Shortcode doesn't work from another shortcode

    Hi,

    I’m developing my own shortcode with a basic tags selector for filter with your plugin and show images that I desire.

    If I use your shortcode from Admin Editor Page there is no problem and works fine. But I want to do it dynamically based in a selected tags so I need to call do_shortcode for that generating tags_ids string.

    The following from my own PHP is not working :

    echo do_shortcode(‘[ngg_images source=”tags” tag_ids=”‘.$varTags.'” display_type=”photocrati-nextgen_basic_thumbnails”]’);

    Where variable $varTags is the String that I said, comma formatted as : “blue,sky,cloud”

    When do_shortcode calls ngg_images I get the following error :

    Warning: addslashes() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given in <MY_SITE>/wp-content/plugins/nextgen-gallery/products/photocrati_nextgen/modules/datamapper/package.module.datamapper.php on line 1337

    no images were found

    Hope you can help me with this problem… Thanks and great job!!

    @jse4 – Without the context of your entire code construct it may be a bit difficult to sort out where you are having the issue.

    Have you tried substituting in the expected $varTags value into your do_shortcode code above to see if the error persists? As it is, I am not seeing anything “wrong” with the shortcode you are trying to use.

    Thanks!

    Forcing do_shortcode with desired tags works well. I don’t know why is not working… But I’m getting another problem. Suppose that media has 3 tags {blue,sky,cloud} and I want to filter by one of them for example SKY.

    The plugin give me back “No images were found” because I need to filter by all of them.

    Can I do that ?

    Thanks and I’ll keep looking for an error !

    There is no reason for doesn’t work, is exactly the same shortcode from admin editor as PHP Code…

    I’m using my own shortcode for showing a form for filtering, in the same php file I process the action and if everything ‘OK’ I call do_shortcode…

    It sometimes give me the error that I said and sometime says ‘no images were found’.
    I don’t know whats the cause..

    thanks

    @jse4 – Generally the “No images were found” message is rendered when there are no images with the specific tag you are using. The easiest test is to see if using the specific tag instead of the variable provides an image display.

    Given that using the specific tags versus the variable does work in the context you are describing you may need to look at your custom code to insure that it is providing the data you are expecting.

    There could also be other influencing factors going on as well with your site and it may be best to test this using as close to the benchmark of a default WordPress Twenty series theme and NextGEN Gallery as possible.

    Thanks!
