This plugin has some issues with recent PHP versions and NextGEN Gallery versions. This is an overview of the problems. Most can be fixed fairly easily and I can post more details on the errors or fixes if anyone is interested.
There are several PHP warnings or errors depending in the PHP version. These can be fixed by following a PHP version upgrade guide.
After NGG version 3.37 there is a missing function error. This is because NGG removed some legacy code. This can be fixed by copying the function find_gallery( ) from the NGG version 3.37 legacy code into nextgen-ic.php of this plugin.
In the Image Chooser of this plugin the images of the gallery thumbnails do not display. This is because $image->thumbURL; is empty for function nggic_get_image_info() in nextgen-ic.php. This was due to the information returned by find_image() had some changes after the NGG version 3.37. One of which is the thumbnail URL is not included anywhere in the info. I fixed this by creating the URL from pieces that are returned but there might be a better way.
]]>Ulrich, I have been very satisfied with you plugin for years. It follows the same logic I use when I want to insert several images from a gallery to a post. However, it has not been updated for a couple of years and WordPress is now issuing warnings about this. Do you have any intentions to make it compatible with the latest WordPress releases? (I noticed you made a new plugin (Image Chooser Block), however it also has a two year lag in terms of updates.)

I was wondering how much it would cost to even try getting someone on Fiverr to do it for me. ??
]]>I have been using the image chooser to insert thumbs into posts and pages, returning a shortcode like this:
[thumb id=16142,16143,16144,16145,16146,16147]
Recently, when saving a post, or even when switching between text and visual mode, the shortcode changes into this.
<img src="https://myfakeurl.com/wp-content/plugins/nextgen-gallery-image-chooser/images/ngg_placeholder_image.jpg" alt="16142,16143,16144,16145,16146,16147" />
This happens all over the place, on two websites. The shortcode above works, but I will have to make sure it has not changed before I publish a new post or republish an old post.
Has this something to do with old (legacy) Nextgen Gallery shortcodes? I can’t figure out what changes in settings I have made to cause this error.
Let me also add that this (and switching between text and visual view) all too often causes the rendering of the page to halt – it goes into a spin and refuses to respond.

]]>I changed to the latest version of NextGen Gallery and found this error when trying to insert an image from the Image Chooser:
Fatal error: Call to undefined method nggdb::find_all_album() in xxxxxxxxx/wp-content/plugins/nextgen-gallery-image-chooser/nextgen-ic.php on line 145
xxxxx is my site.
I hope you will look into this….!

]]>hi umertin,
your plugin is great to sort galleries not only by ID (default in NGG) to insert single pics.
but, I can’t see Albums and the galleries assigned to albums…
like in your screenshots
I just see the galleries which are not in albums…
are you aware of this?
still a great plugin… but seems as functionallity has been reduced…?

]]>Feels like NextGen Gallery has left images as an afterthought since it’s change. This plugin fixes some of that.
I have a Blog that I use to showcase my drawings. I post about 1-5 images per post and I use Singlepic because I want the images to be large enough to see (but not to large), lightbox effect for larger viewing, being able to float them to the sides of text.
I need to be able to set size, float and have a lightbox effect when clicking on the image with other words. I really like what you have done with this plugin. Easy browsing. So a option like this with or without really Using Singlepic would be wonderful!

]]>I have used the plugin successfully several times before and am not sure what has changed in the last couple of weeks. However, now when I install and use the plugin to add an image to my site I receive the following error messages when trying to either save, preview, or publish a post.

I need to reset my browser cache in order to resume operation on my blog. Any help would be most appreciated.

]]>We’re using the Image Chooser toolbar button with the latest version of NGG. However, every time we hit the button, we get this error message:
Required NextGEN Gallery was not found!
Anyone know how to fix? Please advise. Thank you.

]]>Hi, this is such a great plugin!
Do you think it would be possible to make an add-on for Advanced Custom Fields, so that you can select an image through your plugin?
I just thought to ask in case you might already have something for this.
Cheers!
