I have a file a.php where I have defined <a href="abc.com/page_id=11?key=123">link</a>
I have created a custom template custom.php and created a page at wordpress backend that has page_id=11
So, from a.php I am sending a user to custom.php with the help of page_id and then fetching the key=123
This is working fine..
The only problem is that I am not sure about page_id = 11.
Is it possible to get the same using the shortcode so as I can avoid using the page_id in my template file.
Function to create a shortcode
to get the page id
function id_shortcode( $atts ) {
// extract the variables, if there is no ID attr, the default is 1
extract( shortcode_atts( array(
'id' => 1
), $atts ) );
// set page id to either the id attr which defaults to one.
$page_id = $id;
$page_data = get_page( $page_id );
return
}
// shortcode registration
add_shortcode( 'getid', 'id_shortcode' );
Then you can simply use [getid]
shortcode
on your page to get that page id
I hope i have understood and solved your problem...
And you can call this shortcode also in your template file
<?php echo do_shortcode("[getid]"); ?>
