NextGEN Recent galleries link - jig_ng_pure_request_uri_for_recent_galleries - Justified Image Grid

This is the jig_ng_pure_request_uri_for_recent_galleries filter for developers.

A very tiny addition to your site, but it could have a nice impact. It lets you redirect the NextGEN Recent galleries feature's links (on the thumbnails) to a central page where you already show your albums or galleries, /albums/ - instead of adding the /nggallery/... parts to any page the original JIG happens to be on. This makes the Recent galleries feature usable in sidebar or footer without "straight to lightbox" mode.

add_filter('jig_ng_pure_request_uri_for_recent_galleries', 'change_request_uri_for_recent_galleries');
function change_request_uri_for_recent_galleries($uri){
    return '/photos/';
}

add_filter('jig_ng_pure_request_uri_for_recent_galleries', 'change_request_uri_for_recent_galleries');

function change_request_uri_for_recent_galleries($uri){

return '/photos/';

}

The way you use it is really simple. Just return the path to the page you normally use for your albums and galleries. It needs to have a JIG in a primary, above the fold position on the page in question. Leading and trailing slashes are mandatory. Do not specify your host/domain.

The name - request URI - comes from PHP $_SERVER variables.

You receive the original $uri, which is very similar to what you'd return but it could be any page your Recent galleries JIG appears on. You'd get /contact/ or similar from a contact form. As you see, this information is not too important.
