I’m testing a combination of utilizing my Highslide/NextGen Gallery installation while also having the “Highslide for WordPress Reloaded” plugin installed. Hopefully this will take care of normal single picture installation….
Here’s the picture, inserted as a thumbnail.

I used Handbrake to encode a bunch of dvd’s using High Priority mode. By default, this includes the AC3 audio track as a pass through track. Unfortunately, most of my portable players don’t like that. Since I had the DVD Iso files, I just re-HandBraked most of the movies using Normal mode or a Modified Priority where I told it not to keep the AC3 track.
But I had already tossed some of the ISOs so now I was stuck converting the m4v files. Handbrake did a fine job on about half of these, but the other half developed severe jitters at the end of the movies. Enter the internet and some time consuming searching on how to remove the unwanted AC3 track.
The final solution was to use the command line program, Mp4Box. I used the Yamb frontend to get the track info and determine which track I wanted to remove – Number 3 in my case. (I’m sure this could have been done with mp4box, but I don’t know what the command switches are off hand.)
Then I opened a cmd window and ran the following command:
mp4box -rem 3 “Days Of Thunder.m4v”
and a few minutes later, I had a smaller file without the AC3 track.
I found the software at http://www.videohelp.com/
I work a lot with maps during my day job and wanted to import some GIS shapefiles (.shp) into Google Earth. After looking through a lot of websites, I came across a program called MapWindow GIS. This is an open source project and it was able to load up my .shp files with no problem. I installed the Shape2Earth plugin and used it to make a kml file for loading into Google Earth. It worked like a champ. The unregistered version of Shape2Earth is limited 500 data points, but that worked for me.
The following picture shows Powerlines (red lines) that I downloaded from the Volusia County GIS website in Google Earth.
Some other programs I tried included:
GPS Track Maker – I kept ending up with my powerlines in Africa, but I’m guessing that’s cause I don’t know what I’m doing. It had a lot of options.
GPSBabel – I couldn’t figure out if it had shp file support or not, but I use it to change Delorme Street Atlas (.an1) files to and from KML files.
And I found a lot of good information at the Free Geography Tools website (http://freegeographytools.com/)
I hope this helps you!

How do I get this setup?
Use the “gallery config object” per slideshow name? How does that work?
Here is discussion about having multiple galleries broken out with some not having control bars.
Here is another post about using two galleries. The key is using the slideshowGroup: ‘group1′, method, but can I add the upper portion of the config to that area?
I think a lot of the answers can be found here. But this appears to be using the same configuration, looks and what not per slideshow.
This is similar to above, but still using the same configurations.
I changed my WordPress theme and now my Highslide slideshow no longer dims the page when it opens. That needs to be fixed pronto. I’ll let you know what I find out.
UPDATE: Not sure what the problem was, but I uninstalled the theme and reinstalled it and everything is working again.
My WordPress.com Stats were not working on my family blog. The plugin said that everything was configured correctly, I just wasn’t showing any hits. -ARGH-
I found the answer at http://www.victoria-mui.com/.
I needed to insert:
<?php wp_footer(); ?>
in the footer.php of my theme before the:
</body>
</html>lines. That fixed it! Thanks Victoria!
This is an updated and replacement tutorial for getting the awesome Highslide slideshow script working with NextGen gallery in a WordPress blog. The previous tutorial is still valid, but with the new features available in Highslide, this tutorial is preferred. There are also lots of great troubleshooting tips in the comments section of the previous tutorial. Now on to the new tutorial:
Torstein Honsi, maker of Highslide, has added a cool new Highslide Editor tool to the Highslide website. It allows you to customize your slideshow and makes setting up your Highslide configuration files much easier with a lot less manual coding and tweaking.
This tutorial has been updated. It should still work just fine, but the new tutorial uses the Highslide Editor from the maker of Highslide and allows you to customize your slideshow look and feel. Keep in mind, the comments on this post are full of great troubleshooting tips. Check out the new tutorial!
Do you like the WordPress plugin NextGen Gallery? But wish you could get the Highslide Thumbnail Viewer to work with it? Here’s how I accomplished it.
I’m using WordPress 2.6.1, NextGen Gallery 0.99.1, and Highslide 4.07. I upgraded to WordPress 2.7 2.84, NextGen Gallery 1.0.2 1.3.6, and Highslide 4.10 4.12 and experienced no problems.
