Shortcode problem

    I am having some trouble getting my shortcode to pass a parameter.

    In my page I put:

    [rootsPersona personId=’p111′ /]

    My shortcode handler code is:

    function rootsPersonaHandler( $atts, $content = null ) {
	$rootsPersonId = $atts["personId"];
	$block = "rootsPersonaHandler: $rootsPersonId";
	if(isset($rootsPersonId)) {
	// this block never gets called
	}
	return $block;
}

    However, $rootsPersonId is always coming up as unset. “rootsPersonaHandler:” is all that ever gets passed.

    Can anyone else see the issue? I’m stuck.

    Thanks
    Ed

  • Just a guess but don’t you need to do an add_shortcode somewhere?

    add_shortcode( 'rootsPersona', 'rootsPersonaHandler' );

    Yes, I left all the admin/setup stuff out.

    The handler is getting called, in that I see “rootsPersonaHandler:” in my output. $rootsPersonId = $atts[“personId”]; just always comes up empty.

    It the case thing. This works:

    function rootspersonahandler( $atts, $content = null ) {
	$rootspersonid = $atts["personid"];
	$block = "rootsPersonaHandler: $rootspersonid";
	if(isset($rootspersonid)) {
	// this block never gets called
	}
	return $block;
}
add_shortcode( 'rootspersona', 'rootspersonahandler' );

    DOH!

    Yep, that was it. Thank you.

    Actually just need to fix this:

    $rootsPersonId = $atts["personid"];
