Trying to run a custom NGG theme carousel as well and need captions too. Trying to load it is a custom field en so far now luck. What short tag are you using?
This code:
<?php /* NG Gallery Custom Field Rotating Images */
$gallery = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'gid', true);
$gal = $gallery;
$gal = apply_filters('the_content', '[gallery='.$gal.']' );
echo $gal;
?>
Works, but as soon as I add template=resort images=7 it starts showing two thumbnails of which one is my Featured Image.
[gallery=1 template=carousel] in the post text shows just two images of which one is my featured image as well. Maybe the template/theme interferes?
Have tried your code Rhand but no joy
using [nggallery id=1 template=carousel images=10]
but get nothing other than the main image as a slideshow
Still puzzled hoping someone can help
See short tag here: http://nextgen-gallery.com/templates/carousel/ . It should work running the latest NextGen Gallery and a short tag code like nggallery id=2 template=carousel images=7 ] should work. That is the one I use in my custom field as well. Only difference is that I use a custom template now. So my template is called differently.
Yes Rhand have tried that and all possible variations but getting nowhere. Probably need step by step idiot instructions, will keep at it. thanks
Well David, hope you work it out. Would reinstall plugin and try, check error logs and try different short tags to troubleshoot it all.
