I wanna be able to call on the gallery ID from the custom field area
meaning i have a custom field called gallery, in there i write [gallery=74]

than in the loop i want to show the gallery specified by that id
the code i have right now is
<div class="actor_gallery"><?php $gallery = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'gallery', true); ?><?php echo $gallery ?></div>
but this gives me a simple text output ([gallery=74])
any ideas on how this can be done?

It outputs it literally because NextGen only looks into the post’s content.

This may work…
apply_filters(‘the_content’,

```
<?php $gallery = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'gallery', true); ?>
<?php
	$gal = '[gallery='.$gallery.']';
	$gal = apply_filters('the_content', $gal );
	echo $gal;
?>
```
My code for my site 😛

This is why the WordPress community is the best!!! BUMP BUMP BUMP. I struggled with this for two days now before I found this thread. Works perfect.

I wasn’t having the exact same problem, because i had found a way to call the slideshow, but the images in my slideshows were switching back and forth and it was really getting annoying. This fixed the call and prevents duplicates somehow too.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU
