Hi

First of all congratulations on the plugin. I have been trying to install and get one running for over a month now with no success. Never got  any help and instructions were very scarce or non existant. Yours has a great site with details, well explained and a  simple plugin interface.

However I am not able to get it running. I suppose it has something to with the code placement, because the rest has all been set. I really need some help cause i have very limited coding knowledge.

This is the info I suppose you need:

I use WP2.9.1, and my url is http://www.maitravelsite.com

The theme I use is Nice Stars

I have the Featured Content Gallery plugin that comes with the theme deactivated

I want the DCG in my static home page, not where my blog posts are (page called Journal)

There is no  home.php

This is the code for the index.php

<?php get_header(); ?>   <div class="span-24" id="contentwrap">
   <div class="span-16">
    <div id="content"> 
                <?php if(is_home()) { include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/featured.php'); } ?>
} ?>  
     <?php if (have_posts()) : ?> 
      <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
      
      <div <?php post_class() ?> id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
       <h2 class="title"><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
       <div class="postdate"><img src="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/images/date.png" /> <?php the_time('F jS, Y') ?> <img src="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/images/user.png" /> <?php the_author() ?> <?php if (current_user_can('edit_post', $post->ID)) { ?> <img src="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/images/edit.png" /> <?php edit_post_link('Edit', '', ''); } ?></div>
   
       <div class="entry">
<?php if ( function_exists("has_post_thumbnail") && has_post_thumbnail() ) { the_post_thumbnail(array(200,160), array("class" => "alignleft post_thumbnail")); } ?>

        <?php the_content(''); ?>
       </div>
                            <div class="readmorecontent">
        <a class="readmore" href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>">Read More &raquo;</a>
       </div>
      </div><!–/post-<?php the_ID(); ?>–>
    
    <?php endwhile; ?>
    <div class="navigation">
     <?php if(function_exists('wp_pagenavi')) { wp_pagenavi(); } else { ?>
     <div class="alignleft"><?php next_posts_link('&laquo; Older Entries') ?></div>
     <div class="alignright"><?php previous_posts_link('Newer Entries &raquo;') ?></div>
     <?php } ?>
    </div>
    <?php else : ?>
     <h2 class="center">Not Found</h2>
     <p class="center">Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn't here.</p>
     <?php get_search_form(); ?>
   
    <?php endif; ?>
    </div>
   </div>
  
  <?php get_sidebars(); ?>
 </div>
<?php get_footer(); ?>

Don't know if you need it, but this is the code for page.php:

<?php get_header(); ?>
<div class="span-24" id="contentwrap">
 <div class="span-16">
  <div id="content"> 

   <?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
   <div class="post" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
   <h2 class="title"><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
    <div class="entry">
<?php if ( function_exists("has_post_thumbnail") && has_post_thumbnail() ) { the_post_thumbnail(array(300,225), array("class" => "alignleft post_thumbnail")); } ?>
     <?php the_content('<p class="serif">Read the rest of this page &raquo;</p>'); ?>
 
     <?php wp_link_pages(array('before' => '<p><strong>Pages:</strong> ', 'after' => '</p>', 'next_or_number' => 'number')); ?>
 
    </div>
   </div>
   <?php endwhile; endif; ?>
  <?php edit_post_link('Edit this entry.', '<p>', '</p>'); ?>
  </div>
 </div>
 

<?php get_sidebars(); ?>

</div>
<?php get_footer(); ?>

 

I really hope you can help me out as I am going bananas already.

Many thanks in advance.

Hi,

I would try placing this code in page.php, just below the div id="content" line:

<?php if( is_front_page() ) {

dynamic_content_gallery();

} ?>

Then, make sure you select "Home page" option in the Restrict Scripts options in the DCG's Settings page.

Thank you! Thank you very much. After weeks of trial and error, moving codes and what not DCG has done the deal and your support has been fundamental as i did not know where to plce the code. I will certainly spread the word about DCG> To see what it looks like in my travel blog check http://www.maitravelsite.com
