Hi there, i haven’t followed the advised steps for error reporting, simply because i don’t know if i actually have an error, so i just wanted to ask a few questions and attempt to solve myself.

Basically i have NG & NextGen FB installed. I have Galleries organised inside albums and albums embedded in pages using shortcode like so [nggalbum id=1 template=minimalsm]
I then use the sharing functions for images, built in to FooBox, which works fine.

My problem exists with trying to share an album or gallery link
http://ourniteout.com/box/
http://ourniteout.com/box/gallery/box/6th-november-2011/

Currently it shares my default image, which is 524 x 524. However if i deactivate the default image, it shares an image from the slider. The FB linter tells me that the Album image is too small and must be 200 x 200.

It is totally impossible for me to re-create all my images to be 200 x 200 as it would actually mean they would need to be nearly 300px wide to have a minimum of 200 whilst maintaining aspect ratio. This would totally mess up my design. NOT YOUR PROBLEM THOUGH.

So my question is this .. I can probably set a hidden featured image to get around the Album Page but the gallery page is created dynamically, so that won’t be possible is there any way i can get it to read the large image link in the href like below ?

<img title=”IMG_6551″ alt=”IMG_6551″ src=”http://ourniteout.com//wp-content/gallery/Box/6th November 2011/thumbs/thumbs_IMG_6551.JPG” width=”164″ height=”119″>

Lon winded question i know, but i just wanted to provide as much insight as possible.
Thanks

NGFB *should* be picking up your Gallry pictures, but for some reason it’s not… For example, on this page http://ourniteout.com/box/gallery/box/13th-august-2011/ the HTML for the gallery includes:
```
<div id="ngg-image-1204" class="ngg-gallery-thumbnail-box"  >
		<div class="ngg-gallery-thumbnail" >
			<center><a href="http://ourniteout.com//wp-content/gallery/Box/13th August 2011/IMG_0080 _800x600_.JPG" title=" "  >
								<img title="IMG_0080 _800x600_" alt="IMG_0080 _800x600_" src="http://ourniteout.com//wp-content/gallery/Box/13th August 2011/thumbs/thumbs_IMG_0080 _800x600_.JPG" width="164" height="109" />
							</a></center>
		</div>
	</div>
```
NGFB looks for a <div id="ngg-image-#"> tag, so it *should* be picking up those images…

As a first step, could you add the following to your wp-config.php file?
```
define('NGFB_DEBUG', true);
```
After you’ve done that, I’ll have a look at the source again and hopefully get more information on where the problem might be…

Thanks,

It might be causing a problem – you’ll have to remove it.

I had already made a few changes to the debug output in the DEV version — in the current PROD version, it seems the debug messages might be printed too early for PHP etc. Would you mind installing the DEV version from http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/nextgen-facebook.zip and re-enabling the NGFB_DEBUG constant again? 🙂

You can turn it off – I got the debug messages. Let me get back to you after I’ve had a chance to look at it.

Thanks,

I’ve made a few more changes, which should make the debug output more PHP friendly – and not break anything. 😉 I’ve also added extra debug messages to try and pin-point the problem. Would you mind installing the latest DEV version and turning on NGFB_DEBUG again?

Thanks,

Looks like I need to add even more debug info. 😉 For some reason, the plugin skips straight to the default image. I need to figure out why… I’m wondering if it’s a content rendering thing… Anyway, download and install the latest DEV version at http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/nextgen-facebook.zip, and turn on NGFB_DEBUG again.

Thanks!
