LG version 0.12.0 now available
Admin, Comments, Features, Javascript Add comments0.12.0, jquery, slideshow
Today I have uploaded version 0.12.0 to the WordPress plugin repository.
The major new feature in this version is commenting on folders and images.
Instead of having all comments together for the whole gallery, Comments will only appear with the specific folder or image. But more things have been added and lots of things have changed. I fixed some bug along the way too.
This is the list of the changes:
- Added: Image captions in breadcrumb trail
- Added: Breadcrumb trail in browser title
- Added: Comments per image in Gallery
- Added: Comments per folder in Gallery
- Added: Edit Comments per Gallery, Folder or Image
- Added: Option to always link shortcodes to Gallery
- Added: Multiple Images in Random Image Widget
- Added: JQuery Slide Show
- Rework: Lazyest Gallery Admin Form (by Scott)
- Rework: Removed redundant code in lazyest-thumbs.php
- Rework: Changed slide’s write caption link to go to selected image in Lazyest Image manager
- Rework: Checkbox to Hide Folder in Folder Manager
- Rework: In Slideview, Write Caption is always on in admin mode
- Rework: Manage Gallery Structure now also shows Galery itself
- Rework: Security enhancement for deleting files in Lazyest File Manager
- Rework: Thumbnails in divs
- Bugfix: Fixed incorrectly showing of caption when lg_use_folder_captions was FALSE
- Bugfix: Disable Full Size Image Links
- Bugfix: Do not show folder icon as image
- Bugfix: Incorrect URL for images and widgets on Home page
- Bugfix: Incorrect handling of apostrophes in Folder Caption
Prerequisites:
- To enable comments, you have to have the line
<?php comments_template(); ?>
in the page template for your gallery. If you can’t find this line, please check single.php for the correct syntax and position.
Caveats:
- Copying folders by ftp will result in duplicate IDs. But in practice this is a minor problem because the images are duplicated too.
- JQuery Slideshow does not center images that are smaller than containing div.
When you activate this version, all image IDs will be reset and IDs will be assigned to folders. This could take some time if you have many folders and images
Hey Marcel, I am sorry but do you want me to rename the captions.xml file in all 40 folders?
Also I cant get your advice on “Be sure to add _vti_cnf to the Excluded Folders in Settings » Lazyest Gallery”. Please explain it little more.
I am sorry but I am a novice user and not having very much idea on website designing.
The only advice I can give is: rename or delete your captions.xml and see if you have any images with characters like & or > or < in the file name.
[edit] Tried to look at your site and it looks like Frontpage extensions have been installed.
Be sure to add
_vti_cnfto the Excluded Folders in Settings » Lazyest GalleryI am getting the following error on my gallery. I have the latest version installed. The error is “XML error: not well-formed (invalid token) at line 8″. I have almost 40 folders for images.
Please advice as what is the problem and how can I resolve the issue ASAP.
Thanks,
Nash
[...] bin, überzeugt hier die Featureliste mit vielen guten Ideen — wenn auch die niedrige Versionsnummer 0.12.0 zunächst ein wenig erschreckt. Neben einer Galerie als Leuchtkasten oder Diaschau gibt es auch ein [...]
Jay,
Something went wrong in one or more of yoru xml files. Could be an invalid filename (e.g. contains a
>or&).Rename those images.
Delete or rename the captions.xml files in your gallery.
You can download the previous version (0.11.2) here: http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/lazyest-gallery.0.11.2.zip
good luck
Just delete the files in wp-content/
I’m getting an error message:
“Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error
XML error: EntityRef: expecting ‘;’ at line 198″
It’s the first time an auto-update for a plugin has failed — how do I revert to an older version?
Hi Marcel,
i wrote the address in the form — no problem, please send the mail to “privat” @ my domain you checked.
i’m excited on the solution…
Regards, Thorsten.
I have checked your homepage and the path is not correct.
I’ll drop you an e-mail. Tried to send you an -email but apparently the e-mail address you left with your comments doesn’t exist.Hallo Marcel,
no, the path is correct…
Sometimes there is a “?files=” in the URI – when i delete it, it works in some cases too…
Please try it on my Homepage.
Yes i’ve read the very good instructions and it is not my first plugin — i think that the plugin does not understand the redirect…
(in email i can send more details)
Kind regards, T.
Thorsten, There is an error in your path to the gallery page. Is there a gallery page anyway?
Please follow the installation instructions on how to make such a page

(you have a gallery in a post. for previews you need a page for your gallery)
Hi Marcel,
thanx for the Plugin — but i’ve some troubles…
The random widget works and shows on click the large version (but only in combination with lightbox2 plugin).
But it is not possible to show a gallery — the path in the settings is correct, it works when i type in a complete path incl. a filename.
I don’t have a server, it is webspace and a redirect to a subfolder — might this be the problem? I use WP 2.6.5 and a lot of plugins without any problems.
Hope that there is a solution
Scott,
You can always take a copy of the Trunk to start testing.
In fact, I’m live testing 0.12.1 beta1 on this site. Do you see the slideshow in the sidebar?
Why testing on a live site? Because it’s the only way to test the interaction with spam filters like Akismet.
Awesome – great to hear Marcel. Let me know when its ready for testing.
@ hema sunder
0.12.1 will have a slide show widget.
And some fixes for correct counting of comments when comments are in omderation or set to spam.
Marcel – 0.12.0 is working great! Awesome job. I have my site upgraded now and I’m quite pleased with everything thus far…
Now, if I just had a slide show widget – I would be ecstatic.
idea of the plugin is great..
i have couple of questions
is it uses database?
any chance to upload from ftp?
what about for large gallery’s like a 1000 folders?
xml file is secured one?
what about search engine crawling?
Difference is mainly bug fixes, and the addition of the slideshow.
ok. its working now. thanks for the good work. what is the difference between RC1 and RC2 ?
The comments addition is nice. I did not understand where shall ii add the line you are suggesting, at the single.php or page.php?
