Based on some request I added two new flash scripts to NextGEN Gallery. The fantastic Tiltviewer & Simpleviewer from Airtight Interactive can now easily added to your post or page.
See some example here : http://nextgen.boelinger.com/simpleviewer/
If you like it, then download this addon here :
Download NextGEN SimpleViewer
WordPress plugin
(This plugin isn’t finished at all, I maybe add more comfortable options later)
UPDATE : I’m currently not able to work at this addon, if some is interested to update or maintain it, give me a note or pick up the script and write your own plugin. I will help with any questions…

Hi Alex
Very nice to watch your Tiltviewer and simpleviewer demos. So … I was really impatient to install NextGen Simpleviewer pluggins !!! ;o))
Unfortunately it does not work !!! :o((
However I installed and activated Nextgen gallery then NextGEN SimpleViewer …
In the installation notice, you wrote to download Tiltviewer and simpleviewer. But where do I have to upload these packages ? Within NextGen Simpleviewer directory ?
Where do I have to put the swf files ??
Thanks for your nice help
Gilbert
OK !!! Found the problem !!!! Don’t write spaces for sizes !!!! ;-))
I wrongly wrote
“[tiltviewer=3, 640, 480,*Cu Lao Ong Ho, l’ile au Tigre*]”
rather than
[tiltviewer=3,640,480,*Cu Lao Ong Ho, l’ile au Tigre*]
Tiltviewer is simply wonderful !!!
Oh,yes.. I should optimize readme & the code
Gracias, este plugin es lo maximo! 🙂
Very cool! Looks nice!
Have a look at http://www.zoomer.de –> “Ansichtssache”.
What do you say to it? Perhaps is applicable as new function?
😦 how i can put this simpleviewer to work on full screen like demo? Last 2 hours i spend to figure that out, and i cant. Mabey you can help me?
It simply looks amazing on your blogs !
Tommy –> I don’t speak a word of German but I love the way you integrated your videoplayer and of course the picture gallery is great.
Which player did you use for the video ?
BY THE WAY : does it work with Autoviewer the same way ? I bet so right ?
It works!!!
Very Cool!
Is there a way to use the album ID ?
Thank You!

Hi Cecile
http://www.zoomer.de is not my own website.
It should be an example for Alex. Perhaps he still integrates the picture gallery in NextGen.
Hi Alex
Thanks again for your very nice work !!! Tiltviewer is simply cooool ! I like it !!!
But as AMIS, even if I directly changed values in my MySql database, I am not able to display full mode. Apparently, even if I change maxImageHeight, the window seems to be blocked around 400 (not sure of the value !!!)
Values changed :
1. table _options – option name “ngg_sv_options” – value “maxImageWidth” set to 1024 and “maxImageHeight” set to 768
2. table _options – option name “maxJPGSize” set to 1024
Apparently, maxImageWidth/maxImageHeight corresponds to the window size and maxJPGSize to maximum size of a single picture. Am I right ?
Is there a limitation in the flash ?
Help would be fully appreciated ! :o))
PS : if U need help for a french documentation translation, I could help …
@Gilbert
You can change the settings in the nggsimpleviewer.php file (when you activate this plugin they will be saved to the database).
The fullscreen page requires a additionla HTML page, currently I have no time to work at this addon. Enjoy it as it is…
Hello !
I have made everithing according to the instructions in readme file, everithing is ok, but SimpleViewer do not work on my site. Tag [gallery=4] – is work properly in the posts, but tag [tiltviewer=4, 1000, 716, *text or link*] displayed as a text inside the post. I dont know what to do…
Do not use any spaces…
Nice plugin, got it up and running on my site now 🙂
One thing: You mixed up rows and columns in your descriptions in your nggsimpleviewer.php
Hello Alex,
Did I understand it in the right way that the thickbox window had a max. height of approx. 350 pixel (see gilberts comment above)? I change the nggsimpleviewer.php up to the max. width (1024) of my pictures but nothing happened.
Did I do anything wrong?
You would like to have a tiltviewer full window ???
Ok !!!! Follow me —>
1st STEP : setup the plugin
1. Deactivate nggsimpleviewer pluggin
2. in nggsimpleviewer.php – simpleviewer section, set ‘enableRightClickOpen’ to true
3. in nggsimpleviewer.php – tiltviewer section, do not forget to
localize ‘langGoFull’, ‘langExitFull’ and ‘langAbout’. It will appear in the right-click box !!!
4. Activate nggsimpleviewer pluggin
2nd STEP : use the tiltviewer in ur post/page
ONLY USE INLINE METHOD ‘[tiltviewer=gallery number,window width,window heigth]’
In ur post, write a code as
==========================
‘Clic droit puis “Affichage Plein Ecran” pour un écran GEANT !!!
“Echap” pour revenir à l’affichage normal …
[tiltviewer=3,510,600]’
==========================
DO NOT USE THICKBOX METHOD as
‘[tiltviewer=gallery number,window width,window heigth,*TEXT*]’
or
‘[tiltviewer=gallery number,window width,window heigth,**]’
otherwise your pictures will be displayed in a fixed height window …
3rd STEP : USER PROCEDURE
the user just have to right-click the tiltviewer then choose “full display” and magic window appears
just press “Esc” for going back to normal view !!!
That’s all folks !!!
PS : did not found how to directly go in full mode without right-click OR without tiltviewer pro version so … if someone does …
Hi Alex, this is a magnificent plugin.
I have another (for you, simple, i guess) question:
I’m working on a template page, where the nextgen-gallery is passed via a custom field (key: Gallery, value: Name)
so that i can query that in the template page and output this as I wish..
$galleryCV = get_post_custom_values(“Gallery”);
$galleryID = $wpdb->get_var(“SELECT gid FROM $wpdb->nggallery WHERE name = ‘$galleryCV[0]’ “);
$gallerytitle = $wpdb->get_var(“SELECT title FROM $wpdb->nggallery WHERE name = ‘$galleryCV[0]’ “);
now my question is, what piece of code can I use to display the simpleviewer-swf, just passing it the gallery-ID. I know php well enough to put this decent in my template page, but not well enough to derive it from your plugin-code.
if there’s anybody else who knows how to do this.. you might answer this one as well.
I found it !
for those interested…
I put the code for the template-page (note: customized for my project) in a textfile:
http://www.imagomedia.be/temp/NG_SV_template/projectpage2.txt
you can easily extract the bits you need.
the lines in the header-include, the php-bit in the projectpage-div, and of course the code-snippet inside the projectimg-div.
the css-styles are on the bottom of the file
When I try to install it I get this error…
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare nggallery_init() (previously declared in /home/www/gospel903/wp-content/plugins/nggallery/nggallery.php:92) in /home/www/gospel903/wp-content/plugins/nggallery/nggallery.php on line 90
What can I do to fix it?
You should add option about adding swfobject (or check if it is already loaded).
Some other suggestion when i use single image in same size as thumbnails use thumbs instead of generating every image.
The tiltviewer seems to come up fine, it shows the animation of the tiles moving into place, and then they disapear quickly. My pictures are never shown. Has anyone run into this problem?
I am using the latest versions of everything, and have tried several different galleries of 4 to 10 picures, nothing ever shows up.

Bei mir wird nur der Text ausgegeben… liegt es dran, dass es mit WordPress 2.5 nicht harmoniert? Leerstellen habe ich nicht mehr drin.

Hi there, v interested in developing this to work with latest nextgen gallery plugin and simpleviewer pro as it doesn’t use flash so views on iphone/ipad etc
any good starting point advice?
Cheers
Dominic
Hi there! Thank you so much for developing this =] Unfortunately I cannot get it to work. As soon as I activate this plugin in WordPress I get the red error banner at the top that says it only works in combination with NextGen. But I already have that activated. It also makes my site disappear. As soon as I deactivate it, the site returns to normal but I can’t use the simpleviewer =/ Any help would be much appreciated
