I'm trying to get several values from a shortcode. I tried several things without success.
The shortcode looks like this:
[myshortcode metakey="<field_key:key1, title:Title 1><field_key:key2, title:Title 2><field_key:key3, title:Title 3> ]
How would I get the field_key values? So in this case key1, key2 and key3?
Don't try to shove everything into a single attribute, or a single shortcode even. The string parsing you have to do will get more and more complicated. Try this:
function myshortcode_cb( $atts ) {
$atts = shortcode_atts(
array(
'cat' => '',
'title' => ''
),
$atts
);
// var_dump($atts); // debug
return "{$atts['cat']} :: {$atts['title']}";
}
add_shortcode('myshortcode','myshortcode_cb');
With this:
[myshortcode cat="key1" title="Title 1" /]
And create a shortcode for each case.
[myshortcode category="<cat:Dogs, title: My dogs><cat:Cats, title: My Cats>"]Then I would somehow know how to get the values out of the shortcode.
