Exclude image in gallery doesn't work properly no more

    Before the latest upgrades it was possible to exclude an image from the gallery by checking the appropriate box.
    This is very useful if you don’t want to see the image in the published gallery but, for example, use it as a single pic in the article: before upgrades it was working well in this way.
    Now if you exclude the image by checking the option it also disappears as single pic in posts, leaving the text “image not found”. So I had to remove the check from the exclude option, but in this way of course image is visible in gallery too.

    Nextgen works very well for me and I haven’t particular problem (apart from the excessive consumption of resources), in fact I think the plugin is improved. Now I don’t have to reinstall old changed files after updates, because all old changes of mine are now integrated, and in addition custom CSS, lang. files or fonts aren’t lost as before.
    So, thanks indeed Photocrati.
    But still remains the problem mentioned above 3 weeks ago: it would be useful to have back “exclude images” possibility from the gallery, now if you do the image is excluded, but also is impossible use the same image as single pic in a post.

    Hi tizz,

    I’m using NGG in the same way like you on my private blog, inserting single pics of a gallery within the text and displaying the remaining pics of that gallery at the bottom of the post.

    So i had the same annoying problem with singlepic adhering to the exclude property in the new version of NGG. Therefore i patched NGG to get the old behaviour. If you feel brave enough to edit the php code, here is what i did:

    • in modules/nextgen_gallery_display/class.displayed_gallery.php create a copy of the function get_included_entities, name it get_all_entities and replace the parameter ‘included’ with ‘both’ in the get_entities function call
    • in modules/nextgen_basic_singlepic/adapter.nextgen_basic_singlepic_controller.php replace the function call of get_included_entities with the newly created get_all_entities

    Thanks very much Tecchie, but I solved this after a while. Immediately I had marked this topic as resolved but I haven’t written how, but instead I could have said.
    I realized that now if you want to exclude images from the gallery, but use them as single pics, you have to exclude them from the APT in post/page editor, not from Manage Gallery. This prevent visualization only from the gallery.
    No patches are needed.
