   Hi all.

   I have found way to use tags in NextGen single pics. I'm tagged every single picture, and then create pages which contains only this: [tags=specific_tag], and of course tagged with "specific tag". By this way i'm getting single page with all my pictures tagged with "specific tag".

   It's be very cool if i can insert text link to "blog.com/tags/specific_tag" right into description of image. Of course i can create them DIY, but only if i had to be more IT guy...

   I think there is a way to grab specific single image tags and write them in description of image.

   Any help?

   My question earlier also had to do with tags. While you can create a page for each tag, this is a very laborious way of dealing with it.

   It would be much better if there was a way to generate a tag cloud from the image tags and then have the gallery GENERATE the page automatically when you click on a tag.

   I have managed to create a tag cloud but where I'm stuck is how to generate the page with the images tagged with that tag. Nextgen seems to only work when you create a page/post in Wordpress and does not allow for automaticaly/dynamically generating pages... or am I wrong?

   It would be great if Alex could comment on this :) Cheers!

   I am doing it now from a tag cloud. I did have to execute a php script from the page. I guess this could also be done in the theme or posibly a plug-in.

   I am using the exec-php plug-in and have this for the html of the page:
   <?php
   if ($_REQUEST["tag"] <> "") echo "[tags=".$_REQUEST["tag"]."]";
   ?>

   Works great. I am probably going to use the album tag if multiple tags are being searched. Makes more sense.

   I would also like to figure out how to search tags like tag1+tag2 so the return is only the pictures that include both tags. Does anyone no how to do this?

   realsol,
   Can you please expand on how you use the

   <?php
   if ($_REQUEST["tag"] <> "") echo "[tags=".$_REQUEST["tag"]."]";
   ?>

   I add it to my post and it just shows up. No tags from my nextgen photos anyplace or in a cloud. I'm guessing their are some assumptions I'm missing. I do have the exec-php plugin.

   Thank you for your time. I'm sure many people are going nuts trying to sort this out.
