Edit shortcode

Hi,

This might seem like a strange question, but is it possible to edit the shortcode? I realise at the moment it uses an id, for example:

[visualizer id=”1234″]

I have a template which shows a progress report. The idea is the administrator enters the shortcode for the relevant piechart depending on the progress made. I have a series of shortcodes that each refer to a pie chart showing 10%, 20%, 30%, 40% etc, but they are very random and I had to add instructions like this:

(DELETE THIS SECTION AFTER)
Add shortcode as appropriate to key below:
[visualizer id="1034"]? = 0% complete
[visualizer id="1037"] ?= 10% complete
[visualizer id="1039"] ?= 20% complete
[visualizer id="1046"] ?= 30% complete
[visualizer id="1054"] ?= 40% complete
[visualizer id="1058"] ?= 50% complete
[visualizer id="1062"] ?= 60% complete
[visualizer id="1066"] ?= 70% complete
[visualizer id="1070"] ?= 80% complete
[visualizer id="1074"] ?= 90% complete
[visualizer id="1078"] ?= 100% complete
(DELETE THIS SECTION AFTER)

[visualizer id="1070"]

It would be great to add instead something like this:

[visualizer id="0percent"]
[visualizer id="10percent"]
[visualizer id="20percent"]
[visualizer id="30percent"]
[visualizer id="40percent"]
[visualizer id="50percent"]
[visualizer id="60percent"]
[visualizer id="70percent"]
[visualizer id="80percent"]
[visualizer id="90percent"]
[visualizer id="100percent"]

And they just delete the ones appropriate and it would be easier to modify as the progress changes.

Fingers crossed this is possible – I wasn’t sure if I could modify the shortcodes directly in the database?

Thanks!
