UPDATE:

I’ve found these two articles: https://www.wheresitworking.com/2010/02/08/tracking-authors-in-wordpress-with-google-analytics-event-tracking/

https://www.marketingtechblog.com/wordpress/tracking-multiple-authors-google-analytics-wordpress/

I just tried the first one and I’ll have to wait and see if it works.

Nope, nothing. I think that something could be done with Google Analytics if you are handy with their custom filters but I can’t figure it out. It baffles me that there’s nothing like this for WP.

Since this release is going to integrate WPMU which is more community focused, I think the other major feature should be built in Twitter, OAuth and Twitter connect login support.

I found a solution that works. I don’t know why it works but it does:

function include_file($atts) {
	//check the input and override the default filepath NULL
	//if filepath was specified
	extract(shortcode_atts(array('filepath' => 'NULL'), $atts));
	//check if the filepath was specified and if the file exists
	if ($filepath!='NULL' && file_exists(TEMPLATEPATH.$filepath)){
	//turno on output buffering to capture script output
	ob_start();
	//include the specified file
	include(TEMPLATEPATH.$filepath);
	//assign the file output to $content variable and clean buffer
	$content = ob_get_clean();
	//return the $content
	//return is important for the output to appear at the correct position
	//in the content
	return $content;
	}
}
//register the Shortcode handler
add_shortcode('include', 'include_file');

To call the file:

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit.

[include filepath="/SomDirectory/MyIncludedFile.php"]

Duis libero orci, pretium a, convallis quis, pellentesque a, dolor.

@qwik3r Thanks for the response. I haven’t had a chance to check that out yet. Hope the solution I found helps you.

I’ve also tried this but it didn’t work:

function inline() {
    $output = include ( TEMPLATEPATH . '/inline.php' );
    return $output;
}
add_shortcode('in', 'inline');

I forgot to mention, that when it the shortcode return to the top of the post, it puts the number “1” in the place where the shortcode is supposed to return.

I have a similar problem and can’t find an answer but in my travels I think I found the answer to yours… You cannot use “echo” in a shortcode fucntion, you must use “return”. Everyone else that I’ve seen use this has their problem resolved when they stop echoing and start returning.
