    hi, I am creating a shortcode of a category of posts..

    function pinterest_portfolio_shortcode($attr){
	global $post;
	$postnum = 0;
	$catquery = new WP_Query( 'cat=40&showposts=1000' );
	$retString = '<div class="portfolio-pinterest-wrapper"><div class="porfolio-pin-item portfolio-cat1"><div class="portfolio-header" style="width:100%;"><h2>'.get_cat_name(40).'</h2></div>';
	while($catquery->have_posts()){
		$catquery->the_post();
		$full_image = wp_get_attachment_image_src(get_post_thumbnail_id($post->ID), 'full', false);
		$retString .= '<div class="portfoliopin-item"><a href="'.$full_image[0].'" alt="" class="portfolio-image prettyphoto" rel="prettyPhoto[40]">'.get_the_post_thumbnail($post->ID, 'portfoliopin-item').'</a>';
		$retString .= '<div class="portfoliopin-item-label"><h3 class="portfoliopin-title" style="font-size:14px">'.the_title().'</h3></div></div>';
	}
	$retString .= '</div>';
	$retString .= '</div>';
	return $retString;
}
add_shortcode('pinterest_portfolio', 'pinterest_portfolio_shortcode');

    but the the_title() in $retString .= '<div class="portfoliopin-item-label"><h3 class="portfoliopin-title" style="font-size:14px">'.the_title().'</h3></div></div>'; didn’t concatenate well, the the_title() returns before the html strings…

    thus anyone have an idea about my case? thanks in advance
