# [Plugin: NextGEN Gallery] custom template

 * hi,
 * I’ve my custom template for galleries in the directory:
    myTheme/nggallery/gallery-
   myTemplate.php
 * and use it in the obvious way:
    [nggallery id=1 template=myTemplate]
 * I’d like to use myTemplate by default without specify it everytime I insert a
   gallery in a post.
    Otherwise if I replace myTemplate with gallery.php in the
   plugin folder… I’ll lose it every nggallery’ update.
 * Is there a way to set gallery-myTemplate by default without modify files inside
   the plugin folder?

 * Yes there is. Just create a myTheme/nggallery/gallery.php it will use that as
   the default template overriding the one in the plugin folder.
