I have made all of the changes you suggested and I still have an empty box there. Any other ideas for me?

Thanks,
Zoic

I have vista and firefox and upgraded automatically 3/13 and it broke. I looked here, deleted all, downloaded manually, put the new code back in my wordpress index.php--still broke. My theme is leaving a space in the right place above the posts where I had it before but nothing..I checked my featured posts and they look okay and I have 5 of them, and values for articleimg. Oh yeah, I even tried going back to the old one--still blank space where gallery should be. 'bout to give up...

My site is offline so you can't see it...help?

Yah, I'm still not able to get mine operational as well... see thread maybe-a-solution-468-10.html

Seems to be a common problem here....
I have exactly same problems as guitarnoob heres the error messages:



I have been able to do a quick and dirty fix by removing the .php suffix from the script reference in content-gallery.php which calls the file in the header -

change this:

<script type=\"text/javascript\" src=\"".$gallery_path."scripts/jd.gallery.js.php\"></script>

to this:
<script type=\"text/javascript\" src=\"".$gallery_path."scripts/jd.gallery.js\"></script>

However none of the configuration options work within wordpress so the gallery will resort to default values only unless they are changed manually in the script.
I hope this might help to point the developers in the right direction, a quick scan of the forum show a few people having similar issues as yet unresolved.
I have a couple of test posts up at http://kidrelief dot org if it helps.

Just thought I'd add (to save time!) clean install WP2.71 no other plugins using PHP5.2.8 untouched Studiopress Lifestyle theme. HTH

I'll be danged, UKToys, that little fix worked, at least it was a good work-around. Thanks for coming back with that piece of advice. Hopefully the good folks at FCG will see if this extension change is a bonafide bug fix.

However, you're right - the options aren't incorporated into the live site... and I don't know how to alter the raw .js file...

(BTW, I have not upgraded to 2.7.1, I'm still at WP 2.7... don't know if that's a deal breaker or not. The WP auto upgrade feature doesn't work and I'm not in the mood to do a complete system upgrade. One of my blogs is still running WP 2.1 I think, works fine still)

Cheers,

Ok Heres the fix:
I cant take credit for it, this was posted here http://www.featuredcontentgallery.com/forum/php-shortcut-doesn-t-work-on-our-server-522.html

I will just reiterate what he is saying to make it simpler for everyone else:
Firstly make a backup copy of jd.gallery.js.php just in case this doesn't work for you.

Now open up your original in your text editor and do a "find/replace".
you need to find this:
?=$fcg
and replace with this:
?php echo $fcg
Use the "replace all" option to overwrite all instances. Save the file and upload back to the server - you should find that all works as it should again.

Guitarnoob this should work for you as your problem is exactly the same as mine - don't forget to add the .php extension to the file reference that you removed earlier.

"Now open up your original in your text editor and do a "find/replace".
you need to find this:
?=$fcg
and replace with this:
?php echo $fcg"

Hmmm... I did a search for both of those entities and 0 instances were found.
I searched through content-gallery.php and gallery.php

I also have a problem with getting just a blank picture window when browsing with Safari om Mac or PC. Tested both on version 3.X and 4 beta. Works fine in any other browser and operating system.

Is it possible to "downgrade" to an earlier version, and making it work that way? I just need the basic carousel features.
