[Plugin: Shortcode Creator] Shortcode definitions unavailable in settings

I just realized why text defined for each of my shortcode wasn’t showing up. It’s because I was defining a “<div style=’XXX’>” and “</div>” and obviously, the text field isn’t displaying HTML tags. If there’s a way to correct this, it sure would be helpful. Thanks again.

I totally agree with this … hopefully further instruction can be given on how to ‘escape out’ the ” stuff so that the html we want included in the output works out…

welll… duuur… ok i got this working….

here’s what i didnt in the html code to get it to work:

<sup><a href=\"#aff\" title=\"Affiliate Link and will open a new window or tab to an external site\">aff</a></sup>

as you can see I placed “\” before the quotes to escape them out so that the database doesn’t regard them as a delimited marker

this way it linked to an anchor tag later on in the page automatically

I created the anchor tag linking in a widget so I can use this on every page in my site.

hope this was helpful

if not i’ll try to clarify better ??

Edited:

Further note: once you save it, the \ ‘s will disappear… so remember when editing to add them back in before saving otherwise it will disappear again… this would be a pain in the butt if you have tons of shortcodes to manage i would think tho…

ok after playing adding another shortcode with html and stuff in it … it became a hassle…

even attempted to add them straight into the database and that just made everything disappear

so this plugin is great so long as you dont want to get tricky with it… i.e. using just plain text

but for my purposes it is not quite there yet
