php - Wordpress- A plugin that displays HTML content (Database) with a shortcode -
i run project has database in google sheets. need display information in interactive tables.
i used sheetrock.js , handlebar.js (i wrote code , works want to). have wordpress website , want make plugin type shortcode , table coded appears on page.
i have separate html file embedded styling (under <style></style>
tags, no external css file). file has html boiler plate, , in <head></head>
there links sheetrock.js, handlebar.js, , bootstrap.
as far understand, php can't display html tags? tried doing following...
<?php function showico() { ?> <!doctype html> <head> <!-- cdn links --> </head> <style> <!-- styling here, , know, it's not dry --> </style> <body> <!-- content want display (it has <script> tags, , variables) --> </body> </html> <?php return showico(); } add_shortcode ('add_ico','showico'); ?>
perhaps doing wrong shortcode doesn't display content @ all. need make work?
you're returning function, cause recursion.
try:
<?php function showico() { ob_start(); ?> <!doctype html> <head> cdn links </head> <style> styling here, , know, it's not dry </style> <body> content want display (it has <script> tags, , variables) </body> </html><?php return ob_get_clean(); } add_shortcode ('add_ico','showico'); ?>
