Autogenerate wordpress shortcodes using array? - php

Question

I was create a shortcode which automatically generate shortcodes with given array key and value. Function names does not generate dynamically.
Note: Array KEY = ShortcodeName and Value = Wordpress Option field.
add_shortcode("auto_gen", "auto_gen");
function auto_gen() {
$a = array(
"get_address" => "mg_admin_address",
"get_phone" => "mg_admin_phone",
"get_fax" => "mg_admin_fax",
"get_email" => "mg_admin_email",
"get_hrs_mon" => "mg_work_hrs_mon_frd",
"get_hrs_sat" => "mg_work_hrs_sat"
);
foreach ($a as $k => $v) {
if(has_shortcode($k)) {
echo "<br>Found: ". $k;
} else {
add_shortcode($k, $k. "_init");
function $k. "_init"() {
return get_option[$v, ''];
}
}
add_shortcode();
echo $k ." -> ". $v. "<br />";
}
}
There is any possible way to do this.
NOTE:
Here, get_address array key is a shortcode. And it is dynamically generate when It pass though loop. get_address is changable. If I change get_address with get_user_address then get_user_address generate generated. "get_address", "get_phone" are CHANGABLE at END LEVEL.
Developer also generate shortcodes to access created wp_options useing get_options, simply pushing elements in array. e.g. "shortcode_name" => "option_name"

Answer 1

The function add_shortcode has a third parameter that contains the current shortcode, so the same callback can be used multiple times:
$all = array( 'address', 'phone', 'fax', 'email', 'hrs_mon', 'hrs_sat' );
foreach ( $all as $s )
add_shortcode( "get_$s", 'general_shortcode' );
function general_shortcode( $atts, $content = '', $shortcode = '' )
{
switch( $shortcode )
{
case 'get_address':
$return = 'ADDRESS';
break;
case 'get_phone':
$return = 'PHONE';
break;
default:
$return = 'OTHER SHORTCODES';
break;
}
return $return;
}
Another possibility:
Class AllShortcodes{
private $all = array(
"get_address" => "mg_admin_address",
"get_phone" => "mg_admin_phone",
"get_fax" => "mg_admin_fax",
"get_email" => "mg_admin_email",
"get_hrs_mon" => "mg_work_hrs_mon_frd",
"get_hrs_sat" => "mg_work_hrs_sat"
);
public function __construct() {
foreach ( $this->all as $key => $value )
add_shortcode( $key, array( $this, 'general_shortcode' ) );
}
public function general_shortcode( $atts, $content = '', $shortcode = '' )
{
return $this->all[$shortcode];
}
}
$myShortcodes = new AllShortcodes;

Try following code:
add_shortcode("auto_gen", "auto_gen");
function auto_gen() {
$a = array(
"get_address" => "mg_admin_address",
"get_phone" => "mg_admin_phone",
"get_fax" => "mg_admin_fax",
"get_email" => "mg_admin_email",
"get_hrs_mon" => "mg_work_hrs_mon_frd",
"get_hrs_sat" => "mg_work_hrs_sat"
);
foreach ($a as $k => $v) {
if(has_shortcode($v,$k)) {
echo "<br>Found: ". $k;
} else {
add_shortcode($k, $k."_init");
$func =$k."_init";
$func($v);
}
echo $k ." -> ". $v. "<br />";
}
}
function get_address_init ($v) {
return get_option($v, '');
}
function get_phone_init ($v) {
return get_option($v, '');
}
function get_fax_init ($v) {
return get_option($v, '');
}
function get_email_init ($v) {
return get_option($v, '');
}
function get_hrs_mon_init ($v) {
return get_option($v, '');
}
function get_hrs_sat_init ($v) {
return get_option($v, '');
}
