 * Which URL? I depends on if there is an API which you can hook into. From my knowledge
   it is not something you would be able to do ‘out-of-the-box’. It would require
   you to make some php script that fetched the images. If you want to display the
   pictures from an external site on your own, then I dont quite understand why 
   you want NGG to play a part in that?
 * Check ngg-db.php line 612.
 * function add_image( $id = false, $filename = false, $description = ”, $alttext
   = ”, $meta_data = false, $post_id = 0, $imagedate = ‘0000-00-00 00:00:00’, $exclude
   = 0, $sortorder = 0 )
 * This is how you in PHP can add images to the ngg database.

 * Hi moryde, thanks for reply, and sorry foro my english.
 * The url, contain photographs, not to have copyright issues do not want to load
   them locally, but display a gallery with a post.
 * I thought there was a way, but I see that wordpress does not natively allows 
   you to create photo galleries from street url.
 * Put his hand to php is not my job, so I renounce feasibility.
 * Thanks again for your reply.
 * bye

 * You are most welcome.
 * I just want to make sure that fetching all the URLs of the images might not be
   that hard actually. I have not tested it, but it seems like this piece of php
   could do the job of getting the URLs.
