Hello,

I really love this plug-in, good job!

I've watched the video but it doesn't touch up on what i'm looking for.

1. Is it possible to have the gallery display images that are not part of categories, pages, etc. strictly images that have a link direction?

2. How would I get the slider in a column. The wordpress theme I am using allows to add widgets to the column but this is not a widget so it has to placed there someother way. When I tried I ended up erasing the other two columns.
For reference here is the site I look to customize: http://webfxmedia.com/wordpress/

At the bottom, there is three columns. The third one (Jquery) I want it to be the featured content gallery.

Any idea of how to get the gallery in there? Without affecting anything else?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks,
Marcio

for this question, I think fcg will not work with this theme at all..this is jquery theme..probably will have conflict with fcg..but you can try..
and to put gallery in third column...probably you should find this div

Code: Select all

div class="small_box box3"

and put it there..but I could be wrong, it is difficult to say anything on theme that I do not know

Sorry I am a bit confused...

I found div class="small_box box3"

am i changing this to div class="<?php include (ABSPATH . '/wp-content/plugins/featured-content-gallery/gallery.php'); ?>"



Thanks

try this

Code: Select all

if($column == 3)
{
echo'
<div class="small_box box3">
<span class="meta">custom made scripts</span>
<h3><a href="http://www.kriesi.at/demos/twicet/jquery-improved-theme/">jQuery improved Theme</a></h3>

replace this piece of code with
if($column == 3)
{
echo'
<div class="small_box box3">';
include (ABSPATH . '/wp-content/plugins/featured-content-gallery/gallery.php');
echo'
</div> ';
}

Hmm when I paste that code in, my website no longer functions...

[admin]

can you tell me what error is thrown when you replace this code?
