Lightbox Ultimate – embed shortcode in php file?

[isonychia]

I have an image embedded below my left navigation item on my onlinestore php page.

I need that image to open a new window to another php page. i was able to do this ON A PAGE but cannot get it to work inside the php file.

The problem is the shortcode doesn’t work inside the php page.

How can i do this? I hope I can as I bought this plugin for that main purpose.

Thanks,

iso

Most shortcodes have corresponding PHP function calls. You could also use the do_shortcode function to call any shortcode from PHP.

Hi, Lightbox Ultimate shortcodes are based on the WordPress shortcode guideline. So if you have a php script which is not running under WordPress you can’t expect the shortcode to work.

If your php script is running under WordPress you can easily execute a shortcode by passing it through the do_shortcode filter. For example:

<?php echo do_shortcode('[wp_lightbox_anchor_text_display_external_page link="http://www.example.com/my-test-page" width="640" height="480" title="title goes here" text="click here to open the external page"]'); ?>
