[Plugin: NextGEN Custom Fields] How to display a Gallery custom field in album t

    I was successful at creating new gallery custom fields, and displaying them in gallery template using the tag: <?php echo nggcf_get_gallery_field($gallery->ID, “My Gallery Field Name Here”); ?>

    All was well, however, when I tried to add the gallery custom fields to my album template (template=extend), using the same tag, the fields didn’t show up at all.

    What I wanted to do is to add two custom fields to my galleries: Open date, and Close date, and have these two fields show up next to the galleries’ preview images in an album page, along with the galleries’ descriptions.

    Could anybody give me some help here, please?

    Thanks a ton.

    Also, there was a problem that I encountered: custom fields disappeared after Save (in admin panel), but I found the answer to it, so I’m posting it here just in case anyone encounter the same problem.

    Problem: I installed NextGEN Custom Fields plugin, which allowed me to create custom fields for images and galleries for NextGen Gallery. Everything seemed to work fine until suddenly the Gallery custom fields of one of my galleries disappeared in admin panel after I entered the text into text area and text input fields, and hit Save. These text inputs were still being displayed on the gallery’s page itself, but not shown in the admin panel, thus I couldn’t edit what I had entered. How to make them reappear and to avoid this problem next time?

    Answer: Make sure that you didn’t enter several paragraphs (with line breaks) in text area fields. This would break the plugin, and make the gallery fields disappear. In order to make them reappear, you need to unlink the gallery fields to that particular gallery, and then re-link them. You will need to re-enter the text inputs, this time make sure there are no line-breaks. Instead make it all in one paragraphs in the text area field, and use HTML tags
    to separate paragraphs.

    The code for the gallery custom field should be: (to be put inside the foreach in the album template)

    <?php echo nggcf_get_gallery_field($gallery->gid, “Field Name”); /* This will show the “Field Name” custom field for all galleries in the template */ ?>

    Thanks Shauno for the guidance!
