Hi!
I installed the gallery theme to my wordpress and thematic framework too, i want to have the featured content gallery but it doesn't appear, i changed the theme to the defaul theme and it worked.
I also noticed that the dropdown menu in the categories and pages section are "open" like if the mouse was over it, only on safari, firefox works normal. This only happens when i have the Featured Content Gallery plugin activated.
Thanks! :)
Sorry, here is my site

Thanks!
I noticed something else, the effect that the thumbnails had when you pass the pointer over its gone. (safari) If i uninstall FCG it works OK, and submenus work OK too.
Hope someone can help me please, i just want the FCG work ok, and my submenus and thumbnails work properly.
Thanks!

VonB,
You've got a few css errors, but I think you're biggest issue is that you need to use "no conflict mode" for your jQuery scripts.
Try changing this...
<script type="text/javascript">
function startGallery() {
var myGallery = new gallery($('myGallery'), {
timed: true
});
}
window.addEvent('domready',startGallery);
</script>'
to this

OK - I THINK that the problem is that the FCG is a mootools script and that's conflicting with the jQuery in the Gallery theme.
If you just need a slideshow - it may make your life easier to go with :
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-cycle/
Or look for FCG clone that's created with jQuery
If your set on using FCG - go to the plugin's forum and search "jQuery conflict" and see if there's a solution.
Someone else here may chime in with a fix, but that's the best I've got.
OK, thank you so much, i uninstalled FCG, many problems for a slideshow ;) With WP-Cycle, i get a error everytime i want to upload an image, i think that is because file permissions, but which file do i need to change, and which permissions do i give?
Thanks!

Can you post the error message you're getting?
Hi, sorry, i was out of town, but i have everything working on, the only thing i don't understand is why with some plugins my subemenus of categories are always open like if the mouse was over it, i think is related to the jQuery conflict.
I'm going to try to find a code for the none conflict to put it in my index.php.
Thanks you so much!
Hey have a question, now i have the code for the nonconflict, but where do i put it, in which file?
Thanks
Or at least in which type of file, a .php or .js? Maybe this is a stupid question but im new to this stuff :p

Did you work it out?
i just went to ...
and didn't see any conflict error message
Yep, i will try to look for an answer of the FCG before try again. I'm no the only one with this problem. Or maybe wait for another cool featured post slideshow that doesn't give me those problems. I had tried several, but they aren't what i'm looking for, or they give me this problems. (they don't work, or create a problem with my dropdown menus)
If you know something that may help me, please let me know. And again, thanks for the help! :D
Hi Chris,
I'm going to give it a try and i let you know my experience.
Thanks!
Hey Chris! Hey amygail!
Its working!!!!
Thank you so much for the help! :D Really happy!
For the people with this problem... I just added this code
function addscripts_featured_gallery() {
if(!function_exists(gallery_styles)) return;
gallery_styles();
}
add_action('wp_head', 'addscripts_featured_gallery', 12);
and then
function remove_featured_gallery_scripts() {
remove_action('wp_head', 'gallery_styles');
}
add_action('init','remove_featured_gallery_scripts', 1)
almost at the end of my functions.php of thematic.
No problems at all, until now everything its working nice!

Hello,
I try this solution and i just got the black box with the text, like Max Chirkov explain on this blog...
In whiches files do you put the jQuery.noConflict(); ? And do you only this line of code ?
Help-me please !!!!!
I have found that the Dynamic Content Gallery - which looks the same - functions better, less conflicts, validates xhtml and works with Thematic right out of the box. And has more options.

Thanks so much for the Dynamic Content Gallery recomendation! After fighting with Featured Content Gallery for weeks, I gave DCG a try and it worked right out of the box. Plus I really like all the additional options DCG offers. Only wish I would've found it a month ago!
@davecrow Glad I could help :)

^ I can only get DCG to with if I select jQuery rather than MooTools. Just wondering if you found the same?

Ya, I found the same to be true. I just got a black box until I switched from MooTools to jQuery. I don't know anything about Javascript, so does it really matter which one is selected?
UPDATE: I realize now that the jQuery version doesn't include a carousel, which I'd really like to have. Any advice on how to make the MooTools version work?
Hi there! Noted all the trouble with the various gallery plugins, then I tried "WP Nivo Slider" worked perfect for me!

Pleasant feeling!

Hi guys, I realize that this post is pretty old but just figured I'd post just in case it could help someone. The jQuery version does have the carousel but you must select the Heading in the upper right corner of the Slider window to view. Not sure if it's different in the MooTools version as I couldn't get that to work either.
