Can this be added in a PHP template?

  • I’d love to be able to do this too.

    Couldn’t you just use the do_shortcode() function? It’s pretty simple to use usually.

    How it’s usually used in it’s simplest form:
    <?php echo do_shortcode( '[shortcode]' ) ?>

    The tooltip shortcode is a little different because we also have a closing tag:
    [/tooltip]

    So we write the full shortcode this way:
    [tooltip tip="Popup tooltip text."]some text here[/tooltip]

    Ok, fine. So to do this in PHP, I would first assign a variable for the “some text here” portion so that we may neatly call this in the do_shortcode() function:
    $tooltip_text = "some text here.";

    I will then simply display the results of the shortcode using the echo construct:
    echo do_shortcode( '[tooltip tip="This is the tooltip popup text."]' . $tooltip_text . '[/tooltip]' );

    As you can see, we’re echoing (or displaying) the shortcode exactly as we would normally, only this time using a variable for the title text.

    The full PHP code would look something like this. I put mine inside <div> tags:

    <div class="tooltipShortcode">
<?php
$tooltip_text = "Title text of the tooltip.";
echo do_shortcode( '[tooltip tip="This is the tooltip popup text."]' . $tooltip_text . '[/tooltip]' );
?>
</div>

    Hope this helps. Have fun!
