Aesqe

I’ve fixed this in v1.7.4.1, should be fine now. Please try it out when you can.

And thanks for the nice comments 🙂 If you have any further suggestions for improvement or patches, etc., please do post them here.

In case you meant the media listing page, then “file_gallery_media_custom_column” function found in “file-gallery.php” could be causing the problem, because it reads media tags for each attachment on the page. But unless you’re listing all 10k attachments on a single page, I don’t see how that would cause any server overload.

You can turn off displaying of media tags on the media listing page by going to media options and unchecking the “Display media tags for attachments in media library?” checkbox (section “Edit screens options”).

My best guess would be that some other javascript is throwing an error.

Pleas try activating one of the default themes (Twenty Ten, for example), and see if it works then.

@francesco: do you have any suggestion on how this should be implemented?

Maybe like this:

1. File Gallery creates a new capability, let’s say ‘can_use_file_gallery’
2. this capability is then assigned to administrators, editors and authors by default
3. on the settings screen, there would be another block of options for choosing which roles should have File Gallery metabox enabled

How does that sound? I’ll put it on my todo list 😉

@pinkgarden: have you added “thickbox” to the list of auto-enqueued lightboxes on the Media settings screen?

Any chance you could you post a link to a non-working example on your website?

@tharpa.osang: sorry for your troubles, but please tell me: did the plugin update fail when updating it as a single plugin, was it a batch update of plugins, or did you update WordPress?

If you could paste here the exact text of the error, that would help me a lot.

If you have access to your FTP, there should be a file named “.maintenance” in your WordPress folder – just delete it and try logging in. See here, last two paragraphs in section, for more info: http://codex.wordpress.org/Updating_WordPress#Automatic_Update

Please let me know if you’ve been able to fix this.

@gstricklind: the problem is with your theme’s “main.js” file, in which it is hardcoded that all gallery links get a ‘lightbox[group]’ rel value.

I’m afraid there’s nothing File Gallery can do about that.

To fix this, you should change the code in your theme’s “/js/main.js” file from this:

// sets the lightbox
$(".gallery a").each(function(){
	$(this).attr("rel", "lightbox[group]");
});

to this:

// sets the lightbox
$(".gallery a").each(function(){
	var post_id = $(this).parents(".post").attr("id").replace("post-", ""),
		gallery_id = $(this).parents(".gallery").attr("id").replace("gallery-", "");

	$(this).attr("rel", "lightbox[group-" + post_id + "-" + gallery_id + "]");
});

that way, each gallery will have a unique rel value and they will not mix.
