Shortcodes in additional content blocks.

Hi smekras,

You can display display rendered shortcodes by wrapping the additional content output with the do_shortcode function

<?php $additional_content = get_additional_content();
for( $i = 0; $i < count($additional_content); $i++ ) {
    echo do_shortcode( $additional_content[$i]['content'] );
}?>

Alternatively, a more thorough method would be to apply the_content filters. The achieve this, firstly add this to your theme functions.php
add_filter( 'the_content', array( $blocky, 'blocky_content_filter' ), 1 );
(there will be an option on the settings page in v.1.3 to handle this as well).
Then you can run apply_filters on your additional content.

<?php $additional_content = get_additional_content();
for( $i = 0; $i < count($additional_content); $i++ ) {
    echo apply_filters( 'the_content', $additional_content[$i]['content'] );
}?>

Currently there is no way to reorder content blocks in the editor. It is on my radar, however in the meantime I’d recommend creating a bunch of extra blocks, copying your content into the new blocks in the correct order and then removing the empty blocks.

Thanks,
Cameron

Apologies, I posted the wrong function above, it’s remove_filter not add_filter.
remove_filter( 'the_content', array( $blocky, 'blocky_content_filter' ), 1 );

Thanks for the swift response man, do_shortcode worked like a charm for what I wanted to do.
