I have a shortcode like this [soundcloud url="http://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/67658191" params="" width=" 100%" height="166" iframe="true" /]
How can I get the content of the URL part or extract the whole shortcode in a post and then display it?
do_shortcode doesn't help a lot.
I want to use that shortcode in my theme and since the URL part is dynamic I have difficulty of having it display dynamically.
shortcode_parse_atts will give you managable information.
$atts = shortcode_parse_atts(
'[soundcloud url="http://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/67658191" params="" width=" 100%" height="166" iframe="true" /]'
);
You will get an array that looks like this:
array(7) {
[0]=>
string(11) "[soundcloud"
["url"]=>
string(41) "http://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/67658191"
["params"]=>
string(0) ""
["width"]=>
string(5) " 100%"
["height"]=>
string(3) "166"
["iframe"]=>
string(4) "true"
[1]=>
string(2) "/]"
}
You can the do something like:
var_dump($atts); // dump everything
echo $atts['url']; // echo just the URL
I don't understand the context you want to use this in. I think you've left out a fair bit of explanation.
tag key and attributes in attr key. I want to create a shortcode strign so that I can use do_shortcode with it later. I can manually do it, but wanted to know if there's a function in core.
