 * Hello all,
 * I’m trying to use the excellent Next Gen Gallery with WP version 2.7 on two different
   installations, seperate servers, different templates. I’m getting interesting
   error messages, but no images working.
 * Here’s the first one, trying to insert a gallery using [nggallery id=1]
 * ————–
    Warning: Compilation failed: characters with values > 255 are not yet 
   supported in classes at offset 16 in /vhost/vhost6/v/e/r/versluis.com/www/blog/
   wp-includes/shortcodes.php on line 213 ————–
 * Another one, equally intigueing, inserting {imageflow id=1] and [slideshow id
   =1]
 * ——————

   in the server configuration in /vhost/vhost8/l/i/g/lightpaintings.net/www/wp-

 * continues for EVERY image in the gallery, you get the drift..
    ———————-
 * Please note that below 200 lines or error messages, both imageflow and slideshow
   actually SHOW UP.
 * Any ideas? I’m using WP 2.7, NGG 1.02 with Imageflow 1.1.

 * Don’t know about that first problem, but this will help for the getimagesize 
   problems with ImageFlow.
    On line 90 in lib/functions.php you’ll find following
   block of code:
 *     ```
       foreach ($pictures as $picture) {
           $image = $siteurl.'/'.$picture->path.'/'.$picture->filename;
           $size = getimagesize($image);
           $width = $size[0];
          $height = $size[1];
       ```
   
 * Change it so it looks like this:
 *     ```
       foreach ($pictures as $picture) {
           $image = $siteurl.'/'.$picture->path.'/'.$picture->filename;
           $img = 'ABSOLUTE PATH TO YOUR WP FOLDER/'.$picture->path.'/'.$picture->filename;
           $size = getimagesize($img);
           $width = $size[0];
          $height = $size[1];
       ```
   
 * You have to change ABSOLUTE PATH TO YOUR WP FOLDER, obviously, to something like
   this /www/htdocs/wordpress.
 * Shortly I will release a new version where this will be implemented, but it might
   still take a while. This should help in the meantime.
