Steve — you’ll be receiving an email shortly

Arturo — I finally managed to download the file you provided. Thank you for the fixes. I’ll be incorporating the Flash fix in particular into the next release. Please let me know whether and how you’d like to be credited.

Yes, email would be perfect. I am guessing you have my address in your admin.

Thanks again!

Steve: I’ll have to look back into the code to see what would be involved in putting together a theme admin version. May I email you an estimate in the next few days?

@Noemi – I just read through all the code, and I can indeed see that nkmimagefield is completely dependent upon being in a page or post.

Can I ask what you would charge to build a custom version that I could use within a theme admin, and what a timeframe for such a project would be?

I’ve got to imagine that there has to be a way to call the gallery outside of a page/post. The only ‘issue’ I see, is obviously the saved data can’t be attached to a post meta table. Would probably work just as well using a table array within the theme itself to save the output?

thank you

Arturo — thank you for the update, but I am unable to download it to review the code or test it out. Is there somewhere other than rapidshare that you might be able to host the file?

Bo, thank you for the idea. I’m a big fan of nextgen-gallery, so I’ll consider that for future development.

Steve, there is probably a way to accomplish that, but this plugin specifically associates an image with a post or page. It does not have an interface for selecting an image outside a post/page context.

Is it possible to use this plugin functionality within my theme admin page instead of an article or website page?

I was thinking of using this plugin within the theme admin to allow my users to select a page background image from the gallery instead of the classic way of having to upload an image directly, or pasting in the image code like most themes do.

If you later on adds possibility of using the NextGen-Gallery it will be perfect for my needs.

Yes actually this plugin is great. However need some fixes. Most with the flash, and some cosmetics changes.

This works on WP 2.8.6 (Didn’t try in WPMU)
Here is the fixed plugin:
