 * are your permalinks set in general wp settings options?
    not sure that hads anything
   to do with, but my nextgen links are fine…

 * Hi Gordon,
 * it’s a known ‘problem’ that the url’s don’t look as nice as it should. And at
   this time no solution is available. The biggest problem is that NextGen uses 
   it’s own router class (/lib/rewrite.php), which is required to show multiple 
   pages within a plugin. This means that (no matter what) the base URL of the plugin
   is /nggallery/ and then a bunch of ugly stuff (from “/page-X/” to “/post/X/album-
   X/gallery-X/page-X/slideshow/”).
 * At this moment I’m working on a new router class which fixes most problems (eg
   use the page/category/post name as base url) and let it use the same (permalink)
   settings as the WordPress installation itself, though it’s more complex as it
   looks.
 * When as working version is ready I’ll contact the NextGen developer(s) and post
   the fixes at these forums and maybe it will be included in one of the next versions.
 * Though, if you’re a skilled PHP programmer and find a solution yourself, I’ll
   be happy to use the fix 😉

 * Here’s one of the scripts I build for the new router:
 *     ```
       $id = get_the_ID();
       if(is_page($id)) {
       	$post = &get_page($id);
       } else {
       	$post = &get_post($id);
       }
       if($post->post_parent){
       	$ancestors = get_post_ancestors($post->ID);
       	foreach($ancestors as $ancestor) {
       		if($ancestor->ID == $id) continue;
       		$ancestor = &get_post($ancestor->ID);
       		$slug .= $ancestor->post_name.'/';
       	}
       }
       $slug .= $post->post_name . '/';
       $url = get_option('home') . '/' . $slug;
       ```
   
 * What does it do?
    It fixes the problem where the gallery on a page ALWAYS uses
   the page_id, while in a post it can use page_name.
 * Please note: you can’t use this snippet yet, since it requires more code to be
   altered (like the rewrite rules). Although it will give you an idea of some ‘
   new features’ I’m building 😉

 * Using the built-in paging convention works for my needs. I just changed the pagination
   code to add /X. See if this is to your taste and I can share how I did it.

 * I’ve ajax’d the pagination too so although the above url will work with a /X 
   for a specific page, paging through the gallery won’t change the URL in the browser’s
   address bar.
