Tips and Tricks
- If you want icons to be displayed for any folders, just put inside the folder an image (jpg, gif or png) with same name as the folder.
- If you want folders to be displayed in your sidebar, use the LG List Folders widget, or add this line to your “sidebar.php”:
<?php if (function_exists(lg_list_folders)) lg_list_folders("title"); ?>
You can use whatever title you want. - If you want a random image to be displayed in your sidebar, use the LG Random Image widget, or add this line to your “sidebar.php”:
<?php if (function_exists(lg_random_image)) lg_random_image("title", count, "folder_name", true ); ?>
Where:- “title” = the title above your images
- count = the number of images e.g 4
- “foldername” = the name of the folder from where the images will be selected ( “” = all folders )
- true or false = include subfolders or not
- If you want to link an image in your post or page you can use this shortcode:
[lg_image folder="foldername" image="imagename.ext" align="value" width="value" height="value" caption="value"]
Where:- every atribute but “folder and image” are optional
- foldername: path to the folder, relative to the gallery directory
- align: could be left, right or center
- width and height: an integer value
- if caption is provided this will override the xml one
- If you want to show thumbnails for a folder in your post or page you can use this shortcode:
[lg_folder folder="foldername" count="value" cols="value" paging="value"]
Where:- every atribute but “folder and image” are optional
- foldername: path to the folder, relative to the gallery directory
- count: number of images to show
- cols: number of columns in display
- paging: either “true” or “false” show -next- and -prev- to show more images
- If you want to have a slideshow with images from one folder, you can use this shortcode
[lg_slideshow folder="foldername"]
Where:- foldername: path to the folder, relative to the gallery directory
- 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.
Just installed the WP plugin and am now trying to get the slideshow component to work.
Have jQuery 1.4.2 installed but “loading…” is all I see.
Please see:
http://global.goodwill.org/countries/photo-gallery/?file=main/&lg_show=true
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I have visited your site and I see in the source code that you actually load 4 different jquery versions. Also, the lazyest slideshow script does not get loaded.
perhaps you miss a statement in your footer.php see also comment http://brimosoft.nl/lazyest/comment-page-32/#comment-8961
Is there a way to hide the “Count Images” feature displayed below each image? I run a very large gallery, and having it count all the images in top level folders including their subfolders is quite the strain on the server. But if I have it only count the images in each folder, then the top level folders all say “0 Photos” which confuses visitors.
P.S. I love your gallery, and think it’s the best gallery ever. Of course I’ve been using it for all of three days, but just that long and it dethroned Gallery 2 which I’ve been using for years. Great plugin, thanks for making it!
you can hide the images count by adding
.lg_foldernum { display: none }to your style sheetI am using version 0.16.7 and by using the code [lg_slideshow folder="foldername"] in a page, I can’t get the slideshow. What I get is all of the images in the folder displayed at one time. I have slideshow enabled on the setup.
Any suggestions on how I can get the slideshow to work?
Hi Michelle,
It is probably a conflicting javascript. What other plugins do you use? Could you please share the url of your site?
Hi Marcel, I use ‘contact form 7′, ‘page links to’, ‘tiny mce advanced’ and ‘random image widget’ (I’d like a random image on a page rather than the sidebar, which is why I use this widget – is there anyway to use Lazyest to display a random image on a page?). I deleted the ‘random image widget’ and still no luck. I use the other plug ins on another website on the same server and Lazyest works perfectly, which is why it was my choice to use on this website.
The URL of the page is http://mirabeldobermans.com/current-dogs/tyson/ The random image widget has been DELETED (not just deactivated). The slideshow code I’m using is [lg_slideshow folder="random"]. When the page loads, it shows “Loading…” and then all of the photos are shown.
Hi Michelle,
The lazyest gallery javascripts do not get loaded in your theme. It probably lacks the call to the wordpress footer function. Please check if
<?php get_footer(); ?>is present in your theme’s footer.phpThanks. I checked footer.php and it is the same footer as the other website where Lazyest works perfectly, so I am at a loss.
Is there anyway to get one random image to show on a page using Lazyest?
The site where the slideshow works perfectly is http://rah4pets.com/
I have sent you an e-mail.

Mashal,
I don’t really inderstand your question.
You can make as much folders in the gallery as you want. Each will be displayed in the gallery as a separate link.
back again, why delete my post? ok wayne ..
my thumbs dont work, the folder “thumbs” is in the pic`s folder but he is empty, your answer was i should check for gd2 .. i have installed gd in version 2.0.36 on my opensuse 10 but no thumbs are created
mike,
It could be a memory issue in version 0.16.6. I’m working on it.

Hi Marcel, my site is not back yet, have u removed the pluginns?
Hi Many,
The plugin has been removed already. Maybe another plugin is in error.
The site went off only when i activated lazyest pluginns. it was workinkg before, is there any file being modified when activating lazyest pluginns?
Lazyest Gallery does not modify wordpress or other plugin files.
then plz help me to get my site back.
thanks
Please look at your error log.
It looks like you have to re-install wordpress.[25-Aug-2010 02:45:08] PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘=’ in /home1/ixtodayc/public_html/nribook/main/wp-includes/capabilities.php on line 1059
This is not a file that is in any way affected by Lazyest Gallery.
I also see a lot of errors from NextGEN Gallery Sidebar Widget.
You have installed many, possible conflicting, plugins.
Your problems have nothing to do with lazyest gallery.
Here ends my free support.
Hello,
When I use #5 under “Tips and Tricks” the heading displayed above the thumbnails in the post is the folder title. Is there a way I can have it display the folder caption instead, like it is when I navigate to the gallery of the folder? How?
thanks for the great plugin!
If yoy ommit the caption part, your folder caption will be used.
I am not sure exactly what you mean, but I am not using any caption value, just:
[lg_folder folder="folderpath/" count="value" cols="2" paging="value"]
