@nppbc – Have you tried to do this yet? If yes, what methods did you attempt?
Also, are you referring to albums as a collection of galleries (which in turn are a collection of images)?
Thanks!

Tried to do what? I’ve tried this:
[ngg_images gallery_ids="4" display_type="photocrati-nextgen_basic_tagcloud"]
and
<img class="ngg_displayed_gallery mceItem" src="http://www.katiespix.com/family/nextgen-attach_to_post/preview/id--2740" alt="" />
Both do the same thing, pull ALL tags from ALL images. I only want them to pull the tags from for each respectable album.
I am a little confused as what the main difference is between an alum and gallery is. I’ve read what they are on the site so I’m pretty sure I understand the differences. I might be completely off though.
Here is my site pointing to an album:
http://www.katiespix.com/family/photo-album/best-family/
Here is the same site pointing to the tags that I only want from that album above:
http://www.katiespix.com/family/photo-album/best-family/best-tags/
You’ll notice one of the tags, “Harold”. Harold should not be listed because it is in a different album, Beaty not Best.
This link is where both of the links above are on one page:

@nppbc – The shortcode you are sharing does not have a parameter stating what tags you want to display … that particular shortcode does not use the gallery_ids parameter to create its image “pool” to be displayed.
Try changing the gallery_ids="4" to source=tags, and then add tag_ids=best
The other <img> tag you shared is a “placeholder” and does not represent anything outside of your site and its NextGEN Gallery installation, I cannot tell what you have selected for the option in the IGW.
http://www.katiespix.com/family/photo-album/best-family/ … this is a gallery being displayed; think of albums as gallery containers and galleries as image containers.
Thanks!

Didn’t work. It only pulls one tag, Best.
[ngg_images source=tags tag_ids=best display_type="photocrati-nextgen_basic_tagcloud"]
For the other “link” I gave you: <img class="ngg_displayed_gallery mceItem" src="http://www.katiespix.com/family/nextgen-attach_to_post/preview/id--2740" alt="" />
That is by using the Visual Editor option and selecting Tag Cloud.
@nppbc – The shortcode, from your description, is doing exactly what it is supposed to be doing. If you want multiple tags you would note them in the tag_ids parameter … these will be treated as a logical OR setting.
As to the IGW placeholder <img> tag, what tags are you choosing from the source accordion panel? It will behave in much the same manner.
Thanks!

So in other words, there is still no way for it to automatically post the tags from an individual album/gallery?
Seems as if there should be a way to do that.
@nppbc – You are welcome to share your thoughts and ideas on what you would like to see as a Feature Request here: http://nextgen-gallery.com/feature-voting/
We do realize there are a great many possibilities that tags can be used for and this may be one that others are looking to see as well.
Thanks!
