From the developer
shauno's own description of NextGEN Custom Fields, lightly tidied.
This plugin was developed to add custom fields to the excellent and popular NextGEN Gallery plugin. Simply enter the name of your new field(s), select between “input”, “textarea” or “dropdown”, and the field(s) will be automatically added to the “Manage Gallery” screens in the NGG dashboard.
Please note, you do need to add a small tag to the NGG templates to get your custom fields showing in your theme, so please do read the FAQ.
Quick note on NextGEN Gallery version >= 3.5.0
This plugin has been working untouched for about 10 years as of the beginning of 2024. But an update to NextGEN Gallery >= 3.50 broke some functionality. Thankfully it was a small
fix to add support, so I have pushed version 1.2.5 with that support.
