Display WordPress' gallery in sidebar?
-
Is there a way to display a post’s [gallery] within the sidebar?
Widgets? Shortcode? Template tags?
All of the plugins I have looked at pull random images from various sources, but AFAIK, none just pull that post’s images. Am I wrong?

I should probably add that this is for a site revision that already has many, many images uploaded to display in the regular WordPress image gallery method, so using a plugin that requires you to re-upload images into the plugin is something we we need to avoid.
Anyone?
Try with Nextzen Gallery plugin
Thanks for the response, chinmoy, but as you can see from above, that is exactly what I don’t want to do. I don’t want to set up albums, galleries, etc. via a separate interface, not do I want to add custom fields on hundreds of posts.
I just want to pull the images already loaded in each posts’ (built-in) gallery, and display them in the sidebar — using template tags or a widget.
(If NextGen can do that, it would be news to me.)
Anyone else?
This is the code that I am running trying to get the WordPress gallery to show to the right of the main post area. Problems:
1. The incorrect gallery is showing.
2. The padding won’t get smaller.
3. I can’t get more than 3 thumbnails to display in a single line.I have tried this:
<div style=" position:relative; z-index:1000; display: inline; list-style-type: none; margin: 600px 0 0 340px; padding: 0;"> <?php echo do_shortcode('[gallery id=""]'); ?> </div>And I have tried this:
<div style=" position:relative; z-index:1000; display: inline; list-style-type: none; margin: 600px 0 0 340px; padding: 0;"> <?php echo do_shortcode('[gallery id="'.get_the_ID().'"]'); ?> </div>Neither works. Help?
