I have installed the nextgen buy now plugin.
The plugin was activated and i am able to add prices for the images and galleries.
However, when i view the gallery the buy now buttons are not visible.
I have spent hours trying to resolve this searching forums , blogs etc.
How do i get the buy now or add to cart features working?
What am i doing wrong?
Is there something i need to do extra?
Thanks

nazmul - I've figured out how to get the buy now buttons working. at first i was using the WP media manager to insert the images from the next gen galleries at first and when i did that, no buy now button. however, if i use the nextgen shortcodes directly (e.g. [singlepic=52] or [gallery=12] it seems to work fine.
also, don't add currency to the price fields (e.g. no $ signs or what have you) when you edit the price in the gallery.
I'm interested to know, though, if anyone has figured out how to make the Buy Now feature into a "add to cart" feature instead. I've been looking around a bit and haven't found anything yet. Anyone?

SHELLYD!!!!!
You've got this working? How?
I'm using Wordpress 2.7
Buy Now v1.1.0
Shopping Cart 3.6.12
I've tried downgrading WP to 2.6.5, but I get the "Sorry, NextGEN Buy now works only in combination with NextGEN Gallery" error message.
What versions of WP and Buy Now are you using?
Please help! Please e-mail a copy of the Buy Now plugin if you've got a version earlier than 1.0: aliblackwell@gmail.com (I've paid, don't worry!).
Many thanks,
Ali

Hey Ali -
i'm using the same setup you've got. I wish I could tell you what the magic secret was, but i don't know! the thing seems to be largely a mystery.
I installed and activated the shopping cart and the buy now plugins. As I mentioned above, it wasn't working for a bit, but then i realized that i needed to use the nextgen shortcodes themselves instead of inserting from the WP media manager. so long as my NGgallery items have a number in the price field, they show up.
that said, turns out this plugin was more than i needed - so I went with the quickshop plugin instead.
But I'm assuming you were able to activate both plugins... yes? Maybe it's a conflict with another plugin in your setup? Have you tried deactivating everything but ecommerce, buy now, and next gen to see if you can get it working then?

Shellyd,
Many thanks for your prompt reply. I installed quickshop in the end and fiddled with it so it now integrates with NextGen Gallery so I'm very happy.
I think the problem with BuyNow runs much deeper than anything I'm capable of fixing; the developers at Instinct really ought to release an update as lots of people seem to be waiting for one.
All the best,
Ali
