 * how can i add the sns or hoops “Scripts n Styles” shortcodes into the mail template.
   i have tried, to sns in the message.” [hoops name=\”include-some-file-or-code”\]”;
   and sends the plain shortcode instead of the content.
 * thanks

 * I dont think I understand what you are trying to do, kindly elaborate with a 
   use-case.

 * i have installed the [sns plugin](http://wordpress.org/plugins/scripts-n-styles/),
   and have created hoops ([hoops name=test]), with extra auction sale terms and
   conditions, which i use front-end but also in other places the payment email 
   for the bidwinner or buyknow buyer (that one i resent manualy), but the wp hook
   is missing. luckily **i have found a solution** by using wordpress php do_shortcode();
 *  in the plugin editor (Editing ultimate-auction/email-template.php)
 * i now have;
 * >  $paypal_link .= “&bn=PP%2dBuyNowBF%3abtn_buynowCC_LG%2egif%3aNonHostedGuest”;
   > 
   > add_filter(‘widget_text’, ‘do_shortcode’); $extraline = do_shortcode (‘[hoops
   > name=test]’); $message .= ” yeah yeah hi some thing for you to pay and read
   > these conditions and terms BR> BR> <hr>’.$extraline.’ BR> and have a nice day
   > and such”;
 * and now i can use shortcodes too 🙂 if i need to update those extra terms for
   new buyers, this way i dont need to edit 2 files with the same text on different
   places, all i wil need do is edit the hoop. saves me time and error 🙂
 * try it, and you will see what i mean.
