Title: Additional shortcode options Last modified: October 19, 2024 --- # Additional shortcode options * Resolved [back2music](https://wordpress.org/support/users/back2music/) * (@back2music) * [1 year, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/additional-shortcode-options/) * I’d like to know is there a way to tell Photonic WP gallery via shortcode: 1 – Minimum Tile height value for Random Justified and Mosaic Gallery2 – Forse Random and Mosaic galleries to load full sized pictures (native WP gallery option size =full has no effect in Photonick shortcode) * Thank you in advance!

The setting will apply to all your galleries that have this layout. It is currently not possible to control this for individual galleries. * You cannot do #1 for Mosaic galleries, because mosaics behave differently. There is, however, a different option for Mosaics, _Photonic → Settings → Layouts → Mosaic Layout – Trigger width_, using which you can control when the mosaic layout should get triggered. This avoids showing tiny images for narrow layouts. * For #2, do you mean you want to show full sized images in the main layout, scaled to fit? For that you need the `tile_size` attribute. The Photonic wizard shows you this option. * Thread Starter [back2music](https://wordpress.org/support/users/back2music/) * (@back2music) * [1 year, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/additional-shortcode-options/#post-18083398) * Thank you for your lightning fast reply! #1 – are you planning to add the Mosaic Trigger width and Random Tile height options for individual gallery shortcode?# 2 – tile_size option works perfectly, thanks! * Plugin Author [Sayontan Sinha](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sayontan/) * (@sayontan) * [1 year, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/additional-shortcode-options/#post-18083632) * > #1 – are you planning to add the Mosaic Trigger width and Random Tile height > options for individual gallery shortcode? * It is a possibility, but given that users generally prefer a level of consistency for all their galleries, I have left the feature as it is for several years now( this feature was introduced in 2016). I might add it in the future, but it isn’t high on my to-do list for now. * Thread Starter [back2music](https://wordpress.org/support/users/back2music/) * (@back2music) * [1 year, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/additional-shortcode-options/#post-18084332) * I understand, no problem, thanks! * Another question, if you don’t mind. I print a gallery directly from a page-id- template like so: `` and everything goes fine, but as soon as I change it to``I get a blank area instead of the page content. Interesting that when if I’m moving a mouse over the blank area I can see the gallery links in the left bottom corner of the browser. The links open in a new page on click, as if the gallery plugin wasn’t there at all. The same Photonic code works fine inside the page.Is there a way to print Photonic gallery using PHP or may be JS? * Thread Starter [back2music](https://wordpress.org/support/users/back2music/) * (@back2music) * [1 year, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/additional-shortcode-options/#post-18084349) * I found the cause of the problem, it was my mistake – I just forgot to load the footer in the page-php. Everything work fine now, sorry to bother you with trifles. * Plugin Author [Sayontan Sinha](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sayontan/) * (@sayontan) * [1 year, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/additional-shortcode-options/#post-18084697) * If your page has widget areas / blocks, you could always add a Photonic widget or block for this – you wouldn’t need the custom code. * Thread Starter [back2music](https://wordpress.org/support/users/back2music/) * (@back2music) * [1 year, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/additional-shortcode-options/#post-18085987) * Thanks for the tip! I just trying to device a simple solution to print galleries on a page using dropdown where a user could select and see different attachment categories from my media library.For now I coded a dropdown using JS, but still have no idea how to use it to change category value in shortcode.I’m not sure if I should ask your advice on it in this topic though. * Plugin Author [Sayontan Sinha](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sayontan/) * (@sayontan) * [1 year, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/additional-shortcode-options/#post-18086491) * I know that some folks try to use accordion plugins for this. I recall a thread from at least 4-5 years back when someone commented about using ACF for this, but I might be wrong. * A rather radical suggestion would be to go to something like Flickr or SmugMug, which lets you have albums. You could use Photonic to show a bunch of albums together, on which you can click to show the photos therein. * Thread Starter [back2music](https://wordpress.org/support/users/back2music/) * (@back2music) * [1 year, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/additional-shortcode-options/#post-18090161) * I found out that accordions are based on CSS display:block/none and tested the feature. A display:none gallery loads as fast as a blank page and only starts loading images after selecting “display:block”. So, as far as I can tell, the idea works fine and I can use it with my dropdown. Thank you again! * Thread Starter [back2music](https://wordpress.org/support/users/back2music/) * (@back2music) * [1 year, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/additional-shortcode-options/#post-18095536) * Hello Sayontan! * Just in case you interested, i have found a nice way to use dropdown in an attachement categories gallery page using URL query strings. It utilises the wordpress function‘ wp_dropdown_categories’ and a short script right in the gallery page-id.php. Here is the code: * ```wp-block-code 'drop', 'exclude' => '2395', 'hierarchical' => true, 'order' => 'ASC', 'orderby' => 'name', 'show_count' => 1, 'show_option_none' => 'Choose a category', 'taxonomy' => 'attachment_category', 'selected' => $linkParam, ) ); ?> ``` * It works perfectly with the Media Library Categories plugin. It also works fine when the gallery page is opened by an external link with a query string ‘?acat =X’ where X is the ID of the category you want the gallery page to show. Thank you once again for your kind assistance, it really helped me to resolve the problem. Have a good day!
