Have you altered the gallery template to actually use the custom field?

Hi Shauno
Yes, I have done this too.
In the gallery.php file I changed the line to:
ngg_custom_fields[“custom link”]; ?>” title=”<?php echo $image->description ?>” <?php echo $image->thumbcode ?> >
I feel really stuck as not sure what is causing this. I’d be happy to give you my logins to take a quick look if you think that might help?
thanks mate

Is your custom field called “custom link”?
I’m not in front of my dev machine right now, but send me the access details to shaunalberts AT gmail DOT com, and I will have a look at it a little later for you.

Just to wrap this thread up for anyone else who comes across it. They were using the shortcode [nggallery id=x template=caption], but they hadn’t made changed the ‘gallery-caption.php’ template.
Once they changed the template, it worked as expected.

If you have a template called “gallery_customlink.php”, then your shortcode needs to be: [nggallery id=3 template="customlink"]
okay. i’ll try with this code.
is file name=template name?
Sorry, still it is opening in light box only……

Have you changed the “gallery_customlink.php” to actually use the custom field?
Actually wen i changed the code from <a>imageURL ?>” ……….to </a><a>ngg_custom_fields[“custom link”]; ?>”…….. in nggallery/view/gallery.php it is working fine means opening the custom URL. If i copy the same code in gallery_customlink.php(everything is same as in gallery.php) and used the shortcode [nggallery id=3 template=”customlink”], then it is not working.

You need to post code in backticks, or it breaks the forum. I can’t see what you’ve done.

You need to call the template “gallery-customlink.php” (notice the hyphen, and not the underscore).
You then call the template with the short code [nggallery id=3 template=”customlink”] (notice the template only has “customlink” in it.
That will call the new template you have created, and it will use custom fields if you have them setup for the gallery being displayed
template means i need to write “template name:gallery-customlink.php” in code? or simply renaming the file name? Please dont mind, can u tel me……
ohhh ya i got it. thanq so much shauno.
