Can anyone give me an example of the container code used to install the Featured Content Gallery?
Thank you,
Michael

Actually maybe it like adding flash:
Turn the header image off at Atahualpa Theme Options -> Header -> Configure Header area and edit header.php
which might translate to:
<!-- Header -->
<td id="header" colspan="<?php echo $cols; ?>">
<?php bfa_header_config($bfa_ata['configure_header']); ?>
<div><?php include (ABSPATH . '/wp-content/plugins/featured-content-gallery/gallery.php'); ?></div>
</td>
<!-- / Header -->
gonna test it out...

ahh well can't get it to work.
the box area comes up but it's a no show for content.
Seems to be quite a few plugin conflicts too - eg with lightbox
dang.

Featured Content Gallery and WP e-Commerce do not work together either.

Anyone know of an alternative?

You might try D13 Slideshow. I couldn't get it to work for me, even with WP e-Commerce deactivated. This guy has it working though .

In header.php, replace
PHP Code:
<?php wp_enqueue_script( 'jquery' ); ?>
with
PHP Code:
<script type='text/javascript' src='<?php echo get_option('siteurl'); ?>/wp-includes/js/jquery/jquery.js?ver=1.2.6'></script>
and move
PHP Code:
<?php wp_head(); ?>
below
PHP Code:
$bfa("a.xhtmltags").click(function(){ $bfa("div.xhtml-tags").slideToggle(300); }); }); //--> </script>
and below any other jQuery code you may have added in header.php.
It's well known that jQuery and mootools (which Featured Gallery Script uses) don't play well with each other, but I was including jQuery in a specific way for that very reason to allow Mootools to work, too. Appears that jQuery needs to do its stuff first regardless.
I'll be adding jQuery in this rather manual way again as shown above. If Wordpress adds a new jQuery version then this wouldn't work anymore. Alternatively jQuery could be added fully manually, through the jQuery file included in Atahualpa, but that would mean that it gets loaded twice if a plugin loads it as well. That wouldn't cause an error, but unnecessarily add 50KB to the first page load of every visitor.

Reason: Added: Move <?php wp_head(); ?> below jQuery code

Hey Flynn,
I downloaded a custom widget program and put the content gallery into the widget. Do you know how I would change the code so that Featured Content Gallery works it in the sidebar? I tried the method you wrote, but I guess it's only for the header. Other than that I'm loving the theme. Thanks!

Post #8 is required to make it work as such
You should be able to put the actual Gallery code into a sidebar too, i.e. with the http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/php-code-widget/ by putting this into the widget
<?php include (ABSPATH . '/wp-content/plugins/featured-content-gallery/gallery.php'); ?>

Hi Flynn,
I tried that, but I got this as an error when I loaded the page:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function php echo get_option() in /home/maximum5/public_html/wp-content/themes/atahualpa332/header.php on line 25

What WP version do you have? Replace the word get_option in the code above with the older function get_settings

Hey Flynn,
I have 2.7.1. I changed get_option('siteurl') to get_option('home'), and I don't get the fatal error anymore, but the widget still doesn't work. It appears, but stays on the loading screen. Any ideas?
Thanks for helping me out by the way.

So the featured content gallery works if I put it in the header.php file. If there isn't a way to get it to work in the widget, is there a way to get it to only appear on my main page (and not on the individual post pages)?
Thanks!

To put it in a widget use the PHP code widget. To display only on the homepage use
<?php if ( is_front_page() ) {
include (ABSPATH . '/wp-content/plugins/featured-content-gallery/gallery.php');
} ?>

Alright, this is driving me crazy.
I guess it's just not working for me. First I got that get_option wasn't defined. Then I finally got it to work (kind of) and it said that wp_head() wasn't defined. Then I started over with the original header folder and none of it worked.
I appreciate all your help, but I just don't know what could be wrong. It looks like you got it to work fine on yours. Are those the only changes you made to it?
Thanks

I just downloaded the updated theme and it works perfectly on the front page!
So is there a way now, to put the featured content gallery on the sidebar? I try it with the php code widget, but I get a gallery that's stuck in loading mode. Help!
Thanks!

Can you help me understand how to place the Featured Content Gallery on my "Greetings" page (static homepage)? I am looking for detailed directions, because much of this above I don't understand. In what file specifically and where in that specifically would I place the...
<?php include (ABSPATH . '/wp-content/plugins/featured-content-gallery/gallery.php'); ?>
Thank you.

Put the code from post #15 into index.php, right after get_header(); ?> in line 3

It should appear right before the first post.

I viewed your website on Firefox 3.0 and it works perfectly.

^Hmmmm . . . . I could never see it. I just gave up and used another plugin called CBFeatured and it works amazingly.

Hi all,
I just moved from 3.4 to 3.4.2 and the Featured Content Gallery has gone from working well to just a white box with a black border.
Any suggestions?
Cheers guys.

Have you changed the web host too? I just tried and couldn't get it running on a server with Nginx but it worked on Apache. Still investigating...
What are your Javascript internal/external settings?
