[NEXTGEN - PLUGIN] Adding Photos to Blog Posts (2 posts)

    I like that when I click on a thumbnail, it expands a picture without taking the reader to a different page. I want to utilize this in my blog posts. So I created a gallery called BLOG-PHOTOS. When I want to add a photo to a post, I upload it to this gallery. Then on the post page, I insert picture from NextGen gallery and all works great. The thumbnail now expands the image like I want.

    Here's the problem. It also allows the user to scroll through all the photos in that gallery, even though I only added one to the post.

    You can see an example here: http://michael.muthart.com/blog/
    Click on the first and only photo in the latest post [John Butter]. Notice that it expands the photo, but allows the user to click a right arrow that takes them to the photo posted in the previous blog.

    Is there a way to utilize NextGen to only expand the one photo in the post without having the ability to scroll all pictures in the album? I don't want to have to create a separate album just for one picture. But I want the ability for the thumbnail to work like NextGen does.

    Figured it out.

    In a Post Page, NextGen adds a small icon above the post box (NOT the Upload/Insert Icon). Next to the Show/Hide Kitchen Sink Icon.

    Click on the icon and select which gallery to use and then go to the photo tab and select only the photo you want to use in that post.

    Doing it this way does not link the photos in individual posts.
