    First, I like NGG very much and find it very useful. I have a special challange which I can not solve. Google does not helped me a lot.

    Summyrized I would like to embedd single images of a gallery (not only the first one!) in the text of my post, preferably with floating. Clicking on the image should open a lightbox which displays all images of the gallery.

    I tried the following …

    Variant 1:
    [ngg_images gallery_ids=2 display_type=photocrati-nextgen_basic_thumbnails disable_pagination=1 override_thumbnail_settings=1 thumbnail_width=300 thumbnail_height=200 show_slideshow_link=0 images_per_page=1 show_all_in_lightbox=1 float=left]
    It show the first image of the selected gallery, floating does not work (works only with singlepic), clicking on it opens a lightbox with all images of the gallery.

    Variant 2:
    [ngg_images image_ids=24 display_type=photocrati-nextgen_basic_thumbnails disable_pagination=1 override_thumbnail_settings=1 thumbnail_width=300 thumbnail_height=200 show_slideshow_link=0 images_per_page=1 show_all_in_lightbox=1 float=left]
    Shows the selected image, floating does not work, clicking on the image opens a lightbox with only this image

    Variant 3:
    [ngg_images image_ids=24 gallery_ids=2 display_type=photocrati-nextgen_basic_thumbnails disable_pagination=1 override_thumbnail_settings=1 thumbnail_width=300 thumbnail_height=200 show_slideshow_link=0 images_per_page=1 show_all_in_lightbox=1 float=left]
    Same behavior like variant 2.

    Variant 4:
    [ngg_images gallery_ids=2 display_type=photocrati-nextgen_basic_singlepic show_all_in_lightbox=1 float=left]
    Shows the first image of the selected gallery. floating works, lightbox with only the first image of the gallery

    Variant 5:
    [ngg_images image_ids=24 display_type=photocrati-nextgen_basic_singlepic show_all_in_lightbox=1 float=left]
    Shows the selected image, floating works, lightbox with only the selected image

    Variant 6:
    [ngg_images image_ids=24 gallery_ids=2 display_type=photocrati-nextgen_basic_singlepic show_all_in_lightbox=1 float=left]
    Same like variant 5

    What I would like to have:
    I can select an image from my gallery, put it into my post (with floating) and on clicking on the image I get a lightbox with all images of the gallery. How I can achieve this?

    Thanks,
    wagenge

    @wagenge – Use the following shortcode as is (changing the gallery_ids parameter as needed to reference your specific gallery):

    [ngg_images gallery_ids=1 display_type=photocrati-nextgen_basic_thumbnails disable_pagination=1 images_per_page=1 show_all_in_lightbox=1 use_imagebrowser_effect=0]

    Adding the following parameters commonly found in your examples should be fine:
    override_thumbnail_settings=1 thumbnail_width=300 thumbnail_height=200 show_slideshow_link=0 … these can be added before the closing ] character.

    Using the SinglePic display type will not work for the premise you are putting forth. There is no float or image_ids parameter to be used with the Basic Thumbnails display type. To “float” the display you may be able to use the .ngg-galleryoverview class as part of your custom CSS.

    Thanks!

    Hello Cais,

    many thanks for the response.
    Your proposed shortcode works almost fine. But it displays only the first image of the gallery.
    Is there a way to specify the displayed image (one of the images in the gallery, not only the first one)?

    If there is no straight forward way can my problem be solved using a custom template?

    Thanks,

    @wagenge – The image being displayed is the first image in the gallery itself. Have you tried changing the order of the images to put the one you want used first?

    You may need to clear the image cache under Gallery > Other Options > Miscellaneous to see the effects immediately.

    Thanks!

    – Cais.
