Using WordPress Shortcodes

    Hello, It’s me again.

    Using the Business template to show one record and it works well. Thought I would use a Tab shortcode to display sections of the data without showing all. But the Shortcodes are not being interpreted if I put them in with the template script. Tried echo do_shortcode and just echo, but doesn’t help. Any suggestion on how to implement this function using the WordPress Shortcodes plugin?

    Thanks

    Henry

    Henry,

    This can get quite complicated, I did something like this for a client and it took quite a bit of work to get it all working. Lots of custom templates were needed.

    The best way to do a tabbed interface with the form is to create your own javascript and use the jQuery tabs UI. That way, you don’t have to mess around with trying to get shortcodes to work inside of shortcodes and breaking the form up into separate units.

    If you want to stick with creating the tabs using shortcodes, I’d use a plugin that does that instead of trying to get it working with the Shortcodes plugin. But you’ll still have many issues to resolve…
