Hello, i am with wordpress 3.0.1 and last version of DCG. My site is http://www.news.igrach.com. I have tried everything to make it work but no result. I have another site – http://www.poker-style.net/test1 and there everything is working just fine.

I have installed FCG and DCG on poker-style with no problems. As i am moving the site to news.igrach.com i installed them there (not on the same time), but they both are not working.

DCG shows only the black box and FCG is even worse. Could you loot at it and give me a hint what to do. Tried to put Jqery, but not working – shows empty field. Help, pls!

Hi,

Looks like a javascript conflict to me. Are you sure you've disabled other plugiuns which use javascript? Perhaps the theme is loading javascript?

Try switching to jQuery in the DCG Settings page.

I too am suffering from The Case of the Black Box. I can see via the Developer Tools in Chrome that the PHP is indeed doing its job: generating all the proper divs and linkage to everything. To make sure I wasn't going crazy, I altered the dfcg-gallery-jquery-styles.php to #dfcg_images { visibility: visable; }. That's right. I've already tried switching things to jQuery, to no avail. So now I can SEE everything is loaded… but nothing animates! Where are those fluid transitions hiding?

From a bit of research and what has been mentioned here, I'm fairly sure this is being caused by a Javascript Conflict. However, all other plugins have been deactivated. Could the custom Javascript I wrote inside the Header be a culprit here? Hoping there's just something I'm missing. Wouldn't want to code a Feature Content Area from scratch at the moment. Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

The area in question is found under the Headlines section. Drilling Div Structure: wrapper > main > columnOne > a480x360 > c480x329

Hi,

Try temporarily removing the javascript you've added and see what happens. 99.9% of the time (I want to say 100%, but am hedging my bets, lol) the black box problem is a js conflict…

Trust your instincts Ade, because it was indeed a Javascript conflict. Experiments in commenting-out lines proved that one call out to the new jQuery script was causing problems. Now the plugin works! Well… mostly. Can't seem to get the arrow navigation to appear over the dynamic awesomeness. Any ideas?

But just in case someone else has this issue and also REALLY needs the other Javascript conflicting with the Dynamic Content Gallery, I've found a solution! It called No Conflict Mode. And yes, it is the best. Kind of an advanced maneuver, scripting wise, but will definitely cure that coding headache of yours.

Thanks a ton Ade. Happy coding!

Thanks for posting back with your fix. The noConflict issue will be fixed in the next release of the DCG. The lack of arrows is a bug with jQuery 1.3.2 (WP 3+ ships with jQuery 1.4) and this too will be fixed in the next release.
