I was able to get the DesignIt Video Embed package to work and liked it, so I decided to try DesignIt Gallery. I think I've done everything in the instructions correctly, but nothing is displaying on the page.
Here's what I've done:
1. Set up a document type called Image Gallery. One of its properties is Image Gallery (alias imageGallery) set to use the Media Picker data type.
2. Set up a Folder in my Media area called Image Gallery and populated it with the various images.
3. In the Image Gallery template, I have everything set up as needed to fit in with my pages and added the following macro code:
4. Allowed the Image Gallery document type to be a child under Homepage.
5. Added a page under the Homepage called Image Gallery.
6. In the Image Gallery property, I chose the Image Gallery folder from my Media area.
7. In my Master template, I added the following lines because I saw those added to my Scripts area and wanted to make sure they were able to run on the page:
8. I then wrapped the macro in <div id="image gallery"> </div> tags and checked that those would show up in the rendered page. They did and the area between them was empty.
Did I need to change another setting elsewhere to "imageGallery"? The alias of my Image Gallery property in the document type was already set as "imageGallery", so I went with that in trying your suggestion.
The result of setting it that way in the macro within the template produces:
Server Error in '/' Application.

No, same error when I changed it to that. I thought that was going to work too. Yes, there are images in the folder. I've successfully used the same folder with the jqGallery package. I'm trying different things out and using this as a test folder.
There was an odd styling issue with the jqGallery's handling of this, but the package did work. What happened with that one is the images in the carousel displayed fine in IE, but were offset downward by 10 pixels or so and cut off in Firefox. I couldn't figure out why that was happening and just split the difference with them by raising the display a few pixels via the style sheet. So now my IE version shows the images a little too high and the Firefox shows them a little too low, but both fairly acceptable while not perfect.
Hi, just had the same problem. Found the solution to be to set your "folderId" to the value/name of your mediapicker and not as one might think your gallery folder name. Remember also to install ImageGen otherwise it will not work.
Designit Gallery not displaying anything.

I'm stumped on what to try next.
Any ideas?
Thanks for any help anyone can provide.
This is a longshot, but I don't know how well umbraco handles spaces in property aliases:
Would it be possible to just make it like this?:

Does it work if you just enter the id of the folder that you want to use? Like this:
And are there images in the folder that you selected?

Bet Designit Gallery isn't displaying anything.
