IF you are a newbie to NextGEN check a step by step tutorial page that the programmer Alex recommends: http://hqcode.com/next-gen-gallery/working-with-next-gen-gallery/

Hey tdanyo did you get your solution yet?

If you look at my hardware page you see the thumbnails link to an outside support page (outside URL)..

Um.. I’m using nextGen version 1.0.2 Let me know.

OKAY! you guys.. If you EVER changed any codes in the gallery.php or in any other .php files within the nextGEN plugin folder that affected your “imageURL”, “alttext”, OR “descriptions” then this would be the reason behind not seeing any descriptions.

Because when you add “alttext” to override the original image URL then you automatically are unable to affect the “description”. The discriptions only show if the thumbnail is linked to the original image and not some foreign URL.

And whatever you add to the “alttext” automatically becomes your thumbnail’s URL.

So I am left to wonder if any of you have made changes to the gallery.php file or if you have made any previous changes to any of your php files that pertain to thumbnail URL’s etc.

nextGEN Version: 1.0.2 for the Web2.0 (the latest as of Jan.09)

I have a visual and step by step tutorial for this:

Hm. .. for now I’m using the Shutter and have changed the Shutter’s CSS to zero pixels for the count and next/prev values

Where exactly is the navigation code located? I want to completely delete the option of navigation once the thumbnail has been clicked …

I’m using my gallery with the tags feature.. so anything tagged with the words PC are going to show up yet I have done this for two different images/galleries.. and the second gallery has the tag IMAC yet when I click on just the PC thumbnail I get the pagination feature that points me to my IMAC tagged gallery..

Is this another way to show all the images?

??

example: http://home.yourconame.com/nggallery/page-44/album-1/gallery-1/images/

I was able to do 1) with more than a 2 line description but I had the link be to the original sized image ..

I haven’t thought about linking the thumbnail to a URL..

Have you considered not using nextGEN for this? I can give you an example here…

I’m using HTML tables .. really not computer programming, you can copy and paste the code that I used:

<table border=”.5px” bgcolor=”orange”>
<tr>
<td>I’ve had this HP PC for over 5 years and have made about 3 different installations and several system recoveries.
</td>
<td bgcolor=”white”>
[caption id="" align="alignleft" width="137" caption="HP PC"]<img title=”HP PC” src=”http://home.yourconame.com/images/hp_pc.jpg&#8221; alt=”HP PC” width=”137″ height=”178″ />[/caption]
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>I’ve had this Apple for about 3 years and had to do a system recovery last month.</td>
<td bgcolor=”white”>
[caption id="" align="alignleft" width="180" caption="Apple iMAC"]<img title=”iMAC G5″ src=”http://images.apple.com/support/_images/hero_imacG5isight.jpg&#8221; alt=”Apple iMAC” width=”180″ height=”180″ />[/caption]</td>
</tr>
</table>

I’d accept a $100 donation too.. lol joking.
