    Example Migrated from Codex:

    Hook into the gallery shortcode and replace its output with your own.

    add_filter( 'post_gallery', 'my_gallery_shortcode', 10, 3 );
    
    function my_gallery_shortcode( $output = '', $atts = null, $instance = null ) {
    	$return = $output; // fallback
    
    	// retrieve content of your own gallery function
    	$my_result = get_my_gallery_content( $atts );
    
    	// boolean false = empty, see http://php.net/empty
    	if( !empty( $my_result ) ) {
    		$return = $my_result;
    	}
    
    	return $return;
    }
