

Unfortunately, the slideInfoZone only appears when the gallery first loads up (initial image) and subsequent images appear but without the InfoZone. I searched around and found PROBLEM with EXTERNAL CAROUSEL (v2.0) (disappearing InfoZone) - http://smoothgallery.jondesign.net/forums/viewtopic.php?id=229 which suggested changing:

In jd.gallery.js, find the following (on/around Ln 207):

if (this.options.showCarousel)

and change it to:

if (this.options.showCarousel && this.carouselBtn)

However, no luck for me. Any suggestions? BTW, thanks for a great plugin!!

your gallery is broken, it throws 2 javascript errors in a load time and it continues throw the error in a run time..that's why infopane is not shown
sorry I do not support modified galleries..

I was changing the featured-content-gallery/scripts/jd.gallery.js file instead of the featured-content-gallery/scripts/jd.gallery.js.php file. Could you share [with this newbie] how they interrelate and why you would need both? Thanks for imparting any knowledge my way.

[admin]

it still throws errors.
about other file..it was just left there for people who does not like dynamic javascript files

with this newbie

you are too smart to call yourself newbie
