   Hi All,

   Has anyone got a good method for creating a list of images in a gallery but link using the Alt & Title Text instead of thumbnails?

   Essentially, i'm after the same result as [nggallery id=x], but with text links in place of thumbnails.

   Cheers!

   OK so I worked it out :)

   Using templates is the answer to everything! Info on templates can be found here.

   The template I made in the end is here:

   <?php
   /**
   Template Page for the gallery overview
   
   Follow variables are useable :
   
   	$gallery     : Contain all about the gallery
   	$images      : Contain all images, path, title
   	$pagination  : Contain the pagination content
   
    You can check the content when you insert the tag <?php var_dump($variable) ?>
    If you would like to show the timestamp of the image ,you can use <?php echo $exif['created_timestamp'] ?>
   **/
   ?>
   <?php if (!defined ('ABSPATH')) die ('No direct access allowed'); ?><?php if (!empty ($gallery)) : ?>
   
   <div class="ngg-galleryoverview" id="<?php echo $gallery->anchor ?>">
   
   	<!-- Thumbnails -->
   	<?php foreach ( $images as $image ) : ?>
   			<a href="<?php echo $image->imageURL ?>" title="<?php echo $image->description ?>" <?php echo $image->thumbcode ?> >
   				<div><?php echo $image->description ?></div>
   			</a>
   	<?php if ( $image->hidden ) continue; ?>
   	<?php if ( $gallery->columns > 0 && ++$i % $gallery->columns == 0 ) { ?>
   	<br style="clear: both" />
   	<?php } ?>
    	<?php endforeach; ?>
   
   	<!-- Pagination -->
    	<?php echo $pagination ?>
   
   </div>
   
   <?php endif; ?>

   That's the whole file so you can copy it in and see what it does! Hope this helps some others out there.
