Format of shortcode?

    Hi there,

    Love the idea of this plugin but I use Flatsome with UX Builder so I suppose I have to use the shortcode. How should it be formatted with URL to my uploaded json-files?

    Also, if you could make a block for Flatsome (UX Builder), it would be awesome (still, shortcode is enough for me to be happy!)

    Hi,

    The format of the shortcode is:

    [am-lottieplayer src="/* Url to animation */" autoplay="true | false" controls="true | false" loop="true | false" objectFit="cover | contain | none"]

    The documentation is under Installation, but I guess it could be easier to find.

    Thanks for the tip with Flatsome! ??

    Hi again,

    Thank you for clarifying. Still nothing happens on my website. I tried with full URL to .json file and .lottie-file.

    I tried this full:
    [am-lottieplayer src=”https://www.MYDOMAIN/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/am-lottieplayer-animation.lottie” autoplay=”true | false” controls=”true | false” loop=”true | false” objectFit=”cover | contain | none”]

    Am I writing it incorrectly or could it be a bug?

    Edit: The URL is complete, seems like this forum adds some symbols after the file extension for some reason

    This is the code I added: [am-lottieplayer src=”https://www.XXX.XXX/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/am-lottieplayer-animation.lottie” autoplay=”true” controls=”false” loop=”true” objectFit=”contain”]

    It displays in source code but nothing visual. The standard WP blocks works fine on blog posts so there must be something I did wrong with the shortcode.

    Yeah, you’re right! It turns out, when I made the plugins so that it only loads scripts when it is in use, I forgot to do the same for the shortcode. By bad! Try to update your plugin now, and see if it works.

    Thank you for the quick update.

    It works now, thanks a lot!

    Excellent plugin thanks. Just seems to be an issue with loading the scripts if you use:

    echo do_shortcode(‘[am-lottieplayer…

    I’m wanting to use an ACF field to upload a lottie json file and output in a template. The shortcode loads the scripts if you add it in the post content but not if it’s applied as above.

    Hi, thanks for using the plugin!

    I see. This is an edge case, since most users wouldn’t want to load the scripts unless there’s a Lottie on the page. We might add an admin panel, where you choose how to load the scripts in the future.

    In the meantime – what if you added a Lottie as a placeholder animation? Wouldn’t that even make for better UI? ??
