Finding the album identifier for SmugMug gallery shortcode
-
In April 2020 I was using Zenfolio and asked about tips for optimising speed. Since then I’ve abandoned Zenfolio, gone back to flickr, and now I’m revisiting SmugMug.
I still find I’m happier with shortcodes and I’m fairly unadventurous with gallery formats. Once I’ve found something that works ok I’m inclined to stick with it. This makes shortcodes useful as they’re quick and portable.
I think I’m quite happy with something along the lines of:[gallery type='smugmug' view='album' album='jN27TX' nick_name='dougienisbet' sort_order='Ascending' sort_method='DateTaken' count='50' more='Show More Photos' layout='square']
although I’m playing with a couple of variations (test page).
I thought it would be obvious from a gallery URL what to use for the album=”WHATGOESINTHISBIT” part of the shortcode, but it looks like SmugMug obfuscates this. Is it possible to identify this easily? I’ve had a look at the galleries while logged in and looked at the sharing options but these work at the photo level and not the gallery level.It’s not a problem but being able to paste in a shortcode then just change the album=”” bit would’ve been very handy.
