Versions before 0.95 have serious security vulnerabilities for sites with the PHP setting register_globals turned on. This is a rare configuration in hosted systems, but you should upgrade to 0.95 immediately.
This plugin is no longer being maintained by its authors. The nucleus development team will occasionally perform security fixes when made aware, but no feature/function enhancements are planned. It is effectively being deprecated.
A Nucleus-native image gallery.

The first step is to download the .zip pack from sircambridge's site. Unzip everthing and upload it to your /nucleus/plugins/ directory.
Next, install the plugin in the normal fashion through your Nucleus admin area.
Create a directory called /upload/ in your root directory (where you installed Nucleus). This will be used for mass uploading pictures.
Go to your Nucleus admin area again. Click on “Skins”. Scroll down to the skin you're currently using for your site (e.g. default) and click “Clone” (it's next to “Edit”).
You should now have a skin called “cloneddefault” in your list of existing skins. Click on the “Main Index” link for this skin to edit the Main Index skin part.
Delete everything content related in cloneddefault (e.g. <%blog%> vars, etc), but leave things like <%parsedinclude(header.inc)%> and <%parsedinclude(footer.inc)%> so your gallery page will look like the rest of your site. Unless you want it to look completely different of course.
Put the single var <%gallery%> in your skin where <%blog%> used to be. Update the skin to save your changes.
Repeat step 6 for every other skin part (Item, Member, Archive, Search, etc), but completely remove all code to completely delete them. You won't need them for NP_Gallery. Save your changes.
By now you should have a skin called cloneddefault with only the Main Index skin part. Click on “Edit” to rename the skin to NPGallery.
Now you need to insert a link to your gallery from your main skin. Put the following code somewhere to create a link to your gallery:
<a href="<%gallery(link)%>">Gallery</a>
That's pretty much all there is. From there, it's customizing Gallery to look exactly how you want which is another story in itself.
INSTALLATION :
1. just unzip into nucleus/plugins and install from the plugin page, goto plugins>NP_Gallery>admin>configure to configure the gallery, and 'edit options' to enable options.
