Nextgen failing with some themes (1 post)

    Hi all a first post so appologies if I get anything wrong. I have searched but can't find an answer.

    I used the Nextgen plugin sucessfully a little while back and was so impressed with the functionality and flexibility I was going to make it my media manager of choice.

    The last two sites I have had issues with it when trying to use it to replace the media libaray manager. The issue I have at present is that the theme I am using uses a full screen slider and uses a custom post type.

    I can set the theme fine using the Media Library but can't when I opt over to Nextgen. I don't understand why it is that the Media Library option works fine and not Nextgen. I am litterally selecting the Nextgen tab from the media libary Manger to select the image.

    I can't find details on how the two differ in the way that they are coded in such a circumstance or what the possible difference might be.

    I thought that the post type slides was called and that contained the media but this can't be the case. Can one of you knowledgable souls enlighten me so that I can educate myself.

    Thanks in advance

    Line of code below from

    <?php }else{
    										//Last to First
    										//query_posts(array('post_type'=>'slides')); 
    
    		//First to Last
    																		query_posts('post_type=slides&order=ASC&posts_per_page=-1');
    																		$output = "";
    																		$n= 0;
    																		//Loop for Post Types Slides
    										if ( have_posts() ) while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();
    										$n++;
    										//Slide Image
    										$thumbnail = wp_get_attachment_image_src(get_post_thumbnail_id(), 'full');
    										//Get the Slide meta info
    		$slide_link = get_post_meta(get_the_ID(), 'mb_slide_link', true);
    										  								$output.="{";
    										$output.="image : '". $thumbnail[0] ."'";
    										if($slide_link != ''){
    		$output.="  , url : '". $slide_link." '";
    		} ;
    		output.="},";
    		endwhile;
    		if($n > 1){
    										$output = substr ($output, 0, -1);
    		}
    										 echo $output;
    										// Reset the global $the_post as this query will have stomped on it
    		wp_reset_query();
    ?>
