Shortcodes Ultimate shortcodes in a snippet?

I see the problem. With do_shortcode you need to include both the opening and closing tags. That’s why they were acting weirdly.

So my problem is that I have a lot of content like this that worked just fine before but which I don’t know how to easily convert to use your 2.x plugin:

[su_row][su_column size=”2/3″]
[insert_php]
BLOCK A
[/insert_php]
[/su_column][su_column size=”1/3″]
[insert_php]
BLOCK B
[/insert_php]
[/su_column][/su_row]

Block A and Block B need to share variables and could easily do so before. But now I have to create separate snippets for them in 2.x and so they can no longer share variables. Is that correct? Is there any way to put both blocks in a single snippet?

Hello
I suggest make single snippet and put columns in it.

$blockA = "something A";
$blockB = "something B";
$html = '[su_row][su_column size="2/3"]' . $blockA . '[/su_column]';
$html .= '[su_column size="1/3"]' . $blockB . '[/su_column][/su_row]';
echo do_shortcode($html);

Or you can use global keyword for share variables.

Also $content variable may be useful. It contains text between tags [wbcr_php_snippet id="xxx"][/wbcr_php_snippet]

Best regards

“something A” and “something B” are two blocks of PHP commands. They can’t just be concatenated and assigned to $html as you do above. What am I missing?

Here is my old insert_php code:
[su_row][su_column size=”2/3″]
echo “Hello World”;
[su_column size=”1/3″]
echo “Goodbye World”;
[/su_column][/su_row]

It prints out:

Hello World Goodbye World

You say to convert it to a snippet like so:
$blockA = ‘echo “Hello World”;’;
$blockB = ‘echo “Goodbye World”;’;
$html = ‘[su_row][su_column size=”2/3″]’ . $blockA . ‘[/su_column]’;
$html .= ‘[su_column size=”1/3″]’ . $blockB . ‘[/su_column][/su_row]’;
echo do_shortcode($html);

This results in:

echo “Hello World”; echo “Goodby World”;

That’s obviously not what I want.

Oops, my old insert_php code should have been:

[su_row][su_column size=”2/3″]
[insert_php]
echo “Hello World”;
[/insert_php]
[su_column size=”1/3″]
[insert_php]
echo “Goodbye World”;
[/insert_php]
[/su_column][/su_row]

Hi

Option 1
Put code A and B to individual snippets.
Create a third snippet with follow code:

$blockA = '[wbcr_php_snippet id="xxxA"]';
$blockB = '[wbcr_php_snippet id="xxxB"]';
$html = '[su_row][su_column size="2/3"]' . do_shortcode($blockA) . '[/su_column]';
$html .= '[su_column size="1/3"]' . do_shortcode($blockB) . '[/su_column][/su_row]';
echo do_shortcode($html);

Option 2
Rewrite the code of A and B so that it returns the html to a variable.

Option 3

ob_start();
echo "Hello World"; // block A code
$blockA = ob_get_clean();

ob_start();
echo "Goodbye World"; // block B code
$blockB = ob_get_clean();

$html = '[su_row][su_column size="2/3"]' . $blockA . '[/su_column]';
$html .= '[su_column size="1/3"]' . $blockB . '[/su_column][/su_row]';
echo do_shortcode($html);

It’s all a ton of work converting my code. I’ll stick with the old version of this plugin.
