## Installation
**[ A T T E N T I O N ] NextGEN Gallery core modification required!**
To use this plugin, you need to make a simple change to a NextGEN Gallery file(tested
with version 1.8.3).
This will be necessary until the change will not be integrated(
I have already sent the request to Alex Rabe). To make the change, follow the instructions:
1. Open the following file: /wp-content/plugins/nextgen-gallery/nggfunctions.php;
2. The changes affect the function nggCreateAlbum, go to row 580, just before the
3. // check for page navigation
4. if ($maxElement > 0) {
5. Enter the following filter:
6. $galleries = apply_filters(‘ngg_album_galleries_before_paging’, $galleries, $album);
————————;
7. To check if you have done correctly, check the screenshot (plugins/nextgen-gallery-
date/date/admin/images/ngg-new-filter.png);
Now, install the plugin:
1. Install & Activate the plugin (you need NextGEN Gallery plugin to be active!)
2. Check if there is a nggallery folder (and the gallery.php inside) in your theme
folder. If not, create that folder, then open the “nextgen-gallery” folder in wordpress
plugin folder, open “view” folder, copy gallery.php and album-extend.php and paste
them in the nggallery folder you created before.
3. in album-extend.php, inside te cycle ‘foreach ($galleries as $gallery)’ you can
use this var ‘$gallery->author_galleries’ to get a link (like this http://lorem.
com/lorem-ipsum/nggallery/auth-1) to reload the page only to show galleries created
by that author.
You can link directly the name of the author in this way:
4. ```
$author = get_the_author_meta('display_name', $gallery->author);
...
...
```
That’s it … Have fun
