not working

I seem to also be having an issues with WP 2.8. I have the FCG working fine on my site that is running WP 2.8.4 and using Lifestyle 2.0. This is found at http://dinkerandgiggles.com

My friend has the same theme file, lifestyle 2.0, and is also running WP 2.8.4. I have tried deactivating all of her plugins and nothing seems to be working. Her site is at http://notsoaveragemama.com

I don't understand why mine is working and hers is not when we have basically the same set up and code.

The file jd.gallery.js.php uses short tags. If your php.ini has the value of short_open_tag set to Off, the Featured Content Gallery plugin won't work.

I don't know why they coded FCG this way. The php.ini file states very clearly: "It's been recommended for several years that you not use the short tag "short cut" and instead to use the full <?php and ?> tag combination..." and then it goes on to explain why.

Anyways, you have two options:
1) set short_open_tag to On (not recommended)
2) open jd.gallery.js.php and edit the 4 or 5 lines that contain short tags. For example:
<?=$fcg_button ?>
Change to <?php echo $fcg_button; ?>

I used the option number 2 and it worked fine. Let me know if it also worked for you.

Guys, major help needed!

I'm starting a wordpress 2.8.4 website called The Gamer, and so far I've been losing my mind with its development.

I'm using the Word Mag 1.0 theme, designed by Uno Design Studio, and in the .zip file I downloaded, there was a folder with the FCG plugin. I installed everything correctly (I checked 5 times!) and have not touched any file, so I'd have a live preview on my website and work from there. I'm a zero, good-for-nothing person as a programmer, webdesigner. I don't know how to even start working with code lines, HTML and alike. But I'm here, asking for help anyways.

For a start, here's my site's link: http://www.thegamer.com.br.

See the place where the error code appear? That's what I'm talking about. I haven't done ANYTHING whatsoever with either the FCG plugin or the Word Mag theme, and it still gives me the error message. I have no idea on how to fix this.

Can anyone tell me if fixing this issue is a difficult task? Can anyone help me out with this setback?

I'd be much appreciated for any attention.

Thank you very much.

try to turn off nextgen gallery and specify values for height, width and text overlay height in fcg options in your admin

[Arbulu]

That helped! It was easy to do, also. I could fix the problem by myself.

Thanks a lot!

The reason the Featured Content Gallery is working for some people and not for others is that the author of Featured Content Gallery decided to use PHP's "short open tag" syntax, which allows the use of the following syntax:

<?= $myvar ?>

instead of

<?php echo $myvar ?>

Unfortunately, the short open tag syntax is not enabled in all PHP installations. It requires a php.ini directive to be set: http://us3.php.net/manual/en/ini.core.p ... t-open-tag

To make the Featured Content Gallery usable on any PHP installation, edit the plugin file featured-content-gallery/plscripts/jd.gallery.js.php, and replace each instance of "<?=" with "<?php echo " (be sure there's a space after the word "echo").

This should change the following lines:

Line 46: fadeDuration: <?php echo $fcg_fade_duration ?>,
Line 48: delay: <?php echo $fcg_delay ?>,
Line 63: defaultTransition: '<?php echo $fcg_default_transaction ?>',
Line 75: textShowCarousel: '<?php echo $fcg_button ?>',

I've also notified the folks at StudioPress about this issue. I hope we'll see an update to the plugin soon including this fix (there's been none since March, it seems).

Thanks,
