Need to allow HTML in "Phone" field

This is in reference to Store Locator > All Stores > Edit Store > Additional Information > “Tel” field

The answer is here.

That does not work for us because every phone number’s tracking code is different. So I can’t use a blanket filter to add code before/after wherever a phone number appears.

I would rather be able to add the needed code into the phone number field so that we can control it on a case-by-case basis.

I was able to add a new custom text field, and put my class ID into that field for each location. However, we are using shortcodes to display the info on the site, not the default “more info template.” How do I modify the output of the shortcode, to include my custom text field inside a <span> class that wraps the phone number output?

I did not see filter options for modifying shortcode output data.

You mean you are using the wpsl_address shortcode to show the address details in a different section of the website?

Modifying the shortcode ouput isn’t possible, this is hardcoded. But you can simply copy the relevant code that handles the output, past it in the functions.php inside your active theme folder, wrap it inside a custom function, adjust it so it includes the custom data, and call it wherever you want in your template to show the data.

I will look into making it possible to modify the shortcode output in a more user friendly way if you want to include custom data.

Or even just allowing us in the location settings to define a custom class surrounding the phone number (not including label). Most phone tracking codes (google, dialogtech, logmycalls, sharpspring, etc etc) just need you to add a custom class to the number to be able to dynamically swap out the phone number.

e.g.
— in location details editor, add field for “phone tracking class”
— code in front end around number becomes:

<span><strong>Phone</strong>: <span class="mycustomclass">(866) 999-1234</span></span>

(If this is possible then I recommend adding the capabilities on a per-location basis, as the tracking system may need a separate class for each location.)

You can already add a custom class to the phone number by first creating a custom field and use it to set the custom class. Then use this filter to set the value from that field in the template.

Right I created the custom field, but it does not output when shortcode is used because there is no way to edit the shortcode parameters to add the code for custom class in a span wrapping the phone number. I already did the above to show up on the results template.
