# Make a dynamic shortcode

 * I have a plugin to be inserted on a page simply asks me to add a shortcode in
   the page.
    Ex: [PluginName dl=3 tpl=8]
 * It works very well but I wish this tag changes according to the url of the page.
   
   Eg [http://something.com/page/?dl=2](http://something.com/page/?dl=2) show [PluginName
   dl=2 tpl=8] [http://something.com/page/?dl=3](http://something.com/page/?dl=3)
   show [PluginName dl=3 tpl=8]
 * I thought of doing it via the template page where I could easily retrieve the
   variable in the url with a php function. Where I block is how to call the plugin,
   passing it the right variable? Is there a way to know what php function is called
   by the shortcode?
 * Thank you for your help,
