You might want to check out… http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/do_shortcode But the gist for using shortcodes in a template is as follows… // Use shortcode in a PHP file (outside the post editor). do_shortcode(”);
Here’s a trick that wp-includes/media.php uses for the embed shortcode: first remove all shortcodes, then add a specific shortcode back to the system, filter your content for it, then re-register the original shortcodes. Try this: function etdc_tab_group( $atts, $content ){ global $shortcode_tags; $GLOBALS[‘tab_count’] = 0; // save the shortcode registrations $orig_shortcode_tags = $shortcode_tags; // remove … Read more
What you’re asking for is likely to be possible using a plugin to handle the shortcode. However, I cannot work out from what you’ve posted what you’re trying to achieve. Can you be a bit more detailed in what you’re trying to achieve? Rather than giving us the desired outcome, a bit of information on … Read more
Use this code to echo your div’s ID <?php $sidebar_layout = get_post_meta($post->ID, ‘sidebar-layout’, $single = true); ?> <div id=”<?php echo $sidebar_layout ?>”> <div class=”content”> … </div> <div class=”sidebar”> … </div> </div> If you want to apply styles according to the selection the user has made then change your style sheet as follows: #left .content{ … … Read more
Shortcodes are plain text wrapper made exactly for cases when PHP code is not available or should not be used. You can concatenate that to string and evaluate it with do_shortcode(). You can look up function that powers shortcode (set up with add_shortcode()) and use it in PHP code directly.
If you’re embedding the code directly into the template file, why bother with shortcodes? Simply extract the code from the add_shortcode() function call, and add it to your template, wrapped in an appropriate conditional tag, such as in_category(), e.g.: if ( in_category( $cat ) ) { // put shortcode code here } Note: the $cat … Read more
The promo slider on your demo site has the class .random, and in your style-Red.css file you give it a float: left; width: 200px. But because your promo slider is actually 600 pixels wide, you have 400 pixels that overlap with what follows: your text. So I don’t think this is a WordPress issue but … Read more
I coded this up quickly, based on Scribu’s writeup on script loading, might work for you or provide a starting point. The plugin file: <?php /* Plugin Name: MO_expander_shortcode */ class MO_expander_shortcode { static $add_script; function init() { add_shortcode(‘moexpander’, array(__CLASS__, ‘handle_shortcode’)); add_action(‘wp_footer’, array(__CLASS__, ‘add_script’)); } function handle_shortcode($atts, $content = null) { self::$add_script = true; // … Read more
Sorry I deleted my comment because I found the issue. You need to do an html entity decode on query variable. Use the code below. function hey_query_shortcode( $atts ) { extract( shortcode_atts( array( ‘query’ => ”, ‘style’ => ” ), $atts ) ); $query = html_entity_decode( $query ); ob_start(); $the_query = new WP_Query( $query ); … Read more
you really shouldn’t use query_posts() for anything other then the main query of the page. Instead you should use wp_query() or get_posts() , also since you return a value before running wp_reset_query() then its never actually being reset. so change your shortcode to this: function casestudy_shortcode($atts){ extract(shortcode_atts(array( ‘type’ => ‘case_studies’, ‘limit’ => ‘1’, ‘case’ => … Read more
