This plugin is just as simple as it sounds. If you already use the fabulous plugin <a href="https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/nextgen-gallery/" rel="ugc">NextGEN Gallery</a> than the titleimage plugin gives you the ability to display the first image or a random image from a selected NexGEN Gallery. This selected image will be displayed with the php function call showTitleimage(), which can be used inside your templates. The best place would be inside the index.php file after the get_header(); call.
The following parameters are accessible on the Tools->Titleimage administration page:
<ul>
<li>State – Switches the display of the titleimage on or off.</li>
<li>Gallery – Selects the NGG Ressource-Gallery</li>
<li>Image selection – Selects the image that should be displayed from the given gallery. It is possible to select the first image, a random image or a specified image.</li>
<li>Imagesize – Defines the maximum Imagewidth and -height.</li>
<li>Image Link – An URL with which the image will be linked.</li>
<li>Image Link Attributes – Additional attributes for the image link to apply CSS classes for Javascript Lightbox Effects etc.</li>
<li>Image Subtitle – Enables the image subtitle in different options (Gallery description, Image description, Individual text, No subtitlte).</li>
<li>Subtitle Link – An URL with which the subtitle will be linked.</li>
<li>Style – Defines wether the default CSS or an individual CSS File should be used.</li>

This plugin was created to make easier the life of people that want to get pictures, images, photos from the web, rather than download your image on your computer and, then, upload it in your media library, you can paste the image url in the field and get it from the web straight in your media library. Afterword you can click to set the post thumbnail and you will find the aquired image in your media library, ready to be inserted in your post.
This plugin is a simple box, activate the plugin, follow the settings link, activate the option to see the new form in the post thumbnail metabox in the post edit page and it’s done!
I created this plugin mainly for me, when I was creating websites I incurred the need to quickly grab some of my photos from another website ands that was the reason of this idea, it is something like creating a tunnel from one site to another to transfer images.
