Developing
Version numbering:
I have taken over from TwoKey at version 0.9.5. My work started at 0.9.5.1
I think the Gallery is not worth a 1.0 version yet. Too many things have to be done still.
Here is my numbering standard:
- 0.11.2.3: (fourth number) Used for minor revisons and bug fixes. Normally not noticed by user or blog visitor.
- 0.11.2: (third number) Used for small revisions. Could be noticed by user or blog visitor, but does not add new functionality. This could be a technology change like javascript driven slide pages. The slide page looks the same to the blog visitor but refresh is different.
- 0.12: (second number) Modal revision. Will be noticed by user or blog visitor. Adds new functionality to the gallery like comments on images.
- 1: (first number) Major revision. Combines all of the above. Something to be proud of.

Due to our french language, I’ve meet some problemes on some image file names.
I’ve fixed that with an external editor, with an encodage utf8 operation on captions.xml files.
I’ve request to users to don’t use special caracteres for file names, if a fix could be find, that will be cool. It’s a great easy to use gallery. Congratulation for it !
Laurent
is there any way to sort by date but in descending order? I’ve looked around but couldn’t find a way. I see that you can manually arrange stuff, but all of the new files seem to end up on the bottom of the list, and it’s a pain to have to drag each photo up to the top. Any help is greatly appreciated
sort by date in ascending order is not yet possible, sorry
Hi and thank you for this very useful plugin.
I was trying to configure it for several days and tried almost every combination of settings to have comments per photo work. I think every tip from the guides was performed – still no result. The comments won’t apear after pressing submit button. Please, help:)
Hi Meister,
I tried to test it at your site, but couldn’t because one has to be logged in to comment.
Maybe there is something wrong in your theme. The footer seems to be out of place.
I didn’t change anything in the theme – it is translated default theme. Switching off LG plugin fixes the footer misplacement. I’ve found that installing it back makes one tag disappear. If interested, please refer to these screenshots http://huminf.tsu.ru/wordpress/?p=77&cpage=1&file=issues%2F
By the way, I tried another theme and comments started to appear:)But most of the themes having this issue (see the current one)
1.Do you have any list of themes that are preferable to use with this plugin?
2. How do I fix this bug in my theme?
3. How do I write a message in my blog, where only one gallery thumbnails are shown?(as if I have clicked on one of the galleries, which appear when I write [lg_gallery] shortcode)
Hi Meister,
1) I’ll check the plugin for a bug in the comments template
2) See above
3) you could use the
[lg_folder ]shortcode plz see the lazyest page
