[Plugin: NextGEN Gallery] Slideshow not loading in IE7

    I’m having an issue with the NextGen Gallery Slideshow widget in IE7. The slideshow loads fine in all browsers I have tested except in IE7 it gets stuck just displaying loader.gif.

    Oddly enough, it does load SOMETIMES, but most of the time it’s just loader.gif spinning away.

    Here is my site: http://islandrobot.com/advantwp/

    I use the slideshow as my main rotating banner. If it loads for you, just try refreshing, it will break.

    Also, the loader.gif isn’t vertically centred in IE7 either :/

    [Don’t bump!]

    Ok it seems to be an inherent problem in NextGen Gallery and not something wrong with my particular setup. In that case, are there any functions that I can use to generate a list of images from a particular gallery? I could then just set up the slideshow manually with jQuery Cycle.

    I had issues with NextGen Gallery as well and got feed up trying to solve it. I switched and went to Grand Flash Album Gallery and it is simple.

    There is no more having to assign a page to each gallery or album, which is simply a maintenance nightmare.

    The interface is very easy to use and met my needs well.

    Thanks royoel, but I managed to finally get my issue sorted.

    I was able to call a gallery shortcode from within my theme template like this:

    <?php echo do_shortcode('[nggallery id=2 template=frontpage]'); ?>

    Note the template=frontpage. This is for using custom NextGEN templates. I used a custom template to output the full sized, unlinked images as explained in this thread. Finally I added the javascript to my header to apply the Cycle fade effects:

    <script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
	jQuery('div.banner').cycle({
		fx:    'fade',
		speed:  1000,
		timeout: 10000
	 });
 });
 </script>
