Grabbing Total Amount Collected for Use in PHP

As the WordPress tags are processed AFTER the PHP is executed, you will not be able to get the amount into your PHP script. I would suggest to go inside the PHP of the script and add that functinality you need directly into the plugin.

I encountered the same problem when writing a additional shortcode in my ‘functions.php’ file for the custom theme i build.
This works fine for me:

do_shortcode('[wpdonatecollected cid='. $value .']');

Where $value is the variable containing the cid.

That is exactly how I did it and got it working! I should have posted to say I had solved the problem. I’m glad you found the solution as well!

more explanations please if the cid = 001, where do you put that info?

like do_shortcode(‘[wpdonatecollected cid=’. 001 .’]’);

or

do_shortcode(‘[wpdonatecollected cid=’. 1 .’]’);

or ?

thanks

Normally you would like to use this code with a user-defined cID, otherwise I don’t really see a use for it, but when you would like your PHP code to always use the same cID you could use the following:

<?php
$cID = 1;
do_shortcode('[wpdonatecollected cid=' . $cID . ']');
?>

Without use of the $cID variable you could use the following:

<?php
do_shortcode('[wpdonatecollected cid=1]');
?>

The interface for the plugin shows the cIDs with leading zero’s (e.g. 001), but in the database and in the PHP code it’s just an integer (e.g. 2 or 15). So in PHP code just use the cID without leading zero’s.

thank you for explaining.
