Custom Short Code "show=" | WordPress.org

I am writing a custom short code that inserts a hyperlink in the report. I can get everything to print correctly using the printf technique that you use in your custom shortcode faq, but the data is not tabular. I’d like to output the report in the format that your cfdb-datable shortcode outputs. I tried using the “show=” in my shortcode but it does not seem to do anything.

Is it possible to utilize your datatable formating?

To do that, I suggest use the [cfdb-datatable] short code, but write a custom transform function or transform class to change or add data that is coming into the shortcode.

Thanks Mike. Is there a trick to the transform returning a hyperlink? I am returning the proper HTLM string for the link but it just displays as a string of text.

Hmm…Now that I think of it, I think there is code to try to prevent HTML & Javascript injection so your produced link is output as literal text.

You might just have it produce the link, then add some jQuery to make it an active link. See: http://cfdbplugin.com/?p=867
