Hi Svendsen
Ive also been using the next Gen gallery to manage all the images etc in our wordpress site..
The best way i could find to control the images was to start of by making a base "page" -> Gallery,
this file has its own template file, (ie: same as index.php) but instead of it calling the sidebar(); function, i used the
<?php include(TEMPLATEPATH .'/sidebar_gallery.php'); ?>
on this page i couldn't find any dynamic way of producing the Grid view images, so i just created a table and linked all my gallery thumbs to its own page,
Each Gallery page is a sub-page of Gallery
so the navigation would look like this
-Gallery
--Album1
--Album2
--Album3
etc:
within the sidebar of the gallery i used the code to grab only the child pages of the main page Gallery, to display a list of all the other albums within the Main Gallery
<?php if($post->post_parent)
$children = wp_list_pages('sort_column=menu_order&title_li=&child_of='.$post->post_parent.'&echo=0');
else
$children = wp_list_pages('sort_column=menu_order&title_li=&child_of='.$post->ID.'&echo=0');
if ($children) { ?>
<div class="sidebar-box">
<h2>More Albums</h2>
<ul><?php echo $children; ?></ul></div>
The webpage is here for the example http://www.shugtech.co.uk/gallery
If anyone else knows of a good way of displaying a Grid view: ie
One page holds all the thumb nails from each album were each is linked to its own page or full album that would be good.
