Missing do_shortcode() on shortcode content

  • I like this plugin. What I missed about it is that it lacks a do_shortcode() on the shortcode content. Do_shortcode(), allows a DB query output to be formatted as a table and sent to the browser at run-time. I have hardcoded the do_shortcode myself in your plugin, it was an easy one. Something to keep in mind for the next update? ??

    Hello adalsanto,
    Easy Table supports shortcode inside table cell by default.
    But, be careful if your shortcode contains any commas ( or any delimiter character set by current table). So, make sure the shortcode doesn’t contain character that can break the table or use another character for delimiter, etc.

    Takien, thank you for your answer, I did not know that Easy Table supports shortcode inside table cell. What I am proposing is to make Easy Table able to support shortcode for the whole table. In order to do so, I have edited line 172:

    $content = do_shortcode($content);

    This way, I can insert a shortcode instead of a table with shortcodes which allows me a flexibility that I could not have otherwise.

    I hope this helps.

    Sorry if I’m missing something here.
    Did you mean you would like to create shortcode for displaying Easy Table shortcode? In which case it will be useful?
    Actually I’m interested with your words, but stil not get it. DB query output to be formatted as a table and sent to the browser at run-time.
    thank you.
