[Plugin: NextGEN Gallery] Custom Effect – Swap Image?

athenagold,
did you find a solution? Please share, I would really want this for my blog!
If anyone knows of such a plugin or even just a code to paste in the template, I would be really grateful!
Thanks.

Hello,
here is how I do it:
1. Go into nggfunctions.php in the nextgen-gallery plugin folder
2. Go to line 229 (or there abouts). You want function nggShowGallery($galleryID).
3. Look for “//1st look for ImageBrowser link” and put “//” in front of every line in that bit. Like so:

// 1st look for ImageBrowser link
//		if (!empty( $pid))  {
//			$out = nggShowImageBrowser($galleryID);
//			return $out;
//		}

4. Save the file.
5. In your template put the following: `
<?php
$pixGallery = ‘[gallery=123]’;
$pixGallery = apply_filters(‘the_content’, $pixGallery );
echo $pixGallery;
if ( function_exists(“nggShowImageBrowser”) ) {
echo nggShowImageBrowser(123); } ?>
`
6. Mess about with CSS to get it all looking the way you want it to look.

Have fun with it.

Thanks for this bit of code. However, I am unable to get an image selected from $pixGallery to display in the nggShowImageBrowser portion. Is there something I’ve missed? Instead, the images is opened in the shutter/lightbox/thickbox manner.

Thanks.
