 * I’m using this plugin “[Slideshow Gallery](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/slideshow-gallery/)“
   
   it works but I want to put it outside the post (on my single.php) to be able 
   to float: right it..
 * This is the plugin’s shortcode `[slideshow post_id="#"]`
 * Here’s what I’m trying to achieve
 * `<?php echo do_shortcode("[slideshow post_id="<?php the_ID(); ?> "]"); ?>`
 * But it’s not working. anyone know how to do it?
    Note: I placed it inside the
   loop

 * try to use string concatenation within the code; and use the wordpress function
   that return the value; and use single quotes to wrap the string, so you can have
   the double quotes in the code:
 * example:
 *     ```
       <?php echo do_shortcode('[slideshow post_id="'.get_the_ID().'"]'); ?>
       ```

 * Wow thanks it worked!
 * I’ll research more on concatenation.
