 * Hi,
 * I’m trying to call the amount of images from within a post, and I am using nextgen
   gallery within that post.
 * This is what I have so far, but it doesn’t seem to be working.
 * <?php global $wpdb;
 * $images = intval( $wpdb->get_var(“SELECT COUNT(*) FROM $wpdb->nggpictures WHERE
   post_id = $post->ID”) );
    ?>
 * I have code working which can tell me total images on the site, how many galleries
   and how many albums, but I cannot get this working.
 * Thanks in advance.
 * cheers
 * Sam
