    function lapan_magazine_vertical($atts)
{
extract(shortcode_atts(array(
        'slug' => '',
        'title' => '',
        'limit' => '5',
        ),$atts));

        //The Query
    query_posts('showposts=1&orderby=date&order=DESC&category_name='.$slug);
        //The Loop
       if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();

    <span class="mag"><a href="'.get_category_by_slug( $slug ).'">More articles</a></span></div>';

    Why this is not working?
    Is it maybe because $slug is part of core files?
    If there is another way of getting category url from atts slug, please post.
