Obstart Shortcode

  • Hi

    I am trying to make a shortcode that I can add insert this: <?php echo sharing_display(); ?>.

    I tried an obstart function.

    function ShareShortcode() {
ob_start('<?php echo sharing_display(); ?');
}
add_shortcode('jpshare', 'ShareShortcode');

    I may be on the complete wrong track.

    Can you please give me the code.

    Thanks

  • That’s close but you need to get the contents and then close it as well. Just opening it doesn’t do anything the right way.

    function my_function () {
    ob_start ();

    // Your output goes in here.

    $html = ob_get_contents ();
    ob_end_clean ();

    return $html;
}

    When I go like this, the shortcode doesn’t work.

    function my_function () {
    ob_start ();

    function ShareShortcode() {
ob_start('<?php echo sharing_display(); ?');
}
add_shortcode('jpshare', 'ShareShortcode');

    $html = ob_get_contents ();
    ob_end_clean ();

    return $html;
}

    Am I doing this right?
