   Hi,
   Is it possible to set a field value directly via a php-function instead of via the WP Dashboard?

   Hey tricks

   Unfortunately this was actually my first released plugin, and I hadn't got into the habit of breaking EVERYTHING down into the simplest APIs.

   That being said, inserting directly into the table is pretty simple. Have a look at the nggcf_save_pics() function for a basic idea. It takes all the pictures when saving a gallery in NGG and loops through them INSERTING or UPDATING wp_nggcf_field_values.

   Essentially the fields in wp_nggcf_field_values are:

   • pid - The picture's ID
   • fid - The custom field's id (from wp_nggcf_fields)
   • field_value - The value string
   • dateadded - Just a timestamp (date('Y-m-d H:i:s', time()))
   • ngg_type - The constant numeric 1 for images (2 is for gallery custom fields)
