I wrote a custom shortcode handler to display the content of a custom field:
add_shortcode( 'post_cf', 'click_cf_shortcode' );
function click_cf_shortcode($atts, $content = null) {
global $post;
$defaults = array(
'key' => ''
);
$atts = shortcode_atts( $defaults, $atts );
$custom_field = get_post_meta($post->ID, $atts[key], true);
if ( !$custom_field ) return;
$output = '<span class="post-cf post-cf-' . $atts[key] .'">' . $custom_field . '</span>';
return apply_filters( 'click_cf_shortcode', $output, $atts);
};
So I can do this to display the content of a custom field:
[post_cf key="custom_field_name"]
The shortcode works in the regular Genesis Featured Post widget, but not in GFWA. I'm guessing there's a filter or something that's blocking it. I would be much obliged if you made a change to enable custom shortcodes like this. Thanks Nick :)
