Any idea to use this "image slider" with images attached to post/pages
Use nivoslider with attached images in post / pages

The reason I added the post type to galleria was that I added a "Feature HTML" input field below the post editor, and then it will be easy just to drop in a shortcode in there with the current posts ID to display all it's images. The advantage with galleria is that it resizes the image well, so they can be in all different sizes but still look good. With the nivoslider all images must be the same size, because it's just looks awful if not, so that's why I did not implement this feature for it.
I guess I will add it, but then with timthumb zoomcrop, so that all images will be resized to fit the container.
You can use the nextgen gallery with nivoslider for now though. Works the same.

I don't get Galleria (for nextgen) to work in my posts? Do I need plugins to get it to work? I've tried galleria_wp but with no result.

yes you need the nextgen gallery plugin (no galleria plugin needed). Create a gallery and import images, use the name of the gallery in the shortcode. Captions can be added to the "Alt & Title Text" field and links to the description field.

I am allready using nextgen gallery, so I just copied and pasted the shortcode into my blog post, and changed the gallery ID (a single digit) but I only get a black square, no images. I've allso tried to use the gallery title but that yields nothing aswell.

name="title of the gallery". test with a new gallery with a no spaces in the name. It should work with spaces too, but just have to try different things to get it working then. Check the code produced (inspect with firebug), is the images fetched? Is it a javascript conflict? Email me a link and I can check it out.

I got it to show pictures by using the "name" given in the gallerys path, using the ID would be more intuitive. That said it does not show the images correctly, the resizeing is wrong compared to the example.

there is no timthumb resizing done on the images, galleria does it. with the parameter imagecrop="true" the images will fill the container though.
