Callback Function Broken

  • I created a callback function with the exact code that is in the default output function. When I add a shortcode to a post and specify the callback function, the page breaks on the shortcode (just the site header is shown, no content, no footer). What could be the problem?

    The end goal is I want to use shortcodes within the ads. I understand the plugin does not run shortcodes in the content, but shouldn’t I be able to run the do_shortcodes function on the $html variable just before it is returned (using the callback function)?

    Hi,

    Can you post your code?

    Actually I figured part of it out. You can not use the default code because it uses the $this variable which is only available within the class.

    I know there is a way to refer to the class, but I do not see where the class is instantiated. How do I refer to $this?

    It is the exact same code as is found within the output function.

    You can’t use $this in your own custom callback function.

    There are 2 arrays available to you: $ads and $args.

    $ads contains all of the ads which appear in the result set.

    $args contains all of the variables related to the result set.

    However you can replace lines like this:
    $this->open_tag(

    With lines like these in your custom function:
    DFADS::open_tag(
