Thank you for this!
It's not quite what I was looking for, I want it to pull all my images from a post (for the single.php page), but this is definitely helpful, maybe I can figure it out.. *crosses fingers*

Thanks ma'am, it still DOES work (3.0.1).

My next step though is multiple FCGs in one page. Googling seems to show that this is not possible at the moment.

It should. The site I originally set this up for, it's still working, and they're now running the latest version of WordPress. (3.0.1 as of this moment)

Gr8 Post!! Just what i was looking for… Though, somehow its driving me crazy maybe someone can help.

i followed all the steps above to get the galery into all my categories, astronomy, science, etc.. so i want to show just featured posts out of those categories. but somehow it displays still every featured post in every galery.

on the FCG options page i selected "use posts.." and "randomize.." and under post ids i got like 15 featured posts.

every single one of those posts has this custom field with id.

what is wrong here?

What settings do i ned in the FCG optionspage to make this working?

thanks for any help!

Ah! Got it. If I can figure it out – I will let you know… (but can't guarantee I'll have the time)

Thanks for the quick response. I'm not even into my second day with FCG, but the current version does allow for page IDs or a category ID, it's the first item to configure and the page ID's are just passed in like this: 16,23,46

The way we're using WordPress for our site, we can't easily use posts for this.

I could be wrong – but the featured gallery plugin makes use of a posts category to know what group of posts to pull in. Since pages don't get categories – it wouldn't work the same way. The plugin would need a complete re-rewrite in order to pull in a series of pages…

Great post! How would we do this for pages instead of categories?

Is it possible to create a custom field and pass in a variable number of pages?

Worked like a charm! Just the number of the category is all that's needed in the value field.

Nice job and thanks so much!
