It looks like the relevant code starts on **line 152** in ** ExportToHtmlTemplate.php**. Is it possible to include this in a custom shortcode like the one above? * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Contact Form DB] [Plugin: Contact Form 7 to Database Extension] IF statement with [cfdb-html] shortcode](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-contact-form-7-to-database-extension-if-statement-with-cfdb-html-shortcode/) * Thread Starter [Recon](https://wordpress.org/support/users/recon/) * (@recon) * [14 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-contact-form-7-to-database-extension-if-statement-with-cfdb-html-shortcode/#post-2087002) * Actually, it wasn’t the `wpautop` option that fixed this problem with the `[cfdb- html]` shortcode. I believe it was a [separate fix](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/text-area-formatting?replies=23#post-2175758). Hopefully the same fix for custom shortcodes isn’t too difficult to add. * Thanks again! * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Contact Form DB] [Plugin: Contact Form 7 to Database Extension] IF statement with [cfdb-html] shortcode](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-contact-form-7-to-database-extension-if-statement-with-cfdb-html-shortcode/) * Thread Starter [Recon](https://wordpress.org/support/users/recon/) * (@recon) * [14 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-contact-form-7-to-database-extension-if-statement-with-cfdb-html-shortcode/#post-2087001) * Great, thanks Michael! That works great 🙂 * I have one more question. When using the `[cfdb-html]` shortcode, fields containing line breaks were displayed correctly. This was fixed when you introduced the ` wpautop` option. * With my own shortcode, this no longer works. I tried adding `wpautop="true"` and `wpautop="false"` but neither worked. How can I re-enable this with my own shortcode? * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Contact Form DB] [Plugin: Contact Form 7 to Database Extension] IF statement with [cfdb-html] shortcode](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-contact-form-7-to-database-extension-if-statement-with-cfdb-html-shortcode/) * Thread Starter [Recon](https://wordpress.org/support/users/recon/) * (@recon) * [14 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-contact-form-7-to-database-extension-if-statement-with-cfdb-html-shortcode/#post-2086997) * Thanks for the link. I think that I could figure out how to make a custom shortcode to display a value only if the value exists in the db, but how could I use this inside a regular [cfdb-html] shortcode? * Would I need to recreate the entire [cfdb-html] shortcode to achieve this? Using a shortcode within a shortcode wouldn’t work, right? * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Contact Form DB] [Plugin: Contact Form 7 to Database Extension] IF statement with [cfdb-html] shortcode](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-contact-form-7-to-database-extension-if-statement-with-cfdb-html-shortcode/) * Thread Starter [Recon](https://wordpress.org/support/users/recon/) * (@recon) * [14 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-contact-form-7-to-database-extension-if-statement-with-cfdb-html-shortcode/#post-2086969) * Do you have an idea as to when this will be available? * This is a great plugin and, for my needs, this is the only missing feature. * Thanks for all the help so far. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Contact Form DB] Text Area Formatting](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/text-area-formatting/) * [Recon](https://wordpress.org/support/users/recon/) * (@recon) * [14 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/text-area-formatting/page/2/#post-2090410) * Fantastic.
