• I’m sure there is some ridiculously simple way to do this, but I’m blanking.

    I have a shortcode that puts a frame around a div (it’s a custom shadow effect). It takes only one arg, the width of the div.

    My problem is that if I use the shortcode in the sidebar, and also use it in the content of a page, one of the ‘width’ values overrides the other.

    Here’s the code:

    function shadow_box_code($atts, $content = null) {
    	extract(shortcode_atts(array(
    		"width" => '0em'
    	), $atts));
    	return '<style type="text/css">.custom .box {width:'.$width.';}</style><div class="box"><div class="topleft"><div class="topright"><div>' . do_shortcode($content) . '</div></div></div><div class="bottomleft"><div class="bottomright"></div></div></div>';
    }
    add_shortcode("shadowBox", "shadow_box_code");

    In the sidebar, I’m calling the shortcode using:

    [shadowBox width="30em"]This is the content that goes in the div and can be anything.[/shadowBox]

    In the page content, I’m calling the shortcode using:

    [shadowBox width="10em"]This is the content that goes in the div and can be anything.[/shadowBox]

    Unfortunately both boxes show up with a width of 30em.

    Any ideas on how to clear this value between instances? Thank you!!

  • I was under the impression that shortcodes were only for post content. Try removing the one in the content and see if the one in the sidebar works.
