[Plugin: Shortcodes Pro] Shortcode Inside of the Shortcode

Hi iJas0n,

I would suggest creating only one shortcode and process the Gravity Form inside. You can return the results of do_shortcode();.

Kind Regards!

I use this plugin alot for interface and this is also something I’d like to do natively. After trying some tricks, I found a way to accomplish this.

This code doesn’t work:

[do action="nine_six_zero_gs" grid="6" appearence="none"]<p><strong>Lorem Ipsum</strong>?is simply dummy text of the printing.</p>
[do action="button" color="black" url="https://www.google.ca/" target="_blank" size="medium" align="right"]Hire us![/do][/do]

Because it stats doing the shortcode “do” inside the other one but breaks at the fist “[/do]” leaving the last [/do] written as text in the content (sadface).

But this one does!:

[do action="nine_six_zero_gs" grid="6" appearence="none"]<p><strong>Lorem Ipsum</strong>?is simply dummy text of the printing.</p>
[do action="button" color="black" url="https://www.google.ca/" target="_blank" size="medium" align="right" content="Hire us!"/][/do]

1st, I added do_shortcode to the content of action="nine_six_zero_gs"
See the code below:

return ‘<div class=”grid_’ . $atts[“grid”] . ‘ ‘ . $atts[“appearence”] . ‘”>’ . do_shortcode($content) . ‘</div>’;

And here’s the little tweak: my php code for the action="button" starts with this:

if ($content == ”)
$content = $atts[“content”];

So everything works fine!

In your case iJas0n, to be more clear, yout code:

[do action=”myaction”]

My Content

[gravityform id=”1″ name=”My Gravity Form Shortcode” title=”false” description=”false” ajax=”true”][/gravityform]

[/do]

could work fine just by adding do_shortcode($content) to the php code of your “myaction” shortcode:

return ‘some html or php before ‘ . do_shortcode($content) . ‘ some html or php after’;

I Hope it helps someone out there.

Ps.
Note to the dev: There should be an option allowing recursivity of do_shortcode() so it would be a bit easier than tweeking all of the shortcode made in this plugin :).

By the way, this plugin is awesome :D.

Awesome! Thanks GabLeRoux! That worked like a charm.

For those others out there just to clarify:

1) Create shortcode with whatever code you want. Add code to your page:

[do action=”myshortcode”] My Content [/do]

2) Then to add other shortcode inside this shortcode, return to create shortcode, but use this instead:

return ' ' . do_shortcode('[other shortcode here]') . ' ';

3) Then add the new shortcode in inside the other shortcode, making sure it only have one closing [/do]. So it would now look like this:

[do action=”myshortcode”] My Content [do action=”my2ndshortcode”/] [/do]

Thanks again for your help!
