Embedding a user template with a shortcode

Hi @clancel

Since you want to show information about that user’s profile I think the use_current parameter would work:
[pods use_current=1 template="User Template"]

Cheers, Jory

Thank you for your reply. Would you mind explaining what “1” is? I tried this shortcode you gave me but I’m getting a “Pod not found” message. I wish to show the user meta fields of a logged in user through template on a Woocommerce My Account Menu. At the moment, I can’t seem to find out how to get the template to work with a code snippet. So I’m typing out the content that I used in the User Template to show the special magic tags. I wish to use the User Template instead of typing out the text. The woocommerce code snippet is as follows,

// ——————
// 4. Add content to the new endpoint

function bbloomer_lesson_record_content() {
echo do_shortcode( ‘[pods name=”user” where=”ID = {@user.ID}”]Welcome back {@display_name}! You have {@remaining_lessons} remaining in your lesson card. <br /> You last lesson was on {@last_lesson}. Your card will expire on {@card_expiration_date}.[/pods]’);
echo “<u><h4>Lesson Dates</h4></u>”;
}

add_action( ‘woocommerce_account_lesson-record_endpoint’, ‘bbloomer_lesson_record_content’ );
// Note: add_action must follow ‘woocommerce_account_{your-endpoint-slug}_endpoint’ format

1 is simply used for true.

I think the original shortcode is fine but you didn’t set the required constant in wp-config.php.

Make sure to check the following page: https://docs.pods.io/displaying-pods/magic-tags/special-magic-tags/

Important: In many cases, such as inside a shortcode, or in the Pods widget settings, you must add the following define(‘PODS_SHORTCODE_ALLOW_EVALUATE_TAGS’,true); to your wp_config.php for these tags to be used.

I already added the required constant to wp-config.php. I placed it at the end of the template as follows,

/** Sets up WordPress vars and included files. */

require_once ABSPATH . ‘wp-settings.php’;

define(‘PODS_SHORTCODE_ALLOW_EVALUATE_TAGS’,true);

It is placed in the wp-config.php file found in my website folder. If it’s not placed correctly, please advise. Thank you so much for your help so far.

Not 100% sure (on my phone right now) but I believe it should be above including the settings file.

Is this issue still active or did you manage to fix it?

Hi Jory. Template is now working. I used this shortcode,

[pods name=”user” where=”id = {@user.id}” template=”User Template”]

Next thing I wish to do display the special tags in another language. It’s not translating so far.

Hi @clancel

Please keep this on topic. You already have a different issue opened for that ??
Closing this issue here.
