    How do I download the New Simple Gallery plugin? Searched for on WP Plugins, but could not find. I love youur plugins BTW.

  2. Kristy says:

    I don’t understand how to add images to the file. Where do I find the XML file you are talking about. I am excited to use this plugin! Please help! :)

    • Admin says:

      Hi kristy, you can find the XML files in the plugin folder.

      wp-content/plugin/new-simple-gallery/

      • Jamie says:

        i’m in that folder but don’t understand how to add images can you tell me how to put my images into this gallery and where to find the already loaded ones so i can delete them?

        • admin says:

          Take the XML files “new-simple-gallery.xml” from the directory and open it in the editor, then you can find the procedure, in the XML file, each image have 4 nodes, 1.image path, 2. description, 3. target, 4. link,

          u can add/delete/update that XML nodes.

          • Jamie says:

            So I will need an xml editor program and need to learn how to use it in order to change these nodes, correct? So sorry to bother you with what may seem like stupid questions. I’m teaching myself how to build my site on my own through forums and youtube tutorials. I apologize in advance but love your plugin and appreciate all your helpand speedy response.

          • Jamie says:

            btw, this isn’t something i can do directly from the ftp client, wordpress admin page/s or style sheets right?

  3. Kristy says:

    Okay, I think I understand. I guess I have to have uploaded the images somewhere else already and then copy and paste the location into the XML file?

  4. Kristy says:

    I changed the images, but I can’t change the size. The slide show is 200×200 and I want it 600×300. I changed the settings in the wordpress plug in place, but it doesn’t change anything.

  5. Kathy Striebel says:

    Great Plugin!
    How can I get the slide show to start automatically
    and
    How can I disable the mouse-over navigation (start/pause) features.
    Cheers.
    Kathy

  6. Dan S says:

    I have the images stored on my site, I can get to them via a simple web browser.

    What is confusing is all the tags and info in the xml file.

    I have an xml file editor, but what lines are needed at the beginning and then at the end.

    I assume i should be able to copy the middle section over and over again for each picture.

    Sorry, this probably seems like a silly question.
    Dan

  7. Linda F says:

    This looks like a great plugin, thanks!

    Is there a limit to the number of images it will handle?

    I will have several hundred that I’d like to rotate. I started adding them to the xml file, then the thought occurred to me that there could be a limit.

  8. Kathy Striebel says:

    I’m confused, because the plugin in the sidebar DOES NOT start rotating automatically….

  9. David says:

    This great plugin is not working for me.

    Patches and links are o’key but plugin in the sidebar DOES NOT start rotating automatically.

    I have black screen and so on… any solutions?

  10. Eivind says:

    Works great and looks great on my test site, but if I set cycles to 0 then it won’t autostart. If I set it to 1 or any other value it does. Any solution?

    • admin says:

      If you put cycle = 0 in the setting page, its manual start. so for auto play slide show make it 1 or more.

      • Eivind says:

        Ok. Wanted it to cycle endlessly. But I just set it to 9999999999 cycles and it works as a charm. Great looking slideshow. Smooth and light! Thanks!

  12. Sleenie says:

    First…let me say yu have some great plug-ins! I have managed to get my photos loaded. But for some reason I cannot change the size. I’m using this on a page, not a sidebar.

    Below is the code I placed on the page. (I noticed in the setting area it said it wasn’t for posts or pages)

    [new-simple-gallery=filename=new-simple-gallery.xml&width=450&height=350]

    Is the file name correct? I know I changed it since I didn’t have one that matched yours.

    I’m also wondering how I would go about adding multiple galleries for multiple pages?

    One last thing…I don’t see a donate button anywhere?

    Thanks

  13. Sleenie says:

    I’m continuing to try different things. I’ve created a new folder and called it450x350 since that is the size I’m work with. I’ve then edited the file and place my absolute url path in there such as:

    http://www.xxxxxxxxxxxx.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Sign21.jpg

    I do get the pictures but they remain in the 200×200 size.

    What I’ve pasted on the page is:

    [new-simple-gallery=filename=450x350.xml&width=450&height=350]

    I’m running WP 3.01

    When I was testing early on I had the right size but was using your photos. They actually came up initially at 200×200 but when I refreshed they were fine. When I edited and changed them to mine, that’s when things went wrong.

    I know I must be missing something very simple.

    • Kellijean says:

      Hi – I am having the SAME problem – I have changed the code to read:: [new-simple-gallery=filename=500x500.xml&width=500&height=500]

      and no matter ho many times I update the gallery is still 200×200

      please help. I am running WP 3.0.1

      thank you

  16. DM says:

    Is there a specific reason why this plugin would not show up on Word Press created Pages? The plugin works fine on the posts page, but when I navigate to a Word Press page, it does not appear.

    I have implemented the plugin as a widget and the documentation is not clear on where to paste the php function. I have tried placing it in my theme’s sidebar.php, and page-with-sidebar.php files with no luck.

    Thanks in advance for your response.

  17. Mathman says:

    Hi there

    Can I be able to use New Simple Gallery as a header in a website (not a blog)

  18. Justin says:

    I have a question that can it automatically get the

    images or gallery which I insert to the post, and word

    with different images for different posts?

  19. Justin says:

    I mean “work with different images for different posts”

  20. John says:

    How can I set different pictures on different pages? I don’t want the same pictures throughout the whole website.

  21. John says:

    How can I set different pictures on different pages? I don’t want the same pictures throughout the whole website. Also, how do I change the size? I need to change it from the 600×400 to 600×300. I have tried everything. Changing it in the XML, PHP…nothing works.

    • Gopi R says:

      Use different XML file for each page…

      [new-simple-gallery=filename=450x350.xml&width=450&height=350]

      in the keyword itself u have option to update the size of the galley.

  22. VizFact says:

    I am actually trying to use the damn thing on about 3 websites, I cannot find away to make the images link to pages or posts, I am trying to put it on the home pages as like a media directory.

    Hmm, I found the XML file, I hope future updates will prevent me from having to go through the hassles of dealing the XML, I guess I am drag and drop spoiled. It seems to be smooth though.

  23. VizFact says:

    Step 1 – get media file urls
    Step 2 – copy them
    Step 3 – get links to pages where you want the image to link to.
    Step 4 – Copy Them
    Step 5 – Open the XML File, pasteall the updates, and write in descriptions,

    ok, I am being sarcastic, I have been using a crappy plug-in called “slideshow gallery” , it sucks, but it is soo easy to work with that I have kept it.

    Anyway, please check it out and implement some type of drag and drop mechanism for adding pictures+links, because for constantly updated sites like all of mine this awesome plug-in is nothing more than a hassle.

    But I will say if I just had to update it (the slideshow) one time, It would be perfect.

    I am fan, but a mad fan. Because I want to use it, but it is going to end up being too much extra work.

  24. VizFact says:

    Excuse me, I have another rant, just thinking of collecting media file urls is giving me a headache…lol, it aint that bad, thanks for the plug-in, but please- make it “easier” for constantly updated websites, if possible admin,

  25. Sam says:

    Gopi,

    Please explain where to edit the .js to force the slideshow to autoplay.

    Thanks.

  26. John Aitken says:

    Hi sorry to be super think but when I try to find the pictures to change or upload new ones in the folder I just get sent to my web site with error 404.. where do I find the folder..?

    http://www.website.com/wp-content/plugin/new-simple-gallery/

    • Gopi R says:

      its XML based slid-show, just open the XML file(its available in the plugin folder ie your below mentioned path is correct).

      1. Just upload image anywhere.
      2. Download the XML from directory.
      3. add the image path into XML file
      4. upload the updated XML file into directory.
      5 Refresh front end, thats it over.

  27. Evelyn says:

    love the slideshow, but would like to add a second one to the same blog page.
    I renamed the xml file by adding a ’1′.

    what else and where do i have to make additional changes?

    thanks

    Where can I find documentation on the format of the XML file? I have looked at the default “new-simple-gallery.xml” file and am trying to discern what the available tags are (e.g., “”, “”, “”, “”, etc.) and what values and formats are expeccted.

    It looks to be an excellent plugin and I am excited about the prospect of getting it running on my site.

  31. Rebecca says:

    This is a fantastic plugin, but took a bit to get going.

    I had to add a tag to the end of every link line or I would get errors and no images.

    To Bro. Chris

    *Path is the full path of the image location on your server.
    *Title is the name you want to show over the image when a user mouses over.
    *Link is the URL you want the image to open if it is clicked on.
    *Target is where you want the link to open. If you want to open a new window use “_new”. If you want to open in the same window use “_top”.

  35. Ian says:

    When I install this plug in all I get is a black box with no images. I have tried adjusting the settings but I am getting nowhere. The same happens with your related plugins. Although with the horizontal slideshow it just said that the image was undefined. Any suggestions to help please?

  41. Betty Walker says:

    How do I turn off the black border around the photos? I don’t want to have any border showing.

  42. Sleenie says:

    Thanks..I finally got back to this plug-in and have it working. Thankfully it works in IE also..been having major issues with that as of late.

    Can I have more than one gallery? Different page, different photos and different size.

    If so, what would the naming convention be?

    It works beautifully! Thanks for you hard work.

  43. Sleenie says:

    It isn’t working for me to get a second gallery working the way the first one did. Is it possible? I may be missing something..

  44. IG Webs says:

    Hi, I love your plugin but like Betty Walker I like to get rid of the black border or actually the black backgoround or at least be able to change the size of the background to match the size of the pictures.
    Thanks

  45. Danny says:

    Great plugin, Downloaded a few hours ago and am running a slide show. One problem though, I need to centre align the slideshow in my page / posts. Where and what should I modify.

    Thanks
    Danny

    • Admin says:


      function nsg_widget($args)
      {
      extract($args);
      echo $before_widget . $before_title;
      echo get_option('nsg_title');
      echo $after_title;
      nsg_show();
      echo $after_widget;
      }

      find above function in the new-simple-gallery.php file, and add the center align, see below.


      add "nsg_show();" this line with in one div tag and make that div text-align equal to center.

  46. Ankit says:

    My menu drop down goes behind the plugin. What to do?

  47. Frank says:

    Here’s what I have learned installing this plugin. Hopefully it will make more sense to some folks:

    Pictures are FTP’d into a folder (e.g. wp-content/upolads/pluginimages)

    I named mine ABCD0001.jpg, ABCD0002.jpg, etc just to make it easy.

    Edit the file /wp-content/plugins/new-simple-gallery/new-simple-gallery.xml
    (you can use a text editor or whatever.)

    for each image, you have these lines of code:

    http://mywebsite.com/wp-content/uploads/pluginimages/ABCD0001.jpg
    _new
    Title you want to appear on mouseover
    #

    in this example, I don’t have a link for this picture.
    For each picture repeat this code, just changing the picture file name and title if need be.

    In my WordPress page, I just pasted this code:

    [new-simple-gallery=filename=new-simple-gallery.xml&width=600&height=400]

    you can make other adjustments in the plugin Settings from the WP dashboard. Otherwise, it works great.

    If anyone can tell me how to:
    1) center the Title
    2) Make title always on (not just mouseover)

    I would greatly appreciate it

  48. Frank says:

    sorry..the example code I just posted didn’t appear correctly.

    Here’s what it should look like

  49. Trista says:

    The plugin is really easy to use but it is conflicting with my drop-down menus and causing it not to drop down from the top navigation.

    Seems like your jquery-1.2.6.pack.js is conflicting with my http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.3/jquery.min.js

    Please let me know how to resolve this. I would love to use your plugin but need to have drop-down in the navigation. Thank you.

  50. Todd says:

    Two solutions in one. For the drop down menu hiding behind the image and for getting the gallery centered, I did this:
    I put the gallery php code inside of two layers of div tags. (the javascript needs absolute position which sticks it upper right) —

    so the first outer div positions things on your page. then use CSS and give the inner div a width:500px; and margin:auto; auto margin will center that div inside the other div but needs a width to work. then using CSS for the menu I gave the outer div a z-index: 1; and the div container that has the menu in it I gave it a higher z-index:9; and that way it floats on top. Be careful with z-index it can mess things up, but it works if you’re careful, and can be fun. nice plugin, thanks.

  51. Lieuwe says:

    Nice plugin!
    If I wonna use it in a sidebar, how can I specify the folder with the right pictures. (On a post/page I know how to work with multiple files, but nut on a sidebar)

  52. Todd says:

    please advise how to set pause for longer than ’10′ seconds, the field for pause is limited to 4 digits… need a longer delay. thanks

    • Gopi R says:

      Hi admin setting page we have option to update pause time. open the main plug-in page “new-simple-gallery.php” and find the sentence.

      echo 'Pause:<input maxlength="4" style="width: 100px;" type="text" value="';

      in this just increase that maxlength attribute value and re upload it into server.

  53. Steve-O says:

    Hi, Nice plugin. Just a couple issues though.

    The buttons for pause, left, right and play are not showing up. The images are in the plugin folder and the code was not altered, but those images are not appearing.

    also, for a gallery that displays images in both the landscape and portrait formats, is there a way to make the portrait image centered? right now it is on the left side and I would rather have it centered.

    Thanks.

  54. ilithya says:

    HI Gopi,

    I was trying this other plugin from you to see if in this one then I cycle the slideshow 1 time it could stop in the last slide.

    But is the same situation as in the Superb slideshow.

    Any clue how could I stop the slideshow after 1 cycle in my last slide, instead of the first one??

    Very much appreciated as always :)

  55. Sarah says:

    I love this gallery. It does exactly what I want. – except, is there a way to stop the mouseover options from showing? I don’t want the option to forward onto the next image manually, etc. and don’t want the grey bar popping up at the bottom on the gallery with these options.

    Thanks so much!

  57. SDCPune says:

    This is a great plugin and fully functional. As mentioned by the author;
    a) supply full path to the images of Left, Play, Pause, Right. Then these controls start showing up and they work well.
    b) jQuery library dependency. Yes while using it in your wordpress site, you very well have your own jQuery lib (probably already loaded due to some other plugins). So to remove the dependency on external jQuery file do this;
    b1) Open “new-simple-gallery.php” and REMOVE the lines that were reading out “jquery-1.2.6.pack.js”. Like line 63, 153.
    b2) Open “new-simple-gallery.js” and add this line into it;
    “var $ = jQuery.noConflict();” [Remove quotes]
    Then this plugin become super simple content slidder and easy to embed it directly into the pages using the shortcode.

    BIG thanks to the author – Gopi. All of the plugins done very well.

    • stonecoldcnc says:

      Thanks SDCPune your post above helped me to fix the conflict with another plugin.

      If you have a conflict with another plugin try the steps as SDCPune has explained, it worked for me

    Hi Gopi and all,

    I was able to solve my problem on my own. Thought I’d share.

    PREVIOUS PROBLEM:
    Any clue how could I stop the slideshow after 1 cycle in my last slide, instead of the first one??

    PROBLEM SOLVED:
    I had to change the loop in the js file: “new-simple-gallery.js” (line 110)
    var imgindex=(keyword==”next”)? (setting.curimage<totalimages-1? setting.curimage+1 : 0)

    change it to:
    var imgindex=(keyword=="next")? (setting.curimage<totalimages-1? setting.curimage+1 : totalimages-1)

    Happy coding everyone!

    Hi
    I am using this plugin and the simple Real Estate plugin which I really need to ahve. Your plugin interferes with the other plugin and their support team tells me there is a broken javascript in your plugin. I don’t know what they are saying but when I deactive your plugin the problem goes away. Can you help please to correct this as I really like your plugin and want to use it.

      Hi, its not a broken link, may be both the plug-in java script conflict each other. just deactivate other plug-in and see this plugin.

    Your plugin works fine but I also need the other one. Why do they conflict and can it be fixed?
    Thanks

    I wanted to share with other users a trick I have not seen in the documentation.

    HOW TO ADD A LINK TO AN IMAGE in the gallery.

    Just add to your code URL HERE

    Example:

    http://www.YOURWEBSITE HERE.com/wp-content/web/nameofimagefile.jpg
    Websiteshttp://www.WHERETOLINKHERE.com

    Have not figured out how to set it to open in a new window, but am working on it.

  63. j.greer says:

    This part of the code is not working for me:
    Option – 2 : use below mentioned code in the page or post.

    code available in admin page

    When I enter this into my page it simply shows code available in admin page as text within my page.

    Hi. I added your new simple gallery plugin and I am not receiving a picture. I reviewed the files in edit mode and noticed that the new-simple-gallery/new-simple-gallery.xml is noted as (inactive). I followed your directions exactly, so I am not sure why this file was made inactive. Do you have any ideas how to resolve this?

    Thanx in advance….

    Is is possible to give a image no target link? I don’t want to give the slideshow links. Can i make it not clickable?

  66. Sclaidlaw says:

    This question remains unanswered: how to add multiple galleries?

    If I have a gallery on the homepage, how do I add a different sized gallery to the sidebar? WordPress isn’t picking up the bracketed code when it’s in the sidebar.

    [new-simple-gallery=filename=new-simple-gallery.xml&width=400&height=300]

    • TomQ says:

      if you save different xml files in the same format as new-simple-gallery.xml & upload them to the same directory you can link to them separately

      eg.

      if you upload files named:
      new-simple-gallery1.xml
      new-simple-gallery2.xml

      you link them like below:

      [new-simple-gallery=filename=new-simple-gallery1.xml&width=400&height=300]

      [new-simple-gallery=filename=new-simple-gallery2.xml&width=400&height=300]

  67. axi says:

    hi :-)

    I have two galleries on my hp right now. One in the sidebar, working great! And one other in on a page, this one shows the wrong size, just about 20px smaller in width and height than the .xml linked pictures and I can`t puzzle out why. [new-simple-gallery=filename=500.xml&width=500&height=333] (exact size of the pictures)

  68. sunnydt says:

    Please tell me how I can remove the initial black loading background before the gallery has loaded. I need it to be white. Thank you for any help.

  69. Andy says:

    Hi. Is there a way of setting the images to be centred vertically- I’ve altered the gallery size to be square, to suit most of my images, but I’d like the few landscape images to be displayed in the middle, rather than at the very top. Thanks.

  70. Andy says:

    …or better still… is there a way of defining the background colour?

    how do I change the target so that the photo opens in a lightbox instead of using “_top” or “_new”

    can I integrate the standard wordpress .lightbox?

    or…can you integrate the pop-up code you used for this gallery (http://www.gopiplus.com/work/2010/07/18/random-image-gallery-with-fancy-zoom/)

    ???

  73. Tomek says:

    Hi!

    There is a little problem on my site.

    I’ve put the slideshow into my header, but when i’m trying to view subpages list from the menu it is under the photos, so there is impossible to see anything. Please tell me how to put this list on the top.

    Thanks a lot!

    • TomQ says:

      I can’t remember what this is exactly, but I remember I had this problem and it was due to flash.

      z-indexes etc won’t work.

      google sub-menu float over flash – its something to do with wmode=transparent tags in flash (i seem to remember two being needed for diff browsers)

      not fully sure if this applies here though

  74. Jim says:

    When I change the background to white in the JavaScript file to get rid of the black border, I get the word null displaying on the left hand corner of the gallery in light gray and it seems to be in sync with pictures rotating out/in. Is there a way to get rid of the word null? It even shows through the image title on top.
    Thanks

  75. anthony says:

    I still can not get any images to show up? Should the test images work when I install the plug-in? All I get on my screen is a black Square? Any thoughts?

  76. Brian says:

    Hi i’m having real trouble changing the images, I have followed much advice on this forum and nothing seems to change, so here are a few questions from a novice.

    1. where do i upload the photo to? I have uploaded it to my wp admin, my cpanel and it is saved on my computer, which will be best?

    2. Do I need a xml editing tool or will cpanel do the job?

    3. could you give me a simple step by step process for changing the images with as little jargon as possible!

    I love the plugin and hope you can help me get it working. :)

  77. Jason says:

    great plugin. I installed it and just set it up a few minutes ago. I use it as a sidebar feature, but I’m only seeing the images rotating on my mac in safari. In windows i only see a black box using Explorer and Firefox. Any suggestions how to fix this? I’m assuming it’s my error but I’m lost at this point. thanks

  78. Ros says:

    Hi Gopi, I love your gallery plugin! I’ve installed it on a test page on my site, and it’s working well. The only thing I can’t see is how to change the size of the gallery now it’s embedded in the page.

    You say: For page & post width & height depends on the string. Could you tell me where I can find this – which of the plugin files is it in?

    Many thanks!

    so this isn’t for my website, so the gallery wont resize no matter what i do, Ive gone into the settings and resized it to the size of the pictures but still getting a 200 x 300 picture.

    I installed the Simple Controls Gallery “simplegallery1″ and like the results a lot except for a problem I can’t fix when using Internet Explorer 8.

    I am having a problem with the word “null” showing up in the upper left corner for each image in the gallery when using IE 8. Works fine with other browsers, but IE8 comes up with “null” and the image.

    Here is the link to my site using the gallery:

        Can you tel me your using this “new simple gallery” or any other script??

        • Admin says:

          I have tested the given link. its look like your using some different script not this plugin :)

          • Elmer says:

            It is a problem with the plugin script though. Jim (February 4, 2011 at 10:10 pm) suggested already that this had something to do with changing the color from white to black, but that just makes the null visible; it was in fact already there. My site http://www.elmdroid.com has the same issue in IE8. In Firefox and Chrome it’s all good. After opening the site in IE, look on the top left of the slideshow, you can still see 1/3 of the ‘n’. When using Firefox Lite it turns out the ‘n’ is actually the starting letter of ‘null’ that is captured in a div, see below:

            null

            I’ve tried to see which ‘null’ this is in the .js file, but can’t figure out how to solve this. IE also returns a yellow triangle indicating an error. I’m assuming these issues are related.

            Any ideas?

          • Elmer says:

            Well, should have known that the page would try to visualize the code after posting and it did. Trying again to post the code (you can image the starting and closing divs yourself I hope):

    HELP!!

    I’ve spent ages now reading all these comments and still no further to the solution.

    I have tried everything in the book to change the presentation size of the slideshow. I’ve changed the setting within the Plugin area, I’ve changed the &width sizes within the text written in the page. No matter what I do, nothing changes.

    A simple guide would be most helpful….

    Just installed New Simple gallery on my WP 3.0.4 Site. All going great, until I published the page.

    The back, forward and play/pause buttons do not display properly, they are displayed as “question marks”.

    In the WP page preview mode it looked perfect but as soon as I published the page the buttons got confused :-) Any ideas?

    Thanks, Sean.

  89. Tamra says:

    Your plugin is great, just what I need. However in wp 3.1 it gives lots of error messages like:

    register_sidebar_widget is deprecated since version 2.8! Use wp_register_sidebar_widget() instead.

    and

    has_cap was called with an argument that is deprecated since version 2.0!

    these cause the dashboard to crash. Do you have any plans to upgrade this plugin?

  90. Daryl says:

    This is a great plugin! I have scanned the comments section and I am still unclear as to how I can center images within the gadget display. I have the plugin enabled in a sidebar where the width is set to 300 pixels. If I size the gallery smaller than 300 pixels in width (which is what I want to do) the images left justify. How can I center the images?

    I have found other posts alluding to this question but the answers are not clear. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you!

    This problem bcos of wrong XML file format.

    Thanks

      Nope, XML file was fine, as you and I both saw during our email conversation. Problem keeps occurring, I have now switched to WordPress Gallery Slideshow. Works like a charm.

  92. Ulf says:

    Hello, Can you disable the navigation on the slider?

    I don’t want people to pause, or go back/forward? I want to remove the OnFocus event completly.

    Other than that Great plugin!

  93. eniack says:

    Hi, the easiest way to disable the navigation panel is to go to the new-simple-gallery/new-simple-gallery.js file, and in the second line, in “var simpleGallery_navpanel”, change height to 0px :)

  94. katm says:

    Hi,

    This plugin has been great, but our images have stopped automatically rotating. This has happened after editing the stylesheet and header of the blog to allow for a navigation bar. I can’t get it to work again and don’t know what I’ve changed. How can I get the gallery up and running again? Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks!

    Hi – I’m wondering if you have a plugin which works like the one under the heading “shop the look” on this page: http://www.whowhatwear.com/website/full-article/www-styling-tips-1852/ where I can show a row of thumbnails that users can scroll back and forward manually, and each has its own clickable URL?

    Thanks so much!

This is really strangely generous of you in giving publicly what a few people could have made available as an electronic book to make some dough for their own end, especially given that you could have tried it if you ever desired. Those guidelines also worked to become great way to be aware that most people have the identical dreams the same as mine to know more and more with regard to this condition. I am sure there are a lot more pleasurable sessions in the future for those who take a look at your blog.

    I’m really excited to use your plugin thank you so much for creating it.

    I’m running into a Jquery conflict. If I upload the plugin without any changes it works but my Menu vanishes. If i edit the code as is quoted below as soon as I remove the lines in “new-simple-gallery.php” the galley disappears. Have there been any updates that would prevent this fix from working?

    [quote]

    b) jQuery library dependency. Yes while using it in your wordpress site, you very well have your own jQuery lib (probably already loaded due to some other plugins). So to remove the dependency on external jQuery file do this;
    b1) Open “new-simple-gallery.php” and REMOVE the lines that were reading out “jquery-1.2.6.pack.js”. Like line 63, 153.
    b2) Open “new-simple-gallery.js” and add this line into it;
    “var $ = jQuery.noConflict();” [Remove quotes]
    [/quote]

    Thanks again!

    For some reason i get a big black edge to the images and they are never centralised so when you change the size, it sacrifices the size of the images to keep the annouying black border in the top left hand of the image. How do you get rid of this? black or border or Bg or background or anything isnt mentioned anywhere in any of the code. thanks

    I have the images stored on my site, I can get to them via a simple web browser.

    What is confusing is all the tags and info in the xml file.

    I have an xml file editor, but what lines are needed at the beginning and then at the end.

    I assume i should be able to copy the middle section over and over again for each picture.

    Sorry, this probably seems like a silly question.

What am i doing wrong and what do i have to change? And thanks again for all you do!
