Custom fields into gallery on single post page?

    I’m using NextGen Custom Fields to capture the place the gallery was shot and the company that organized the event.

    I currently have a post for each NextGen gallery, and I’m using the [ nggallery id=1234 ]shortcode to embed the gallery into each post.

    What would be the best (or easiest) way for me to be able to display the custom fields on the post page for the embedded gallery? I was considering adding a new shortcode for NextGen to pick up and display the custom fields but that wouldn’t be a durable solution, as I’d have to re-add those functions each time I update NextGen.

    Any help at all will be awesome! ??

    Hi Zefrem23
    I’m not sure I understand your question. You would just use the tag <?php echo $image->ngg_custom_fields["Your Field Name Here"]; ?> to output custom fields in the gallery template. Is that what you are trying to do?

    I think that’s what I’m trying to do ??

    Which file is the gallery template?

    plugins/nextgen-gallery/view/gallery.php

    You put the code inside the foreach loop outputting the images. Check out the plugin FAQ for more info

    Thanks for the help, I got it doing what I want ?? I had to use the gallery field code,

    <?php echo nggcf_get_gallery_field($gallery->ID, "My Field"); ?>

    but it works a treat! Thanks again ??

    Sorry, I just assumed you were using image custom fields. At least the FAQ helped you sort it out ??
