Using Shortcodes and Child Settings

    I want to use the shortcodes to insert an intellliwidget in my page.

    I don’t have any intelliwidgets in my widgets section. I went to the page where I want to use the shortcode, and insert [intellliwidget] on it. Can I use the Intelliwidget Profiles for that page to control the shortcode intelliwidget? It seems like I can’t — I selected to Add New Profile and under “Parent Profile to replace” I selected Shortcode in Post Content, but when I change settings under the page’s Intelliwidget Profiles it seems to have no effect on what actually shows up on the page.

    Can you give step by step instructions on how this should work?

    Thanks

    Fox2000,

    You have to add the section parameter to tell the shortcode which profile to use. The section corresponds to the number on the tab.

    [intelliwidget section=1]

    This would use the settings in profile tab number 1.

    Alternatively, you can use the “old school” parameters in the shortcode, although using the child profile method is much easier to configure and has more features.
