Get custom posts with certain ids in a custom loop using a shortcode

1 Views

So I’m using custom loop and shortcode to insert it in any page.
Like this: 

function register_custom_shortcode($atts){

    extract(shortcode_atts(array(
        'ids' => '', // this is what I need
        ), $atts));

    $cutom_loop = new WP_Query( array( 
        'post_type' => 'cutom_post',
        'orderby' => 'menu_order',
        'order' => 'ASC'
        ) );

    ob_start();


    while ( $cutom_loop->have_posts() ) : $cutom_loop->the_post(); ?>

    <article id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" <?php post_class(''); ?>>

    // post thumb, title and so on

    </article>

    <?php endwhile;


    wp_reset_postdata();
    $content = ob_get_contents();
    ob_end_clean();
    return $content;
}

add_shortcode( 'custom_loop', 'register_custom_shortcode' );

How shoud I handle this ids to have shortcode like this: [custom_loop ids="112,93,34,91"]?

EDIT:

Ok, if i add 'post__in' => array(189,173) to new WP_Query it will output only this two posts, but still can’t figure out how to grab this ids from shortcode.

  1. If you use comma separated id’s in the shortcode like "112,93,34,91", you can make use of the explode function to make an array out of the string, like the following:

    extract(shortcode_atts(array(
    'ids' => ''
), $atts));

$id_array = explode(',', $ids);

    Then you just have to use 'post__in' => $id_array
