This is excellent, thanks. It’ll be great if Alex Rabe adds this to the plugin as an option at some point, so as to not have it get overwritten during upgrades when added!

Great stuff!- but when I switch to slideshow it disappears…
Where do I edit the slideshow template?
Thanks,
Mike

Thanks Mat – I wasn’t aware of that! Seems like a good addition (it may have already been there). Much better to keep hacks away from the core plugin files if you can.

Thanks a lot! I had been trying to just lift the gallery description code from my album view template. That didn’t work, your way did!

One thing you can also consider, which may not have been in place in the NextGen version in place when you wrote this post: You can now create your own copies of the NextGen view files, such as gallery.php, which are place in a folder called ‘nggallery’, which you create in your own theme folder.

NextGen will now look in this folder before it looks for the plugin versions. This way, you aren’t modifying the core files & you can have your own versions as part of your theme, which will be unaffected by plugin upgrades.

Thanks again for the code

Thanks so much. This worked perfectly. It would be awesome to see this in a separate plugin.

HI there

I found your blog whilst searching for help in NextGen. I’ve been battling with it too, but not getting much further, so I thought I’d be cheeky and ask your advise.
I just do not seem to be able to link the album page with my single gallery folder photo to an actual gallery. I tried a using the “Page Link to:” in the Manage Gallery section to connect to a previously built page, but the page created is inserted into my main navbar… any ideas please..?

Cheers from Scotland.
