Using an album id of 0 will show all galleries

It sounds like you have unchecked the option “Deactivate gallery page link:”

This will only work if you also link each gallery to a page in that gallery’s settings. Add pages for the galleries and link them and all will be well. If you add the pages using the button on each gallery’s settings page then the linking is done for you.

If I understand what you are after, you can do this by making gallery pages and linking from albums to those instead.

On the gallery management page for a gallery you’ll see a button to the right marked “Create new page” which will generate a page containing the gallery shortcode for you. Do this for each gallery.

Then in the general Gallery Settings (Gallery tab in Options) make sure that Deactivate Gallery Page Link is unchecked.

Then when you click on a gallery thumbnail in your page of albums, you go to that gallery’s dedicated page instead.

Don’t know if you worked this out but you just make a new album containing all the other albums and show that.

I’m going to look at writing this – don’t know how successful I will be yet, but I haven’t seen another gallery as good as this one and don’t want to ditch the nice admin for my clients just to get SEO.

Don’t hold your breath or stop your own developments, but I’ll report back here if I get anything done.

Quick question to Alex/anyone – why when I turn on the friendly URL option in NGG and then navigate through a gallery do I get the same URL showing in my browser bar for every image?

Wish me luck. If it works and people like it I’ll either hand over the code to Alex or put in a little time making it into a proper plugin to enhance NGG.

Turn off all your plugins & see if that fixes it. If so, re-enable them one by one testing as you go,

It’s most likely a plugin whose JavaScript causes issues in IE versions 5.5 to 7.

Thanks but that would seem to show the most recent comments for all posts in a sidebar and what I want is to show comments for a given post on a secondary page that is linked to from the post page.

Same problem, no answer ??

I had a broken theme that caused this yesterday. Reset the theme (and template if appropriate) to default in the wp-options table of the database and see if that fixes it.

I had the opposite problem.

I followed the instructions in the Codex for moving WordPress but the images embedded in pages all broke.

Looking at the Page source code, it looks as though updating the settings doesn’t update the source code.

I’ve had to go through the Page editor & hack all the paths to the images within it.

Ah yes – I know that, but thanks for the reply Alex.

What I am doing is embedding an album, choosing a template with the [album] shortcode.

My question is, is there then a way of applying a template to the galleries linked to by that album?

Thanks.

Hmm – sorry but seem to have posted twice – I am a competent programmer, honest!

Just a quick bump of my question now I’ve set the tag to nextgen-gallery. Ta.

AH – but I have mine active :-S I’ll do some more testing – thanks.

Is this with the Deactivate gallery page link setting off? I get the same in Safari: clicking and nothing happens.
