Now when I try to change any settings, the files aren't created for that gallery, which is fortunately only one at this point. However, now I can't see that gallery at all. I haven't changed anything else, but I did an automatic upgrade if that has anything to do with it.</p> <p>I did have a similar problem with my old version when the images and XML files were being created, but would stop half way. Someone suggested clicking the back button and then creating the files again, which always worked. That little trick doesn't work now. </p> <p>Any ideas? </p> http://wp-simpleviewer.fuggi82.de/topic/thumbnail-wont-resize-properly#post-2540 Wed, 10 Mar 2010 21:25:02 +0000 misterfriend 2540@http://wp-simpleviewer.fuggi82.de/ <p>I'm using simple-viewer pro </p> http://wp-simpleviewer.fuggi82.de/topic/custom-thumbs#post-2539 Wed, 10 Mar 2010 20:08:21 +0000 segan 2539@http://wp-simpleviewer.fuggi82.de/ <p>I'm using wp-sv and I've upgraded to pro. I've set a custom size for the thumbnails (60x90) and was wondering if there was a way to make my own thumbs? Currently it crops them in the middle, which works for some but others I would like to crop them from the top. Is there a way to do this or a folder where I can upload the thumbs or are they just generated in the program? </p> http://wp-simpleviewer.fuggi82.de/topic/error-messagecould-not-make-subdirectories-for-the-thumbnails#post-2538 Wed, 10 Mar 2010 20:01:55 +0000 Markus 2538@http://wp-simpleviewer.fuggi82.de/ <p>Is this solved now as you said here? <a href="http://wp-simpleviewer.fuggi82.de/topic/galleries-are-not-displaying?replies=2" rel="nofollow">http://wp-simpleviewer.fuggi82.de/topic/galleries-are-not-displaying?replies=2</a> </p> http://wp-simpleviewer.fuggi82.de/topic/image-compression-and-artifacting#post-2537 Wed, 10 Mar 2010 19:56:58 +0000 Markus 2537@http://wp-simpleviewer.fuggi82.de/ <p>You can try to set a higher value for the quality during gallery creation. In my opinion 85% is a good mix for size and quality. The GD library is used for the resizing, some people prefer to let Photoshop to this and replace the images created by the GD library by FTP afterwards.<br /> Hope this helps you! </p> http://wp-simpleviewer.fuggi82.de/topic/galleries-are-not-displaying#post-2536 Wed, 10 Mar 2010 19:54:28 +0000 Markus 2536@http://wp-simpleviewer.fuggi82.de/ <p>Try to not use % values as size, try it with fixed pixel values. With some themes % values cause problems. </p> http://wp-simpleviewer.fuggi82.de/topic/thumbnail-wont-resize-properly#post-2535 Wed, 10 Mar 2010 19:52:16 +0000 Markus 2535@http://wp-simpleviewer.fuggi82.de/ <p>Do you use the WP-Simpleviewer plugin for your galleries? I wonder because there is no way to change the thumbnail size in the plugin without toughing the code. </p> http://wp-simpleviewer.fuggi82.de/topic/thumbnail-wont-resize-properly#post-2534 Tue, 09 Mar 2010 19:55:20 +0000 misterfriend 2534@http://wp-simpleviewer.fuggi82.de/ <p>I'm using simpleviewer-pro in wordpress and have the thumbnail size set to 80x104, as this fits most of the images, in the Options.as but for some reason the first one of my thumbnails refuses to adhere to this. Instead of cropping the image to this size it as made a small square image within that frame which looks odd.<br /> <a href="http://deborahviereck.com/collections/collection-2009/" rel="nofollow">http://deborahviereck.com/collections/collection-2009/</a><br /> There are other images that have a similar square aspect to the first picture and the thumbs for them are at the size specified and cropped into a portrait image. I'm wondering why it's doing this and is there somewhere I can upload the thumbs manually?<br /> I've looked at the thumbs in here<br /> /wp-content/gallery/web-ready-09/thumbs<br /> and they don't seem to be related to the thumbs on the site.<br /> Any advice would be greatly appreciated. </p> http://wp-simpleviewer.fuggi82.de/topic/galleries-are-not-displaying#post-2533 Mon, 08 Mar 2010 17:10:13 +0000 Kathe 2533@http://wp-simpleviewer.fuggi82.de/ <p>Hi....I got my permissions problem solved with Godaddy. I was at last able to set the permissions to Read and Write. (No such thing as 777 when it comes to Godaddy hosting, I guess.) Having done that, I was able to get my galleries created, and inserted onto their respective pages on the website.</p> <p>However, the galleries I created are not displaying on the front end, in Firefox. In Internet Explorer 8, the white background of the gallery is displayed, nothing else. </p> <p>Here is a link to see the nothingness: <a href="http://www.sallietakespictures.com/?page_id=47" rel="nofollow">http://www.sallietakespictures.com/?page_id=47</a></p> <p>What can I do to fix this? </p> <p>I had it all working perfectly on a copy of the site that is hosted by hostgator....so I wonder if it is still a Godaddy problem. </p> http://wp-simpleviewer.fuggi82.de/topic/image-compression-and-artifacting#post-2532 Sat, 06 Mar 2010 19:06:52 +0000 Tomo 2532@http://wp-simpleviewer.fuggi82.de/ <p>Hey,</p> <p>I've put together a few galleries with this, and it's been fairly painless to use. However, my photos seem to have developed some artifacts in the process.</p> <p>For instance, picture five here: <a href="http://www.tom-roberts.com/icu-freshers-week-collection/" rel="nofollow">http://www.tom-roberts.com/icu-freshers-week-collection/</a></p> <p>The guy is waving his arms in the air. The quality doesn't resemble the original. Is this to do with the Image resize quality setting? Why is it defaulted at 85%?</p> <p>If you could offer some advice, that would be great.</p> <p>Thanks,</p> <p>Tomo </p> http://wp-simpleviewer.fuggi82.de/topic/error-messagecould-not-make-subdirectories-for-the-thumbnails#post-2531 Sat, 06 Mar 2010 07:45:32 +0000 Kathe 2531@http://wp-simpleviewer.fuggi82.de/ <p>Oh--PS--I just realized why the test gallery works. I set it up on a test version of the site on my server space which is hosted by Hostgator. Then I copied the site over to my client's hosting on godaddy. So the xml file and all that was already created. Ok...That part of the mystery is solved. </p> <p>I bet this is a godaddy issue. But if you see something about that error message that gives you an idea of something else I can try, I'm game! </p> <p>Thanks! </p> http://wp-simpleviewer.fuggi82.de/topic/error-messagecould-not-make-subdirectories-for-the-thumbnails#post-2530 Sat, 06 Mar 2010 07:41:21 +0000 Kathe 2530@http://wp-simpleviewer.fuggi82.de/ <p>My client's webhost is godaddy.

If you look at this link below, you will see the central picture is quite small. Id like it to be a little larger, but when I set the width in the settings to anything larger than 500 the background goes over the sidebar and covers up the text. </p> <p>Is there anyway of making the central picture larger without the background getting bigger?</p> <p><a href="http://www.pet-portraitartist.com/blogs/?p=1875" rel="nofollow">http://www.pet-portraitartist.com/blogs/?p=1875</a> </p> http://wp-simpleviewer.fuggi82.de/topic/galleries-distorted-with-wp-292-and-simple-viewer-pro-201#post-2524 Tue, 23 Feb 2010 01:36:08 +0000 fmueller 2524@http://wp-simpleviewer.fuggi82.de/ <p>With the help of Felix Turner, the man behind Simpleviewer, I was finally able to resolve my problem. In a nutshell, Simpleviewer Pro v2 is currently (Feb 2010) incompatible with the Wordpress NextGen Plugin. However, the problem I had with the odd positioning of galleries on a page could be fixed by disabling caption and title, which I did not need nor want. This can be done by editing the file simpleviewer.php, which can be found under:</p> <p>/wp-content/plugins/nextgen-flashviewer/xml/</p> <p>Right at the beginning of the file simpleviewer.php is the tag &lt;simpleviewerGallery&gt;. You can use that tag to set all the SimpleViewer config options found here:</p> <p><a href="http://www.simpleviewer.net/simpleviewer/pro/support/pro_options.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.simpleviewer.net/simpleviewer/pro/support/pro_options.html</a></p> <p>For details see this thread:</p> <p><a href="http://www.simpleviewer.net/forum/viewtopic.php?pid=25112#p25112" rel="nofollow">http://www.simpleviewer.net/forum/viewtopic.php?pid=25112#p25112</a></p> <p>I set it to:</p> <p>&lt;simpleviewerGallery titlePosition="NONE" captionPosition="NONE"&gt;</p> <p>Greetings</p> <p>Frank </p> http://wp-simpleviewer.fuggi82.de/topic/wordpress-and-sv-pro#post-2523 Tue, 23 Feb 2010 00:16:26 +0000 rosemarydesigns 2523@http://wp-simpleviewer.fuggi82.de/ <p>Thanks Markus.

Also, there is plenty of space on the left. The problem is with the centering, not the width. Unfortunately I don't know how to change that, but since it's working with the regular Simple Viewer, and Simple Viewer Pro 1.9, but not with Simple Viewer Pro 2.0.1, I have a hunch the problem is with Simple Viewer Pro 2.0.1! </p> http://wp-simpleviewer.fuggi82.de/topic/image-preview-in-edit-captions-for-gallery-not-showing-up#post-2520 Thu, 18 Feb 2010 23:50:26 +0000 cpmv2 2520@http://wp-simpleviewer.fuggi82.de/ <p>Everything works as expected, the gallery and everything. Just no preview when you go back to edit captions. I renamed a photo test.jpg and the same thing happens? So odd because it was working fine. </p> http://wp-simpleviewer.fuggi82.de/topic/icons-and-links#post-2519 Thu, 18 Feb 2010 23:03:00 +0000 Markus 2519@http://wp-simpleviewer.fuggi82.de/ <p>When you bought the pro version you should be able to change the flash file itself (ig you know flash).
