Insert Html Snippet [xyz-ihs] Shortcode
The ‘xyz-ihs’ shortcode from the Insert HTML Snippet plugin is designed to display specific content. The function ‘xyz_ihs_display_content’ retrieves and displays the content of a named snippet from the database, only if its status is active.
Shortcode: [xyz-ihs]
Parameters
Here is a list of all possible xyz-ihs shortcode parameters and attributes:
snippet– the name of the HTML snippet to be displayed
Examples and Usage
Basic example – In the following example, the shortcode is used to display a snippet named ‘example1’. The shortcode will fetch and display the HTML snippet stored under the name ‘example1’ in the database.
[xyz-ihs snippet="example1"]Advanced examples
The shortcode can be used to display different HTML snippets based on certain conditions. In the following example, the shortcode is used to display different HTML snippets based on the user’s role. If the user is an administrator, the snippet ‘adminSnippet’ is displayed. If the user is a subscriber, the snippet ‘subscriberSnippet’ is displayed. If the user does not have any of these roles, no snippet is displayed.
if (current_user_can('administrator')) {
echo do_shortcode('[xyz-ihs snippet="adminSnippet"]');
} elseif (current_user_can('subscriber')) {
echo do_shortcode('[xyz-ihs snippet="subscriberSnippet"]');
}
Another advanced usage of the shortcode is to display a snippet only if it is active. In the following example, the snippet ‘example2’ is displayed only if it is active. If the snippet is not active, no content is displayed.
$result = $wpdb->get_var($wpdb->prepare( "SELECT status FROM ".$wpdb->prefix."xyz_ihs_short_code WHERE title=%s", 'example2'));
if($result == 1) {
echo do_shortcode('[xyz-ihs snippet="example2"]');
}
