The #1 best selling gallery on CodeCanyon

This responsive WordPress gallery plugin aligns your thumbnails into a justified grid using jQuery, like Flickr and Google image search. Make your galleries stand out in an eye-catching and unique new way! Replace the standard WP galleries [gallery] as [justified_image_grid] with lots of new features and options. WordPress will manage the galleries and this plugin will display them. Or alternatively you can load images from Facebook, Flickr, Instagram or use NextGEN as an image manager/source. Unleash the power of image RSS Feeds and pull videos from Youtube, Vimeo and images from 500px, Pinterest, deviantART, Stumbleupon, Imgur, Tumblr, WordPress.com blogs and more! Or just make a responsive banner of Recent posts using their featured images! Also works with custom post types and custom taxonomies. Filter the thumbnails by tags or any taxonomy!Control every aspect: row height, appearance, special effects like desaturation, color overlay with magnifier icon, borders, multiple captions, free and premium lightboxes, mouse activated animation… It’s easy to install and comes with 18 presets out of the box. The setup is a breeze with two admin areas: the plugin settings and the Shortcode Editor (you can edit your previously generated shortcodes!). 224 settings are spread over a tabbed interface in two admin areas for quick access. The settings are available to change on a per gallery basis, extending the global settings and presets. No coding skills are required. There is no need to remember shortcode attributes/values because of the Shortcode Editor that has examples and contextual help.

Your download includes an extensive 62 pages PDF documentation with full settings reference, troubleshooting guide and clickable bookmarks – table of contents. There are also some narrated HD videos available. An excellent, fast-response support is provided with guaranteed reply. It covers installation, technical and compatibility issues. Buy with confidence, the author is here to help!

Extended license doesn’t cover multiple uses! You need to purchase a regular or an extended license for every site. You can’t resell the plugin as part of a stock theme, the extended license doesn’t allow you to do that.

Updates / Changelog What’s next?

I’ll continue adding my original ideas that were planned to be added to v1.6 but it was expedited due to NextGEN 2. Updates will be slightly more frequent after the ‘summer break’.

v1.6.2 – August 26, 2013 – Bugfixes, maintaining NG2 compatibility

Bugfix: NextGEN tag galleries are not looking into other taxonomies other than ngg_tag resulting in a more consistent behavior (as they are looking into both term names and slugs, it sometimes matched a term from a non-NextGEN taxonomy) Bugfix: NextGEN albums and galleries are detected better from the URL, they interfered with some custom taxonomy page views Bugfix: NextGEN intersect tags feature now has a prevention for an unnecessary wrong DB query Bugfix: Instagram names with a symbol in them caused settings loss or weird behavior, now they are stripped (this was supposed to be added in a previous update, somehow it got left out) Updated NextGEN 2.0.14 compatibility: JIG takes over NG shortcodes properly Added empty index.html files to every folder of the plugin to disallow directory browsing

v1.6.1 – August 26, 2013 – Hotfix and a new small setting

Added: Intersect tags for NextGEN tag galleries to have the ability to display images that match all of the specified tags and not just any of them Bugfix: Shortcode editor loads (Youtube, deviantART) feed URLs or other values with an equal mark (=) properly for editing, previously it was cut off at the first occurrence Bugfix: Hidden limit is working properly now. In some cases it was incorrectly disabled. Updated: Documentation, Localization files

v1.6 – August 26, 2013 – RSS Feeds (any image source), NextGEN 2 compatibility, larger Facebook images, animated gifs, settings import/export and uninstall, custom taxonomy filter for Recent posts

New image source: RSS/Atom feeds: This update is not just about NG2, no! It’s mainly about RSS Feeds and the immense power it brings to JIG With RSS you are able to pull images into JIG from a wide range of possible sites Semi-dedicated support for the following image sources, using RSS: Youtube Vimeo 500px Pinterest deviantART Stumbleupon Imgur Tumblr WordPress.com

Feed URL generator for the above sites, you supply the regular link and a helper tool converts it to the feed URL Any site can become an image source if it has a feed with images in it! The RSS feature is not limited to the list of sites above. New tab called ‘RSS’ in the shortcode editor with 8 new settings Link RSS images to their permalink or the image itself (RSS Reader mode or RSS Gallery mode basically) Set description like WP Recent Posts feature (auto excerpt, date and time) Optional lightbox backlink when images are opened in the lightbox Possibility to load anything into JIG via a custom RSS feed (for advanced users)

Nextgen 2 compatibility Compatibility for both NG 1.9.x and NG 2+ All functions regarding NG have been rewritten, JIG no longer uses the nggdb class, furthermore the nggGallery class is only used for options getting and internationalization. JIG now has its own functions for creating/interpreting links, communicating with the database (regarding NextGEN contents). Database access has been heavily optimized to use the least possible queries since JIG uses its own methods for that. It yields significant performance advantage over NG2 and NG1. You can enjoy the performance benefit by only showing NG content through JIG on a given page. This can save 100 queries or more easily. Fixed the chaos that C_Photocrati_Resource_Manager class caused, (modifying the loading and execution order of ALL scripts using object buffer) – when that class is present (or anything else overrides the ‘holy’ order), JIG will use $(document).ready(function(){ ... }); instead of the self-invoking anonymous function (function(){ ... })(); – after I did this, the “run_ngg_resource_manager” hook that was added in NG 2.0.11 so I also made use of that Added a new option for the ng_recent_images to display recent images in a way that NG2 does it. It takes into account the EXIF date of the image. If you have just uploaded an image, but it has an old EXIF date, it won’t be the most recent image – this may not be the desired result! So you have the ability to choose to display recent images just by their upload date (NG 1.9.x style) or to take EXIF into account (NG 2 style, often undesired). When displaying multiple galleries, combined by entering (comma separated) multiple ids to ng_gallery shortcode attribute, the ordering of pictures is taken into account by a whole, producing the same result as NG2. Previously the ordering got applied to the individual galleries and they were merged afterwards. The ng_pics shortcode attribute was checked for NG2 compatibility and got improved to actually display the images in the order they are entered (as comma separated multiple ids) – the single (one) image feature is unaffected by this. The ng_random_images now accepts a comma separated list of multiple gallery ids to allow random images from multiple galleries. The display of NG albums takes the global sorting setting into account. NG2 only allows you to reverse your custom order by default, but JIG extends this to be able to sort album contents (galleries and subalbums combined) by Title or ID. This is useful for sorting by gallery Title A-Z when displaying multiple albums together (next changelog entry) or in the Overview album (all galleries) mode. The ID can be used to sort gallery/subalbum creation order. Feature is extended to NG1. You can now display multiple albums using a comma separated list with the ng_album shortcode attribute. Feature was added with NG2 but JIG makes it available for use with NG1 too. The global sort options of NG now apply to tag galleries and tag galleries accessed via tag albums. The tag albums are now in created in the order you specify them in the shortcode. It’s enabled for NG1, even though only NG2 has this natively. Everything uses the sort options of NG and reflects the same order as you see in NG2 natively, given the same options. This means ordering is set in NG. The random order is available at all times via JIG’s orderby shortcode attribute. Breadcrumbs and permalinks have been checked to work with either permalinks on or off and NG1 or NG2. Tested on a top-level domain and as well as a /wordpress/ directory installation (the latter is significantly different). Featured images for Recent posts using NextGEN have been re-checked. NG2 copies the image to the WP media library so it works well. NG1 and old WP (pre media updates) uses ngg_ prefix for _thumbnail_id postmeta, JIG can handle that too for backwards compatibility. JIG can now take over ngg_images shortcodes. New setting: “Take over NextGEN 2 post inserts” as JIG can take over the new NG2 post inserts (the new way of NG2 that is instead of shortcodes). “Remove usually unnecessary NextGEN files from the page” setting is updated to include a NG2 file. v1.6 is tested for NextGEN 2.0.11 compatibility

Added: Using Recent Posts feature, when Click on a thumbnail link to an image (lightbox image gallery of posts), a permalink can be placed in the lightbox as a way to go to the parent post (similar to Flickr, Instagram, RSS backlinks in the lightbox) Added: Ability to pre-filter Recent posts by terms of any (including custom) taxonomy Added: Recent posts can now make use of WP Sticky posts – no preference or only show sticky posts or exclude them Added: Ability to show posts (or pages and custom post type) by manually specifying IDs (Recent posts feature) Added: Ability to open images on a new tab, by the browser (a new ‘lightbox’ setting) Added: Ability to disregard custom links (as an exception for a particular grid) – new option for Custom link’s target (only in the Shortcode Editor) Added: Animated GIF support (skips TimThumb or Jetpack Photon) – a new setting Added: Ability to show larger image in the lightbox from Facebook (normal: 720px max, larger: the new default, maximum: up to 4MP – 2048px) Added: Facebook overview feature’s breadcrumb’s home element can be a custom text instead of page/profile name Added: Custom text to add before & after each gallery (can be disabled on individual instances) Added: Import/Export settings (with optional encryption) DB caches are not transferred Added: Reset settings (wipe all JIG settings from the options table, DB caches are not wiped) – forces JIG to rebuild the settings and start over from defaults Added: Proper uninstall. It’s a setting that provides a way to select how to uninstall the next time you delete the plugin. Comes with 3 options: No change: Keep settings and caches in the database (default, allows smooth updates). Full removal: Remove settings and caches from the database. Partial removal: Remove settings from the database but keep the caches.

Improved: jQuery source setting is more aggressive, more compatible and has more options with exact version numbers. Improved: You can now use category slugs, not just IDs when pre-filtering Recent posts Improved: Shortcode editor now supports foreign and all special characters (accented, russian, chinese etc) for loading and generating shortcodes, can match URLs with query strings for RSS url Improved: If ‘items’ is empty (the list of images), JIG will display an error, stop processing further code and not add anything else to the source Improved: Theme compatibility, countering CSS rule of img elements’ “visibility: hidden;” Improved: PrettyPhoto is now able to properly re-open with advanced deeplinking with any website (iframe) or image URL in the deeplinking path Changed: NextGEN max limit increased from 500 to 1000 (still not recommended) Changed: Recent posts has a default limit of 10 when no limit is set Bugfix: When Facebook doesn’t retun an expiry time for the access token, a default of 2 months will be used instead of expiring the entity immediately and raising a false red expiry alert Bugfix: Expired Facebook entities weren’t displaying a red border, only on hover (on the Facebook tab in the settings) Bugfix: Facebook overview mode would crash if the album cover’s resolution is smaller than max height (row height + deviation), now allowing upscale Bugfix: Facebook overview only albums feature included Mobile Uploads album where it’s not a normal album, now they are filtered by type ‘normal’ of the Facebook API Bugfix: When thumbnail width is not supplied for any reason, the image is now skipped (in JS), this prevents a crash that could stop further script execution Bugfix: When limit is set to 0 then 500 images are pulled from Facebook as intended (limit imposed by API) – previously it loaded none or 100 images. Bugfix: All other image sources’ limits have also been improved. Bugfix: NextGEN random and recent feaute now only have the default limit of 25 when no limit is set. Bugfix: Template tag information alert now correctly appears when NextGEN is not installed. Previously it generated a template tag no matter what, while it needs an image source selected. Bugfix: Facebook, Flickr and Instagram keys and secrets can still be used when the user erroneously copies them with surrounding whitespace. Previously this case generated weird errors (can’t find user, invalid key etc.) Bugfix: Z-index fixed for the borders, that sometimes interfered with drop down menus Checked: for jQuery v1.10.2 and v2.0.3 compatibility with a positive result. Checked: for WP 3.6 compatibility, no problems found. Updated: Documentation Updated: MobileDetect to 2.6.8 Updated: ColorBox to v1.4.27 Updated: Localization

v1.5.1 – June 3, 2013 – Hotfix update that affects Filtering, Aspect Ratio and Facebook overview

New setting: Facebook overview caching time – because overview was slow when showing a large amount of albums Improved: Some contextual help changes Bugfix: Filtering was really really slow, fixed! Bugfix: Aspect ratio calculation was rounded, now it’s properly precise Bugfix: Facebook overview caching time was just a few hours and couldn’t be set Bugfix: Flickr “Look for and allow hi-res photos” feature didn’t work properly Bugfix: Using a blank page to create a photo wall the grid would only display one very long row (only when using css3-mediaqueries.js) Updated: Documentation, Localization

v1.5 – June 1, 2013 – The biggest update yet! – Instagram, Filtering, Facebook overview, Fixed aspect ratio, Randomize width, Individual Facebook like with prettyPhoto advanced deeplinking, better SEO, Admin interface improvements, and much more…

New image source: Instagram, available options:

Your feed (what appears to you, by others) Your recent photos Photos you like Someone else’s recent photos (with user search) Recent photos by a tag (with tag search) Recent photos from a location (just paste a url from Worldcam) Other available features: Any number of images, Instagram data caching, Cache purging, Link back to Instagram, Mandatory authentication, Access token expiry notification

New feature: Filtering. Ability to choose any taxonomy and use their terms as a set of Buttons or Tag cloud above the grid, to narrow images on the fly. Examples: Post and WP image tags and categories; NextGEN, Instagram and Flickr tags, Custom post types’ custom taxonomies e.g. WooCommerce; Media Library Assistant custom image taxonomies… Buttons and the Tag cloud are well styleable. New feature: Facebook overview: Allows you to select the entire collection of albums of a profile or page automatically and explore those albums on a different page – all using Justified Image Grid

Includes new settings such as Facebook breadcrumbs, renameable overview slug, works with or without permalink automatically, works on the front page as well. Ability to open the Facebook albums in the lightbox, without leaving the page is also included.

New feature: Aspect ratio: Crop to a fixed aspect ratio for those that prefer their thumbnails cropped to create regular looking galleries that are still automatically scaled and responsive New feature: Randomize thumbnail width to make a grid of same-aspect-ratio images look more interesting by automatically cropping or extending by a random amount in a given range New feature: Proper individual Facebook like with a further-customized prettyPhoto. With the new custom prettyPhoto you are finally able to:

Like an image on Facebook and see its own thumbnail Like a photo/video/iframe in a randomly ordered or regularly updated grid, and its unique URL will stay the same regardless of its numerical position When following the liked content on Facebook, prettyPhoto will re-open the content properly These new features are under the ‘Advanced deeplinking’ feature and are much less likely to be disabled by other plugins They only work with Justified Image Grid as there are server-side components to the new feature The generated and shared prettyPhoto deeplink URLs are backwards compatible When you use custom link rel to rename ‘prettyPhoto’ in the URL, e.g. ‘mygallery’, the deeplinking will still work and prettyPhoto will re-open Use the prev/next mini buttons on videos and iframes not just photos Point a thumbnail to open a different picture in the lightbox and still have prev/next arrows

Added: 3 new settings to prettyPhoto so you don’t need to ‘code’ these manually (most often asked for/changed):

prettyPhoto themes (you can choose from five themes with a setting, available to change on a per grid basis) – social sharing tools’ margin fixed in the CSS for the other themes prettyPhoto social tools toggle (enable or disable them, available to change on a per grid basis) prettyPhoto deeplinking (advanced, as mentioned abovee), ability to revert to the simple mode or turn it off Ability to track photo views as events with Google Analytics in prettyPhoto

Added: ‘Disable cropping’ an option to disregard the minimum row height imposed by row height deviation (can also lock your aspect ratio if set) Added: New ‘Incomplete last row’ mode, ‘Flexible Match’, that combines the benefits of matching the last row to the previous and hiding orphan rows in case of Load More unless it’s the very last. This is good for the new Aspect Ratio setting + Load More. This is automatically activated if you left the setting on Normal. Added: XML Sitemap compatibility with the WordPress SEO plugin by Joost de Valk. It can be disabled. Images from external sources are not added. This improves SEO! Added: Better SEO: Images are now included in a noscript tag instead of just being linked to. This also means images are visible without Javascript, show up as selectable options when sharing the page with Facebook. Added: Custom CSS + a CSS class that allows you to distingush between instances of JIG by the hash of shortcode attributes – example: jig-49fc9d5ef70d49171974bb8d8aa0deff Added: A default, unlimited setting for Shortcode Editor minimum role (useful for Multisite) Added: Compatibility for very old NextGEN setups where some images have no metadata in the database Added: Take over NextGEN shortcodes: Optional ability to act in place of: nggallery, nggalbum, album, nggtags, random, recent, singlepic – they are selectable individually Added: Nextgen random images (display some random images of a gallery or regardless of gallery – the limit is applied after randomization) Added to Recent posts: you can now display pages belonging to a page and all of its descendants, narrowable by depth Added: Load More can be set to be used only on mobile devices (a new setting) Added: PHP constant JIG_SKIP_PRETTYPHOTO to define in your theme when JIG shouldn’t load its own prettyPhoto Added: Option to display NextGEN gallery/album descriptions between the breadcrumb and the grid Added: Option to prevent usually unnecessary NextGEN files from loading Improved: Load More button got enhanced looks, gradient and border radius anda bit nicer color. Dark skin added. Ability to switch between the light and the dark via two reset options. Improved: Jetpack Photon (when active) is enabled on thumbnails that were previously generated by TimThumb, this enables Retina Ready on thumbs from Facebook, Flickr, Instagram too. Improved: Thumbnail size calculations are unified for all image sources. This results in no more blurry thumbnails (that happened in some cases). Improved: All the individual (per-instance) In-page Style Tags have been merged into one, some rules that are not instance specific have changed to be added only once, they are minified using whitespace removal, and put into the footer.

Most importantly it allows you to have unlimited instances of JIG in IE (it has a CSS limit of 32 and In-page Style Tags count as one, per tag) This helps with filters that apply themselves to content (e.g. Hyphenator JS plugin) This somewhat improves speed

Improved: CURL is checked when activating the plugin, notifying user that Jetpack Photon and Download link features are affected Improved: Flickr feature: The Add users button is only active when you have an API key. Previously it was a bit confusing. Improved: Flickr feature: If some photos are not shown because they are too small, this is noted after the gallery with instructions to resolve the issue. This reduces confusion in a few cases when you see fewer photos than expected. The error message can be disabled. Upscaling is possible now. Higher than 1024px pictures are now taken into account when looking for an image to create the thumbnail from. Improved: Flickr feature: The plugin can now look for higher than 1024px images. Improved: ng_recent_images and ng_random_images have an automatic limit, 25, if it was not set or set to unlimited Improved: Facebook feature: The error “(#4) Application request limit reached” is now handled by trying to add the Page with an access token. Improved: Multiple custom post types can now be used together for Recent Posts Improved admin areas:

All texts and contextual help is rewritten to form complete sentences. Obsolete texts are removed/changed. Some settings tabs are now shown with mini sub-sections to make these settings more logical and these settings have been reordered in both the plugin’s setting and the Shortcode Editor Color lines in the settings and the Shortcode Editor for each tab, the blue tint is removed from the background color, css transitions for highlighting current row, SCE tabs are now in two rows ‘All of the images have failed to load.’ error message is more readable. Flash of unstyled content of the Shortcode Editor is solved, a loading progress bar is displayed. Developer link settings are merged with General settings and other reordering and reorganization of some settings throughout; only in SCE, TimThumb tab is merged with General Settings. Color picker helper, Like button, logo, helpful links on the top. Preset selection in the plugin’s settings now pops up a confirm dialog if you want to overwrite your styling settings.

Changed: NextGEN no tag error message changed to “No images could be found with that tag.” from “There are no NextGEN images that are tagged like that.” (user request) Point is that this way the plugin could be used to search NextGEN images (with some custom code). Bugfix: Error checking wasn’t working on IE8 in some cases, resulting false positives and not loading any image, this is now fixed. Bugfix: Error checking for Flickr images weren’t working properly, resulting in duplicate images and a broken grid if one image failed to load. Bugfix: Error checking for Jetpack Photon images weren’t working properly, this was fixed as well. Bugfix: Custom post types are now picked up properly in the Shortcode Editor (finally) Bugfix: Wrap Text feature broke the last row when it should display as a full row. Bugfix: PHP ‘Undefined index’ errors in WP Debug mode are now removed. Bugfix: PHP Fatal error when NextGEN is uninstalled and still trying to show NextGEN content, is now replaced with a friendly error message (NextGEN gallery is not installed/inactive!). Bugfix: When using WP images or Recent posts, all images are validated for display, previously it stopped on the first error Bugfix: When using Jetpack and CURL is required to get remote image dimensions, check for CURL is added to not generate an error Bugfix: Overlay icon URL is now used properly Bugfix: The class gallery-caption is no longer added to the parent container of JIG when Carousel and Load More features are used together (preventing Carousel when clicking outside a thumbnail is now solved in an other way) Bugfix: When validating authenticated Facebook user when it was just added and the changes haven’t been saved yet, the ‘Communicating with Facebook’ would be stuck. Bugfix: Facebook feature: When adding a user, sometimes ‘Access token acquisition’ error would show up even though all went fine. Bugfix: IE7 hand cursor added. Bugfix: (previously added silently) caption opacity is now respected by vertical center feature Bugfix: (previously added silently) recents_custom_links no longer appears in the shortcode when not needed Updated: Documentation Updated: MobileDetect to 2.6.1 Updated: ColorBox to v1.4.17 Updated: Localization (more than 50% changed)

v1.4.9 – May 1, 2013 – Vertical caption centering, infinite scroll, Jetpack Carousel…

Added: Jetpack Carousel compatibility (new retina ready lightbox, only for WP images), supports download link and 3 metadata locations (caption) Added: Infinite scroll when using ‘Load more’ Added: A new ‘Incomplete last row’ mode (for Load More), called ‘flexible’, that allows the last row to be orphan, once Load More reached the limit Added: Vertically centered captions Added: Align caption horizontally (separate setting from the CSS) Added: Caption title size (separate setting from the CSS) Added: Caption description size (separate setting from the CSS) Added: Flickr link back to the original picture, similar to the ‘Download’ link (in the lightboxes) Added: Load more infinite scroll device fix <meta name=”viewport” content=”width=device-width, height=device-height, initial-scale=1.0”> Added: Custom width setting to provide better compatibility with tabs, also this was a request by some users. This enables you to e.g. center one image with JIG, in a post. Added: ‘Responsive fallback, automatic’ width mode setting that has a logic of working way better with tabs and other places where the ‘element is too thin’ error appeared – they can use the width of the closest related, working grid (usually in the first tab) Added: Attachments’ tags and categories filter, also compatible with Media Library Assistant’s pre-defined Att. Categories and Att. Tags. , and the Media Categories plugin. In addition there is a (built-in, toggleable, simple) solution to enable regular WP tags and categories taxonomy for images in the library. All in all this means you can tag WP images, just like NextGEN, and display a gallery based on the tag. Added: Shortcode editor button minimum user role setting, ability to hide the shortcode editor button for users below a certain WP role Added: 3 new presets 16: Facebok inspired, 17: Vertical center, 18: Vertical creative Added: Jquery source option: added 5th setting to only change jQuery settings on pages where JIG is used (old themes support) Added: Recent posts can be filtered by tags not just categories, the two can be combined Added: Wrap around text option, to let text flow to the right side of JIG Improved: Multiple ids are available to use to get nextgen galleries like [justified_image_grid ng_gallery=6,2] Improved: Recent post images can link to the custom url of the image! (toggleable new setting) Improved: Better, faster error checking Bugfix: The Social Gallery’s latest version is recognized in the shortcode editor properly Bugfix: Preset 9, ‘Focus on the text’: padding is fixed (replaced with line-height: normal) Bugfix: NextGEN breadcrumb included the overview album in the breadcrumb when permalinks were not used Bugfix: NextGEN breadcrumb’s home element will now take you back to the original post or page when WP permalinks are disabled, instead of taking you to the home page Changed: Foobox links changed to point to the preview site Updated: MobileDetect to 2.6.0. Updated: TimThumb to 2.8.11 Updated: ColorBox to v1.4.15

v1.4.8 – April 4, 2013 – New shortcode options, more bugfixes, some improvements

Added: ColorBox design selection – choose one of the 5 ColorBox designs, previously only the default one was bundled Added: Take over gallery shortcode – choose between hiding the original WordPress gallery shortcode, replacing it automatically or leaving it alone Added: Shortcode alias – if you prefer to use a shorter/different shortcode name in addition to justified_image_grid e.g. just jig or something else Improved: Recent posts feature now takes into account the orderby setting to not force actual ‘recents’ but allow more freedom Improved: Better detection of Photon (if Jetpack is on, but Photon is not, it’s not forced) Improved: Easing changed back to swing from linear Improved: When flickr photos can’t be loaded the error from flickr is displayed for more information Improved: CURL timeout is increased to 10 from 2 to allow longer load times when displaying e.g. large Flickr photosets Improved: Custom link target VIDEO is now called “Lightbox: video / iframe / another image” Improved: Default prettyPhoto size (for videos and iframes) is increased from 500×344 to 960×540 as customers were often asking about this Bugfix: FooBox bugs – Load more, Captions are fixed with FooBox v.1.4.0.5 Bugfix: SocialGallery bugs – update to at least Social Gallery version 2.2 Bugfix: Animation performance improved when using special effects Bugfix: Error checking was buggy in v1.4.7 which caused duplicate images (due to the new for loops that fixed 3rd party plugins compatibility in v1.4.6) Bugfix: “Warning: Division by zero on line 3225” Bugfix: “Fatal error: Cannot access empty property” is resolved (when using ng_pics or ng_recent_images) Bugfix: Facebook feature: now it’s possible to connect to age restricted pages again, there was a graph error Bugfix: When not using limit (empty), Flickr feature would not work in some cases Bugfix: Shortcode editor didn’t like multi-word NextGEN tags, now it puts them in quotes properly Updated: ColorBox to v1.4.10, release date April 4, 2013 Updated: MobileDetect to v2.5.9 Updated: Documentation, also more info about custom links

v1.4.7 – March 21, 2013 – Important bugfixes

Bugfix: Sometimes the grid would fall apart or not justify in a pixel perfect way. All loops changed in the JS source to not be vulnerable to 3rd party scripts adding their own prototypes to Array. Example: Avada theme – LayerSlider Bugfix: Pre-PHP 5.3.0 error Wrong parameter count for strstr() is resolved Bugfix: The image for Facebook crawler (the first image, resized to 300×300) had no width and height attributes when Jetpack Photon was enabled Bugfix: The new version (2.1) of SocialGallery is detected properly Bugfix: When Jetpack Photon was on, it didn’t respect lightbox_max_size setting, this is now changed Bugfix: Jetpack Photon thumbnail size calculation is now more precise with NextGEN images Bugfix: PHP error ‘Wrong datatype for second argument’ was fixed between 1.4.6 and 1.4.7

v1.4.6 – March 18, 2013 – Jetpack Photon compatibility, NG+WPML, CDN support, better SEO, bugfixes

Added: Uses Jetpack Photon, a CDN-like free service by WordPress.com, this means:

Makes the thumbnails Retina / High resolution display ready (by devicepx.js, only with Photon) Improves load performance It replaces TimThumb (no more permission issues) For images on the WP installation (post galleries and recent posts) Also when using NextGEN as an image source even though the original NextGEN doesn’t support Jetpack Photon It requires Jetpack plugin installed and the site being connected to WordPress.com It’s not available for Facebook/Flickr images Special effects are unavailable as images will be served from another domain (cross-domain security)

Added: CDN compatibility – similar to W3TC, rewrite site’s hostname with CDN hostname (a new setting) Added: WPML translation compatibility with NextGEN. String translation is supported for pictures, galleries and albums (even though original NextGEN doesn’t offer it for albums) Added: Date and time, Date, Nice date (“x minutes ago”) and Author name (with a prefix) is available to select as recent posts description, below post titles Added: An image is added to the source, resized at 300×300, to show up as selectable thumbnail (only thumbnail in some cases), when liking/sharing Added: Improved SEO Added: Follow mode setting for custom links (nofollow/dofollow) Added: If all images have failed to load (likely because of TimThumb permissions), an error is displayed about what to do (It’s a red text like the old jQuery version error) Added: A setting for jQuery mobile to add link rel external when on mobile device and link rel is auto – this helps images open properly Improved: Ability to turn off caption_title caption_description link_rel and img_alt fields. Previously you were required to select an unused field. This is better now. Improved: Custom post types are now sensed better in the Shortcode Editor Improved: The setting overlay_gallery_max changed from 30 to 300 in prettyPhoto to make sure the overlay gallery shows up when required Improved: In JS, the altFragment, titleFragment, target and all other variables are now private (some were global) Changed: Animation easing changed to linear, this should improve look and feel / performance Changed: Using the “NextGEN galleries open in lightbox” feature the hash is written as #prettyPhoto[galleryid] instead of #ngg[galleryid] because prettyPhoto only reopens itself this way Bugfix: NextGEN breadcrumb was missing gallery name in v1.4.5

Bugfix: Rare, 1px ‘jumping’ of images during fade in animation when loading is now fixed Bugfix: 1px empty space on the right of the grid is now removed Bugfix: A chrome bug when using special effects and a horizontally centered gallery would clip 1px randomly from top and left. Added CSS -webkit-transform: translateZ(0); they’ll add the fix in the latest stable. Bugfix: Flickr limit when set to 0, will become ‘unlimited’ 500 (flickr limit), instead of becoming 1 (by Flickr) Bugfix: The flickr_caching shortcode attribute wasn’t loading values in the shortcode editor when editing a shortcode Bugfix: Media attacher utility is fixed (popup did not appear properly) Bugfix: Nextgen overview album (using ‘all’ as ID) now works properly Bugfix: Shortcode editor now handles quotes ” and ’ better, also improved template tag generator in this regard, as some values weren’t properly supplied with quote marks, i.e. it didn’t work well enough. Bugfix: Rare, “incomplete last row: match” bug a.rowsc is undefined seems to be solved even though I couldn’t recreate the problem Updated: Mobile detection script to 2.5.7 Updated: Documentation, Localization, Contextual help
