PhotoXhibit Faq

General Questions

When I view a category/archive/search the post that has the gallery on it shows code that looks like “(function($){$(document).ready(function(){$(”#px10?).jqGalViewII({});});})(jQuery);”, why does it show this code and where are my images?

I am not a 100% percent on this, but WordPress seems to scrub each post and creates an excerpt of your post, usually about 100 words, for those pages. And if your post does not have 100 words before the gallery, it will spit out the code. So the fix would be one of three things, make sure you have text before the gallery, make sure you have excerpt text or alter your themes to show full post instead of excepts.

Does your plugin download the photos from my Flickr/Picasa/SmugMug accounts?

No, the plugin will simply reference those image/photos that you already have uploaded to any of those services.

Masden,
I have been seeing this issue myself, I am not sure why this is happening and why all of a sudden. I am trying to find a fix will post when I do.

You should test your plugin with a xampp-server on windows.
Something goes wrong with the reset-captcha-button image an with the captcha-imae on reset. The file-pathe for some php-files go wrong.

Hi. i really love your plugin. i’ve been looking for something like it for a while but I am having some problems. the gallery functions great from the build gallery page using jquery lightbox, but when i put in in a post i see the thumnails but the slide does not load (just a question mark).
i’m using wordpress 2.5 and have had problems with image uploads before which is why i’m using your plugin.

Hi

Excellent plug-in and thank you.

Is there any way of getting individual captions onto the pics as they display?

Hello, question…
I’m using the Mozilla (Seamonkey) browser and when i view my page that is successfully implementing this plugin as a “cycle”, all of the images show up in a vertical row, with code at the bottom. Does this simply not work with Mozilla? Or am I missing some kind of plugin that I need for Mozilla Seamonkey? I installed a plugin for Flash (adobe) but that didn’t help.

I’d appreciate some feedback, thanks

Hi Benjamim!

First of all great Plugin! But I do have an issue that I can not understand. I have instaled the plugin and it worked fine. Until one day, without any warning, it stoped working and I can not mange or build galleries. Also I can not change the options.

I’ve tried in IE and Firefox, and in different machines too.

In the options menu, I can see all the options at the same time (page) and the save button does not save my settings. Weird.

When I go to create galleries, all options available appear in the same pages, instead of the sequential flow that was supposed to appear… I can change options, but the next buttons or the back links do not work and I can’t create galleries.

And, on op of that, my first gallery, the one that worked, stopped to appear correctly and stopped to work all together…

My version of WordPress is 2.5.1 and I’m running PhotoXhibit 2.1.6.

Thanks a lto, and sorry for the long text :s

Hello – I just installed and activated the plugin in WordPress 2.5.1 . . . it appeared to activate OK, but there is no change to my WP admin screens. No indication of any PhotoXhibit tab. Have installed several other plugins successfully . . . any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

I’m having the exact same problem as Micheljo, except I’m using Picasa and I’ve updated to WordPress 2.5.1.

I choose advanced options, put in my account info, hit the grab button and choose a photo set. I move all the photos over, name the set, and hit the Submit Changes button. It goes to a white screen and says Please Wait…

I’ve waited at least 2 or 3 hours and it never does anything else. It wont stop until I close the window and reopen the browser. I’d really like to get this plugin working on my site, but it’s just not doing anything. HELP!

Hi,

You’re plugin seems very good, but I have the same problem with “Micheljo” I try too built a Picasa gallery but after i choose all options I have the screen “PLease wait …” and nothing else…

Can you help me ?

Hi, I’m real confused on how to implement the plugin on the site. I was able to put the [photoxhibit=1] onto a post. it worked in IE, but not in firefox. I want to try putting it in my header, not sure what code to use. Any suggestions??
thanks!

June 11th, 2008 at 4:36 pm | Link

Ryan, try < ?php photoxhibit(1); ?> for any where in your theme, ie. not in a post or page. When saying it worked in IE but not firefox, what exactly did not work?

June 12th, 2008 at 9:16 am | Link

sosh, you are probably having the same issue that I pointed out on the photoxhibit page, try below:

“If you are getting a hanging error when trying to add a gallery, please use the code at the following link [http://pastebin.com/f5a51e4b3] and overwrite all the code in the /photoxhibit/common/inc/px.php file. There is an issue with some servers with a php function that helps with foreign characters and this code helps”

Hi Benjamin – just installed this today on my development site and looks a fantastic plugin from what I’ve seen so far :)

I am however having problems getting the galary to display on a page in my site – the [photoxhibit=xxx] tag is include at the bottom of this page: http://www.globalf1.net/wp-dev.....show-2000/ and if you check the page HTML the code for displaying the gallery is being generated, but it is simply not displaying (or at least not in IE7). Copying the CSS code displayed on the Gallary Style page in the Admin panel into my stylesheet file doesn’t resolve this issue. What have I missed?!?

@chris the style MAX-WIDTH: 100%; is messing things up. Try putting the following in the styles:

PLAIN TEXT
CSS:
  1. #px1 img{MAX-WIDTH:none !important;}

The photos do not show up in the post as I set it up to do (i used the cycle plugin).

June 19th, 2008 at 4:39 pm | Link

I'm getting the Hanging issue with Picasa. I've tried replacing the code etc. I just can't get it to work. ANy other suggestions before I try an alternative route?
Thanks, otherwise, great plugin.

Herb.

herb, at what point is it hanging?

June 23rd, 2008 at 8:44 am | Link

After I grab my picasa pics and choose the album it just hangs while grabbing the photos.

but when I replace the code it disable my entire site front and back. I rename the photoxhibit folder and I get my site back.

June 23rd, 2008 at 6:27 pm | Link

Hey! Love the plugin but i was wondering if when using the jquery cycle style if i could have each photo link to a different page of my website. Thanks

June 24th, 2008 at 6:46 pm | Link

I have problems uploading pictures in the albums. The "Uploading..." part ends up well, but it hangs while saying "Creating thumbnail...". I changed to the non flash version: the file gets apparently uploaded, it reloads and I end up with a blank page. I go to the album, and no picture is there at all.

I don't know which data maybe relevant here: most options are default, 100x100 thumbnails, reduced to 800x600, files are typically 3888x2592, sized ~500k. I'm uploading from Windows/Firefox 3, hosting is Linux, safe_mode on PHP is off, WordPress is 2.5.1.

June 26th, 2008 at 11:06 am | Link

@Leandro if you go into your upload directory, do you see the images there?

@Jonas as it stands now, that functionality is not there.

June 27th, 2008 at 11:27 pm | Link

I upload photos to the album and they show up in the album as successfully loaded. Then I try to create a gallery and it says it brings my photos into the gallery but nothing shows up in the gallery. I cannot find where the photos are being uploaded to. definitely not showing up in the /wp-content/uploads directory. I checked every other directory but cannot find any of the photos but they definitely show as uploading, completed, and listed in the album. However no thumbnails show up after the gallery says it has created the thumbnails.
