Found the same code on WordPress.org’s forum as WebDiggin. Just need to add template=template-name to it and make it work using my own ngg template. At the moment the code with template=template messes up the loading od the ngg and shows just two thumbnails… Very odd. Ideas?

PS:haha, sorry ignore my example because it automatically put the wrong comma’s in my reply. Just copy the code and put the straight comma’s in yourself…

I also would like to compliment you on this. You are so far the only one who had a clear and clean solution! But I’d like to add a warning for all the people like me who suck at php (learning slowly though). What Rick says here above happened to me too, so it’s not just you Rik. If you copy paste the code the comma’s are wrong!, make sure you paste it like this:

ID, ‘gallery’, true); ?>

paste it inside the loop and it will work.

I am trying to rebuild a site (moving from one server to another) and before I hit go I am trying to integrate your code into Thesis and use the multimedia box. However, all I get as an output is ID, ‘gallery’, true); ?>. It is obviously missing something. Sorry I can’t post a link – it is on a test install.

What I was hoping to do was dump the code you had in the multimedia box (part of Thesis) complete without using the extra field element.

Is that possible please?

Thanks

I can’t seem to get this to display a different gallery type other than the standard. Trying to get the [template=galleryview] tag integrated, but no luck so far (I’m not so good with PHP). Any ideas?

Thanks!

Very useful this. Just what I’ve been looking for. I’ve struggled with the PHP to do this and hey presto, a quick search and here it is. Thanks a lot

Im running smooth gallery for nextgen and no matter what i do i cant get this to work…. any suggestions?? I basically want to put it in a custom template which has 1 column for the text and 1 for the gallery and a series of other un-editable images (which are hard coded into the template)

at the moment the code simply sits on the page and is floated right, but obviously i need to make it into a workable column.

Thanks!!!!!!!!
