Galleria Gallery Example

Using Galleria Slideshow Shortcode

In this case, the Nextgen Gallery plugin is used only as the gallery and images content manager, but it still needs to be activated. Nextgen galleries may also be used as normal.

The galleria_slideshow shortcode is a php script that I wrote, and defined as a shortcode using the “Shortcode Exec PHP” plugin. The html and javascript code it generates is equivalent to that used in any other Galleria project, including the Ultimate IDX property details page on my showcase website, and also in the “Featured Listings” area of that site.

Due to issues with the Galleria code not being able to differentiate between multiple slideshows on the same page, only one galleria_slideshow shortcode can be on a page.

Custom fields used:

  • featured = Y (Causes Galleria css and js to be loaded by special code in header.php.)
  • galleria_path = foldername (name of any Nextgen Gallery folder containing images only)
