I finally got it working!!!

It seems that instead of the “sort_order” parameter you have to use the “sortorder” one, and besides that, I also found that with the ids=”270″, the plugin is including all the images within that gallery id, and then you have to exclude the images you don’t want to show.

Just if anyone else at some time has the same problem, the working shortcode structure is…

[ngg src="galleries" ids="270" sortorder="4045,4050,4047,4040" exclude="4041,4042,4043,4044,4046,4048,4049" display="basic_thumbnail"]

Tried your shortcode, but the order is not respected, and it is showing all the images within the gallery id 270.

I’ve submitted a bug report. Hope we can find the issue.

Thanks

After reviewing extensevely the documentation, I have also tried the most modern shortcode structure …

[ngg src="galleries" ids="270" entity_ids="4045,4050,4047,4040" display="basic_thumbnail"]

… but without success. The images are not sorted acording to the specified order.

Hi Imagely,

Many thanks for your support!. Unfortunately, either I dind’t understand correctly your instructions, or if I did, it didn’t work out.

To me, there is a misalignment between your explanation and the shortcode you worte. Anyway, I tried the shortcode construction you suggested …

[ngg_images ids="270" image_ids="4050,4047,4040,4041" sort_order="photocrati-nextgen_basic_thumbnails"]

…but resulted in a message “We cannot display this gallery”

Then I also tried the shortcode I can deduce from yoru explanation, resulting in the following shortcode…

[ngg_images ids="270" sort_order="4050,4047,4040,4041" display_type="photocrati-nextgen_basic_thumbnails"]

… this also resulted in a “We cannot diplay this gallery” message.

And finally I also tried…

[ngg_images ids="270" image_ids="4050,4047,4040,4041" sort_order="4050,4047,4040,4041" display_type="photocrati-nextgen_basic_thumbnails"]

… wìth this shortcode I’m able to show the images selected, but they are not ordered in the provided order set on the “sort_order” parameter.

Could you please elaborate further your comment regarding the either old or deprecated parameters? After lookign at the documentation, I cannot locate which is the parameter that is old or deprecated from my initial shortcode…

[ngg_images image_ids=”4050,4047,4040,4041″ display_type=”photocrati-nextgen_basic_thumbnails”]

Many thanks for your help!

Thanks for the response.

I had already set the “NextGen Gallery -> Other Options -> Image Options” sorting method to “Custom” but it’s not respecting the order i’m providing with the image_ids.

I wrongly wrote in the example in my previous message the “sort_order” in the shortcode, but in reallity what i generate is “display_type”. The correct shortcode I’m generating is…

[ngg_images image_ids=”4050,4047,4040,4041″ display_type=”photocrati-nextgen_basic_thumbnails”]
