Lucas Wynne linked some good plugins for such functionalities (I have used Addthis multiple times), however if you’re looking for a plugin-free solution, i’d more likely filter the content in my functions.php file instead of using a shortcode : some pseudo-code function add_content( $content ){ $content .= “<a href=\”facebook\”>FACEBOOK</a>”; return $content; } For more info … Read more

If I understand the question: Modify the shortcode to incorporate <?php if (is_post()) { //do this; }?> or <?php if (is_page()) { //do this; }?> or <?php if (is_home()||is_front_page()) { //do this; }?> The first will only do //do this; on a post, the second on a page, and the third if the post or … Read more
Short answer: No. If the plugin doesn’t provide a shortcode, then simply “No”. Templates are considered to be easy, so this is the way to go.
The shortcode wraps something in header tags. For the shortcode to work you need to provide that something. Your code above works fine, you just need to set $content=”My header text”; prior to echoing the shortcode in your template. currently you are not wrapping anything in the header tags. But you shouldn’t need to use … Read more
Try This: function defaulttab( $atts, $content = null ) { $GLOBALS[‘tab_count’] = 0; do_shortcode($content) if( is_array( $GLOBALS[‘tabs’] ) ){ $i = 1; foreach( $GLOBALS[‘tabs’] as $tab ){ $tabs[] = ‘<li><a class=”tab” href=”#”>’.$tab[‘title’].'</a></li>’; $panes[] = ‘<div class=”tab’.$i.'” class=”tabcontent”>’ .$tab[‘content’].'</div>’; $i++; } $return = ‘<div class=”tabcontainer”><ul class=”selector”>’.implode( “\n”, $tabs ).'</ul> <div class=”clear”></div>’.implode( “\n”, $panes ).'</div>’; } return … Read more

The Codex page for is_plugin_active explains what your problem is: NOTE: defined in wp-admin/includes/plugin.php, so this is only available from within the admin pages. If you want to use this function from within a template, you will need to manually require plugin.php, like this: <?php include_once( ABSPATH . ‘wp-admin/includes/plugin.php’ ); ?> <?php is_plugin_active($plugin) ?>
In general, special theme functionality (including shortcodes) should be placed in your theme’s functions.php file, which is in the root of your theme folder. If the code is less than a few dozen lines, it probably won’t be worth creating a separate file (unless you just really want to organize your code that way). So … Read more
Had a bit of a brain wave and thought I would capture the output and return it in the function. Turns out it fixed the problem so the final code ended up looking like this: function amazon_video($atts){ extract( shortcode_atts( array( ‘file’ => $file ), $atts ) ); $url = get_bloginfo(‘url’); $return = “<embed src=””.$url.”/jwplayer/player.swf” name=”player” … Read more
