i did this. the path was /project-gallery/test/, but the format is not at all how i want this all displayed.
please help.
any chance i could email/gmail chat directly?

or, would you be interested in helping me for hire? i could give you the admin login and you could poke around in there.

thanks man.

by menu i mean all the links in my sidebar – the main navigation area of my site: home, projects, videos, machine, contact.
if i start creating about 40 separate pages for all my galleries, i don’t want to see a list of those galleries on the left.

yes, there is a page named “test.”

i wonder about instead of an album make a gallery with one image from each album, that can then link to each of the separate pages?
hope you understand what i’m trying to do.

thanks man. i’ll keep “test” up for awhile longer.

good night

go to my site again and check out the “test” link. that works fine.
but i don’t want to see “test” on the menu. i want that page to come up when i select the gallery from the album page…

Yoshi,
you are the man. this is what i’ve been trying to do and it’s so easy!
however, how do i prevent all the separate gallery pages from being displayed in my menu?

I still want to keep the same format. Is this possible?

Thanks again man.
I think i’m pretty close. this will make all the difference to my site.

thanks again man.

page link to: not linked

yes. thanks.

go to “projects” (that page is displaying my album.)

when i click on any of those individual galleries, “eyebrow dormer” for example, i want to add text to the page that opens with all the thumbnails for eyebrow dormer.

thank you!

Thanks Toshi.
Still very confused about what to do here…

yes, try it again.
that NONE setting was critical for me.
simple setting somewhere is messing you up.
going to sleep. hope you get this solved as it’s starting to stress me out.

by the way, i assume when you tried simple lightbox that you removed/deactivated lightbox plus?
whichever one you’re trying to use you need to make sure it’s enabled, not just the plugin activated, and that wordpress and nextgen aren’t trying to do their own thing on top of it/behind it.

you have to “enable lightbox”
go to plugins, installed plugins, then you’ll see it there and click settings.
also go to gallery>options>effects and make sure “none” is selected.
incidentally, this might have been messing up your previous lightbox plus.

well, i know this might sound like a crappy solution, but have you considered trying a different lightbox plugin?
i use simple lightbox and it works great.

yeah, just poke around and read through all the options. make sure you don’t have another image-related plugin that could be conflicting.

there’s gotta be a setting somewhere either in nextgen or in lightbox plus that is causing this. or possibly another plugin conflicting.
sorry i can’t be of more help.

if you go to gallery>options>gallery settings is “show imagebrowser” checked?
if it is try unchecking it.

if you want to give me your admin login i’d try poking around in there for you. otherwise sorry i can’t be much help.
i have no idea what’s going on here.
