Difficult to do without a complete rewrite, I’m afraid.

What would it take to implement multiple copies of the plugin into one blog? I would really love to use it 2 to 3 times in order to highlight specific posts in several different categories on different sliders.

Hi,

Yes, the description is pulled from the db as a custom field (unless you’re using Auto descriptions).

ehh =_= need to fix the second example
– in case i have 2 languages set up via qtranslate i end up with qtranslate tags and booth parts of the post/page. (example: “hello theresveikiПревед”)

The problem is it parses the content of the posts/pages (which go to the header and excerpt parts of the text in the gallery)
example:
– if i have a single language and no qt i get the proper text and corresponding image linking to the post. (example: “hello there”)
– in case i have 2 languages set up via qtranslate i end up with qtranslate tags and booth parts of the post/page. (example: “hello theresveikiПревед”)
my wild guess is that the gallery part either ignores the qt tags at all, or loads the texts directly from db and parses them to the gallery before the texts are managed by qtranslate to be filtered by the currently used language on the site.

I love the DCG plugin, but am wondering if there is any way to use the post thumbnail images to create the featured content slideshow. I am using the WordPress built-in post_thumbnails for the posts and would love to use them rather than have to use the custom fields in addition to them. Also the it is easier for contributers who are not that tech savvy to set the post thumbnail from gallery than to work with the custom fields.

I’ve just started using this plugin on a site of mine and I love it!

I was having a problem where I was getting a partial border added to the splash images (probably from some of the css in my Atahualpa theme)…

I found that if I add the following css, the inherited borders are overriden and removed just for images presented by dcg.

#dfcg_images .panel img { /* Fixes image formatting problem for splash */ border: 0px solid transparent; padding: 0px; /* Some other CSS in the system will cause this to have a non-zero value, overriding to zero here*/ margin:0px; }

It may be worth merging this or something close to it in to the plugin so others with this problem don’t even know it.

Also, it may be relevant to point out that I’m using the jquery version the other doesn’t work for me, get some weird javascript errors and got tired trying to debug it.
