I have just spent 24 hours attempting the same implementation, but with a more elaborate styled preview of results. Basically like a layout builder using shortcodes. Wish I would have found this post earlier cause it lays the groundwork for the first objective (using TinyMCE for point & click selection of shortcode attributes): The second … Read more
function wpse450_show_video( $atts ) { extract(shortcode_atts(array( ‘id’ => 0 ), $atts )); if( is_numeric($id) ) { $ngvideo_title = get_the_title($id); } ob_start(); include ‘path/to/file/video.php’; return ob_get_clean(); } add_shortcode( ‘ngvideo’, ‘wpse450_show_video’ ); You can use $id, $atts in our file as you would in your function. The code in your file will behave just like it would … Read more
If you think your shortcode is hurting performance (measure and you will know!), then you might want to consider caching its output in a transient. A good way to get a unique key would be to consider what could differentiate calls to your shortcode function: its name the attributes passed the site URL (in cases … Read more
include changes the scope. You would need to declare $classslider global before defining it, and then use global $classslider; before using it. function bf_shortcode_slideshow($atts) { global $classslider; extract(shortcode_atts(array( … I think that will fix your problem. I don”t understand why you are using include at all though. There must be a better way to make … Read more

For the sake of the example, I’ll assume you to have copied the relevant Table to the WordPress DB, to have named it wp_my_xtra_table and it to contain 3 columns (id,num_val,str_val). function wpse106832_shortcode_demo( $atts ) { global $wpdb; extract( shortcode_atts( array( ‘id’ => 1 ), $atts ) ); $table_row = $wpdb->get_row( ‘SELECT * ‘ . … Read more
You can hijack the shortcode and use your own additional logic. Sample code, not tested: add_action( ‘after_setup_theme’, function() { // Replace the plugin shortcode handler with your own. add_shortcode( ‘standout-css3-button’, function( $atts, $content = NULL ) { // Let the plugin make the button and store the result. $button = scss3button( $atts, $content ); // … Read more
