Thanks for the great plugin! I added it to my theme using your instructions with some difficulty, but after going back through it, I found where I messed up and it works great! THANKS!

Thanks Christian – I’ve added [smoothgallery timed=true] by editing the html of the home page in the ‘edit page’ section of wordpress, but it’s still a static show. Is there something else I’m doing wrong?

Hi Mike, please don't make changes in the code but use the attributes in the shortcode or configure the widget to adapt the gallery to your needs. In case you're using the shortcode add timed=true to it, if you're using the widget enter true where it reads timed. This should do the trick.

Hi Christian – looks great so far, but tried to get the slideshow to auto-start by changing the option in utils.php to “true” as below:

‘timed’ => array(’true’, ‘t’, ‘timed’),

but it’s not working – or did I read that bit wrongly (probably…)?

Thanks very much!

Hi Christian,

First: thank you for this great plugin.

Second: I need it for creating an animated slideshow in my theme. Now after activation of this plugin, when I want to create a new page or post, I do not get any of the visual editor icons in the empty post/page. When I deactivate smoothgallery, they are there again.

Is this due to a memory problem?

Did anyone experience the same phenomenon?

Cheers,
Heinz

@GEORGE:
Christian’s code worked fine for you from what I can tell. It changed the stripes on the side/bottom to ‘black’ — this is because the ‘#000′ in the code equals ‘black’ ‘#fff’ would be ‘white’, and ‘#777′ would be grey.

Please use this hex code reference chart to help you insert the proper code. It usually takes 6 digits, not 3.

@CHRISTIAN: Thanks so much the amazing work, I really appreciate you taking the time to answer questions about the widget. I was having the stripe problem as well, and this thread helped so much. It’s already made a lot of people happy. Rock on.

Christian,
I’ve found your advices to Debbie, so I have managed to “hide” scrollbars, but I have the same problem as the Debbie: the links are displayed inside iframe. So i followed your instructions and changed jd.gallery.js (using: target: ‘_blank’). But it didn’t help. I have checked the lines hundred times, I mean everything is correct, but the problem uis still here – I can’t open it in new window…

Hi Christian,
thanks a lot, now it’s much better. But still, stripes are here (only in black color), I hoped for some solution to remove them entirely… Anyway – thanks!!!

Hi George,
I’ll add an option to the widget that lets you change the background color of the iFrame; yes, the widget uses the iFrame – for many reasons – too.
In the meantime please open the file utils.php that comes with the plugin, go to line 313 and insert the following code:

$parameters['iframebgcolor'] = '#000';

Adjust the color code to suit your needs.
