2 Views

I am trying to create a shortcode with an array as input like so 

function product_gallery_shortcode($atts) {

extract(shortcode_atts(array(
            'product_id' => '31',
            'prodvid' => false,
            'youtubeids'=>'',//['lbRqMddP2jo','eFAxx817rC0'],
            'thumbnr' =>2
                ), $atts));

I like to loop throught the youtube id’s but i don’t know how to initialize the youtubeids as an array

    'youtubeids'=> array('lbRrePOP2jo','eFAxx17rC0'),

  1. Ok found a solution 

    function product_gallery_shortcode($atts) {
extract(shortcode_atts(array(
            'product_id' => '31',
            'prodvid' => false,
            'youtubeids'=> '',
            'thumbnr' =>2
                ), $atts));
etc

    and i had to turn youtubeids into an array again

    $youtubeidsnew = array();
$youtubeidsnew = explode(',', $youtubeids);

  2. I found the best solution for this problem. If you want use array for input of shortcode use this:

    function product_gallery_shortcode($atts) {
    extract(shortcode_atts(array(
                'product_id' => '31',
                'prodvid' => false,
                'youtubeids'=> array(),
                'thumbnr' =>2
                    ), $atts));
    etc 
    $youtubeids = $atts[youtubeids];
    $youtubeids = explode(',', $youtubeids);

    In your shortcode input you can use the following for each array index:

    [myshortcode youtubeids="index0,index2,index3"]

  3. Simple way I use:

    [my param="key1=value1&key2=value2"]

    in shortcode callback, just do:

    parse_str( str_replace("&", "&", $attrs['param']), $array);
// var_dump( $array );

  4. Could you not just do:

    extract(shortcode_atts(array(
            'product_id' => '31',
            'prodvid' => false,
            'youtubeids'=>array('lbRrePOP2jo','eFAxx17rC0'),
            'thumbnr' =>2
        ), $atts));
