Gallery type switching glitch
-
I am writing this report here because I have not renewed my membership for NG – Plus.
When switching from NG Gallery Mosaic type to NG Gallery Masonry style the switch often fails if it was inserted before a certain time (I think). The current code for the Mosaic looks like:
After the switch to the Masonry type, it changes to:
[ngg_images source=”galleries” container_ids=”407″ display_type=”photocrati-nextgen_pro_masonry” size=”140″ padding=”5″ ngg_triggers_display=”always” captions_enabled=”0″ captions_display_sharing=”1″ captions_display_title=”1″ captions_display_description=”1″ captions_animation=”slideup” ID=”15595″ post_category=”0″ order_by=”sortorder” order_direction=”ASC” returns=”included” maximum_entity_count=”500″]
Note that the type correctly shows as pro_masonry but the gallery displays as pro_mosaic. If I try to change the gallery type in the visual editor it still jumps to Pro Mosaic although the code shows Pro Masonry. A newly inserted Pro Masonry gallery code looks like:
[ngg_images source=”galleries” container_ids=”407″ display_type=”photocrati-nextgen_pro_masonry” size=”140″ padding=”5″ ngg_triggers_display=”always” captions_enabled=”0″ captions_display_sharing=”1″ captions_display_title=”1″ captions_display_description=”1″ captions_animation=”slideup” order_by=”sortorder” order_direction=”ASC” returns=”included” maximum_entity_count=”500″]
The difference is the code that was left behind in the switch in the first block:
ID=”15595″ post_category=”0″
Which apparently prevents the type from switching. If I delete that remnant all is good. Of course, I can delete the entire wrong gallery and start over, but I have to check the name of the gallery and then delete the wrong type.
I thought you might want to know. I am writing this not expecting a direct answer here as I understand the forum rules may not allow that. Just for your info, or you may write to me directly if I could provide more information.
