Hi,

I used the DCG on a Studiopress theme and it worked fine.

I changed the theme and want to have the DCG plugin showing on the home page [home], which I selected in Settings -> Reading -> Static -> Front -> [Home] and it does not show at all.

In DCG settings I selected Home page only, and I tried Pages [id] – no success.

The Dynamic Content Gallery in a widget works fine, but I don’t like it there. Do I have to insert any code on the [home] page or the template?

I use WordPress 3.0.

Hi,

Yes, you need to add the DCG template tag to your front page using a Studiopress hook. Which one to use depends on where exactly you want the DCG to appear. Then add this to your child theme's functions.php:

function load_dcg() {
if( is_front_page() ) {
dynamic_content_gallery();
}
}
add_action('studiopress_hook_name', 'load_dcg');

Hello,

On [Home] I display a slider, on a [Gallery] page I like to integrate DCG (it will be a photo site).

I added your code in child's functions.php and in settings I selected Pages [id] – but still I don't see the DCG on the [Gallery] page.

I must say I switched back to Studiopress, but I like to have it work on different themes because of presentation purposes.

Hi,

Did you replace studiopress_hook_name with the actual hook name? You must do this.

Hello,

Sorry, I am a "Classic" user and new to "Genesis". I installed the Simple Hooks Plugin, but I don't know, which hook to choose and if I have to make changes there.

Hi,

So, you are using a Genesis child theme?

If so, decide where you want the DCG to appear, then add this code in the appropriate "hook" box in the Simple Hooks Plugin screen:

function load_dcg() {
if( is_front_page() ) {
dynamic_content_gallery();
}
}

Thanks Ade, I was testing it on Classic, Child and a non Studiopress theme – worked on all of them.

Thanks, I get used to hooks and functions in child themes. I decided putting dcg on home page and using a gallery plugin throughout pages and posts.

Hello,

When I select #5 JavaScript framework Mootools in DCG CSS errors appear right after DCG installation.

When I switch to jQuery they are gone. But the problem I have with jQuery option the arrows for next and previous image are gone too and when I click in these areas the post get activated and not the next or previous image shows up.

I did not activate any other plugin. Is there anything I can do?
