Wrapping content within shortcodes?

[DevJMD]

In your second example, you use:

[text color="red"]This is red text.[/text]

What if This is red text. is dynamic content? Take for example, a wrapper element.

HTML:

<div class="wrapper"></div>

Shortcode:

[wrapper] My dynamic content that could contain lots of HTML from the user [/wrapper]

How would I go about this? For example, My dynamic content is injected within <div class="wrapper"> My dynamic content </div>?

Maybe I'm overthinking this, but I want to use this in a WYSIWYG and I know a very similar service for Laravel lets you access the $content within the tags which renders anything between the shortcode tags.

The idea I have in my head is:

<div class="wrapper">{{ content }}</div>

Thus dynamically rendering the content between [wrapper] and [/wrapper].

Is there a way to achieve this or access the content within the shortcode tags?

I'm going to take a slight guess and presume this may involve passing the content as a controller argument somehow?

It's not that I want to inject content as such by parameter, but HTML pre-existing through the WYSIWYG.

Cheers,

Hi James,

That sounds like a very valid idea. We simply didn't have this use case yet and thus this bundle doesn't provide access to the content between the shortcode tags.

The library we're using (https://github.com/thunderer/Shortcode) seems to support accessing the content via the getContent() method of the shortcode. To my understanding, it should be possible to pass the content to the controller in the __invoke method of the EmbeddedShortcodeHandler (https://github.com/webfactory/WebfactoryShortcodeBundle/blob/master/Handler/EmbeddedShortcodeHandler.php#L77).

A PR adding this feature would be welcome!

Cheers,
Sebastian
