Hi,

I should start off saying, I love your plugin! Thank you for your hard work.

The default gallery method for DCG uses a WB_Query object and built in methods get_the_title(), get_post_meta(), etc. to retrieve the post values for display. I use an additional custom plugin on my sites to replace shorttag values from post titles, and meta values and this works perfectly with this gallery method.

Unfortunately the "id method" option does not use this type of code. It has a custom query which retrieves all of the information, and is not filterable.

I was wondering if you would be open to the idea of reworking the id method to use the_loop() and similar filterable functions. I would really like to be able to continue using your plugin and avoid directly modifying any code so I can stay on the upgrade path. If you are amenable to the idea, and wanted help, I would be happy to try to rework it and provide a patch for review.

Another (possibly easier) idea would be to provide some basic filterable methods to format the title and description before display.

Thanks again for the fantastic plugin!

Hi Ade,

Thanks for the quick response. The only thing I really need to be able to filter is the post title. I am currently filtering the_title and a number of other breadcrumb/meta related filters that don't apply. If you want to add a custom filter for the title, ie. apply_filters('dcg_post_title', $title), that would be sufficient. I just did not want to add a filter and then not be able to upgrade.
