Adding the Gallery Title and ‘Back to the Galleries List ’ to Gallery view page.

  • Hi.

    In the old NextGen Gallery I could add code to the gallery.php to display the Gallery Title and ‘Back to the Galleries List ’ to Gallery view page. (I got the code and instructions from a thread on this forum.)

    2 questions

    1) Has anyone made this change in the latest NextGen and if so where did you insert the code?

    2) This seems to me to be a basic requirement for album displays. Is there a way of requesting it as an enhancement to NextGen?

    TIA

  • Hello,

    I am looking for the thing.
    Adding a Back to the Album link without having it erased when update.

    Best regards,

    Quentin

    I would also like to be able to have a ‘back to album’ link to return to the album we just came from to view another gallery within that same album.

    A “Back to Album” link is a great idea! Would there be anything more specific you would like to see with this in the current version of NextGEN Gallery?

    I’ll be adding this to my Feature Request list all the same, but making it optional comes to mind for my own uses.

    Great news. Thanks.

    When displaying the gallery, I would like to display the Gallery Title and ‘Back to Album’. Ideally using the Album Title.

    I am not sure if necessary but I would like to have the font consistent with the site.

    Eg.

    Summer 2012 – Greece

    <Back to Vacations Album>

    Having it as an option would be ideal.

    Regards,

    Ritch

    I agree with Ritch. I like the optional feature. Right now my Gallery page does display the Gallery name so I would just need the ‘back to <Album Name>’ link.

    I was wondering if these features are on the Feature Request List and if there is any possibility of them being included soon.

    Regards,

    You can easily add a “Back to Album” link to gallery thumbnail display. You need to edit index.php file in folder:
    …/wp-content/plugins/nextgen-gallery/products/photocrati_nextgen/modules/nextgen_basic_gallery/templates/thumbnails

    Add just after the line starting
    id="ngg-gallery->?PHP echo $displayed_gallery_id ?>...

    the following piece of code and save index.php:

    <h3><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="Back to Album">? Back to album: <?php the_title(); ?></a></h3> <!--Return to album link/Vesa's addition-->

    This will display the link using Header 3 settings, of course you can change both the text before the actual link (Back to Album: ) to whatever you want and H3 attributes to what you may want.

    Basically you could also add the title of the displayed gallery in the same index.php file, but so far I haven’t found the name of the title field to be used yet…

    PS. if you want to see the above “Back to Album” at work, have a look at my test site album display and go from there to any Gallery:

    https://bisnes-it.com/wordpress-ngg-test/?page_id=188

    I you just show one gallery on one page, this rude hack links back to the same page where this one gallery is already displaying. Hope someone has time to elaborate the code a bit to get rid of this link in these situations…
