Simplest way for retrieving data from NextGen is to use NextGEN Gallery Database Class stored in ngg-db.php file. Open that file and there are all functions and explanations for taking the data directly from the database.
Example:
$NextG = new nggdb();
// get all galleries
$NextG->find_all_galleries();
// get single gallery
$NextG->get_gallery( 2 );
Results are arrays, to examine them use print_r or print_r2:
function print_r2($val){
echo '<pre>';
print_r($val);
echo '</pre>';
}
That way you can take id or slug from all galleries and create custom url's like http://www.evokephotoandvideo.com/gallery/slug.
