wp 2.8

[billwolff]

Hello,

I've been trying to install the Featured Content Gallery after struggling to install the Dynamic Content Gallery in 2.8. Right now I am getting a blank box, though the code does include the correct working image URL and featuredtext description. I have selected "Select here to use individual post or page IDs" and have listed 5 post IDs. I don't even get the little loading bar.

The images that are not appearing are the same size as the gallery (598x260). I have not chosen to customize the thumbnails.

The web site is http://williamwolff.org.

After reading through some of the other forum posts, I tried deactivating and then reactivating the plugins. I also removed the jQuery lines of code. Still not working.

I am using the Igloo News theme.

Any help you can give is greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Best,
Bill

I updated 2.8 on one site and the FCG works fine. - www.salesattitude.com

I updated 2-8 on another site and I only get a black loading screen for FCG. - www.william-woodard.com

I checked both to see if they looked the same and they seem to from what I can tell. I have uninstalled, deactivated and danced around in circles. Any thoughts?

Thanks!

Hi,

I've been having the same problem using one of Brian Gardner's template and I've actually made some progress.

The Web Developer Toolbar for Firefox was showing Java script errors on the page load, specifically the following:

Error: invalid XML markup
Source File: http://www.vcit.ca/wp-content/plugins/f ... ery.js.php
Line: 38, Column: 17
Source Code:
fadeDuration: <?=$fcg_fade_duration ?>,

Comparing the code syntax to other line in the file, I found that the proper syntax is:

fadeDuration: '<?=$fcg_fade_duration ?>',

I found the same syntax error for the delay: and defaultTransition: values

After correcting these syntax errors, one of my selected images appeared in the FCG frame! Unfortunately, the feature text area doesn't pop up, but the thumbnail gallery works.

There are clearly some syntax or coding error in the latest release.

Well, I can conclusively report that the problem is with the latest build of the FCG plugin.

I used WinHTTrack to grab a copy of the plugin directly from the working installation on http://www.featuredcontentgallery.com/ rather than getting it from the repository. It works flawlessly.

Clearly, the version available for download on Wordpress.org in the plugins repository is different than the one used on www.featuredcontentgallery.com

Cheers,

Alan

FYI: I have isolated the problem down to three lines of code within the jd.gallery.js.php file:

delay: '<?=$fcg_delay ?>',
defaultTransition: '<?=$fcg_default_transaction ?>',
textShowCarousel: '<?=$fcg_button ?>',

The version of the plugin currently downloadable from the Wordpress.org plugin repository works if the above lines are changed to:

delay: 7000,
defaultTransition: 'fade',
textShowCarousel: 'Feature Content',

I think the variable names in each case are incorrect.

This is good news! Can I ask where these lines should be changed? I am not a programmer so I want to make sure I make the changes in the correct location.

Thanks!

Just open up the jd.gallery.js.php file in notepad/text edit then do ctrl/cmd + F and search for those lines of code.

Edit: I have tried replacing those variables with what you said and it still doesnt work. The link to my site is http://reviews4gamers.net.

Okiedoke,

So here it is...what worked for me at least. If you can get into your plugin editor, go to mootools uncompressed, copy the code, and paste it in featured-content-gallery/scripts/mootools.v1.11.js save it. It should work.
