Need Help With Drop Down Fields

  • Hi Shauno,

    I have set up a drop down field with two links that I want to use to separate images within one gallery. I have tried to insert <?php echo $image->ngg_custom_fields[“floorplans”]; ?> into the foreach loop an different lines within the code but nothing seems to work.

    I tried including the tag into the “tag” box in the actual gallery page on wordpress but that doesnt work either.

    Is there an exact line in the gallery.php where i need to put this <?php echo $image->ngg_custom_fields[“Your Field Name Here”]; ?> tag? Or what else could I be doing wrong here?

    Thanks for your help,
    Aaron

    You need to put that code inside he foreach, wherever in the markup you want the field to show. It sounds like you are doing that, so you probably just need to be sure you are adding it to the right template. The nextgen-gallery/view/gallery.php template is used when you call the shortcode [nggallery id=x] in your page or post.
    Is that the shortcode you are using?

    I have no idea. This problem stems from the fact that the Custom Post Type that I made lost its custom field panel in wordpress so I can’t even change the portions of those pages that are applying the nextGen galleries.

    This occurred after doing plug-in updates.

    Another thing of note is when renaming that gallery.php it has absolutely no effect on any of my pages.

    So so far, I’ve made a custom field on NextGen Custom Fields under Image Custom Fields – I am seeing the field in the gallery I want to add the drop down. I am setting up half the images in the gallery to be under their respective sections. I’ve added <?php echo $image->ngg_custom_fields[“floorplans”]; ?> just below the foreach loop, and ive tried every other line of code within that loop and still nothing works.

    Do you have any idea what the issue is here relating to the lost of the Custom Fields in my custom post type? And yeah, I’ve checked Screen Options.

    Thanks again

    btw I renamed the gallery.php and tried screwing with it to see if it had any effect at all on anything. Apparently not. Why is that?

    I have no idea about the WP custom fields panel not showing when editing a CPT.

    If the NGG Custom Fields are being created correctly, and then shown and saved correctly in NGG’s ‘Manage Gallery’ screen, then the plugin is working correctly.

    The gallery.php template is the default template that NGG uses when you use the shortcode [nggallery id=x]. You can add a ‘template’ argument to the shortcode, eg [nggallery id=x template=caption], then NGG will use the gallery-caption.php template.

    You need to figure out what template you are using, then added the code to show the custom field inside the loop there.
