[Plugin: NextGEN Gallery] Single image previews for custom blog theme

    I’m working on a template for a photography site. NextGen gallery has become very appealing for many of it’s organization and usability features, though I’m running into a problem with some templating issues.

    I’d like to have recent galleries posted to the home page of the site, which would pull one thumbnail from the gallery along with an excerpt description that would link to the gallery page. Using the built in wordpress gallery I can pull the photo using the “get_children” and “wp_get_attachment_image” to pull an image from the gallery inserted into the post. Is there any similar way of doing this with NextGen?

    I know that you can show images or galleries based on their ids, but is it possible to pull an image from a gallery using some sort of function that can get the gallery id from the post? I don’t want to show the whole gallery on the home page, just a preview that the visitor can click through to get to the post containing the gallery.

    I can post examples of the code I’m using to pull the current gallery attachments and a link to the site for reference if need be.

    Hello,

    I think you are looking for this tag [album template=extend]

    I am trying to link an album image to a page not the image file its self.

    Hope that helps
