Hallo,
leider bekomme bei dem Aktivieren des Plugins folgeden Fehler.
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare nggshowsimpleviewer() in /www/htdocs/w0093e39/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/nggflashviewer/nggflashviewer.php on line 204
Ansonste super Addon!
Gruß André
André, hattest Du vorher NextGEN SimpleViewer installiert? Welche WP version nimmmst Du her?
Boris, hi gr8 add-on! esp the tileviewer! Thx!
I have a problem with simpleviewer … i added [simpleviewer=13,500,600]
[simpleviewer=13,500,600]to my post and all it returned was … just
in the post …. No viewer appeared. I have uploaded the swf files as per your instructions.. Any ideas where it is going wrong?
Sam, what WP and NGG version do you use? Not too sure what the problem is right now. It works on my site here as you can see, although there do seem to be some problems with it…
I get this error on WP 2.5 after following the instructions above: “Sorry, NextGEN FlashViewer works only in combination with NextGEN Gallery.
Brant, I guess that means that you don’t have NextGEN Gallery installed. This is a requirement for NextGEN Flashviewer as it gets the images from there…
I really appreciate someone developped that plug-in, but unfortunately it does not work on my blog whih is wp2.5 and ngg 0.92 although i placed the swfs in the nggflashplug-in folder the page reds “[viewer.swf not found]” thank you for providing any solutions to make your wonderful toy work. thank you
This is just what I was looking for! And it works flawlessly with WP-2.5. The display options for each viewer is really a much needed (and appreciated) bonus. Great job. SEE- http://tinyurl.com/2av54r
It does have an one odd behavior of slowing/locking tab switching in Firefox. ?

Pablo, glad you like it and that it works.
Laurent and everybody who has some problems:
I am pretty new to php and programming and I will be away in the New Zealand bush for the next week, but I got a few books and I will start getting more into this whole programming bit. Hopefully I will be able to fix the problems some people have with my plugin in the near future. Please bear with me…
if you have any of the .swf (viewr, tiltviewer, autoviewer or any) installed twice of three times somewhere in any plugin directory it gives an error. so be sure to have any swf, only once in the total plugin directory and then it works. i had the same 204-error in php but not when it could get declared again.
success,
ivan
Boris, I downloaded the latest NGG for 2.5 and also using WP 2.5.
Both the tileviewer and autoviewer work … but simpleviewer does not still work!
I have viewer.swf in the plugin directory etc.
Anyone finding the same prob? … Any pointers to why?
Same as brant:
“Sorry, NextGEN FlashViewer works only in combination with NextGEN Gallery”
WP 2.5, NextGEN FlashViewer 0.60, NextGEN Gallery 0.92, NextGEN Gallery Widget 1.21
Nextgen is installed and working fine.
Hi Boris,
auf meiner Seite ist der Simple Viewer mit schwarzem hintergrund – bei Dir ist der Hintegrund weiß. Bei deiner Version wird beim SimpleViewer (und bei dne anderen Viewer) kein Download Link auf die Seite angezeigt….
Wie hast du den Hintegrund weiß bekommen?
i thing is cause when you unzip the file is not “nggflashviewer” is “nexgen-flashviewer” try to chance the name of file
And 1 more thing the .SWF need to be inside “nggflashviewer” not in pluig in file root

Same problem as Sam. Using WP 2.5 and NGG 0.92
@LDMX, I thought that was clear. With plugin folder I mean the nggflashviewer folder, not the plugins (note the extra s :) root folder. I’ll change that… You should always change the name of the plugin folder to the name of the main file, so nggflashviewer in this case. wordpress.org makes that .zip-file automatically and packs it into the the nextgen-flashwiewer.zip file…
@Nina, ich habe die professionellen Versionen. Da gibt es keinen Download Link. Den Hintergrund kannst Du im Adminbereich Gallery->FlashViewer und dann bei den jeweiligen Viewern ändern.
@All, off to work, have a nice week…
hallo all,
this is really a very nice plugin/addon and i am glad someone found the time to do this. however, i am also facing the problem that i can not successfully activate the plugin.
i have nextgen gallery 0.92 working fine but when i activate the flashviewer i also get the message “Sorry, NextGEN FlashViewer works only in combination with NextGEN Gallery.” so the check if the nggallery class exists is somehow faulty … but i don’t know what. i’d appreciate any help on that issue because i would really like to use the flash viewer :)
greetings to new zealand,
martin
Thanks for all the help everyone! I’m still not having any luck.
I have NGGallery 0.92 working. I have your flash plugin and the .swf’s installed and working. I can even get to the admin pages in “Gallery” and see the FlashViewe options for all the modes. None of the shortcodes work.
http://www.jamesadamthwaite.com/chemtrails
it’s just displaying the actual shortcode. When I use {gallery=1} it works, but none of the {tiltviewer=1,500,500} work.
Thanks!
I confirm that after renaming the folder to nggflashviewer, the plugins can be activated.
