NextCellent Gallery – NextGEN Legacy - Version 1.9.15

Version Description

  • 03.10.2013 =

What's in it for you?

  • Code simplification: code supporting PHP4 has no use. Deprecated.
  • Plugin should work with PHP strict standard enabled.
  • Improper call to static functions corrected all over the code
  • Disabled donator metabox since link is dead

VERY IMPORTANT: Read ON!

  • NextCellent Gallery is based from the last stable NextGEN 1.9.13 version prior 2.x.x . If you are a new user, it is suggested to install latest NextGEN version instead this plugin. Its development is going in the right way if you are starting a new site. Even though, NextCellent development path will also work fine for you. Your choice.

  • Second, this plugin WON'T WORK with NextGEN side by side. It will gracefully deactivate if detects NextGEN is working to avoid compatibility issues.

  • Third, READ THE FAQ!!! Issues for failing to read the FAQ will be IGNORED!!!

  • If you like it, please spread the word and rate it accordingly. I guess a lot of annoyed users can take advantage of NextCellent. Thank you!

NextCellent Gallery provides backward compatibility for older NextGEN until version 1.9.13 .

  -----------------------
24
 
25
+ - NextCellent Gallery is based from the last stable NextGEN 1.9.13 version prior 2.x.x . If you are a new user, it is suggested to install latest NextGEN version instead this plugin. Its development is going in the right way if you are starting a new site. Even though, NextCellent development path will also work fine for you. Your choice.
26
 
27
  - Second, **this plugin WON'T WORK with NextGEN side by side**. <u>It will gracefully deactivate if detects NextGEN is working to avoid compatibility issues</u>.
28
+
29
  - Third, READ THE FAQ!!! Issues for failing to read the FAQ will be IGNORED!!!
30
 
31
+ - If you like it, please spread the word and rate it accordingly. I guess a lot of annoyed users can take advantage of NextCellent. Thank you!
32

33
  **NextCellent Gallery provides backward compatibility for older NextGEN until version 1.9.13** .
34
 
35
  = So, who is going to use this plugin? =
36
 
37
+ - The aim of NextCellent is to provide an alternative for traditional NextGEN users to keep their sites updated without breaking compatibility. Older subplugins will be also compatible (those which were compatible with version 1.9.13 or earlier).
38
 
39
+ - Users who wants to stay working with older NextGEN version (1.9.13) until they're confident enough to make the jump to newest 2.x.x version
40
 
41
+ - Users wishing avoid NextGEN 2.x.x and beyond for the moment. Even though, **I strongly suggest to analyze your schedule and formulate a migration**. That is should be the way to go in the future.
42
 
43
+ - Site managers handling several sites using specialized software as InfiniteWP or ManageWP, wanting to keep their sites running with automatic updates.
44
 
45
+ - Users prefering an alternative development path with backward compatibility.
46
+
47
+ - Any final user preferring older NextGEN version.
