OK, thanks. I see what you mean, but as I was using the gallery shortcode to display a gallery rather than a single image that doesn’t achieve my objective. But heyho, it was worth a try.

Thanks for your efforts to help me. I am now using the Fancy Image Gallery in WP Lightbox – it’s slow to code and to sort the tumbnails, but it looks nice. That’s fine for my current site, although it’s a shame it doesn’t meet my grand objectives for a new project that I had in mind.

Sorry it has taken so long to respond, I hadn’t noticed that your response was on page 2.

Thanks again.

Then where do I put the embed code, say from YouTube?

I tried putting the following in the description box in the gallery, but I have no idea if that’s the right place or the right format. Does that look right, and am I putting it in the right place? If so, that doesn’t work for me.

(the string above has < and > surrounding it in reality, but it cannot be pasted like that in the post)

Thanks

I’m not too choosy;-) Either from external sites such as Vimeo or YouTube, or my own videos on my own server, which can be .mp4 or any other format. Video is my business, so I can put it out in virtually any format or from any source.

So if there is any way to do it at all, then I’m sure that I can match the video & hosting to suit the system.

At the moment I am using WP Lightbox Ultimate to play my videos, and am coding the thumbnails as described in your documentation, but management of the thumbnails would just be so much easier if I could link NextGen and WP Lightbox (especially for a gallery display). I was previously using NextGen Gallery with an extension (ngg video extend) that enabled video to play in a Shadowbox lightbox, it was the perfect solution … until I discovered it didn’t work in Internet Explorer and the extension is no longer supported.

Thanks

Sorry, that this is adding to an old post, but I wondered whether David or anyone else had instructions on how to (if it is even possible), launch a video in WP Lightbox Ultimate, from a thumbnail image in a NextGen Gallery.

That is my dream goal at the moment, but I’m getting way too confused.

I would need to know what the JS Thumbnail effect code should be, plus any code or shortcode that needs to go on the gallery entry and any code or shortcode that goes in the page or post … basically everything.

Many thanks

Kate
