Sometimes it could be useful to allow shortcodes in the description fields of your add-ons. As an example, you might want to give the users the option of clicking a link to display further information.
To enable shortcodes in add-on descriptions, use the following snippet:
| <?php | |
| /** | |
| * Allow shortcodes in field description | |
| */ | |
| function prefix_shortcode_in_description( $description, $item, $additional_info='' ) { | |
| $field_description = ! empty( $item['field_description'] ) ? $item['field_description'] : ''; | |
| $description = sprintf( | |
| '<p class="pewc-description">%s%s</p>', | |
| do_shortcode( $field_description ), | |
| $additional_info | |
| ); | |
| return $description; | |
| } | |
| add_filter( 'pewc_filter_field_description', 'prefix_shortcode_in_description', 10, 3 ); |
This is how to add a snippet.
Adding a lightbox pop-up to the description field
As an example, here’s how to add a pop-up box to the field description:
- Install the Shortcodes Ultimate plugin
- Add the following shortcode to your field’s description
| [su_lightbox type="inline" src="#my-custom-popup"] Click here to open lightbox with HTML content [/su_lightbox] | |
| [su_lightbox_content id="my-custom-popup"] | |
| <h3>Custom HTML content</h3> | |
| Any <strong>HTML</strong> <em>tags</em> can be used here. Other shortcodes are also [su_highlight]allowed[/su_highlight]. | |
| [/su_lightbox_content] |
