Shortcode in sidebar

[Klas]

Hello!

I would like to use shortcode for a excerpt plugin in the sidebar, but getsimple removes it. Looks like only html is allowed.

How can I override it?

[Everyone]

If I understand correctly, you already have a plugin that will throw you excerpts with the use of a shortcode, but the excerpt does not appear?

Second question, what exactly do you mean by "shortcode"? A php style shortcode consisting of <? ?> or some {mustage-like} tag?

The shortcode looks lie this:

(% excerpt :portfolio, 340, html %)

It does not show up in the temple.

Is there an easy way to change this?

[Everyone]

As far as I know shortcodes/tags are only processed as long as they appear in the content field of the page. Eventually in other fields of the page as long as plugin supports it.

Shortcodes/tags won't work when placed in components or raw in template files.

(% excerpt :portfolio, 340, html %)

Are you using the Pages Excerpts plugin?
If so, it can be used with a function in the template or components. I think it would be like:

PHP Code:

<?php echo page_excerpt('portfolio', 340, 'html'); ?>

Thank you for your response, that will do it for the excerpts, but I have also an other problem, a mp3 plugin, who have the same syntax in its short-code. My bee that is not possible then, to use the short-code.

Which plugin?

[Carlos]

Nevermind, I suppose it's the Mp3 Plugin Extended.

Try inserting something like this in your sidebar:

PHP Code:

<?php echo exec_filter('content','(% mp3:yourfile.mp3 %)'); ?>

Thanks for your help, great!

The thing is that the file are going to bee change regularly (newest program), so I think it have to bee some hack on the default regulation for the sidebar, so the short-code will function.

Ok, I got a solution for this.

Added this code to the template and added a site with the slug name latest.

PHP Code:

getPageContent('latest'); 


Thanks every one for your time and help!

The site so far

If I need to stick small arbitrary php code in my site. I use my component hook plugin.

Thanks, but I almost build my own template anyway, so I stick with my solution.
