First off, my question is really similar to a question posted here, with the difference being I am using wordpess and the nextgen gallery plugin to manage my images, which writes images thumbnail images as such:

mygallery/image1.jpg
mygallery/image2.jpg
etc...

and thumbnails like this:

mygallery/thumbs/thumbs_image1.jpg
mygallery/thumbs/thumbs_image2.jpg
etc...

so what I am looking to do is set the source of the thumbnail. Here's my code:

<script type="text/javascript">

$('#slideshow').after('').cycle({fx:'fade',speed:'slow',timeout: 0,pager: '#nav',

// callback fn that creates a thumbnail to use as pager anchor 
pagerAnchorBuilder: function(idx, slide) { 
    return '<li><a href="#"><img src="' + slide.src + '" width="50" height="50" /></a></li>'; });

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Looks like this is being worked on for the next version of NextGEN So I may just wait. Depending on your skill you could make a custom template.

See: http://code.google.com/p/nextgen-gallery/issues/detail?id=294

Also, if you want to try to dig into the code check out this http://nextgen-gallery.com/templates/galleryview/ Didn't look to hard to customize I just don't have the time or need right now especially if it's going to be added soon.

yeah thanks, i see that... this is a custom template that i am making. it's isolating the source of the thumbnails that is required for it to work.

Depending on what you're doing you may be better off using a custom field type plugin.

what i am doing its pretty clear. i am looking to set the source of the thumbnails, and given the example linked, the best method would be using javascript. anyone?
