In reply to Liam. My guess is there is a plugin or theme conflict. To debug, I would run it on a test site with one of the default themes, and no other plugins, then turn on the plugins one by one.

I installed both the Media and Gallery plugins and cannot get any of the galleries to load when I activate the gallery plugin. Any ideas?

Hello Lee,
That would depend on what photo galleries you are using.

In general, images/image attachments are already stored as ‘post’ objects within the WordPress database. As such they already have built-in capabilities to support commenting. Some WP themes may not display commenting options for image-attachment objects though. If that is the case, you only need to add commenting into the appropriate theme template.

We have a few people who would like to enable comments on their photo galleries. It seems to me that this means each photo needs to be a post or could there be a better way to achieve this?

Essentially the new(ish) Facebook photo viewer is what we’re trying to achieve in the simplest way possible. Any thoughts on this?

The nativex and noobslide_2 type options don’t work for me. Am I supposed to install some javascript code somewhere to get it to work?

That is strange. Do the other noobslide options work? Noobslide uses mootools, so it could be a conflict with javascript installed by another plugin.

I’m wondering how I can extend your gallery plugin to add a type=’video’ option that will render the video using the OVP javascript? I’ll dive into your source code to see how it works, but any tips?

I should write a tutorial on expanding the plugin but haven’t gotten to it yet. Here is a short description on how to expand gallery types –

However, the plugin only provides support functions for processing images. For video, it may be easier and cleaner to just build a separate plugin and use a different shortcode.

Hello, this is really cool! I’ve installed your Shiba Media Library and Shiba Gallery plugins, on a wordpress 3.0.1 setup. The nativex and noobslide_2 type options don’t work for me. Am I supposed to install some javascript code somewhere to get it to work?

I have written a plugin to create a Video custom post type to allow metadata to be added along with attached videos and poster images, and generate some video sitemaps from that; now I’m planning on using the Open Video Project code to render those in HTML5 video with flash fallback.
