 * I am using toolset to build a site I already have a form that allows the client
   to enter IMDB Name.
 * It is working just fine to create a link to IMDB:
    [IMDB](https://www.imdb.com/name/[types field='imdb-name'][/types]/)
 * But it is not working within your shortcode. I want the client to only enter 
   the IMDB name once and not rely on them to do a full shortcode.
 * This is what I have:
    [imdb show=”transparent” data=”detailed”][types field=’
   imdb-name’][/types][/imdb]
 * This is what is showing up in manage cache as the ID:
    [types field=\’imdb-name\’][/
   types]
 * Any ideas on how to get this working?

 * Technically you cannot write shortcode in a shortcode. That’s not possible. It
   can be possible if they are from same plugin. But you can send email a demonstration
   from your web site(pluginpress.net@gmail.com), so, may be I can find a solution
   and add something next update.
