Parameter in function in shortcode not working

    Hi,

    I have the following code for a shortcode:

    function myrelatedpages ( $atts, $content = null )
{
extract( shortcode_atts( array(
'pageids' => '', // Set default values
), $atts ) );

$html = wp_list_pages('title_li=&echo=0&sort_column=menu_order&include=$pageids');

return $html;
}

add_shortcode('myrelatedpages', 'myrelatedpages');

    // usage: [myrelatedpages pageids=”5,6″]

    The problem is that the $pageids is not being accepted in the wp_list_pages function, ie include=$pageids does not work.

    The function does not output anything.

    I have tested that $pageids does contain a value, eg: 2553 (a page id) and I have checked that hard coding works eg: include=2553.

    Any help would be much appreciated.

    Try changing this:

    $html = wp_list_pages('title_li=&echo=0&sort_column=menu_order&include=$pageids');

    to this:

    $html = wp_list_pages( "title_li=&echo=0&sort_column=menu_order&include=$pageids" );

    or this:

    $html = wp_list_pages( 'title_li=&echo=0&sort_column=menu_order&include=' . $pageids );

    Hi keesiemeijer,

    wp_list_pages(‘title_li=&echo=0&sort_column=menu_order&include=’.$pageids);

    works!!!

    Thanks very much for your help!
