I didn’t fix it using NextGEN, still waiting for the developers to get back to me on that.

I got it working using a different plugin. I will announce it here in few days if no response from the developers is given.

I would like for NextGEN to solve the problem as I really like the plugin.

Thank you, this will do.
have a great weekend.

Yes, just like that.

still, using your code

$custom_url = get_post_meta( $attachment_id, ‘_gallery_link_url’, true ); as specified in FAQ #4?

how can I extract the link? I’d rather use this link to WP gallery than to NextGen gallery. any advice on that?

thanks

Dan

Hi Fourlightsweb
Now I understand why we are not communicating.

reading online, I got the impression that one of the functionalities of your plugin is the ability to link a single picture that is displayed on a page/post to a gallery that would open in a same/different window and would allow to view all the pictures within it.

So I guess what I can do in this case is to use say NextGen plugin to create a gallery, get the link from it (and as it will be stored within my webpage) and I could use your plugin to link a single image to this gallery.

Seeing your FAQ#4 gave me the false feeling that WP gallery creates a gallery URL and if I extract it, I could point a single picture to it. in another words, say I have a post where I have this gallery and all the pictures within. Then if I had a page where I just want to have a single image that links to this gallery within that post, this URL and your plugin would allow me to do so.

any thoughts on this, since this should be clear as to my intentions?

your help is much appreciated and I really thank you
Dan

Hi Fourlightsweb
I am able to see where to put a custom link in, but FAQ #4 you suggest of how to get a URL that WP Gallery automatically generates and keeps it in the picture’s META. In FAQ #4 you suggest typing

$custom_url = get_post_meta( $attachment_id, ‘_gallery_link_url’, true );

I don’t understand where to type this into, into the Gallery Link URL field? is there a way of extracting the URL that WP generates?

would you suggest I generate a NextGen gallery and then get the link from there? But what if I just want to use the WP Gallery, how would I get the URL from it?

I guess my understanding of how WP gallery works is so primitive that my question is really not clear.

thanks,
Dan

Hi
I have not yet set anything up, I was just trying to figure out how to get the custom URL and have failed. I am not suggesting that this plugin doesn’t work, I just have no idea how to get the URL from the gallery – please read my original question again.

am still not able to figure out how to get the wp gallery URL or how to specify my own. Where would I type $custom_url = get_post_meta( $attachment_id, ‘_gallery_link_url’, true ); as specified in FAQ #4?

also https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/wp_get_attachement-url-get-img-url?replies=4 is not helping me.

I have no experience editing php files

Thanks

Hi Jeremy
You were correct; the culprit was the unlikeliest plugin – the Twenty Eleven Theme Extensions. I’ve contacted the author for solution. At the moment the carousel works as it should.
Again, thank you very much.
Dan

Hi Jeremy
Thank you very much, I will try your suggestions and will follow up back.

I really appreciate it.

Take care
Dan

On another note, I used the debugger with no errors.
Please let me know if you need any more information re-this issue.

many thanks
Dan

Thank you @frednat it worked for me too. this was the quickest problem that I solved with WP. nowadays it seems that I spend twice as much formating and fixing than actual writing.

@benedikt Mo nice plugin, have been using it for about a year.
