Hey all, I just started using GetSimple and I'm totally loving it.
I am trying to use this plugin now, and it seems to work great, only still the fancybox part is not working. Chris, do you think you will update the plugin to match the latest stable release 3.1?
Help! I installed the gallery plugin, and it works great, but when I tried to install the fancybox plugin I can't get that one to show up on my plugin management screen -- there's no php, just a folder with a js -- and I can't get the fancybox part of the gallery to work. When I click on a thumbnail it just opens in the same window, no navigation.

Don't need to install the fancybox plugin. It appears to exist already in the GetSimpleCMS files (or it does for me...).
I found the files in: admin/template/js/fancybox
I checked the file for this plugin and there are a couple of typos that prevent it from using the fancybox.
And while I'm messing with someone elses file (it's ok right? ), here is a slightly altered version of the US language file. It just makes the settings instructions a little more verbose.
Hi!
Is it possible in your opinion to get a thumbnail for "empty folders" (I mean folders that contain only folders and no images) from the first picture inside the first folder inside them? Or to directly put a thumbnail inside them without it to be displayed once browsing inside the folder?
Thank you very much. This plugin is easy to use and very good to the sight!
sorry for bothering. I'm using your gallery for get-simple [3.1.2]. Situation looks just like that:
on my localhost everything works perfectly - GS + gallery. after moving it into server..almost :O almost because thumbs are not showing. Link seems to work, but there are no thumbs.. any ideas why? thank you for help!
jquery.fancybox-1.3.4.pack.js is now jquery.fancybox.pack.js
also there is another downside of that - this plugin tells what is admin panel path, and that is unacceptible for be, because i changed it for security reasons.
Firstly thanks for this plugin, works great, however like anything there is room for improvement and hopefully my feedback here will help with that, not in any particular order;
1. It would be far more user friendly if the Plugin had its own menu item in the Admin, similar to how the I18N gallery does.
2. The admin page should allow you to create new albums, add or remove photos in each album and set all settings per album all within that Gallery menu item in the Admin interface, therefore not needing to go to the Files menu item to add and remove photos.
3. Native support for slimbox or fancybox built into the plug-in which is optional to use
4. The admin page for the gallery should show thumbnails of the photos in each album, or at least have a hover over the name to view the photo.
5. SEO friendly urls for viewing albums and photos is really ESSENTIAL and need to be included as part of the plugin.
I am sure there are others but these are the main five items I can come up with.
I have read little new development is being done on this plugin, I hope this is not the case, can the author please reply.
Damn, I just read through the thread in full and it appears that this plugin is abandoned, or at least not actively being worked on. Is anyone out there able to take this project on, maybe a fork? It is a good start to a very good and 'simple' plug-in. While other gallery plug-ins exist like the I18n gallery, that is just too cumbersome, complicated and difficult to install and get working to match your site and site template. The great thing about this plug-in is that it is simple.
Please someone take this on as a continued project, I would be happy to help where I can but I am not a php or js coder. I know enough to get me going and I am happy to edit and update php, but really do not have enough knowledge myself to take this on as a lead developer for the plugin.
How I got the fancybox to work and not use the admin folder for the js.
1. create a new js folder in your web sites main folder (the same one the admin, theme, plugins etc folders are in).
2. from the admin/template/js folder copy jquery.getsimple.js, jquery.min.js and jquery-ui.min.js to your new js folder
3. copy the fancybox folder with all folders and files in it from the admin/template/js folder to your new js folder
4. open thephotogallery.php file (assuming you have already installed The Photo Gallery plugin)
Upload the new js folder and all files within it to your web server and also the modified thephotogallery.php file and you should now see the fancybox working in your photo albums.
