eStore/ NextGen Gallery Help

[ardentartistbooks]

Hi, Having such a problem with my integration process. I followed all the step-by-step instructions, but I still get the following error:

[http://ardentartistbooks.com/test-2/]

This page has been published, however, not a page on my website. The Paypal button does not show on my test page; can you tell me what I’m doing wrong?

Thanks,

Hi, have you followed the integration option 1?

WP eStore and NextGen Gallery Integration to Create Digital Photo Store (Method 1)

If so have you specified a shortcode for each of your gallery images? I can only see one shortcode – [wp_eStore:product_id:3:ID:end] which is not correct. Please replace it with the following:

[wp_eStore_add_to_cart id=3]

Hi:

Thanks for the reply…

I replaced my short-code with yours and it is now working; however, I am now getting the following error:

“Default Gallery Type Template

This is the default gallery type template, located in:

/var/sites/a/ardentartistbooks.com/public_html/wp-content/plugins/nextgen-gallery/products/photocrati_nextgen/modules/nextgen_gallery_display/templates/index.php

If you’re seeing this, it’s because the gallery type you selected has not provided a template of it’s own.”

Can you tell me why, or what is my next step? I’m unable to advance to the next set of images without getting the error stated above.

Lastly, I need to create a “custom field” where my customers can insert TEXT at checkout. Can you forward me the instructions or direct me to where I can create this? I DO NOT want to use the custom field option in setting up my product. Or can I? Where does my customer fill this field in when using images via NextGen?

Hi, I just checked your gallery. Everything seems to be working fine.

Hi:

I would like to implement the “Buy Now” button using the following shortcode:

[nggallery id=2 template=wp-eStore-auto]

However, my BUY NOW buttons are picking up a price that is NOT in my eStore settings. Where would this price be? Lastly, I also want to pick up the entire description (as it does with an Add-To-Cart) but it does not.

Thanks.

Hi, I believe you are trying to set up your gallery using NextGen gallery integration method 2: http://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/ecommerce/nextgen-gallery-alternate-integration-method-805

For this method you need to specify one of your eStore products as a template. So the price will be taken from the “Product Price” field of that template product.

I posted this on the NextGen site but I haven’t received a response yet (2 weeks). I’m wondering if I’m able to keep my theme’s CSS in regards to thumbnail view rather than the NGG ‘white border’ thumbnail that the gallery generates. Do you know where I can change this?

Thanks,

Trish

Hi Trish, The developer of nextgen gallery is the best person to answer questions related to that plugin. I will give it a try to answer your question. I am pretty sure the NextGen gallery will show the gallery thumbnails in a particular way (no matter what theme you are using).

What you can do is use a plugin like the following to apply some custom CSS to override the css for the thumbnails to suit your needs:

Didn’t work.

Would I be able to insert code into the CSS of your NGG add-on? I was thinking, since the template is your “WP-estore” template that NGG is pulling from…could I change the settings there?

Just curious…

Hi Trish, you are more than welcome to take a look inside the eStore NGG addon but we don’t include any CSS there. The css still comes from the main NextGen gallery plugin.

OK, thanks for the help!
