adding gallery to page

[mvlcek]

Hello:
What I would like to do is define the gallery in the actual custom field in the page and have the template look for this and display what ever gallery name I define in the page.

If I understand you correctly, you should use a custom (text) field galleryname and then add the following code to your template:

Code:

<div><?php gallery(return_custom_field('galleryname')); ?></div>
