Kind of the same question I had on tag:form.

On the return parameter of exp:gallery_extended:entry_form is there a way to push the new entry id through?  I’m guessing there isn’t, so if not do you have any suggestions for resolving the following:
Since GX2 will not allow for entry of tags via the entry_form, I’m trying to return the form to a page with the single entry and tagging form.  The problem I’m having is that my tagging form is not showing up because an entry_id is not being sent.

Rick,

Like your Tag Module request, use the {segment_3} parameter in the Return URL:

but it is a new post so the entry id isn’t in the URL to begin with.

This probably wont work, but for the heck of it, try:

EE Forums messes up the second % sign....

% % entry_id % %

without spaces

That is from the SAEF Redirect.  I attempted to try it before, but couldn’t get it to work.  Here’s something interesting or you… It appears that ever since going up to 1.6.3, I can not save a template if I have the % % entry_id % % variable in my form return!!!  If I put it in and click update… it never saves… just sits there attempting to until it finally times out.

Strange… just tried it with my site… seems to work ok. 

As for the Return… I hate to say it, but I guess you’re a bit out of luck…
The only workaround I can think of is having the “finish” page load the most recent photo by entry date, which in theory, should be the one you just uploaded.
