   Hey,

   I got the NextGen Gallery for my website. I wanted to put the slideshow into the template design code but I put [ slideshow id=x w=width h=height ] into the templates design code but the slideshow didn't show up. What can I do to have the slideshow work???

   G'day Mr.bestcssdesigns,

   The reason your code won't work within the template files is because it's a short code (Wordpress fishes through your post text to try and find these, then executes it accordingly). Inserting a short code straight into your PHP files is the same as inserting plain text.

   If there isn't an alternative to using the short code, you can use it within a php hook (do_shortcode), depending on what version of WP you're using.

   <?php echo do_shortcode('[slideshow id=x w=width h=height]'); ?>

   Hope this helps. I just used this on a project I'm working on and it worked fine, so if it doesn't work for you, check that you have the latest versions of NextGen and WP installed.

   Jiahadye, thank you for this info, however I was wondering how do you populate the id for the slideshow from the post id? With a MySQL SELECT clause?

   Please, the option "show the next image when click" is not working with this code:

   <?php echo do_shortcode('[slideshow id=x w=width h=height]'); ?>

   All the other options function all right...
   Someone here can help-me?

   Thanks!!!
