NextGEN Gallery – Link type and lightbox for every picture

  • Hello, i have a simple problem with my NextGEN gallery. I use version 2.0.7. When i hit Attach to post button in my editor it will not show the code [nggallery id=xxx] instead of this it will add only some html tag. It is visible in text mode and it looks like this:

    <img class=”ngg_displayed_gallery mceItem” alt=”” src=”https://something.cz/index.php/nextgen-attach_to_post/preview/id–1600&#8243; />

    But in the Editor is nothing visible, not even any preview picture. Anyway i would like to attach the gallery to post as [nggallery id=xxx] type. is there any way how to do it automatically. I couldnt find anything in settings.

    Second question is about lightbox. Is there any possibility that every picture on page will be shown in NextGEN gallery lightbox? I mean if i add a picture on my page throug WP button add file (not through LightBOX Gallery) is there any possibility that lightbox will work for these pictures too?

    @mpa72: The attach-to-post button only works in visual mode. If you insert it in visual mode and then go to to text mode, yes, you’ll see the html for the placeholder image. The new interface is trying to move away from shortcodes.

    The only issue, we recognize, is if you want to stay in text mode and be able to add/edit galleries. For that, you can just add the short code directly. You can use legacy shortcodes (so just type [nggallery id=xxx]) or you can use our new shortcodes. They’re more complicated, but more flexible:

    Oh – and for right now, no, you can’t force apply the NextGEN lightbox to images outside of NextGEN. We’ve considered doing it, but there are some issue and concerns there we need to work through.

    Thank you for answer. My problem is that i need lighbox for all my pictures not only for galleries. So i did it like this, i installed jQuery Lightbox and this i am using for displaying all pictures, even for pictures in your gallery. Problem is that this works only if i use the shortcode not the new html code, jQuery Lightbox dont see pictures in gallery if they are placed with the new html code.

    This would be not so big deal i could use jQuery Lightbox only for pictures outside galleries and your Lightbox for galleries, but to be honest i dont really like it. Template in jQuerry Lightbox and in you rallery is different and the Language is different too, so than it looks little bit wierd.

    SO that is why i need to placing short code, or make pictures in gallery somehow visible for jQuery Lightbox.
