You can actually use it with existing galleries, just use [good-old gallery ARGS] but don’t include the id="" arg. Then the plugin will look for a gallery connected to the currently viewed post/page. Should work at least, haven’t tried it in the latest version.
Ahem…Linus….I said in my original post….I already know that I can use [good-old-gallery] without arguments to view wordpress galleries! Did you read my actual question in my post all the way through?
oh, sorry. you mean override the [gallery] shortcode? you can probably do that in your theme.
do something like:
$gog_shortcode = new GOG_Shortcode( new GOG_Settings() );
add_filter('post_gallery', array( $gog_shortcode, 'shortcode' ), 10, 2);
might need some tweaking…
Hi Linus, Thanks for the tip on coding.
I however don’t intend to do that cause I’m not a webstie developer. Besides, code changes to your plugin on our end will need merging if you were to update the plugin with a new version and even then there’s a chance of breakage.
Would you instead be able to add this as a feature that anyone can use via a CheckBox in configuration settings? You’ll get more usage of the plugin as people have many blog posts built up in archives, using standard wordpress galleries ([gallery] shortcode), and by clicking one checkbox the presentation can be enhanced.
I’d sure do not want to use custom shortcodes in my blog posts because that archive can build up and I want to keep it portable. Besides that, I anyway need an option to instantly enable a better gallery on my existing post in my blog archive.
