Gallery shortcode : unique ID

  • Hi,

    I’ve read the documentation about the gallery shortcode.

    The id of this shortcode is a composition of images ids.

    What I need is to store my gallery object somewhere, to include the same gallery in two differents posts.

    Example:
    My gallery includes images 001 and 002, so the object will be:
    – id=”1″
    – images=”001, 002″

    And then include the shortcode in my posts:

    Post 1:

    TEXT TEXT TEXT
    [gallery id="1"]
    TEXT TEXT TEXT

    Post 2:

    TEXT TEXT TEXT
    [gallery id="1"]
    TEXT TEXT TEXT

    Doing that, if I update the images ids list of the gallery, I don’t need to maintain the posts one by one. I only need to update the gallery once.

    Thank you,

    Jean

    You would be better off using one of the many gallery plugins that work that way rather than the WordPress gallery feature. There are a number of them that I’ve used and I use different ones for different projects because none of them do everything.

    Best thing to do is install a few and try them out.

    Thank you Matt.

    I’ve seen many gallery plugins, and there are probably some that do the job. The thing is the WordPress gallery feature makes what I need. I don’t really need more and I prefer to reduce the number of plugins I use.

    I don’t need more…except that ID stuff. :/

    I just want to know if there is a solution to my problem, without any extra plugin. If not, I will may use one of the gallery plugins.
