   Hi, I can't drag and drop a gallery to an album, and because of that when I write [album=1, extend] in a page, it does not display the album.
   Anybody knows how to do it?

   Thanks for your help

   Sergi, If you have already created the album by using the "album" tab in the gallery dashboard, then you should be able to select it using the drop-down menu in that same tab. The galleries that have not been allocated to albums will appear in the pane on the right. You should be able to drag them from there and drop them in the album pane, on the left. Make sure that you click the "update" button at the top, after you have dragged the gallery over, or it will not save. --Jake

   Hi Jake
   I am sorry, but I can't. I just can create the Album but then I can't move galleries into it and either press "show all", "maximze" or "minimize"
   Any idea?

   Thanks
   Sergi

   Have you tried with another browser? In any case it should be [album=1,extend] without any space after the comma.

   I've tried with Safari, Firefox and Explorer7 and I couldn't do it. When I try to drag gallery box appears a hand or a cross (depending of the browser) but it's like when you select text without moving a thing.Is there another way of putting a gallery into a album?
   I'd like to show thumbs in a page...

   thanks for your help!

   Hmmm, that does sound annoying. I don't know of another way to allocate a gallery to an album. But, if all you are trying to do is display the thumbs on a page, you don't need to put the gallery in an album. You can just use [gallery=id] instead of [album=id,extend].

   Very annoying.
   I tried just with IE7 and FF and I've experienced the same problem.
   I do need albums, but there is no way to have them working. :(

   Finally I put galleries instead of albums, but I'll keep trying to use albums, if I find out how I'll tell you...

   Good luck!

   Do you get any JS error when you try to drag & drop the galleries ?

    Hi, Guys...

    I've got the same problem. No JS-errors. All other management things doin' OK - even widgets which I think running similar way.
    Instead of drag&drop cursor is highlighting the text. [Maximize], [Minimize], [Show all] and [-] buttons don't work either.
    Browser: FireFox 3.0, Latest Java installed.

    Are you sure that javascript is activated ? (look in your FF3 settings)

    Yeah... I've checked it: Java is enabled and JS is allowed. I've also checked my anti-spyware and firewall programs and everything seems to be fine. Besides some webpages which I'm sure that they use JS working properly.

    Maybe this is any ajax incompability? I once tried a sociable plugin (don't remember which one it was) where you could drag and drop the social bookmarks you want to use and activate. There I had the same problem that I couldn't drag and drop anything. Never experienced this problem with nextgen gallery albums though but I know what you are talking of ... I know it can happen.

    You're right!! It's the plugin!! I turned off plugins one by one and it looks like "Position Yourself" was guilty.
    Thanks a lot!!
    Have a nice day/night (you pick).. :)

    PS It's also known as "Google Positioner".

    Added another plugin that makes gallery sticky = FeedWordPress.
    Disable it and drag-and-drop will be functioning.

    I have the same problem as sergiselvas when trying to drag the gallery into an album. Nothing moves. I am running wp 2.6. I have deleted all the plugins except NextGEN - no difference. I have tried setting WPLANG to 'en' - no difference. I have flushed my cache numerous times - no difference. I have deleted both wp-admin and wp-includes and refreshed from my local machine - no difference. I do not have this problem on my local machine.
    I noticed one difference in Firebug between the Album html on my local machine vs the web server. On my local machine I have <div id="tTips">... and <div id="dragHelper" ... My web server does not! This code appears to play a role when dragging a gallery as Firebug
    highlights <div id="dragHelper"...

    What is tTips and dragHelper used for? What causes them to be dropped on the web server? Has anyone else noticed this before? These div ids are found in interface.js and jquery.js

    Hi I have created an album named "Album" and I am able to drag gallery into the album but when I am trying this [album=1,extend] on a page dispalys nothing on the page means returns same [album=1,extend]. and how can I know the id means whether it will be 1 or 2 or 3. one more thing when I am adding gallary to page using [gallery id=1] it shows the gallery icon but on the page no image is coming.

    Hi! Same problem here. The drag and drop function was working very well in wp 2.5. After the 2.7 upgrade, it's working no more. We can't add new albums to the gallery now.

    I have "Position Yourself" plugin and deactivated it but no luck, I have also deactivated all other plugins but still does not work.

    A workaround that I thought was to manually add the new album via db side, but still can't get it work. Would anyone here knows? TIA!

    I've had the same problem; i deactivated all the plugins but it didn't work.I think i did it al: desactivating plugins, upgrading, unistalling, reinstalling nextGen galley and still can't drag and drop.
    Before giving up a tried one last thing: changing my theme (it was the last thing because i've invested many time changing it); well, that worked! I'm at this moment draggin my gallerys into new albums. Later i'll revert to my previous theme hoping the galley works fine. If i have success i'm thinking of creating a custom "under building" just to use when i need to upload photos and change albums; stop using nextGen is not an option!

    Ps: Sorry my english...

    For any other poor soul that runs into this annoying phenomenon, the Use Google Library Javascript plugin is incompatible with NextGENGallery. :)

    fyi.. Another plugin that disables the drag and drop for creating albums is Bind User to Category

    I had the same problem as upnsadmin described. Asked my hosting-provider about it and he found out that the trouble was with wp-includes/js/jquery/ui.core.js file - it contains "core" so the system mistook it for memory dump. you need to check your server http.conf policy about files with "core" in name and search for something like

    <IfModule mod_authz_host.c>
    <Files ~ "^\.ht">
    Order allow,deny
    Deny from all
    </Files>
    <Files ~ ".*\.core">
    Order allow,deny
    Deny from all
    </Files>
    </ifmodule>

    so you need to add $ in the ".*\.core" template - ".*\.core$"

    ... or you can simply rename ui.core.js for something neutral and change the links in plugin's files.
