not resolved
Hi Byron,
I read many posts here and tried all the possibilities to fix the issue myself, but could not do it.
I have enabled rating from the gallery settings and the plugin settings both but still I am unable to see the rating stars. It just shows the space but not the stars image.
You can see the issue at http://www.myrescueteam.com/betawebsite/gallery/?psmash-gallery=2
Please help
thanks
Hi Hozyali,
I think the problem is that the layout being used for this does not contain the rating code. The link you gave is the link for a gallery being viewed through the Gallery Viewer. This uses a different layout than the standard layout.
So, you can add the Rating code to the layout that is being shown there...go to PhotoSmash Settings / Advanced and make sure "Show Advanced Menu Items:" is turned on...you should see a link to Layouts Editor at the top if it is.
Then go to Layouts Editor and edit layout: gallery_view_layout
Add [ps_rating] to the HTML Layout section where you would like it to show.
Hope that helps.

Hello,
Thanks for your reply. I enabled Advanced menu items, and then went to layout editor and checked the HTML code too. It already has the ps_rating in its place and I still can't see the rating stars.
I also have another important question. I am a php coder too but lesser experience than you :-)... is it possible to make it so each image can have its own comments?
please help.
It looks like you have a plugin "Thickbox" that is doubling up on loading jquery. If you view source on the page, here is the problem line:
<script src="http://www.myrescueteam.com/betawebsite/wp-content/plugins/thickbox/thickbox/jquery.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
That is causing javascript errors (there may be other things causing JS errors, but that one is for sure).
This has a couple of links to articles that should help: http://smashly.net/community/topic/cant-upload-images-add-photo-link-doesnt-work
Hope that helps,
Byron
Oh yes, I installed ThickBox earlier when I was having trouble with upload form and thought I need to install it. But then I found an article in your site about wp_footer issue and it fixed it.
So I just disabled TB, and it is working perfect now.
The only issue is I need to allow individual images comments.
Can you advise how can I achieve this?
thanks a lot for your help.
Welcome!
On the comments, the only way to do that at this point is to use something like PhotoSmash Extend to create individual Posts for each image upload. Extend has a module that lets you do that. Here's a post that gives a little more detail on it http://smashly.net/blog/photosmash-extend-is-nearly-ready/
Cheers,
Byron
thanks. seems that it will be good for me. how much will it cost to have it? and how long it will take to be 100% ready?
thanks
Hozyali,
It's $25 and the functionality is ready today. I'm adding more documentation and possibly more functionality down the road, but nothing is planned at this point.
Cheers,
Byron
ok. price seems reasonable. but I have a question. as I read it will create posts for each image, won't those images get listed separately as a blog post in our blog section where we separately post articles also.
is there any demo available for that?
please advise.
Yes, those posts will be listed in as blog posts in your blog section. I have not updated Extend to utilize the new Post Types (I think that's the term) that is available in WP 3.0. I think with the Post Types you can exclude certain post types from showing up in different sections of your blog...but again, Extend doesn't do that at this time.
You can see this in action at SavorySights.com and BeforeAfters.com. Also, StLouie.com, but I'm using that for testing at this time so there are some strange things getting posted out there. But Stlouie.com has the most full featured implementation of this functionality.
Cheers,
Byron
Hi Byron,
thanks. if we simply pay the 25 bucks fee, will you be able to set it up on our wordpress website and also implement that post types functionality so the posts made by your plugin do not get listed in our site's other blog section?
that is all I need I think for now.
Hi Hozyali,
Sorry, no. The $25 is just for the membership that provides 1 year access to the download page (updates) and the other documentation around Extend. When my schedule permits, I do take on consulting work to help people get their sites configured. My rate is pretty reasonable. I'd be happy to provide you with an estimate if you gave me a detailed description of what you're wanting done, but chances are that you could get it set up without my help.
Another thought on how you might get comments on your images is to use the WP Attachments feature. PhotoSmash can add your images to your Media Library. When it does that, it can attach them to the post that the gallery is related to. You can then utilize the WP attachments pages, which allows you to comment on them. I'm working with this feature right now and am finding the attachment links to be unreliable (that is, they work great in 1 blog, but not at all in 2 others...I'm banging my head trying to figure out what the problem is).
The Post Types functionality will not be in Extend any time soon, but there are other ways to exclude posts from showing on the front page. Here is a link that gives a really quick fix for doing this by excluding a certain category or categories: http://zeo.my/exclude-category-in-wordpress/
Another resource that provides quality assistance in these sorts of things is the WP HelpCenter: http://crowdfavorite.com/wphelpcenter/
Hope that helps,
Byron
so in other words, if I just buy that 25 bucks membership, will I be able to use the commenting function on each individual image?
Try this first:
Go into Gallery Settings, select your Gallery and click Edit. Set "Image caption style:" to "Caption (thumbs & captions link to WP Attachment Page)". Save it. Then view an image. If this works, then you should be able to add comments just like that.
I believe there may be a bug in the way WP handles adding attachments to Pages, so if your gallery is on a Page (as opposed to a Post), it might not work. (I've logged a ticket with WP to get this straightened out...hopefully.)
In that case, if you buy the membership, you get PhotoSmash Extend, and you should be able to configure it to automatically create a separate post for each image that is uploaded via the front-end of your blog (Photo Manager uploads work a little differently since they use the WP Media Uploader). These posts are just like any other post and can get comments.
PhotoSmash Extend should work on your system if you're able to run the standard PhotoSmash plugin on it. So, I'd recommend making sure that works first.
Sorry I didn't give you a simple yes or no, but I figure this is better than a Maybe :-)
Cheers,
Byron
Hi Byron,
Appreciate your help. thanks very much.
I tried the way you mentioned but it does not work either.
You can see the gallery at http://www.myrescueteam.com/betawebsite/gallery?psmash-gallery=2
Please advise.
Thanks
if possible, please just let me know how much you will charge for this?
your plugin is already installed and seems to be working fine.
I just need the comments functionality in individual images uploaded either by admin or my site's users.
Thanks
Hi hozyali,
Send me an email through the Contact page, and we can work out the details.
Cheers,
Byron
hi, I emailed you a few days ago about the Extend installation and config issues. Can you please respond to it.
Appreciate your help.
Thanks
Ali
Responding...

Byron,
the only help I need is to fix the Thumbnail Image link. Can you please just tell me how do I fix this?
I tried to change it from the admin settings but it does not work either.
As you helped with the install of Extend, it works fine and creates the post of the images also. I just need the whole thumbnail to link to its post image instead of opening it in lightbox.
Please help.
thanks
Hi Ali,
In the custom layout (Layout Editor), you'll need to change the code to use [post_url].
Depending on what is currently being used, it may require more extensive changes. If it is using [thumbnail], then you will need to rebuild it so that you encapsulate it in an href that links to [post_url]...something like:
<a href='[post_url]'><img src='[thumb_image]' /></a>Hope that helps,
BB
byron,
thanks a lot. this is what I needed. thanks again.
kindly advise how to pay your extend fee?
regards
Excellent! Glad it worked. You can pay through the Donate link here: http://smashly.net/photosmash-galleries/ Thanks!
Cheers,
Byron
ok. your payment should be made shortly as I have told my client to pay directly on your site.
I am having a minor problem. on this page http://www.myrescueteam.com/betawebsite/gallery/firefighter-tattoos which you setup initially, the upload form is displayed which is ok, but it also appears when the user is not logged in. I need this form to appear only if the user is logged in. can you suggest anyway for this?
thanks
Hi Ali,
Thanks! Yes, you just need to set the Gallery Setting / Upload tab / "Minimum Role to Upload Photos" to "Subscriber". Make sure you edit all of the galleries and set them to that.
Hope that helps,
Byron
thanks, I have another question if you can help with.
is it possible to create a page in the gallery which should list the images which are most commented?
thanks
Unfortunately, no. The galleries are not aware of the comment counts.
