Include nextgen-gallery without shortcodes

Hi,

I want to add a nextgen Gallery and slideshow without the use of the shortcodes like [slideshow id=51] or something like that.

I thought of including it via php, something like <?php show slideshowID=51 ?>

Hay anyone experience with that and know how the code will be?

My idea behind that, I want to include a specific gallery and slideshow in a post via custom fields. I know, there are ways to use shortcodes in custom fields. But I’m using the headway theme, here are several automations and it seems this doesn’t work with headway. So I thought of using php to show up the galleries and slideshow.
