How to use Shortcode in Url field?

Hi,

May I know where did you place the [current_slug] shortcode?

If you’re referring the Call to Action URL field, you may add this code snippet to your child theme functions.php to filter shortcodes:

function filter_shortcodes_in_hurrytimer_cta_url_field($url){
return do_shortcode($url);
}
add_filter('hurryt_cta_url', 'filter_shortcodes_in_hurrytimer_cta_url_field');

Hello Nabil ??,

I wanted to extend a heartfelt thank you for your swift and effective solution to the shortcode issue I was facing with HurryTimer ( My favorite extension).
Your suggested filter worked like a charm, and the [current_slug] is now perfectly replacing the page slug in the URL field for the Call to Action. Here’s the code that’s working wonders:

// Retrieve the current page slug and create a shortcode [current_slug] function get_current_page_slug() { global $post; return $post ? $post->post_name : ''; } add_shortcode('current_slug', 'get_current_page_slug'); // Filter to enable shortcode processing in the HurryTimer CTA URL field function filter_shortcodes_in_hurrytimer_cta_url_field($url){ return do_shortcode($url); } add_filter('hurryt_cta_url', 'filter_shortcodes_in_hurrytimer_cta_url_field');

This has been incredibly helpful for tracking affiliate links and understanding where clicks are coming from on my site. ??

By the way, is there an even simpler way to assign a unique identifier to each page to append as a tracking parameter in the URL with your extension?
I tried with /%postname%/ in the CTA url field but it didn’t work

I aim to track which pages lead to affiliate purchases now is working i got a “Sub id” with the slug of my page displaying on the affiliation platform but maybe i missed something simplier.

I use Pretty link and “parameter forwarding” to forward my slug to the merchant/shop.

Thanks a million! ??

Hi,

Great to hear that the provided solution has worked for you.

I’m afraid that HurryTimer doesn’t provide such feature at this time, however, I appreciate your suggestion and will certainly consider it for future updates.
