Execute php function in post content

  • I’m currently working a plugin that requires custom content to be displayed in a post via a tag being inserted by the user.

    I am so sure that I’ve come across such a feature that was added in recently, but I can’t find the codex page again! I’ve been looking around for the past couple of days, and I just can’t find the page again.

    Am I right? Does a function allowing me to declare custom tags exist and I’m not going crazy, or am am I going to have to achieve this with strreplace and a pre_content hook?

    Regards

    Thanks for the suggestion, but no. I’ve already looked through all the hooks and filters for it. I’m fairly sure it’s a function not a hook.

    Running a filter to manipulate the content before it is displayed is my backup plan. I was originally under the the impression you could define a tag which, when placed in a post’s content, would execute a defined code.

    I am however having trouble finding it again.

    Cheers

    Ah hah!…

    Shortcodes…

    If i’m thinking what you’re thinking, and you’re thinking what i’m thinking, then that’s what you’re looking for… ??

    You are a life saver, thanks mate!

    That’s exactly what I was talking about, cheers.

    I knew what you meant the first time, but the wording lost me when it came to google…

    Had looked at a plugin that used shortcodes recently though, so fortunately the term popped into my head after a little while… ??

    Curious to know what it is you’re implementing if you don’t mind my asking?
