Issue with Showtime Image Gallery in UT Goodnews Template

Hello Firecoder Team,

I am experiencing an issue when using the Showtime Image Gallery component with the UT Goodnews template. The component and plugin work perfectly with the Joomlart template on my site. Even when I select the UT Goodnews template, the gallery is displayed correctly.

However, when I choose "uBlog" as the menu item, the gallery does not load, and instead, only the shortcode is displayed, e.g., {showtime 1}.

Additionally, when testing the component on a local quickstart installation of the UT Goodnews template, I encountered the following error:

I have recorded the error and am sending you the error screenshot/log file for reference.

Could you please check if this is a compatibility issue with the UT Goodnews template, or if there is a way to resolve this conflict?

Thank you for your time and assistance!

Best regards,
Petar

Hello Firecoder Team,

Following up on my previous message, I reached out to the UT Goodnews template developer, and they tested the Showtime Image Gallery extension locally. Here is their feedback:

1. They were able to install the extension, create a gallery, upload photos, and insert the gallery into a blog post using CMS Content >> Showtime Image Gallery. It displayed correctly both in the Joomla editor and on the public site.
2. However, they reported that the Showtime package causes severe issues across the entire website, including the Joomla administrator panel. The site becomes nearly unusable, with various errors appearing even when not actively using the extension.
3. They believe that these issues stem from the extension not being updated to support the latest PHP versions, which could be affecting its functionality in certain Joomla setups.

Could you please verify whether the extension is fully compatible with the latest Joomla and PHP versions? Let me know if you need any additional details to help troubleshoot this issue.

Thanks again for your time and support!

Best regards, Petar

I can send you Quickstart of template based on helix ulitimate 2 on private message

Hello,

First of all, thank you for your time and detailed response. I really appreciate your support and insights into the issue.

After reviewing the ublog.php file, and with your guidance, I was able to make the Showtime galleries display correctly within Joomla articles. It seems that the template was not properly processing Joomla content plugins, but I managed to adjust it accordingly.

Regarding the Quickstart package, I am happy to send it to you if needed. However, I would prefer to share it via private message rather than in this public ticket. If possible, could you switch this ticket from public to private? Let me know how you would like me to proceed.

Thank you again for your help and for the upcoming fix related to WebP warnings. Looking forward to your response.

Best regards,
Petar

Hello Lefteris,

Thank you for following up. I don’t have any feature suggestions at the moment—your component already does everything I need perfectly.

I’ve been using Showtime Image Gallery for years, and I currently have thousands of albums and over 10,000 photos stored in it. Everything runs smoothly without any issues, and I truly appreciate the quality and stability of your work.

Thanks again for your support, and keep up the great work!

Best regards,
Petar
