That is just what I needed. I did not know about do_shortcode .. that is very handy! "magic fields" is actually the name of a plugin, they are similar to custom fields but I guess not necessary if I do it like this. Thanks! </p> http://smashly.net/community/topic/putting-the-short-code-into-a-custom-field#post-1225 Tue, 20 Apr 2010 03:28:53 +0000 byron 1225@http://smashly.net/community/ <p>Thanks, Zac! I appreciate the comment!</p> <p>If by "magic" fields you mean you can feed it some PHP and it will execute, then you're in business. I have no experience with magic fields, and very little with custom fields.</p> <p>The PHP you'd need would looks something like:</p> <p>&lt;?php echo do_shortcode("[photosmash]"); ?&gt;</p> <p>That will display the gallery that is linked to the current post in the Loop.</p> <p>If you know the Gallery ID (say you had a variable like $customfield['gallery_id'] ), then you could:</p> <p>&lt;?php echo do_shortcode("[photosmash id=" . $customfield['gallery_id'] . "]"); ?&gt;</p> <p>I don't know what variable you would have for the custom field. But that's the basic format for displaying the gallery.</p> <p>Hopefully that gets you started. Let me know if you've got other questions on it.</p> <p>BB </p> http://smashly.net/community/topic/putting-the-short-code-into-a-custom-field#post-1219 Mon, 19 Apr 2010 07:53:59 +0000 zac 1219@http://smashly.net/community/ <p>Hi, I am hoping to work this into the template I am building but as far as I can tell you can only call a gallery using the shortcode in the html editor. The way my template is, it is all broken up with a bunch of custom fields (actually "magic" fields) displaying different bits in their own little frame. To work with this layout I would need to keep Photosmash separate from the main post content. Is there a way to call the gallery id in another way than the shortcode in the main HTML editor?</p> <p>Thanks for all of your work on this Byron. It is really one of the best plugins out there :) </p>
