    Hi, I currently use the plugin to add videos to galleries by adding the video code into a custom field text area for each gallery, this works great untill I want to adjust size or other setting on the video as I have to manually edit each gallery, and I have a lot of galleries.
    What I’m trying to do is add the video code to gallery.php and then use a custom field to show it on selected galleries.
    I’ve been trying this without success so far:

    <?php if (condition): ?>

html code to run if condition is true

<?php else: ?>

html code to run if condition is false

<?php endif ?>

    But I dont know what to do for the condition.
    So my custom field is nggcf_get_gallery_field($gallery->ID, "mp4") and it is a drop down selection with just one option TRUE, I’m hoping that if the condition is not met TRUE it wont show, that way I don’t need to select false on galleries with no videos, this works with other custom fields I’ve done by just leaving them empty.
    But how do I set the condition to show TRUE so it shows the video html?

    Hi mcfester

    If the value is literally “TRUE”, than this will do what you want:

    <?php if(nggcf_get_gallery_field($gallery->ID, "mp4") == "TRUE"): ?>
	//true condition
<?php else: ?>
	//false condition
<?php endif; ?>

    Hi, thanks, I’ve also just this minute found a solution nearly the same as yours, I was having problems with the brackets in wrong places etc, not being a coder I’ve been up all night playing with this simple bit of code.

    <?php if (nggcf_get_gallery_field($gallery->ID, "Include Video") == 'Yes') { ?>
	<!-- Video -->
	<div class="video">
		My video code here!
	</div>
<?php } ?>

    My first bit of coding, I’m impressed lol
