Album/Gallery display

  • Hi,

    I’m using the NextGen Gallery plugin and have just updated to the latest version (2.0.31).

    I want to change the gallery format on the https://www.candicecolley.co.uk/gallery page.

    I now want a thumbnail per album to be on the gallery page and when a thumbnail is clicked this will take you to separate (full width) page where all the images in that album can be viewed (with each image having a lightbox effect).

    I’m lost with how to do this on the new version through the settings. I’m a bit of a novice when it comes to NextGen!

    Hoping somebody can help. Thanks.

  • Your first problem is getting an image to link to a page. As far as I know this is not directly supported by NextGen – I’ve looked because I need this for a new site I’m working on.

    The only solution I found was a hack to the the NextGen code, which would have to be re-applied every time you upgraded the plugin … currently a far too frequent occurence!

    Then you’d just have to manually create the extra pages to hold a normal gallery.

    The instructions are at holondesign.com/nextgen-by-photocrati-gallery-thumbnails-go-to-pages.

    I’m considering using the wordpress media gallery (which has a plugin to manage linking images to pages) and jetpack extensions instead on the new site.

    @s872 – Have you looked at the “Page Link to” option that can be set for your Album?

    Go to Gallery > Manage Albums … select an album from the drop down.
    Now click on the <Edit Album> button that appears. A pop-up will now show where you can make additional changes to the Album including the “Page Link to” option.

    The “Page Link to” option can be set for a gallery as well but may not be what you are looking for.

    – Cais.
