do_shortcode close

Question

I am using the jscrollpane plugin on WordPress along with the advanced custom fields plugin. The jscrollpane plugin uses the following shortcodes:

[vr_jsp]
[/vr_jsp]

I have two different custom fields that I need to put between their own set of the above shortcodes which are:

<?php the_field('first_content_block'); ?>
<?php the_field('second_content_block'); ?>

I understand you can use the below code to do this but I am a bit stuck on what to use to output the custom field between the two shortcodes.

<?php echo do_shortcode('[vr_jsp]CONTENT HERE[/vr_jsp]'); ?>

Just to clarify I need the custom field (first_content_block) displayed where 'CONTENT HERE' is.

Answer 1

Use get_field instead of the_field. That way you can assign it to a varilable.

$first_comment = get_field('first_content_block');
$second_comment = get_field('second_content_block');

echo do_shortcode("[vr_jsp] $first_comment, $second_comment [/vr_jsp]");

I haven't tried it, but see if that works.
