    Hi, Jacob,
    Sorry to trouble you so soon after the last time.

    Is it (already, or can it be made) possible to define a shortcode within a page which can select a specific album(s) but only display photos with a certain identifier – I suppose ut would be a tag.

    The reason is that I want one set of pages that show the best of pictures from imdividual photo trips and a set of blog posts that show these and perhaps less exciting pictures from the same trip. Although I could do this by creating separate albums for the two scenarios and combining them for the blog posts, or else by specifying the individual images in the shortcode, it would be much easier for maintenance if One could add a tag to the best images in album maintenance and then select by this tag the specific the album(s) in the shortcode…

    Maybe it’s already possible, or maybe it’s not a worthwhile additon, but I thought it was worth asking the question.

    Thanks

    Tony

    You can set the status of the best pictures to ‘featured’ on the edit photo information screen and use shortcode:

    [wppa type="..." album="#featen,7,100"][/wppa]

    for max 100 photos from album 7 with status featured.
    See:https://wppa.opajaap.nl/shortcode-reference/ :

    #featen[,n][,m] A virtual album containing a random choice of featured photos. May optionally include albumnumber (n, 0 for systemwide) and number of photos(m) if not the default as defined in the Settings admin page.

    Note1: The album number given is a parent album number. Its photos that have status featured as well as the featured photos of its possible child albums will be in the selection.

    Note2: You may supply an album enumeration like 2.6 for album 2 and 6 or 3..7 for albums 3 up to 7 incl.

    E.g:

    [wppa type="thumbs" album="#featen,2..5,100"][/wppa]

    displays max 100 thumbnails of featured photos inside the albums 2,3,4,5 and all their sub ( -sub ) albums.
