In your original example of how to render your own gallery you left out how to input your own HTML markup – thats the part Im hung up on at the moment

You need to put all the HTML code into a PHP string, and then just return the string.

Are you familiar with PHP? You will need some of that to get the syntax right and to put in the proper image variables at the right place.

For a simple example, check out shiba-native.php or shiba-navlist.php in the Shiba Gallery plugin.

The [gallery] syntax is a shortcode, so it may also be useful to check out the shortcode API on the WP codex-

Good luck!

Your plugin looks great but it doesnt suite my needs for my project unfortunately so I need to build my own…that said, Im still learning how to hijack WordPress’ native gallery and render my own so a more detailed example of how that can be done is what Im looking for.

If you dont have the time to script something like that out I fully understand and I appreciate the time youve already offered me…If you even might have some good links for me to reference to help grasp this topic that would be a huge help as well!

Best,

There is example code at the end to change gallery type based on post or page.

Just one question:
Is it possible to have “multiple” formatting versions with this method?
ie. Pages display galleries as only medium sized thumbnails, while posts maybe have something like a series of smaller thumbs that act as pagination to for one larger image that changes such as your example????

Thanks
