Passing URL for shortcode

Resolved

(@renatoornelas)

Hi,

Great plugin!

I had a page with several items i’d like to share. I made a change to the shortcode code, so you can pass the url attribute to set the url shared, for example:

[ngfb buttons=”facebook, linkedin, twitter” url=”http://www.uol.com.br”%5D

Lol! Excellent!

I’m surprised you found your way around my code — it’s fairly clean and tight, but I don’t use many comments. 😉

The only change I’ve made is from this:
```
'url' => $this->ngfb->util->get_sharing_url( 'notrack', null, $use_post )
```
to this:
```
'url' => $this->ngfb->util->get_sharing_url( 'notrack', null, true )
```
That last argument is to force the use the $post permalink instead of the current URL — essential if the buttons appear on each entry on an index page, and since shortcodes don’t appear anywhere outside of a post (like in a widget, for example), then it can always be true.

Your change has been added to the next version.

Thanks,

js.

I made another change..

I discovered that i cannot pass a shortcode as a parameter, so i had to use the $content.

I’m using this way:

[ngfb buttons=”facebook, linkedin, twitter”][job_url][/ngfb]

I didn’t know the correct place, so for now I used:
```
extract( shortcode_atts( array(
                                'buttons' => null,
                                'css_class' => 'button',
                                'css_id' => 'shortcode',
                                'url' => do_shortcode($content),
                        ), $atts ) );
```

Found a solution for now (if there’s content to the shortcode, it overrides the url attribute):
```
if($content) $url = do_shortcode($content);
```
after
```
$html = '';
```

Well, I think there’s probably a more elegant way to do this…

Download and install the latest DEV version from http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/nextgen-facebook.zip.

This will give you access to a new filter called ‘ngfb_shortcode’. You should be able to use it like this:
```
add_filter( 'ngfb_shortcode', 'my_ngfb_shortcode_filter', 10, 2 );

function my_ngfb_shortcode_filter( $atts = array(), $content = null ) {
        /*
         * manipulate / extract content here
         */
        $atts['url'] = $content;        // use content text as sharing url
        return $atts;
}
```
FYI – Filters are a Pro version feature, but I’ve left this one in the Free version for you (until v5.4 is released).
