Hey guys, I was able to get it worked out, there’s two different ways I found using the slideshow gallery option.
Add your images to the slideshow gallery under the admin section.
then in your post or your page use the tinymce icon to open the pop up box, select the second option that says custom added slides, then insert
That will give you the following shortcode: [slideshow custom=true]
you can just copy and past that into your post if you prefer.
the other option is to drop the php into your templete where ever you want it to appear in your theme.
<?php if (class_exists(‘Gallery’)) { $Gallery = new Gallery(); $Gallery -> slideshow($output = true, $post_id = null); }; ?>
I got it working finally those ways, but the images and text would not appear in google chrome for some reason but was fine on all others that i tested.
cheers.

In reply to: network sites and main site pages dont appear (fresh install)@epickris, I had the same concerns as well.
I would suggest reading up more on apache directory security and or check out a book like “Apache Security” written by Ivan Rustic and published by O’Reilly. The AllowOverride has various settings that you can turn on or off, in this case, saying “All” turns all of them on and none of them are restricted. I would think it’s worth finding out more about each of those settings and then finding out which ones are actually needed and listing those individually rather than just saying “ALL”.
For example, (AllowOverride AuthConfig Indexes)
You can find out more at http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/core.html
A-ha, I get it. I see that now. So wordpress multisite will work in a directory as long as it all remains in said directory. So you can install it in html_public or html_public/blogs/ if you wanted, just as long as you have all aspects of wordpress installed in that sub folder like you would in the root folder. What will not work however is the stated option of having only a few important files on the root and then the extra files in a subdirectory in effect “splitting” the wordpress install if you are using a network configuration. Excellent, thank you!
So that helps me to really understand this all and that this plugin will work either way but may require patching if not on the direct root like the plugin probably expects!
shazam, Thanks Guy!
Thanks Mihai,
We have wordpress installed in a wordpress folder at the public_html root folder, so as such then this plugin will not work?
I am confused then, I thought that was a requirement for wordpress network as outlined in
Create_A_Network . “Giving WordPress its own directory will not work in WordPress 3.0 with multisite enabled.”Did I misunderstand that then and wordpress can in fact be installed as the root folder intself for a network install?
Thanks!!

In reply to: network sites and main site pages dont appear (fresh install)NVM! I played around with it and found out that (as noted in the apache notes) The First set is and should be to be a very restrictive set of features. I have AllowOverride None here.
Then the second set I mentioned I did note apache provided the following data; “
# Note that from this point forward you must specifically allow
# particular features to be enabled – so if something’s not working as
# you might expect, make sure that you have specifically enabled it
# below.It is in this zone that I have set AllowOverride All and we are good to go and the sites are working as expected. Thanks for the help.

In reply to: network sites and main site pages dont appear (fresh install)Yes, I think that’s what it was. I found that solution on the setting up a network page towards the end and it is working now, Thanks!
I am wondering though which of the two sections it should be changed at?
I did notice two different directories listed that offered a AllowOverride value to be set to all or none such as DocumentRoot and then I think there was one other section after that one that also had that option. Will both of them have to have that set or just one? Thanks!Hello,
I was looking at the text for the Domain Mapping plugin and it says it works with WP 3.0 as network. It also says that you can map sub-domains with the plugin such as http://www.techguys.com and macstuff.techguys.com. but reading over this thread it sounds like that is what Tib was trying to do but found out that it was not supported. Is this correct? I’m confused, because we were looking into doing this for our domain. We have 3.x installed as sub directories and we want to have just a few of the sub sites to have unique sub-domains but only just a couple of them out of the 30 something sites we plan to have running. Will Domain Mapping Plugin do this as described?
Thanks!
