Hi @dhobeika –
The short codes have changed (a lot), the documentation is a mess. The main documentation page says version 2.0, but then directs you to pages that are not 2.0 relevant like “albums”, “templates”, etc. It took me a few hours to figure this out.
That said, your shortcode should be working – it should be backwards compatible.
If you haven’t modified the template, you should be ok (and it’s better) using the new shortcode:
[ngg_images album_ids="1" display_type="photocrati-nextgen_basic_compact_album"]
That will display album one, change it to whatever. If that doesn’t work, this is the page you need to get some of the new shortcode information – there’s more stuff that’s not included but it’s the best we have now:
http://www.nextgen-gallery.com/nextgen-gallery-shortcodes/
(If you’re cutting and pasting from that page, be careful of curly-quotes, there are curly quotes at times which will throw errors in the shortcode.)
Hope this helps…
Thanks, the issue is that I want the page to display ALL my albums, not just one. I used to be able to use the valeu x as stated in my original post and that would show all albums.
I tried doing this and it didn’t work:
[ngg_images album_ids=”x” display_type=”photocrati-nextgen_basic_compact_album”]
Any suggestions?
@dhobeika: Based on your latest response, I think you are using album id=0 or album_ids=”0″. That is, you are using the 0 to display all albums, correct?
If so, unfortunately, that’s one of two known short codes that is NOT working with this update. It’s a known issue and we’re working on it. For now, you’d need to display an actual album you’ve created and added galleries to, rather than using the id=0 to generate a dynamic list of galleries that’s continuously updated.
@johnny_n: Thanks very much for jumping into to help. That’s a huge help to us and to others.
