Nextgen Imagebrowser customization

  • Hi!

    I’m using image browser and would like to customize a few things.

    – I’d like to change the arrows and previous/next navigation buttons with a previous and next image I have designed.

    – When you click the image, it directs you to the image url. I’d like to disable that, so if you click on the image nothing happens

    – I’d like to add a custom id to the image to use it later with my custom css

    I’ve seen some posts that show different paths to files that can be tweaked to customize nextgen. I’ve tried with files in wp-content/plugins/nextgen-gallery/products/photocrati-nextgen/modules/ngglegacy/view and wp-content/plugins/nextgen-gallery/products/photocrati-nextgen/modules/nextgen_basic_imagebrowser
    However, nothing seems to happen when I change those files. Where should I make the changes?
    Also, it’d be great to have a custom template so that those changes aren’t overwritten by updates. I’ve read it is possible to use custom templates with shortcodes, but image browser doesn’t seem to be added to the post with a shortcode.

    Any ideas? Thank you!

    @muydelpalo – Your best bet would be to create a custom template based on the NextGEN Legacy template found here: wp-content/plugins/nextgen-gallery/products/photocrati_nextgen/modules/ngglegacy/view/imagebrowser-caption.php

    Just save your new template to the same location and set it as the default for your ImageBrowser displays.

    Thanks!

    Hi! Thank you! I have been able to create the template and load it. Now the previous/next buttons look the way I want!

    However, even though AJAX pagination is enabled on gallery settings, it has stopped working.

    Also, I think I need to change this line of code to erase the <a> element, so nothing happens when you click on the picture, but I don’t know what I should write

    <div class="pic"><?php echo $image->href_link ?></div>

    Thanks again for the help!

    @muydelpalo – Unfortunately, in most cases, the Ajax Pagination does not seem to work with NextGEN Legacy templates (since it was only introduced with the current NextGEN Gallery).

    Although we do offer some minor support for custom templates, generally their creation and maintenance is outside the scope of support we currently provide. As it is, the code line you are referencing is not an easy replacement … I would suggest looking at var_dump( $image ) to see what else you might be able to work with.

    Thank you very much Cais!

    I have tried it but can’t seem to get the effect I am looking for. Guess it’s for more advanced users. But thanks for your help anyway!
