rel="lightbox" not working with do_shortcode function

Hi!

I have a little problem with a current project and the plugin WP jQuery Lightbox. Like always, when I use the plugin with the gallery shortocde like

[gallery link="file"]

it works fine inside the content of the post (the plugin adds the

rel="lightbox"

parameter to all the images of the gallery).

But now, I've found a problem using the gallery shortcode ousite the content. I'm running the gallery this way with the do_shortcode function:

echo do_shortcode('[gallery link="file"]');

Looking at the plugin code, I see that the filters which add the rel="lightbox" attribute to a gallery inside the content are:

add_filter('the_content', 'jqlb_autoexpand_rel_wlightbox', 99);

add_filter('the_excerpt', 'jqlb_autoexpand_rel_wlightbox', 99);

This filters are only running on the_content and the_excerpt, so I'm trying to add a filter to the do_shortcode function this way but it's not working fine:

add_filter('do_shortcode', 'jqlb_autoexpand_rel_wlightbox', 99);

Do you know how can I make the do_shortcode function work?

  There is no error. Simply the plugin function is not executed with the filter I've tried for the do_shortcode function.
  I need to execute the plugin function in the do_shortcode function in the same way it is executing in the_content function.

  do_shortcode - line 144
  wp-includes/shortcodes.php
  
  do_shortcode_tag - line 193
  wp-includes/shortcodes.php
  
  same - line 296
  add_filter('the_content', 'do_shortcode', 11); // AFTER wpautop()
  
  happy debuging man...!
  shortcodes dosn't have filters. but you can do that with the_content
  
  or you can remove or add shortcodes. (repalce it by your custom search..)
  
  P/S/
  related to the gallery you can repalce the content by one more way, but its not intresting to give all answers just for 4 $ =)

Hi,

Use the following str_replace with the do_shortcode function, before echoing out.
```
<?php

$gallery = do_shortcode('[gallery id="123"]');



$process_gallery = str_replace( 'a href' , 'a rel="lightbox" href' , $gallery );



echo $process_gallery;

?>
```
Hope it helps!

Thanks.

  Hi,
  
  Remember to replace with a valid gallery id!
  Whereby id is the post id of your gallery.
  
  Thanks.
