Maybe someone will correct me, but I believe your answer is no. The reason I say no is because NextGen creates additional folders that contain your gallery images. It might be possible to tweak the settings to force it to use the current images location, but that would cause issues down the road if you … Read more
I think you’re just trying to get a featured post slider. If this is the case, you could go with a much more robust and expandable option like Nivo slider. You’d have to code it into your theme yourself to get your desired result (shows recent posts automatically), but it’s definitely possible.
I finally did it with jquery. I replaced all the image thumbs of the gallery with the link text and remove the text for all links except the first: $(“.ngg-galleryoverview”).each(function(index) { $(this).find(“.ngg-gallery-thumbnail-box .ngg-gallery-thumbnail a”).html(‘View photos <span>»</span>’); $(this).find(“.ngg-gallery-thumbnail-box .ngg-gallery-thumbnail a”).addClass(‘small’); $(this).find(“.ngg-gallery-thumbnail-box:gt(0) .ngg-gallery-thumbnail a”).html(”); }); With this script i can use the shortcode normally, just [nggallery id=1] … Read more

If you look at the nextgen gallery slideshow widget you will find the option “select gallery” => “all images”.
The easiest way is to create your own gallery template that has a form for each image (or perhaps a checkbox for each image, inside a form) and some handler code that takes the form submission and sends the emails. I’d do that as a plugin that hooks into the ‘ngg_render_template’ filter to load its … Read more
There are several things you could do to achieve what you want. You could: create a new gallery with just the landscape images and include this new gallery into the sidebar; try different thumbnail settings in the NGG options (ignore aspect ratio or not, set height and width to the same value and thus show … Read more
NextGen uploads your images basically as Attachment Post types. This means that the tags themselves are stored in the wp_terms table
