    That’s it … Have fun

    Faq

    When I try to activate the plugin I get the message : “Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.”
    This problem could happened if you have a low memorylimit in your php environment and a lot of plugins installed. For a simple test deactivate all other plugins and try then to activate Flash Album Gallery again.

    I get the message “Fatal error: Allowed memory size of xxx bytes exhausted” or get the “Error: Exceed Memory limit.”. What does this means ?
    This problem could happened if you have a low memorylimit in your php environment or you have a very large image (resolution, not size). The memory limit sets the maximum amount of memory in bytes that a script is allowed to allocate. You can either lower the resolution of your images or increase the PHP Memory limit (via iniset, php.ini or htaccess). If you didn’t know how to do that, please contact your web hoster.

    Read as startup http://codeasily.com/wordpress-plugins/flash-album-gallery/flag-review/

    When writing a page/post, you can use the follow shortcode:

    [album gid=x name=”Album_Name” w=width h=height] – (example: [album gid=1,3,5,6 name=”New Year 2009″ w=100% h=400] )

    Comment Rating

    October 15th, 2009 No comments

    Table of contents

    Description

    If you’re tired of approving readers’ comments on your blog, stop doing that and let your readers decide which comment deserves to be shown. If you’re getting outrageous comments on your blog, don’t get too angry yet. Let’s see how many readers feel the same. You can do these two tasks with the Comment Rating plugin.

    This plugin automatically embeds clickable images in comments. It uses simple AJAX javascript to allow your visitors rate comments in Like vs. Dislike fashion. The votes are displayed along with the comments. The up or down vote counters will change rightaway after the visitor casts a vote and the images change from color to grey indicating the vote has been accepted.

    To prevent cheating, only one vote is allowed per IP address. This is less subject to manipulation than cookie based approaches. The author of a comment cannot rate his/her own comment.

    New in version 2.3/2.4: Poorly rated comments (too many Dislikes, not enough Likes) can be hidden in a click-to-see link, just like those on Digg. The threshholds for the rating is configurable. This way, comments from trolls and “bad guys” will be hidden by default for anyone who doesn’t want to see them, with the option to read the comment if they really want to. Formatting of the hidden comments can be customized.

    Highly-rated comments can also be displayed differently. The default styling is to highlight them. You can customize it e.g. in a different font.

    Thanks to Jean-Paul Horn and many other users for ideas and suggestions.

    This plugin also allows other use of Wordpress as a general CMS in a Web 2.0 fashion. User generated content can be rated by other users. Such an example website is Caption Wit.

    The design principle of the plugin is simple and light-weight (i.e. high performance). It’s also wp-cache and wp-super-cache friendly.

    Comment Rating plugin built on top of Alex Bailey’s discontinued Comment Karma.

    Settings

    You can configure the options under Setting -> Comment Rating. The default options should be good enough. It works out of box. You are done. Sit back and have a look at your blog.

    Faq

    Please see Comment Rating plugin FAQ.

    I installed everything, but I don’t see any images. What am I doing wrong?
    Check if you have uploaded reflect.php to your Wordpress root folder (the directory where your wp-config.php file is in). We’ve already done this for you.

    Anything else I should know?
    Well, now you can use a reflection with any image on your blog that is not part of your NextGEN Gallery. Instead of referencing the URL of your image you can now write something like this: src=”path/to/WP-root-folder/reflect2.php?img=relative/path/to/image.jpg&bgc=ffffff” src=”http://blueorbs.com/reflect2.php?img=relative/path/to/image.jpg&bgc=ffffff”.

    NextGEN Gallery Sidebar Widget

    August 25th, 2009 Comments off

    Table of contents

    Description


    The NextGEN widgets only allow showing of single images, I needed a solution to show links to galleries, so I wrote this widget. The widget lets you specify the following parameters
    • Maximum Galleries: the number of galleries you want to show
    • Gallery Order: you can select random, date added ascending or date added descending
    • Gallery Thumbnail: which image should be taken as thumbail in the sidebar (preview set in NGG, first or random image)
    • AutoThumb parameters: if you got AutoThumb installed, the widget will use its functions to resize the image to your needs. Use a string like w=80&h=80&zc=1 here to show 80×80 square thumbnails.
    • Output width/height: if you don’t use AutoThumb, the plugin will set the HTML attributes width & height.
    • Default Link Id: the widget assumes that you set up pages for each gallery and link the gallery to that page (you can use the NGG Gallery Editor to do this). If a gallery has no link set, it will use the default link (id of a page or post).

    Installation

    1. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress. No need since we will activate the plugin for you.
    2. Use the widget in the widget editor.
