FAQ
Q. I installed everything, but I don’t see any images. What am I doing wrong?
A. Check if you have uploaded reflect2/3.php to your WordPress root folder (the directory where your wp-config.php file is in).
Q. My images don’t seem to get cached?
A. For the caching to work you have to use the NGG default paths, as NextGEN ImageFlow uses the same cache folder as NGG. So that would be wp-content/gallery/cache.
Q. But I changed that path. What can I do?
A. Open reflect2/3.php, go down to around line 80 and adjust this line $cache_dir = dirname(FILE).’/wp-content/gallery/cache’;
Q. Anything else I should know?
A. 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”.

Danke, Boris, für das tolle Plugin!
Ich bin sicher, dass es auf breite Zustimmung stoßen wird (und ich bald nicht mehr der einzige, außer dir sein werde, der es in WordPress laufen hat)!
Kein Problem, Martin. Sobald die Plugin Seite auf WP.org funktioniert, werden es hoffentlich mehrere Leute benutzen :)
Ach, die Exklusivität hat was! ;-)
Hi there, thanx for this great plugin.
I have done everything as described : uploaded the whole directory (except reflect.php) into the plugins directory, and then uploaded reflect.php to the root directory. After activating the plugin I tried a test-page and I can see that the images are loading, but the only thing I keep seeing is the loading.gif.
What can I try to get this to work ?
Marco, I would need to see a page with the problem. Are you using Highslide with it?
Hi there, I’ve made this page for you as an example :
http://www.marcovanveelen.nl/2007/10/14/studio-opname/
Tried with and without the Highslide…..
great plugin….thanks for the hard work…it is highly appreciated…..
Marco, try disabling Lightbox. So far I couldn’t get ImageFlow to work with Lightbox neither, so there seems to be some kind of conflict (I am working on that!). Apart from that I’m not really sure what could cause it. All images get generated, all files get included, it just doesn’t get displayed. Let me know…
Too bad. Disabled the Lightbox and it still didn’t work. I’ll keep coming back here to see if there is a solution to this.
Erst einmal danke für das tolle Plugin! Wird sicherlich guten Anklang finden wenn es bekannter wird :)
Mein Frage zu der Spiegelung für Bilder die nicht Teil der Galerie sind. Müssen die in einen bestimmten Ordner hochgeladen werden? Mich verwirrt etwas die URL zum Bild in deinem Beispiel.
Well, I found out it has something to do with the template (style ??) that I use. When I select the default WordPress template, it DOES work. Now…..where to find what is bugging it ?
Marco, I’ll look further into it. Might be a few days. There are a few issues I need to work on, like how the images are displayed in feeds.
Cindy, die Bilder können sich irgendwo im Blog Verzeichniss befinden. Man muss als URL einfach nur den Pfad zu reflect.php angeben, dann ?img= anhängen, gefolgt vom relativen Pfad zu dem Bild, das angezeigt werden soll. Daran kann man noch &bgc= anhängen, gefolgt von einem hexadezimalen Farbwert, z.B. ffffff für Weiss. Das ist die Hintergrundfarbe der Spiegelung. So, jetzt hab ich hoffentlich alle Klarheiten beseitigt :) Freut mich, dass das Plugin gefällt, auch wenns noch ein paar kleine Probleme gibt :)
Danke, wieder was gelernt. Muss ich auch noch ausprobieren :)
Und wegen Probleme, da hat ich schon schlimmeres. Ich finde es dennoch top!
Marco, try to disable the plugins you have one by one. Then there is some Javascript in your body. Get rid of it and see if ImageFlow works. You should be able to find what’s causing your problems by way of elimination. If it’s a plugin, please let me know…
It has to do with the following code, when I delete it, it works. Now trying to find out what plugin it adds :
[code]
window.onload = function(){
document.body.appendChild(document.createElement('div'))
}
[/code]
Well, that code wasn’t defined in a plugin, but solely in the header.php. I deleted it and now it works.
Only the Highslide doesn’t work, so I set that option to “none”…..
Maybe it’s hard coded in a theme file and not a plugin at all, Marco.
Looks like we posted at the same time… Anyways, as for the Highslide effect, it needs to be installed already. The plugin only includes the necessary compatible files needed to run Highslide… I’ll update the FAQs and the readme…
Thanx, I just downloaded and activated that plugin (had to rename the dir from “wp-highslide-image-viewer” to “highslide” ?? And now it all works.
Only get one exclamation mark saying there’s an error somewhere, but hey, it works for now ;)
To everybody having problems in Internet Explorer: I’m working on a solution, but I’m not a CSS genius, so please bear with me…
very cool plugin – i am working on wpmu, and it doesn’t fully work, just wondering if you had any previous fixes or alternate instructions for wpmu? thanks.
Erst mal Danke für dieses Plugin, sieht klasse aus.
Allerdings lande ich immer auf einer leeren, weißen Seite, wenn ich das Highslide JavaScript laden möchte. Weißt Du da mehr?
Landest Du auf einer weissen Seite, wenn Du auf das Bild klickst oder wird nur eine weisse Seite geladen? Ich kann hoffentlich mehr sagen, wenn Du mir einen Link zu einer Testseite schickst…
Ich hatte gestern das Problem, dass die Seite unter Adresse http://vikjavev.no/highslide/ leer und weiß war. Da läd man das HighSlide-JavaScript runter.
Jetzt eben habe ich es noch mal probiert, da gehts. War gestern wohl ein Server-Problem. Ich das Script jetzt laden können.
Folgende Frage stellt sich dabei: Ich habe das WP-Highslide-Plugin geladen und aktiviert, und damit das arbeitet, braucht man das Script zusätzlich. Wo muss das die JS-Datei nun hin? In das HighSlide-Verzeichnis sicher, aber auch in das ImageFlow-Verzeichnis?
Wer lesen kann ist klar im Vorteil…
Mir fehlte im HighSlide-Plugin eine Pfad-Anpassung. Jetzt gehts, z.B. hier:
http://blog.cowboy-of-bottrop.de/2008/05/04/tiermarkt-2008-in-lembeck/
Du musst nur das Plugin nach Anleitung installieren und die Option in ImageFlow auf Highslide setzen. Dann wäre es wahrscheinlich noch am besten, wenn Du den Effekt in NextGEN Gallery auch auf Highslide setzt.
Highslide funktioniert mit dem Highslide-Plugin “out of the box”, man braucht nichts zusätzlich installieren oder einbauen.
Bei mir habe ich in den NGG-Galleries den Highslide-Effekt deaktviert (“none”), in ImageFlow läuft er trotzdem sauber.
Hi Boris,
habe bei mir im css des Plugins mal die Hintergrundfarbe auf “none” gesetzt, so fügt es sich etwas geschmeidiger ein. Kann man da nicht evtl. auch über das Plugin steuern?
Martin, toller Gravatar :) es gäbe 2 Möglichkeiten das über das Plugin steuern zu lassen. Die erste wäre, dass man die entsprechenden Styles in den packt. Finde ich allerdings nicht so toll, weil dann nicht alles CSS im gleichen Ort ist und man mehr Overhead hat. Die 2. Möglichkeit wäre, im Admin eine neue Seite einzufügen, in der man das komplette CSS bearbeiten kann. Ich denke, das werde ich irgendwann mal machen, wenn die IE probleme gelöst sind. Was denkst Du?
Dachte ich mir doch, dass dir der Gravatar gefällt. ;-)
Ich denke auch, dass Letzteres die bessere Lösung ist, alles andere ist eher ein “drumherum”.
Bei diesem Plugin ist ja das Zusammenspiel zwischen dem Reflektionshintergrund (den man ja jetzt schon einstellen kann) und der background-color wichtig. Der Effekt sieht ja auch auf schwarz klasse aus, man sollte es dann aber ja nicht in weiß als Reflektionshintergrund laufen lassen. Das muss man halt ausporbieren, insofern wäre das Einstellen der Hintergrundfarbe eine feine Sache. Mit Transparent hat man (als default) eigentlich am wenigstens Schwierigkeiten, da man die Reflektionsfarbe ja jetzt schon ändern kann.
Ja, ich denke, deine Lösung ist sicher die bessere Variante, sonst baut irgendwann zu viel drumherum.
Bei dem (tollen!) Plugin spielt ja auch das Zusammnespiel der Hintergrundfarbe und der Reflektionsfarbe (die man ja schon einstellen kann) eine wichtige Rolle. Wahrscheinlich ist sogar “none” als Standardeinstellung die flexibelste Lösung. Das dann in den Admin-Bereich zu integrieren, wie du es planst, ist dann im nächsten Schritt wirklich elegant.
Interessant wäre es auch, die Reflektion modifizieren oder auch ganz ausschalten zu können, sodass man ggf. nur die Bilderleiste hat (für diejenigen, denen die “Web 2.0-Spiegelung” auf die Nerven geht).
Wenn sich dann noch die Bilder an den Bildern schieben ließen (nicht nur am Regler oder per Scrollrad), dann wird es auch noch einen Tick intuitiver. Man müsste den Schiebebereich mal etwas vergößern).
Ich schaue mir das am Wochenende auch noch mal genauer an.
Martin, was genau meinst Du denn mit Bildern an Bilder schieben? Und das mit dem Schiebebereich hab ich auch nicht wirklich verstanden… :)
Ich glaube background kann entweder einen Farbwert oder aber transparent als Wert haben. none dürfte nicht funktionieren (berichtige mich, wenn das falsch ist).
Sollte kein Problem sein eine Option einzufügen, die die Spiegelung ausschaltet.
H Boris, was ich meine ist folgendes:
Um durch die Bilder zu blättern, benutze ich den Slider (bzw. das Scrollrad der Maus). Wenn man nun auch oberhalb des Sliders, also an den Bildern “schieben” könnte (also den aktiven Bereich des Javascriptes nach oben vergrößert?). In etwa so, als ob man wirklich die Bilder schiebt.
Habe bei mir im css “none” (funktioniert):
#if_imageflow{
text-align:left;
background:none;
}
Wieder was gelernt.
Jetzt hab ichs. Das Problem dabei wäre wahrscheinlich, dass dann der Schiebebereich in Konflikt mit dem Durchblättern und Öffnen der Bilder gerät (Man muss ja einmal klicken, um mit dem Schieben anzufangen). Du kannst es Finn ja mal vorschlagen :) Ich kenn mich da mit JS zu wenig aus…
Hey, is there a way to show ALL gallerys in one slide?
Mattias, you would have to change the database query, but there’d be more work involved, otherwise every instance of ImageFlow would show all galleries.
Ok, I use a imageflow instance as an index slider on my indexpage. I solved it using the following
[imageflow=]
Code striped ^ echo rand (1,6);
More problem, highslide is installed and working fine. But when activated in Imageflow nothing happens when clicking an image in a slider? Something I need to do?
Error: hs is not defined
File: /wp-content/plugins/nextgen-imageflow/imageflow/imageflow_hs.js
Row: 174
Well done, Mattias. Didn’t even think of that :)
As for the JS, I just used the files as they are, didn’t change anything and I don’t really know much about JS. Had a look, though, and line 174 is the onclick call for Highslide, and that would normally mean, that you don’t have Highslide installed or that something is wrong with your installation. I’d check it again.
Also, if you provide a test page I’ll have a look…
Hi there,
great plugin! Almost perfect because at the moment, the highslide effect is not working for me neither.
I’ve installed the highslide plugin and renamed it “highslide” and when clicking an image it’s not doing anything.
Thanks in advance if anyone can help
@@ damo
The Highslide effect as such seems to work on your page – have you got a specific link to an imageflow-gallery so that we can see where it’s not working?
Why did you rename the plugin (I didn’t have to).
Sorry, for not being of more help just now.
First: Very good work! Keep it up :-)
I have a strange problem with the software. Not sure which of the components the bug is in, or if I am doing something wrong…
Look at my website: http://veloce.dk/
The first post is fine, and if you click the image, a simpleviewer comes up very nicely.
But for older posts (not on the first page) og if you go to a specific posting like http://veloce.dk/?p=82 something is wrong. Click the picture, a suddenly the simpleviewer has different dimensions!!
Why is that?
Damo, had a look at your website and noticed that you have both Highslide and Lightbox running on your site. There might be some problems with imageflow_hs.js and lightbox (or some other script on your site). But to be able to say more, I’d need to see a test page.
Jesper, I’m a bit stumped by that. Honestly, I don’t know what could cause that. Might be a problem with Thickbox…
I played a little with the differet settings. It is the same without the NextGen sidebar widget, and it is also the same whether I use SimpleViewer, TiltViewer, AutoViewer og PostcardViewer… Strange…
The only thing I can see that has changed, is the href. When I go to a specific page, then it includes a “?p=82″ (for example)…
Ha – solved :-)
My impression was right. Change WordPress to use permalinks without the “?p=” – now it works ;-)
Ok I’ve given up on highslide, instead I’m using a version of lightbox. The settings in NextGEN is set to lightbox, so is there a way to simply add “rel=’lightbox’” to a sliders a-element? If you like to check it out look at http://www.nordicdream.se.
Never mind, got it to work now! :)
Hey it’s me again ;)
Can I call the function in php? Tried imageflow(), no luck. Want to call the function in a text widget.
Mattias, that function would be
When you use the php call, you have to provide the width and the height, so you might have to play around a little bit until it fits.
Thanks!
Ok, it works perfect in Firefox, but in IE it’s getting all weird. Any suggestions? (Page: http://www.nordicdream.se)
Boris,
Thx for yet another cool plugin! Can you tell me how I install Highslide? where do I get it from plus will it clash with thickbox?
Thx!
Boris,
I found highslide and got it working!
However, I can’t seem to get the captions like on your example. Are these from the thumbnail title? Or some other alt text?
Cheers…
Mattias, you might need to adjust the CSS a little. Try adding a top value to the images.
Sam, you should realize that using 2 different effects for your images might slow down your page load quite a bit. In your configuration in the head try adding
or set it directly in highslide.js, if that’s what you’re doing. You can find more information on setting up Highslide here
Hello and thank you for sharing this plugin. I have been trying to figure out how to use the reflection feature for images that are not in the NextGen gallery, and I cannot figure it out for the life of me. Can you break this down for me:
src=”path/2/WP-root/reflect.php?img=rel/path/2/image.jpg”? I’ve tried to follow the logic of entering this and the image does not show up. I have tried entering the html links to the reflect.php file as well as to my image file….
Nevermind my last post. I have it working beautifully now! Thanks again!!!
Let’s demonstrate it on an example, Neci. This assumes that you don’t have WP installed in a subfolder. Another thing to note is that the images still have to be somewhere in the WP folders…
That should do it!
Thanks for the very quick reply. I actually do have WP installed in a subfolder. worked for me. Check out my site and you’ll see it on the front page. :D I love your site by the way!
Thanks, Neci. Looks good!
This worked for me. Sorry for all of the comments, maybe you can delete as you see fit: <img src=”reflect.php?img=wp-content/Pics/bloggirl2.png” alt=”" width=”144.339623″ height=”450″ align=”left”/>
Hi Bo,
just noticed a conflict with another NEXTGen-Plugin.
I set up a dummy-site (geeky-speal: “proof-of-concept”) with
- imageflow
- tiltviewer
- postcardviewer
All worked fine so far. When I added a smooth-gallery-gallery, image-flow broke (all others still work as expected).
Let me know if you need more info!
Martin
Martin, I’ll have a look. Not a big fan of the look of Smooth Gallery, personally, that’s why I don’t have it installed. You don’t happen to have a link to your dummy site, do you?
Sure!
http://www.maiermartin.de/?page_id=91
First and foremost thanks for the plugin!
And here is my contribution..
Imageflow by default uses the larger files to display the small images. My images were not showing up and I did not know why. Then I typed the source of the image directly into the browser (…reflect.php?img=..). My host restricts memory size to a low number so I ran into this error.
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 9216 bytes) in /home/fresh/public_html/web/reflect.php on line 269
So after hours of bewilderment I found where to make the necessary change. If anyone else runs into this problem then open nggImageFlow.php and search for the line with ‘img=’. Make that line look like this:
src=”‘.$siteurl.’/reflect.php?img=’.$picture->path.’/thumbs/thumbs_’.$picture->filename.’&bgc=’.$ngg_if_options['ngg_if_background_color'].’” longdesc=”‘;
The thumbs directory and thumbs_ prefix is added.
This could be changed on the plugin as well and conserve memory!
Justin, I might add this as an option. Most people use fixed size thumbnails though and that ‘d result in cropped images being shown. Also, thumbs are usually only 100-150 px, so if you use imageflow in a big container the images won’t look too good.
Hi Bo,
toll, dass die IE-Probleme gelöst sind!
Bei mir (startseite) aber noch nicht ganz – das Karussel wird nicht mittig angezeigt, sondern steht rechts in der Ecke. Seltsam – css? Ist in FF bestens, im IE7 nicht. Hast du eine Idee?
Zum ersten: Ich schließe mich dem Dank meiner vielen Vorredner an. Ein super Plugin !
Zum zweiten:
Ich würde gerne das Plugin so wie bei dir als Navigation verwenden. Es soll sich beim Klick also kein vergrößertes Bild, sondern eine Url öffnen. – Was muss ich tun ?
(habe einen Link als Titel eingefügt, das klappt, ich will aber das ganze Bild verlinken…)
Zum dritten: Viele Grüße, wo auch immer du gerade steckst !
Tobias, das hab ich bei mir mit einem Custom Query Loop und Custom Fields gelöst. Ausserdem muste ich bei mir das Plugin etwas modifizieren, weil ich ausser auf der Frontpage immer Highslide als Effekt hernehmen wollte. Schicke mir eine Mail, wenn Du daran interessiert bist. Ist ein bisschen viel für einen Kommentar…
@@ Tobias
@@ Boris
Das klingt interessant, aber ich verstehe nicht genau, was ihr meint. :-(
Auf dieser Seite verlinken die Bilder auf keine URL, die Bilder werden vergößert. Auch die Highlside-Navigation in den Bildern (Pfeile) ist ohen Funktion (Mac: Safari, FF, PC: IE, FF).
Übersehe ich etwas?
Martin, schau mal auf meine Frontpage, dann siehst Du was ich meine. Da hab ich seit gestern eine modifizierte Version von ImageFlow laufen.
Hi Bo,
ja, jetzt habe ich’s gesehen – danke! Bei mir lädt die Startseite ziemlich langsam, daher surfe ich meist nur auf den Flashviewer und (natürlich) Image-Flow-Seiten. ;-) Sind ja neidliche Seiten-Thumbs! Nette Idee! Die Implementierung von Links auf den Bildern ist schon eine nette Sache, die man auch (optional) für eine Gallery-Übersicht prima nutzen könnte.
Aber dass die Highlside-Navigation in den Bildern (diese Seite bei vergrößerten Bildern) nicht geht – liegt das an Highslide?
Denke, dass das an der modifizierten Imageflow JS Datei liegt. Wie langsam lädt die Startseite denn? Sogar hier in Neuseeland, wo ich endslangsames Internet habe lädt sie innerhalb von 5 Sekunden…
Sorry, Bo – hier (zuhause) läuft’s besser – ist wohl die Firewall in der Firma. Ich lande bei etwas über 5 Sekunden (einige Sachen werden nachgeladen.
hi nice plugins, but i had fail to make it work, the images able to display but not scroll-able.

hi Bo, thanks here is the http://www.weddingsbyeternal-malaysia.com/?p=196 not scroll-able.
gulflee, there’s no imageflow on the page at all so I can’t really tell you anything specific. It might have something to do with all the different JS libraries and scripts you have running.
autworld, cheers, man!
sorry it should be in 404 page in http://www.weddingsbyeternal.com/asdf sorrry
gulflee, I couldn’t find something specific, but I guess there might be a conflict with some other script you’re running. You have jQuery included twice in the header, by the way. Try disabling one plugin at a time until you find the problem maker.
Error: Beim Validieren bekommt man einen Error, du darfst nicht einfach & schreiben, du musst & schreiben @

Hi Boris or anyone that can help!
I have upgraded to Imageflow 1.0 and WordPress 2.6. I am using Highslide effects.
I have now noticed a problem with Imageflow in IE 7. In FireFox it works fine.
I get a little image on the right hand side of the viewer plus the display bar. Until I don’t click that little image thew images do not show up.
Anyone else have this problem??? If so, how did you fix it?
Can someone help with slider position????
I have installed imageflow…I finally got it to work with IE7 except for the slider button…it will not focus to the correct image (ie #6)…it sits at the left side of the scrollbar. Can you tell me which code to edit to fix this? (It works perfectly in Firefox.)
Thanks!

Can you give an URL?
Hello. Great work! There’s any way I can place it in the template instead of just in a postpage? Thanks.
JL Andrade,
should do the trick…
How do you change the “description” (alt) text color? I have the background behind the reflection black and the text is currently gray.
@@ Sam
Your issue with IE7 may be a problem with your theme (this is what I had with my theme, took me ages to find the problem).
Does it work OK in Kubrick (default theme)?
Otherwise, as always, an URL to your website would help a lot, if you require help. ;-)
Hallo Boris
Heute habe ich noch das imageflow versuecht… unglaublich aber auch dieses Plugin laeuft bei mir nicht:)
die reflect.php Datei ist im WordPress root Verzeichnis, aber die Bilder werden einfach ganz ohne Effect angezeigt, jedes Foto wird einzeln und in der Originalgroesse angezeigt
Hoffe ich konnte es verstaendlich beschreiben…

Hi Boris,
As stated above on 2nd August, I still have this problem with IE7.
@maierma – I checked with the default theme. It still has the same problem. I get a little image [] appear of the first photo and the slideshow does not open until I click it.
It works fine in Firefox.
Anyone had this problem? Or knows how to get round it? I did read somewhere about a bug with Imageflow and CSS for IE7 ….
Thx!
@@ Sam
My next guess (hinted in my earlier post) would be the painful “hasLayout” IE-issue. This is some odd behaviour of IE that overrides some css settings automatically but can be circumveyed.
Any chance you provide a link to your “problem page” so that we can all have a look and help you eliminating the cause of the problem?
Hi,
Thanks for a great plugin, I just wanted to ask as I’ve not been able to find any information but is it possible to make pictures in the slider link to pages/posts in my blog?

Boris is using such a modified version of his plugin on his frontpage, so possible, but needs some modifications in the code, I believe (worth a tutorial, I’d think).
James, yes it is possible and I probably will write up a little tutorial about it. I have plans of moving all of the ‘technical’ posts into a group in the new community I am building, so it’ll happen after that. It’s a bit too much for a comment…
Hey Martin, cheers for helping people out around here. I don’t seem to get much of that done these days. But my tan is really nice :)
Thanks Boris,
It’s a great plugin and I look forward to it. In the meantime perhaps, do you think it’s possible to tell me a quick hack that I could use to maybe just make every image link to a specific page. I don’t mind if it has to be hardcoded into the plugin but it would be really useful for a project i have in mind?
I know you’re busy so any advice would be great :)
Hi Boris,
danke für das Plugin,
ich habe leider ein seltsames Problem, wenn ich Imageflow + Highslide auf meiner Titelseite verwende, funktioniert es problemlos, siehe hier:
http://www.skritus.de/
Wenn ich den Artikel aufrufe, funktioniert das Plugin nicht mehr richtig.
siehe hier:
http://www.skritus.de/2008/09/14/interkulturelle-kommunikation-ii/
Ich benutze ansonsten kein Lightbox und auch ohne Highslide (wenn ich es im Imageflow Menü deaktiviere) Effekt klappt irgendetwas nicht.
Andy, tja, ich hab gesucht, konnte aber nichts sehen. Evtl ist es ja ein Konflikt mit einem anderen Plugin. Auf jeden Fall komisch…
James, I have hardcoded the html of imageflow into a template, using a custom loop that utilizes custom fields:
<div id="if_wrapper"> <div id="if_imageflow"> <div id="if_loading" style="padding:0"></div> <div id="if_images"> <?php $geekPosts = new WP_Query(); $geekPosts->query('cat=196'); while ($geekPosts->have_posts()) : $geekPosts->the_post(); ?> <img src="/travelogues/reflect.php?img=wp-content/gallery/geek/<?php $key="geek"; echo get_post_meta($post->ID, $key, true); ?>&bgc=ffffff" longdesc="<?php the_permalink() ?>" alt="<?php the_title(); ?>" /> <?php endwhile; ?> </div> <div id="if_captions"></div> <div id="if_scrollbar"> <div id="if_slider"></div> </div> </div> </div>The key of the custom field is geek in my case and the value is the image name, so imageflow.jpg for example.
In nggImageFlow.php you then have to include an if statement that on that page only the normal imageflow.js gets included, like this on line 157:
That’s basically it.

Die einzigen, die ich bei mir nicht laufen habe sind Quick Code und WP-Highslide. Deaktiviere die mal und schau ob es dann funktioniert. Wenn es immer noch nicht geht, dann deaktiviere auch noch Random File und wordTube.
Hi,
How do I change the size of the images in the ImageFlow (i.e, before someone clicks on the images)?
Thanks,
Josh

I am using NextGEN ImageFlow
I added following code in My sidebar.php
What wroong is there please reply
How can i intrigate the ImageGallery Flow in My Blog header.php or sidebar.php

I’ve installed the plug-in and it works beautifully! I’m impressed with the high level of professionalism! However; I have two settings/features I need some help with.
First I’m not able to get the background music to play. I’ve put the correct url into the spot on the sideshow page but nothing plays.
Secondly I’ve tried to change the loading image from the circle to the bar. Regardless of what setting I use I get the circle. The only problem I have with the circle is that the color looks terrible on my site.
I’d appreciate any suggestions or recommendations for either of these minor tweaks.
Thanks in advance for your time and attention!
Steve
Steve Carter, NextGEN Imagelfow doesn’t support background music. The NGG slideshow does. Just copy your new loading image into the imageflow folder in the plugin files, then adjust line 122 of nggImageFlow.php with the filename and the height and width.
Just a little question:
Highslide Javascript effect doesn’t work on my site when I try to click into an image.
Is there a way to add another effects to “Javascript Effects” dropdown list?
Dani, highslide needs to be installed already. It doesn’t come with this plugin or with ngg for that matter. Other scripts can be added by adjusting imageflow.js. there is aleready a lightbox version included in the download, but so far i couldn’t get it to work…
Ok, I understand.
But how can I install Highslide?
Maybe I need to download some files and put it into /imageflow/ directory…
Could you help me?
Dani, there is a WP Highslide plugin floating around somewhere or you could go to http://highslide.com and read up on the documentation. There’s a forum as well, that explains it very well. Have a look at my source code as well. I’ve got it installed here.
@ALL:
IMPORTANT:
There will be a change in how I give support in the future. I have started a community. The link you can find in the menu all the way to the right. I have created a group each within that community for both my WP plugins. This is the preferred way for me to give support from now on. You can browse the group forum without joining the community, but to ask questions you will have to register for the community. The only other way for support will be through the WP.org forums, which I hardly ever visit though. I just don’t have the time.
I am hoping this change will eventually lead to other people giving a little support as well. When I am travelling (and let’s face it, I’m travelling most of the time) I am out of reach a lot or simply don’t have the time or energy to wade through tons of comments.
I’ll keep the comments open here for another couple weeks or until the community comes out of beta testing, but registration is open already.
Cheers!
Hallo Boris !
Ein ganz DICKES Lob und Gratulation für das ImageFlow Plugin (WordPress). Habe lange nach einem derartigem Tool gesucht und bin nun fündig geworden!
Gruß HolGee
Hallo HolGee,
vielen Dank für Dein Lob. Es freut uns immer wieder, Dir / Euch eine Freude bereiten zu können. :)
Ciao, Stefan
Is there anyway to loop through the images? I have 5 images and would like them to rotate permanently. Thanks.
Mario, there is no way at the moment to do that. Feature requests for the imageflow script should go to Finn, the author.
Thickbox isn’t supported at the moment with ImageFlow, jo, only Highslide, but maybe in the future, eh? :)
Alaric, reflections seem to be working fine on your site. Since the new version there only is a reflect2 and a reflect3. reflect.php was from the old version.
Barbara, you can just use this echo nggShowImageFlow(GALLERY ID);
Beat, du musst in den ImageFlow Optionen einstellen, dass Highslide verwendet werden soll. Dann müste es gehen :)
hi mate,
just to start off the plugin looks truly amazing!!
Just one problem :(. i have the nextgen and image flow plugins installed. For some reason i just could not get any lightbox plugins to work with either at first. Anyhow eventually i found this light box plugin (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/auto-thickbox/installation/) which works with the nextgen gallary but it does not work with the image flow :(
Im pretty sure im doing something wrong but just not quite sure what lol. Im new to wordpress, this will be my first wp site design.
Would be amazing if you could help me out
p.s
is there any particular settings i should check?
my site is http://www.thefunkydesign.com/wordpress/?p=59
ive added both the tag for the normal nextgen gallary and the image flow. Your help is much appreciated :)
Hello,
I am trying to build a website and i found Imageflow, wich is exactly what i needed. But i have a problem : with reflection, only a few images seems to be in cache, and not always the same…
Paths in reflect2 and reflect3 seems to be good but I dont have a file named relect.php like said in : Open reflect.php, go down to line 82 and adjust the path. Alternativley you can disable caching by setting $_GET['cache'] in reflect.php on line 33 to 0.
example of the thing : http://babt.free.fr/?p=365
Hi! Super Plugin. Habe aber noch Probleme mit der Highslide implementation. In der NextGEN Gallery ist Highslide implementiert und funktioniert. Effekt ist in den NextGEN Gallery Optionen auch default.
Mit deinem Pluging habe ich auch Highslide aktiviert. Bilder werden aber nicht entsprechend geöffnet, sonder einfach blank in einem Browserfenster. -> http://blog.festplatte.ch/index.php/nextgen-imageflow
Any Ideas?
Hi. Is there a way to insert an imageflow gallery into the header.php of a blog?
Hi!
Die Highslide Option habe ich im Dropdown bei den ImageFlow Einstellungen ausgewählt. Funktioniert aber leider nicht. Bei einer Standart NextGEN Gallery läuft Highslide ohne Probleme…
Grüsse und Danke für Tips zur Behebung
Hi;
great plugin. I really appreciate the hard work.
I have a question, however, when I click on one of my images, it opens it up into a whole new page instead like yours above in a Nextgen gallery pop up box. What do you think I’m doing wrong. I set up a test page on my site:
http://canus21.net/media/pictures/cambodia-2
Thanx in advance.
Chris, at the moment only the Highslide effect is supported. I checked on your website and you seem to be using Thickbox.
Excellent! Thank you Boris. I installed it, and it works.
Awesome plugin Boris.
Great plugin, imageflow works great! However, I’m trying to get highslide to work. I already tried renaming highslide’s plugin dir to “highslide” but still nothing!
I’d prefer not to send a link because the website is not ready to be opened up to the public.
Thanx!
Please help me, the plugin does not work! I can not find the file reflect.php in the download. Can you tell me where it is?
You don’t need a reflect.php file anymore. Instead you should have a reflect2 and reflect3 file.
Cheers, Chris!
Drew, all you need to do is install highslide and set the effect to highslide in the ImageFlow admin panel and it should work. You could always send me the link by good old email, if you don’t want it to be public.
Hello Boris,
Here is the link to my page which contains the plugin.
http://www.koenfu.nl/2009/02/weekendje-putten/
You can see it does not load, all the things in the FAQ i checked. Got any ideas?
Thanx in advance
Koen
Hi
I translated this fine plugin into Danish. You can download the language files for FlashViewer as well as for ImageFlow here: Udvidelser til NextGEN Galleri.
For the Danes: Jeg har oversat dette fine plugin til dansk. Du kan downoade sprogfilerne for både FlashViewer og ImageFlow. Klik på linket ovenfor!
Thanks a lot, Adamsen! I’ll download them and include the files as soon as I can go online with my laptop next!
Hello Boris
Got Highslide and Imageflow working and really think it works great,
But would like to link the images to the related post. If I put a link in the alt/descrip to the post it does not seem to work (the code goes to the screen) can you test from your end?
Erik
I’ll look into it, Eric.
Vielen Dank für das Plugin! Aber gibt es eine Möglichkeit das mittlere Bild mit der Lightbox 2 funktionstüchtig zu machen?
Oder gibt es da derzeit eh einen Konflikt so wie ich das lese? Hoffe du findest dazu eine Lösung :) Grüße
Ich habe Lightbox nie zum laufen gebracht in den Imageflow Versionen unter 1.0. Seit der neuen Version kann man einen onclick Event eingeben, allerdings hab ich keine Ahnung, wie der bei Lightbox aussehen könnte, weil dort ja alles über das rel Attribut läuft. Wenn Du das rausfindest, dann nehm ich es gerne ins Plugin mit auf :)
Also wenn du per Javascript dem mittleren Bild ein < a href="pfad_zur_bildquelle" rel="nofollow" >< /a > verpasst, sollte das mit aktiviertem Plugin ja eigentlich schon funktinieren. Ich denke du müsstest den Link-Tag bei den anderen Bildern ja wieder raus nehmen lassen, da sonst der Browser den Link öffnen will beim draufklicken…
Soweit meine These :-) Denn ohne < a > Tag lässt sich bei Lightbox 2 scheinbar nicht viel machen… Grüße
Hmm, denke nicht, dass das so einfach geht mit ImageFlow. Das Script ist ja nicht von mir und zur Zeit kann man das nur ueber einen onclick machen Deswegen denk ich mal auch, dass nur Highslide unterstuetzt wird. Mit JS kenn ich mich auch nicht wirklich aus, also aender ich da nur ungern dran rum…
I have done Russian translation for NextGEN ImageFlow v1.2
You can use it for free and include in package if you want.
How can I submit translation?
Nikolay, you can send them to my email address, whcih you can find here. Thanks for that!
justin, just make the container holding imageflow larger and the images will be bigger.
Did you receive my translation?
Yes, thank you! I’m working on a new release (well, have been for ages now) and I’ll upload it then.
Is there a hack to change the image sizes? I think a friend of mine figured something out in the past.
I was running into a problem with the generation of the reflected images.
When I run this
http://joeflasher.com/wordpress/reflect3.php?img=wp-content/gallery/blizzard2009/img_0662.jpg&bgc=ffffff
I see this
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 134217728 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 16000 bytes) in /home/content/u/m/p/umphrey1012/html/wordpress/reflect3.php on line 369
I tried adding this @ini_set(‘memory_limit’, ’128M’); around line 298 in reflect.php but no luck. Any ideas? Thanks!
Any chance adding some captions to the photos?
Thanks.
They are already in there. Just add an alt text in your gallery backend and they’ll show as captions.
Hi there Boris,
First of all i’d like to thank you for this great plugin.
But we’ve encountered a problem with IE7 (or maybe IE in general)
It works in FF and Chrome and Safari & Opera etc but it doesnt show any images in IE but it doesnt give an error either. Can we solve this? is this a known issue?
Hey there,
yeah, that’s a known issue. Haven’t had time to look into it, but it’s on my urgent to-do list!
Cheers,
Bo
Dear Boris,
I see old posts here so I wonder if you are still working on this plugin. I like it very much and I installed it in my web. Everything is ok but the loading is really slow.
I leave it on the following page for you to check:
http://www.scrical.it/itinerari/viaggi-allestero/capodanno-a-lisbona/lisbona-lelevator/
If you see the photos in other pages the loading is really quick.
Any suggestion?
Tschuess
Gabi
Hey Gabi,
yep, still working on the plugin, but I’m travelling in Pakistan at the moment and probably won’t be able to do some work on it until I get back to Europe in around 2 months. It seems a bit slow on your site, yes, but that could be your server, computer, browser or the script, none of which I can do anything about. The new version will have the latest imageflow.js and that might be faster.
Boris
Hi Boris,
many thanks for your reply. I’ll wait for the next release.
Don’t think that it’s a server/connection problem as the
Tiltviewer and autoviewer work perfectly.
I switch back to tiltviewer also for that page until the new release of Imageflow will be ready. I Like it very much as it reminds me my favourite work environment, that is Mac.
Meanwhile I have only to wish you the very best for your journey in Pakistan and put me in your distribution list if you have one.
Gabi
PS: Just a suggestion: why don’t you put most recent comments at the top of the list? :)
Hey Gabi,
good idea about the comments. I will be back home in about a week or two and then I’ll completely redesign this site. Also, you can expect the new versions of our plugins to be available soon thereafter. I know it’s been a long wait for many people.
I don’t have a distributen list, but if you like you can sign up for the rss feed at travel-junkie.com.
Boris
Hi
amazing plugin, truly amazing.
I want to up the width on the imageflow gallery, but cant work out where…
http://s68722.gridserver.com/films/
Thanks,
Ian
Hey Ian,
ImageFlow uses all the available space for it’s gallery, so the only way of making the images bigger is to give them more space. A little bit can be done by adjusting through CSS, though.
Boris
Hi there!
I’ve installed and ran the plugin right “out of the box”! What an impressive work! Anyway, I will desactivate it for now since it lacks the crucial feature I hoped it to have: I would like to open a specific link when clicking on a specific picture (a link by picture) so it could be used as a kind of menu for the Web site. May be it’s already possible, but I haven’t found how… ?
Anyway, thumbs up for the great work!
Hey there Kaotoxin,
this feature will be part of the next release, which will be out in a few weeks. It’s been a much wanted feature. Maybe you can give it a go again then!
Boris
Boris, this plugin is just what I needed, thanks a bunch. I got it working without much trouble, but have a question. The imageflow container is set to accomodate portrait as well as landscape images. In Finn Rudolph’s original ImageFlow, there is an aspect tatio option, aspectRatio, that adjusts the relation between the height and width of the ImageFlow container, that can be set to Cinemascope , Extreme Portrait Format, and Golden Ratio. http://finnrudolph.de/ImageFlow/Examples For now, is there a way to set aspectRatio manually in one of the plugin files, and regardless, could you possibly include that feature in General Settings, in a future edition? Thanks, Kevin
I forgot to say that I’m redoing my Coppermine gallery and adding WordPress. I put the ImageFlow plugin on the main page of WP, and there is too much distance above and below the ImageFlow container, from the text. All the gallery sample images I’m using are landscape so I don’t need the extra height. That is the only issue I have.
I appreciate ya!
Hey Kevin,
the plugin still uses an older version of ImageFlow. It’s not as easy as just dropping in the new version, cause I need to change a little bit in the JS file. At the moment I’m working on the new version of my other plugin and once that is done I’ll update NextGEN ImageFlow to use all the new available options. Might be another couple weeks, though.
Boris
Hi great plugin… is there anyway I can get the images to link to a website rather than a lightbox?
Hello, have you found a solution to Internet explorer not displaying the image flow correctly? It works perfect with all browsers except internet explorer
remove line above the scrollbar
WordPress 2.8.4
http://x-files.net.ua/
Theme – Pellucid Dashed 1.6
NextGEN-ImageFlow 1.2
[imageflow id="69"]
Hello!
Could you please tell me how to get rid of that horizontal wide white line, that is above the scrool bar??
Thanx a lot!
screenshot of settings – http://files.ka81.com/pic/imageflow_set.jpg
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/nextgen-imageflow/
in the css file remove the border on this element: .imageflow .scrollbar
Great plug in… One thing that I am having trouble with is the height of the imageflow div. It is essentially too large and pushing all elements out of the vertical center of the page. This height seems to be controlled by the js but I have yet to figure out how to adjust. Any suggestions? Oh and here is the page it is on http://paulcamerondp.com/still-photographer/automotive/
Hey Matt,
looks fine to me in Firefox. What browsers do the problems appear in? Might be a problem with your CSS.
Boris
Hi, I have translate your plugin to russian language. Please tell me Your email, simply reply me to my email. Thanks!
Boris, this is extremely useful! Thanks!
Two questions:
My gallery works, but when I click directly on the focused image, it opens in a new window as just that image file. Is there anyway I can prevent this?
Is there a way to change the default image size to make them bigger or smaller?
Thanks again.
@borris Great plugin! I am a newbie when it comes to this stuff, so this may be a stupid question; but is there anyway to add a hyperlink to the images so that they direct the user to another page on the site? The idea is to use the gallery kind of like a site navigation. Not sure if this is even possible though. Please let me know if you get a chance thanks.
Yeah, that’s possible. You’d need to hack some files though. It was on the roadmap of the new version, but I don’t think I got to it yet. Haven’t had a chance to work on the two plugins in a very long time. Too much else to do. I once used ImageFlow for navigation purposes. If I remember correctly I added the markup manually. That way you can easily specify the links. You can find more infos on the ImageFlow website.
The reflections are caching each time the page is loaded. Is there anyway to load the images for once not each time. I tried to change reflect2.php and reflect3.php but no go.
An how to increase the size of the thumbnails. Is there any option on backend or do i have to do it manually.
hi,
I have same problem in IE pls share how do I fix this also I want to know solution for video gallery with NGG pls advice
thanks
sarah
Ich möchte in meinem ImageFlow ALLE Bilder einbinden. Wie geht das? Im ImageFlow-Tag wird ja immer nur eine Gallery-ID angegeben.
size of the images are really small!!!
how can I increase the size ???
About the dimencions of the photo’s. what is the max wide and hight of the photo? The same question about teh Standard NextGen.
grtz from the Netherlands,
ErwinSK
I have installed imageflow plugin in my project. This is really a good plugin. But the speed of the imageflow is really slow. How can i increase its speed ?
Is it possible to chance the image size? now it resizes automaticly. I also want to have to front image overlapping the images behind a bit. How should i do this?
Great plugin btw.
Greetings, I love this plugin and really hope to be able to use it. I am inserting the code just as you’ve specified, however, the photos do not show up. The slider bar and the names of the photos appear but no actual images. If adding reflect2/3.php to my WordPress root folder is the issue, then I have no idea how to do that.
Thank you!
Hey there,
Thanks for the plugin, very impressive!
I have it installed on my site and all appears to be working fine except for the “on click” function. Works when i run the default setting, but if i change this to any of the other options (i.e. Highslide, New Window etc), it will no longer open up a linked image. Even when i change the settings back to default. To get the “on click” function working again i have to go to “setup” and select “reset settings”.
I know next to nothing about code but i did notice something funny happening in the “on click behaviour” setting. For example, when i select “Highslide” it changed the “on click behaviour” value to “Highslide” and the “if onClick” value to:
“function() { return hs.expand(this,{ src: this.getAttribute(‘longdesc’)})};”.
However, when i select “update” and go back to the settings, the “on click behaviour” value has changed back to “default” and the “if onClick” value looks to have changed slightly to:
“function() { return hs.expand(this,{ src: this.getAttribute(\’longdesc\’)})};”
* Note the “\” characters added to the later code.
I’ll look into it, Tony. Cheers, Boris.
Hello Boris,
Great plugin, which really enriches our site.
But i’m experiencing trouble alike tony. Although if i change the setting to “highslide” nothing happens after updating the settings. It doesn’t “remember” I selected “highslide” before…
It also doesn’t change the code, the value remains
“function() { document.location = this.url; }” at all times…
Hope you’ll be able to look into this, as my pictures aren’t opened with highslide on click. They’ll just open in _self as a normal picture…
Cheers & Thanks!
Sven
the same problem, went back to version 1.2
installed flow image in my wordpress 2.9.2, it loads the images have all the effects, but when you click on the image opens a new page, there’s the zoom effect – Behavior in the onClick option: it is the defaut, dumb and save back to defaut again.. highslide instaled ok..
sorry my bad english
