Text Widget : Content appearing Before widget tittle

    Hi,

    To include the Facebook/Twitter share buttons in text widgets, I created a shortcode.
    When I put that short code in the text widget, the title (“partager”) appears before the buttons … strange …

    url : http://www.voirleloup.com
    (in the footer right column)
    It is not a css problem as the div containing the buttons is before the div containing the tittle …

    Any idea ?
    thanks
    ——————————————————-
    shortcode code :

    /*-----------------------------------------------------*/
/* share
/*-----------------------------------------------------*/
function guigui_share($atts, $content = null) {
$output = get_template_part('template-part-social-share','childtheme');
return $output;
}
add_shortcode('share', 'guigui_share');

    ————————————————-
    template-part-social-share code :

    <div class="tt-share clearfix">
<?php
global $ttso;
$blog_retweet = $ttso->st_blog_retweet;
$blog_fb_like = $ttso->st_blog_fb_like;
$blog_pinterest = $ttso->st_blog_pinterest;

if($blog_retweet == "true") {
?>
<span class="retweet-share">
<script src="http://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<a href="http://twitter.com/share" class="twitter-share-button"
data-url="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"
data-via="<?php bloginfo('name'); ?>"
data-text="<?php the_title(); ?>"
data-related="<?php bloginfo('name'); ?>"
data-count="horizontal">Tweet
</span>
<?php } if($blog_fb_like == "true") { ?>

<span class="facebook-share">
<iframe src="http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=<?php echo urlencode(get_permalink(get_The_ID())); ?>&layout=button_count&show_faces=false&&action=like&colorscheme=light"></iframe>
</span>
<?php } if($blog_pinterest == "true") { ?>

<span class="pinterest-share">
<?php $pinterestimage = wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id( $post->ID ), 'full' ); ?>
ID)); ?>&media=<?php echo $pinterestimage[0]; ?>&description=<?php the_title(); ?>" class="pin-it-button" count-layout="horizontal">Pin It
</span>
<?php } ?>
</div><!-- END tt-share -->

    Sorry, I made a mistake at the beginning of my post :
    the title (“partager”) appears after the content of the widget (the share buttons)

    caused by the fact that ‘get_template_part()’ does not return a string, but fires the template directly;
    you might need to use output buffering;

    try for example:

    function guigui_share($atts, $content = null) {
ob_start();
get_template_part('template-part-social-share','childtheme');
$output = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();
return $output;
}

    Thanks Alchymyth !
    I understand my mistake (that’s the first step.)
    I replaced my version of the content by yours.
    The shortcode appears as [share] … and is not interpreted any more …
    Here is the html I get in the text widget where I put the shortcode …

    <br>
<br>
[share]

    Thanks anyway … i’m closer to the solution

    have you kept this line:

    add_shortcode('share', 'guigui_share');

    ?

    because it was not actual part of the function, I did not repeat it in my code section.

    Great ! The share buttons are there !
    Cool, but there is a new issue :
    Some <br.> and <p>tags appeared and the layout is messed up.
    This problem appears with the ob_get_contents() solution and not with the one I used before you (kindly) helped me …
    How do these appear ? … mystery (at least for me.)

    You still can see the footer here :

    BTW, I tried to opt in and out the ‘automatically generate paragraphers’ of the text widget
    No effect …

    … one more strange thing :
    No matter what text i type before or after the [share] shortcode in the text widget, it won’t be displayed on the page …
    The only thing we have is the 2 share buttons …

    well man, I gave up.
    Down with the text widget, down with the shortcode.
    I simply modified the footer and it took me 5 minutes …
    The result is perfect although the method is not elegant …
    Thanks a lot anyway for your help.

    Alchymyth, your solution did work for me. I had a similar problem: I wrote a function that contained a loop, put it in a shortcode, and put the shortcode in a widget. It worked, except the widget title was under the loop output. Adding the ‘output buffer’ (whatever that it) fixed it.

    My function is:

    function keyshots_widget() {
	ob_start();
	$custom_query = new WP_Query('cat=15&posts_per_page=1');
	while($custom_query->have_posts()) : $custom_query->the_post();  ?>
		<p><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></p>
	<?php endwhile;
	$output = ob_get_contents();
	ob_end_clean();
	return $output;
	wp_reset_postdata(); // reset the query
	}
add_shortcode("keyshots-widget", "keyshots_widget");

    @photocurio

    in your case, you could have used string concatenation;

    example:

    function keyshots_widget() {
	$output = '';
	$custom_query = new WP_Query('cat=15&posts_per_page=1');
	while($custom_query->have_posts()) : $custom_query->the_post();  ?>
	$output .= '<p><a href="' . get_permalink($post->ID) . '">' . get_the_title() . '</a></p>';
	<?php endwhile;
	wp_reset_postdata(); // reset the query
	return $output;
	}
add_shortcode("keyshots-widget", "keyshots_widget");

    Hey, I like it! That’s simpler.
