Excluding images from galleries via shortcode

Hmm, not 100% sure, but it seems like a bug in wp-Typography plugin.

As the author of wp-Typography, I don’t see how that is possible: Either wp-Typography’s content filter runs before NGG’s, then the shortcode will be messed up by the wp-Typography filter and not parsed by NGG, or it runs after, then it can’t interfere with NGG.

Am I missing something?

Sorry for crossposting.
I noticed two things after starting this thread:

1. After I deactivated and then reactivated wp-Typography once, NextGen’s popup window for inserting a new gallery into the post did work all of a sudden. The HTML code that it generates even works. But how can deactivation and reactivation of a plugin fix such things?
2. The NGG shortcode still does not work. The shortcode is displayed as is, with wp-Typography having the quotation marks replaced by typographic quotation marks – I guess that’s why NextGen cannot process the shortcode anymore.

So this seems to be a quite complex bug and I’m not sure how to reproduce it, given that the system healed itself.

My question to photocrati is: Can you confirm that this shortcode is actually correct? I mean, does it contain any illegal attributes?
[nggallery images_per_page="4" number_of_columns="4" exclusions="1,2" id=253]

I’m asking this, because accoring to the sourcecode wp-Typography filters actually should be run after NGG filters. But if it runs after NGG, how can it replace quotation marks within a NGG shortcode? Shouldn’t the shortcode already be replaced by HTML code at this time?

@tiku – You might look at using a current NextGEN Gallery shortcode versus the NextGEN Legacy version you are trying to work with … for example:

[ngg_images gallery_ids=1 display_type=photocrati-nextgen_basic_thumbnails images_per_page=4 number_of_columns=4 exclusions="1,2"]

Also to note, with your example you are excluding images with ID 1 and 2 … if they are not in gallery ID 253 then obviously they will not be excluded, the example I provided above works and is based on one of my test galleries.

Thanks!

PS: I have not tested in conjunction with wp-Typography to see if there are any related issues as the above seems to discount that as a possible problem.

Ah, I wasn’t aware that there are new shortcodes. I’ll try on sunday. I’m away for a couple of days. Thanks a lot.

@tiku – Most of the NextGEN Legacy style shortcodes still work but we recommend the new (version 2.0+) version of the NextGEN Gallery shortcodes to be more forward compatible.

Thanks!

Your newer shortcode works, thanks.

@tiku – Thanks for the update!
