[Resolved] custom shortcode

[Jens]

I have a custom post type “News” that contains three custom fields (video_id, video_start, video_end). These are used to display video snippets. This can be done with a hook and the attached code.

<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<iframe frameborder="0" scrolling="no" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" type="text/html" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/<?php echo get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), 'video_id', true ); ?>?autoplay=1&fs=0&controls=0&iv_load_policy=3&showinfo=0&rel=0&cc_load_policy=0&start=<?php echo get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), 'video_start', true ); ?>&end=<?php echo get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), 'video_ende', true ); ?>"></iframe></div></figure>

How can I achieve the same with a custom shortcode [video_block_cpt_news] ? I need this shortcode to use with GenerateBlocks.

Thank you for your suggestions.

Hi there,

this doc explains creating a shortcode that uses object buffering:

https://docs.generatepress.com/article/creating-a-shortcode/

For your needs you should be able to do this:

add_shortcode( 'video_block_cpt_news', function() {
    ob_start();
    
    ?>
    <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio">
        <div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
            <iframe frameborder="0" scrolling="no" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" type="text/html" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/<?php echo get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), 'video_id', true ); ?>?autoplay=1&fs=0&controls=0&iv_load_policy=3&showinfo=0&rel=0&cc_load_policy=0&start=<?php echo get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), 'video_start', true ); ?>&end=<?php echo get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), 'video_ende', true ); ?>"></iframe>
        </div>
    </figure>
    <?php

    return ob_get_clean();
} );
