[Plugin: NextGEN Gallery] One page per gallery?

    Is it necessary to create one page per gallery? Or is there some way to create a page that will display whichever gallery is selected via an album?

    When adding new photos, I’d want to select an album, create a new gallery, and then add the photos in it. Of course, then the idea is that people can view the photos.

    Based on FAQ #1 and the sample album, it looks like I’d have to add “extra” steps to also add a new post/page, and then set the “Page Link to” for the new gallery to that post/page. That post/page and the link would also then need to be maintained.

    Is this accurate?

    Is there any configuration or plugin that anyone’s aware of, which would allow me to eliminate those two steps that I’m calling “extra”? I think what I’m basically asking is: is there a way to display gallery content without having a one-page-per-gallery relationship?

    I’ve been searching for a few months with no luck, so I thought I’d ask here.

    I am not sure this is what you are looking for, but it is worth a guess.

    Under options -> gallery the first option called “Deactivate gallery page link” means that in an album the gallery will be viewed without having a specific page.

    Does that solve your problems?

    Thanks Kristian.

    That option was checked to start. Configured like this, the album link to the gallery has the same URL as the album, plus ?album=1&gallery=1 at the end. These are the correct IDs for the album and gallery. When I click on that link, the page re-displays, but neither the album nor the gallery displays.

    Unchecking the option, the link is just to the same exact URL. Clicking it gets right back to the Album.

    On my site the album links in the same way as you mention, but when I click on the links I actually get to see the galleries that it is supposed to show.

    Most likely the problem happens due to some combination of your installation, plugin, browser and so on. Do you have a link to your site, we can look at to see if someone can identify the problem.

    Sorry, it’s not a public site, so I don’t have a link to share.

    When I view source, the part that would normally contain the page content is empty. In NG Gallery’s gallery.php script, I added print and exit calls at EOF. This made it display the gallery, but none of the other page content.

    I’m not sure how that .php file is loaded. Any thoughts on a next step?

    You probably shouldn’t exit at that point, since that usually stops the processing of the rest of the site.

    And no, I don’t have any other good ideas. I need to get my hands dirty in order to look into this kind of problem.
