Shortcodes (with a space) added to php Sample

Question

I have found only a small handful of posts from around the internet regarding Shortcodes and allowing them to work / execute within Admin Pages.

So, I have made several admin pages in Wordpress, and one of them requires me to add a shortcode from one of the other plugins.

I have found this solution which according to the comments it works: do_shortcode() within Admin Page

However, the example in the answer uses [example] as the shortcode, the shortcode I am trying to use is [customcont form=3] If you notice, there is a space in my shortcode which is what puzzled me.

Because of that I'm now struggling how to incorporate that into the example that is on that thread??

This is not a duplicate question, I'm asking how to add my shortcode with a space into the example provided.

Thank you in advance!

Answer 1

there isn't an "space" in the Shortcode-Name. What you have, is an shortcode called "customcont", that is providing an Parameter called "form".

So this is, how it should work:

function example_shortcode( $atts = array(), $content = '' )
{
    extract( 
        shortcode_atts( 
            array (
                'form' => 0,
            ), 
            $atts 
       )
   );

    return 'FORM TO DISPLAY IS #'.$form;
}
add_shortcode( 'customcont', 'example_shortcode' );

With the $form Variable you can Access the Number of the form to Display, in your case the "3".
