   Ok, so yeah..

   im working with this client who really wants to add a LIST kinda functionality inside the thumbs captions.

   So whenever a thumbnail gets clicked. The data thats given inside the pictures description must be shown in several points under eachother, like so:

   • Year taken: 2011
   • Taken by: Bob
   • Possible?: I hope do

   I was really doubtfull wether its possible at all.. but after some digging I discovered your plugin (great job btw, will donate for sure).

   Im bad at thinking up php-solutions, but really good at implementing other peoples php-solutions.. lol, if youre still reading this, and have any ideas, much appreciated!

   Me myself; I started thinking wether (and if) it would be possible to use (something like)the wordpress custom_value method.

   Like so:
   <?php $year_taken= get_post_meta($post->ID,"year_taken",true); ?>
   etc. etc.

   Im just scared that:

   1 - waste of very much time ánd it wont work
   2 - waste of very much time because you (the reader) knows of a genious way to achieve this

   btw, tutorials, or videos, or whatever.. on this matter, are much appreciated.

   Thats about it, looking forward to some answers!

   Thanks so much for reading

   That's pretty much exactly what this plugin does. You can add multiple custom fields per image, and then output them however you want in the NGG templates (with the possible exception of adding to the thickbox popup).

   The FAQ describes how to display the custom fields in you template (hint: it's not get_post_meta()).

   If you have any specific questions, feel free to ask.

   sounds interesting!

   ill read the documentation first, but could you elaborate on this matter:

   "(with the possible exception of adding to the thickbox popup)."

   You can't add the custom fields to the thickbox popup. Here's another thread with a similar question: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-nextgen-custom-fields-where-do-i-put-the-code-for-custom-fields-in-an-album?replies=6
