Hi guys, thank you very much for your great plugin.
The new editor toolbar is really perfect for my usage, simple and agreable.
I have only one problem : like reported before, the shortcut button for wp plugin “NextGen Gallery” that was added to the default wp editor doesnt show up, even with the full toolbar.
I know your plugin offers a images manager too but the functions of ngg seem more fitted to what i need.
As i would be unable to write myself a fck plugin or something, im asking you guys, how could i do to get that button back ?
Thanks a lot for your help !!

Hi Eric,
Thanks for writing.
NextGen Gallery is one of the worst WordPress plugins around. We were called in to rescue a WordPress site falling apart under NGG. Our resuscitation attempt was successful but gave us a lifelong distaste for this convoluted and processor hungry code.
You can emulate most of the functionality with our SEO Images/Foliopress WYSIWYG just by putting the thumbnails in a single post (works conveniently up to about 20). You’ll get a lightbox slideshow. This gallery type post was created with Foliopress WYSIWYG: http://uncoy.com/2009/05/choreolab-09.html
We have no plans to support NextGen Gallery. If I were you, I’d avoid NGG altogether. Your site will run faster, smoother with less compatibility issues. It will also be far more future proof.
I really like what you guys are doing here. When I get some time I plan to test it out.
I noticed you are not fans of NGG and I agree it does run fairly slow. (Before I put my foot in my mouth, I know I should test out your plugin first)How would you suggest that I get the same or similar functionality when I have a gallery that is usually in the 150 picture range?
Thanks for the suggestions.
Hi Joseph,
The way I solve this issue (huge image uploads), is to put selects (up to 20) inside WordPress with Foliopress WYSIWYG/SEO Images and then link out to a Smugmug gallery for 100 images (in the case I need it).
Smugmug is set up for all the heavy lifting including selling images and it keeps WordPress lean.
It’s very rare that one would have more than 10 must see photos of any given event.
Just be more selective. Your readers will thank you.
PS. If you decide to sign up for Smugmug you can save $5 with this code: mIQp9QbUmqWu6
