 * Hey again, I tried my hand at building custom post types which is simple, but
   I am still having issues understanding how to create a gallery.
 * The layout is like this:
    Album page/list all galleries
 * – add new gallery
    – gallery page
 * — gallery title
 * — +add new image
    — upload image — name of image — set link to bigger image or
   webpage
 * — add settings to control entire gallery
    — All available JavaScript objects
 * — shortcode section for each gallery
    — copy and paste shortcode — copy and paste
   hard PHP shortcode
 * — save gallery page
 * The best I could do is get this set up like a normal custom post type but I do
   not understand what is needed to change the editor out for a customized core 
   feature for uploading images into a gallery block.
 * Any help would be great thanks.

 * I dont think I understand what you are trying to achieve, but how about customizing[
   gallery] shortcode for your needs?
 * This tutorial shows how and that is easier than building gallery feature from
   scratch.
