Hi,

I can seem to get the DCG to work in Thesis. I've been through at least half a dozen tutorials without success.

However, I have successfully used the DCG on another WP theme.

I'm also getting the following warning message:

"This version of Dynamic Content Gallery requires that your theme supports the WP Post Thumbnails feature."

Any suggestions?

DCG Version 3.3.5

WordPress Version 3.2.1

URL: barbadosorchidsociety.org

Thanks.

I installed DCG plugin via WP plugins.

I'm using Thesis 1.8.

I've added the template code to the custom_functions.php file.

And I still don't understand the error message because WP's post thumbnails feature is present.

I just took the site out of maintenance mode and replaced my php code with yours. The slider still isn't showing up on the home page, but it does work perfectly if I put it in the sidebar. So all is working, the only remaining challenge is to get the slider to appear on the home page. Sooo close!

About the post thumbnail warning, I'm not getting that warning message. I have read through the configuration guide and faq section many times.

Here are the setting I'm using:

Image Management: full URL
Carousel Thumbnails: legacy
Gallery Method: one-category | Default Images folder is: not defined
Descriptions: manual
Javascript Options: mootools
Load Scripts: Home Page
Tools – Error Message options: on

Any other suggestions? Thanks!

Thanks. I check back with the Thesis forum. (The MultiMedia box can't be added to the content area)

I amended the code you provided to:

i.e. I amended the hook and the DCG is now showing. I haven't fully configured it yet so it's not functional or aligned correctly but I think it will be okay now.

Thanks, for all your help.

You can control the position of the DCG by going to Design Options => Feature Box => Placement and then choosing where you want to display the DCG. Then, depending upon where you place the DCG, you configure the dimensions of the DCG accordingly.

I'm not an expert in this but I tried this on a website I was working on and it was fine. I looked at your site and it appears as though you have placed the DCG in the sidebar widget. From what I understand, you have to choose one mode of displaying DCG. So, if you want to use Thesis's Feature Box, delete the DCG widget in the sidebar.

Hello Ade. Thanks for the reply.
I tried that earlier with no luck. Here is the hooks page for the Feature box:
http://diythemes.com/thesis/rtfm/hooks/thesis_hook…..ature_box/

I tried changing the code from this:

add_theme_support('post-thumbnails');
function add_dynamic_gallery () {
if( is_front_page() ) {
dynamic_content_gallery();
}
}
add_action('thesis_hook_post_box', 'add_dynamic_gallery');

to this:

add_theme_support('post-thumbnails');
function add_dynamic_gallery () {
if( is_front_page() ) {
dynamic_content_gallery();
}
}
add_action('thesis_hook_feature_box', 'add_dynamic_gallery');

Neither worked.
We are trying to get an answer over in the Thesis forum, but no solution yet.

After reviewing the hook page and these scripts, did I miss something?
