 * Hi..
 * I love your plugin … I think it deserves to be on codecanoyn.
 * I have a feature request though.
 * Rename the beginning of the shortcode, and also add few other names…
    Here is
   more details on what im trying todo.
 * Im developing a website for a large company that wants to replicate some data
   like phone numbers and staff list..
 * So I created ACF and tell them to use your custom shortcode to display the phone-
   number.
    That way , they can change the phone number on one location , and your
   plugin will do the rest on displaying correct phone number on all pages. Very
   neat…
 * Well.. The thing is , I want to use it for staff members list.
 * So I created a new post type with ACF for staff…
 * I would like to have a separeate shortcode for the staff , and I want it to just
   look for items within this post type…
    I want this to be as easy as possible 
   for this company.. No post_id or anything… (would be great to be able to write
   the position instead of post_id
 * Example for staff shortcode :
    [staff position=CEO field=phone]
 * Example for opening hours :
    [openinghours department=sales field=openinghours]
 * Is this possible with your current setup ?
    Im willing to pay you for this feature
   request if this is not included in , if possible ?
 * Please help

 * Hello,
 * In the latest plugin update, I added an optional module called Meta Shortcodes.
   This creates a post type called `shortcode`, with which you can create a shortcode
   that runs other shortcodes..!
 * You can refer to the documentation, under Optional -> Meta Shortcodes.
 * Here is an example for a staff shortcode:
 * 1. Create a post with the title _staff_. This creates a `[staff]` shortcode.
 * 2. The code will depend on your content structure, but the post content could
   be something like:
 *     ```
       [loop type=staff taxonomy=position term={POSITION}]
         [field {FIELD}]
       [/loop]
       ```
   
 * As you see, the shortcode parameters are passed as `{TAG}`, an uppercased version
   of the parameter name.
 * I think this feature is flexible enough to achieve what you need. I did spend
   a couple hours on it, and if it’s for a commercial project, a donation would 
   be nice. 🙂 There is a PayPal link at the bottom of the documentation page.

 * That’s a pretty cool feature, Eliot!
 * Before, I always created a new post type (template) and then used a shortcode
   like `[content type=template name=post-slug field=html]` to display the shortcodes/
   content.
 * This new feature is much more user friendly! 🙂

 * Hi Peter,
 * I’m glad you like the new feature. 🙂 I put it together quickly based on the 
   request, but now that it’s there, I can also think of different situations where
   it might be useful.
 * To be honest, I’m a bit embarrassed by how big the plugin is growing. My ideal
   is to build things small/independent and compose them together. For this new 
   feature too, I wondered if I should make it a separate add-on; but, I thought
   other people could benefit from it, so I included it. Making it an optional module
   is a good solution I think, so it can be enabled only when it’s used.
 * Anyway, thanks for your support!
