   Hello all,

   I am using NextGEN Gallery which is a great plug-in for your albums etc. It has a lot of options, one of them is Number of columns.

   I was wondering, is it possible to set the Number of columns for each page? I have some gallery's where I want only 3 colums and an other page with 6 coluns. (It is possible to set it to 0 but that everything mess itself up.)

   So where in the code do I have to make some changes?

   It looks like the column control display code is in /nextgen-gallery/view/ directory? Which file to edit depends on which gallery shortocde you use. As I use the gallery-caption option I'd have to edit the gallery-caption.php file.

   You could hardcode some/all gallery names setting some/all with a column value. Or, avoid hardcoding names by naming your galleries with a suffix like -3 and -6. When the updated code runs it could check the suffix and set the number of colums accordingly. That way the code doesn't need updating each time you add a new gallery.

   I don't know php so cant help with that part.

   Thanks for your reply mikeg9999,

   I am just using [nggallery id=x]
   It would be nice to change the shortcode with a suffix like this:
   [nggallery id=x col=3]

   I found in the following code in /nextgen-gallery/nggfunctions.php
   

   // fixed width if needed
       $gallery->columns    = intval($ngg_options['galColumns']);
       $gallery->imagewidth = ($gallery->columns > 0) ? 'style="width:' . floor(100/$gallery->columns) . '%;"' : '';

   If somebody could help me with this, that would be nice. My knowledge of php is also not the best. But I will try it myseld.

   I like the [nggallery id=x col=3] suggestion.

   Laudde, I was looking for an option like this too. I have fixed this through CSS for now by changing the width. You can see the result here, hope it helps you:

   div#ngg-gallery-X-YYY { width: 370px; float: right; }
   X is the gallery-id and YYY the page-id

   An option to do [nggallery id=x col=2] would be great indeed!

   Hi Jeroen,

   Nice job. And than you set columns=0?
   I still want to [nggallery id=x col=2] option. That would be awesome.

   That's right, columns = 0

   However, the option you are suggesting would be better!

   Please make yourself familiar with the template option like this:

   [nggallery id=1 template=sample1]

   You may google for it, this will solve your problem. Regards, Uli
