@photocrati if it’s simply a matter of reverting lib\meta.php to the 1.9.10 state, wouldn’t that more than justify a 1.9.13 update? Rather than waiting 2+ months — or however long it will take for the new 2.0 to come out? Just saying, this is a documented issue that numerous users are experiencing, and developer relief would be appreciated sooner than later. Thanks for all you do!
And thanks @simon for all the helpful info!!

In reply to: [Haiku minimalist audio player] Hide MP3 File Link?Hi Johan, thanks for the response.
First, while it is certainly possible to use browser add-on or 3rd party programs to record any sound or video played on a site, the point is that the Haiku plugin displays the audio as a direct link to the source MP3 in the source code. That’s what seanpatrick and I are taking some issue with. Sure, grabbing our audio without such a link is POSSIBLE. We just don’t want to make it SUPER-EASY. That and a direct link will most certainly result in increased server load from folks not just using the link to download the song, but possibly share said link on other sites.
That said, thanks for the info about encoding the path on the server end. For those WP users who are not server admin gurus (I just barely qualify) is it possible for the plugin to obscure the MP3 path via a script?

In reply to: [Haiku minimalist audio player] Hide MP3 File Link?I too share this concern about the too easy-to-find MP3 path. Haiku is one of a handful of audio players that work on the iPhone/iPad platforms, so I’d prefer to stick with it, if only this issue can be resolved. Thanks!!
Thanks, Rob3rt. That’s why I was asking. Alternate to changing the plug-in’s files, is there a hook that can be placed in my functions.php file that would remove that info?
Thank, Rob3rt. Any way to do this that will survive NGG updates?
Rob3rt, I wanted to use the remove_action() function but don’t see the add_action(‘admin_init’ code in the latest version of NGG 1.9.11. Am I looking in the right place (/wp-content/plugins/nextgen-gallery/nggallery.php)? Or is that add_action no longer an option?
Thanks, terminalcity and kakohari for providing an at least temporary solution!
We can also edit the /nextgen-gallery/admin/templates/social_media_buttons.php file to
<? /* <div id="ngg_social_media"> <?php include('twitter_follow_link.php'); ?> <?php include('facebook_like_button.php'); ?> </div> */ ?>That also removes the enclosing div tag. Aside from the security issues, now the NGG portions of my WP admin actually load FASTER.
I’m amazed that Photocrati Media is risking their NextGen brand by not making display of the social code optional. I sure wish there were an update-safe way to do this using functions or hooks or some such snappy code. Anyone else come up with another solution?

In reply to: [Lightbox Plus Colorbox] Lightbox Plus not working on gallery since 3.5I can confirm that Lightbox in WP 3.5 appears messed up. I noticed this with my NextGenGallery that had been running fine prior to the latest WP upgrade. After going to 3.5 however, clicking on my thumbnails to popup a larger version resulted in the lightbox image appearing below and offscreen from what I was viewing! Since I was using the Lightbox2 plugin, I googled to see if there were any documented incompatibilities, but none to be found. Eventually I figured out to switch the NGG option to use Thickbox and Shutter, both of which worked, the latter better and closest to Lightbox2, but still not exact. Hoping that this helps someone smarter than I figure out what’s going on!
I agree that random would be great… Although my use would be to still specify one gallery, but mixup/randomize the display order each time the plugin is loaded, ie. [scrollGallery id=1]

In reply to: [Link to Post] [Plugin: Link to Post] Broken in WordPress 3.3Thanks, tgeorge. Nice to see that element of Link to Post included in the WP core. However, my most-valued function of Link to Post was generating links via page/post IDs. This allowed the flexibility of being able to change Permalinks without having to worry about pages on the site with links that need to be changed as well.

In reply to: [Link to Post] [Plugin: Link to Post] Broken in WordPress 3.3One of my “go-to” plugins, now non-functional under WP 3.3… Dang!
Any word from the developer?
Somehow I get the impression that “Mr. NextGen” (Alex) reviews my posts, even when he doesn’t acknowledge them. Why? Just one short month after my latest post bringing up the display issue in Firefox, NextGen v. 1.9.0 gets released which looks to have finally corrected it! Also added being able to have a custom “Gallery slug name” (other than “gallery”) — Fantastic!!
Now if only there were a setting to limit the number of words displayed in the Description column under “Manage Galleries”… 😉
Just applied the 1.8.4 upgrade. Now applying changes after searching images finally applies, correctly resulting in “Update successful” and revised content. Thanks!
However, the other two issues I’ve brought up still persist, so I’m opening a separate thread on them…
Still isn’t working, WordPress 3.2.1 + NGG 1.8.3. Maybe it’s my browser… FireFox 7 on MacOSX 10.4.11, though this was happening previously in FF6 as well. Any other complaints from FireFox users?
Also, the columns under “Manage Galleries” have been messed up for a few versions now… http://www.zoinksgraphics.com/images/Picture23.png
And finally, are there any plans to limit the number of words displayed in the Description column under “Manage Galleries”? My descriptions are quite long, and it’s difficult to navigate when it displays the entire thing.
Thanks again for a great plugin!!
Hey WebsiteDefender, thanks for listening! Just want to clarify what’s meant by “so the user can remove it anytime he wants”… By “the user” do you mean the site admin, ie. installers like bigbadboy and I? If not, will there be an overall option for the site admin to turn on/off the news feed for all other user levels? Otherwise, the admin_init solution I outlined above remains the best solution for my needs.
