I'd really love to allow multiple galleries per page. I was thinking that I would accomplish this by visiting a category page which shows excerpts from posts. I put the [photosmash] code in the excerpt, but alas it did not parse. Is there a way for me to accomplish this? Thanks! Dan

Dan,
PhotoSmash supports multiple galleries per page. The trick is that you have to supply the gallery IDs if you're doing more than one in a post or a page...like:
[photosmash id=5]
[photosmash id=8]That would show galleries 5 and 8 right after each other.
I don't think that Excerpts do shortcodes, but hopefully you can just use the regular post/page to get your multiple galleries.
One thing that is coming to PhotoSmash Extend is to allow creating Gallery Viewer pages, which would give an index of your galleries, and clicking a gallery would show the selected gallery...but that's a bit down the road.
Hope that helps,

well, that's good and bad news. The goal was to allow different people to post "comments" and have galleries for their own comments. So imagine looking at a page full of comments and seeing different galleries in different comments. I understand your product is not intended for comments, so I was going to fake it by allowing the general public to create posts then view them as a list on a Category page, using the excerpt field to display the content of each post and its associated gallery. If excerpts don't parse shortcode then it sounds like I'm SOL, yes?

Well, quite by accident I figured out how to do this!
Since I'm new to WordPress I'm not always certain of ways that templates can be edited. I merely echo the_content() in category.php instead of excerpt, and it works like a charm!
It's not entirely finished, but you can see here:

Your comment gave me the nudge I needed to figure this out on my own. Thanks!

Dan,
Glad you got it worked out! You are correct...to show the full post in the category, you just need the template tag: the_content(); I don't think you need to use echo.The galleries are looking good!
Cheers,
Byron
