[Plugin: NextGEN Gallery] NextGen Carousel

I can add one carousel gallery per post. I only wonder if I could add a specific one as a custom field so I can load it where it should appear. Other thing I wonder about how to load a description field under every gallery image (main large image)

Well, going to make my own custom NGG theme based on NGG Carousel them to achieve what I need.

yes this would be the best…

<?php /* NG Gallery Custom Field Rotating Images  */
	$gallery = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'nggid', true);
	$gal = $gallery;
	$gal = apply_filters('the_content', '[gallery='.$gal.']' );
	echo $gal;
	?>

works. But

<?php /* NG Gallery Custom Field Rotating Images  */
	$gallery = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'nggid', true);
	$gal = $gallery;
	$gal = apply_filters('the_content', '[gallery='.$gal.'template=carousel images=5]' );
	echo $gal;
	?>

Does not. Neither am I able to load a carousel using short tags like this [gallery=1 template=carousel images=5] Is this because I use a child theme? Actually I want to load gallery-resort.php from child-them/nggallery/gallery-resort.php, but somehow that does not seem to work either. It is driving me crazy..

Hmm shorttag [nggallery id=1 template=carousel images=5] does work inside post now. Let me see if I can adjust the custom field code. This:

<?php /* NG Gallery Custom Field Rotating Images  */
    $gallery = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'nggid', true);
    $gal = $gallery;
    $gal = apply_filters('the_content', '[nggallery id='.$gal. 'template=carousel images=5 ]' );
    echo $gal;
 ?>

Results in a gallery not found..

Got it working. Now I just need the carousel not to go up to the top of the page when a thumbnails is clicked and for a bottom description bar to load the caption.

When I click a thumbnail using the NextGen carousel it automatically goes to the top of the page when it has loaded the picture of choice. Still trying to figure out how it could focus on the center of the chosen main image.
Second issue is that the arrows are not shown.

Scrap the arrow issues. Probably need more images to show an arrow to go to hidden thumbnails. The issues on going to top of page when thumbnail is clicked still remains though..

Rhand,

I need your help. I am looking to accomplish pretty much what you achieved. I have NextGen Gallery in place, I want to use the custom field to pick the gallery id I want to display, and I want it to use the: https://nextgen-gallery.com/templates/galleryview/ (GallerView template). How would I link this template in the PHP code? I would greatly appreciate your help with this!

Thank you!!!

Rhand i had the same problem about going on the top of the page. My solution is pretty simple, just add before the image and add #target in the end of the prev/next and thumbnail links.

But i have another problem, I want to change the next/prev link. By default they show the prev/next thumbnail page, but I want it more simlpe – just to show prev/next image. Does anyone has a solution for that ?

See https://nextgen-gallery.com/image-browser/

no, i want the thumbnails :). I found a solution but i have to show all the thumbnails. Maybe i’ll write a JS for them

@daskaloff Please would you be more specific about your #target solution? Where would you place this for a Carousel (and which .php file)?

Thanks for the tip.

Is there been a solution for this? I want to have a link under the main image as well, but i’m using the carousel gallery instead, anyone?
