Hi created a gallery group and uploaded my photos. The thing is I want certain photos in my weblogs. So I created 3 custom weblog fields so I could pick and choose what photo goes where. I go to the weblog and choose the photos I want, my custom weblog fiels are as follows sportphoto1, sportphoto2, sportphoto3. When I go to edit the template and place {sportphoto1} {sportphoto2} {sportphoto3} between the weblog tag I get this output.

2 3 4

that’s it, that is all I get, the photos are there in the gallery directory and I believe I did everything correct. Am I missing something?

The custom field name tag gives photo id.

Assuming you are using related entries-gallery, then the code to have the images is:
docs related entries - gallery part way down.

{related_entries id="gallery"}
   <img src="{image_url}" width="{width}" height="{height}" 
alt="{title}" title="{title}" />
   <h3>{title}</h3>
   {caption}
{/related_entries} 

id=“field_name”
For thumb:

<img src="{thumb_url}" width="{thumb_width}" 
height="{thumb_height}" alt="{title}"/> 

Can also add link to full size img as wanted.

I have another related question to this.

I adjusted the image resize in pref. to 65 x 65 but when the thumbnail shows it’s showing at 75 x 75, no matter number I put in prefs. it still comes out 75 x 75? Is this a bug?
