any news regarding this issue?

It’s already possible. Go to Users and select one of the users. Once you’re on that page you can add a custom field.

To add the info of that custom field in your email template use $args->your_data (see the api page on the mailpress website for more info).

I’m using the following in my portfolio:

<?php
function getItemPreview()
{
	global $wpdb, $post;
	$img_cat = $wpdb->get_row('SELECT * FROM '.$wpdb->nggallery.' WHERE gid = '. get_post_meta($post->ID, 'pf_nextgen_gallery', true) .' ORDER by gid DESC limit 0,1');
	$first_image = $wpdb->get_row('SELECT * FROM '. $wpdb->nggpictures .' WHERE exclude != 1 AND galleryid = '. get_post_meta($post->ID, 'pf_nextgen_gallery', true) .' ORDER by pid DESC limit 0,1');

 	$albumPreview = $wpdb->get_results('SELECT pid, filename FROM '.$wpdb->nggpictures.' WHERE pid = '.$img_cat->previewpic.'', OBJECT_K);

	$toppreview = get_option ('siteurl') . '/' . $img_cat->path . '/' . $first_image->filename;

	if ( $previewimg = $albumPreview[$img_cat->previewpic]->filename )
	{
		$toppreview = get_option ('siteurl').'/' . $img_cat->path . '/' . $previewimg;
		echo '<style type="text/css">#image { background-image:url('.$toppreview.')!important; }</style>';
	}
	else
	{
		echo '<style type="text/css">#image { background-image:url('.$toppreview.')!important; }</style>';
	}
}
?>

As you can see I add a custom field pf_nextgen_gallery that stores the ID of the gallery I want the preview of on that page/post. Ofcourse the output can be changed according to your wishes 🙂

Well, to be quite honest, I don’t want to use the year or id of the post/page in the permalink. Especially not in the beginning of it (that’s why I always use the one I mentioned before).
But hey, that’s just my opinion. Thanks for mentioning it though 🙂
