AMP [amp_playlist] Shortcode

The AMP Plugin shortcode is a versatile tool that pulls data based on the attributes passed. It checks the ‘type’ of data and returns either an audio or video playlist. This code uses the ‘shortcode’ function to determine if the ‘type’ attribute is ‘audio’ or ‘video’. If ‘audio’, it returns an audio playlist; if ‘video’, it returns a video playlist.

Shortcode: [amp_shortcode]

Parameters

Here is a list of all possible amp_shortcode shortcode parameters and attributes:

• type – defines the media type to be either ‘audio’ or ‘video’
• data – contains specific settings related to the media

Examples and Usage

Basic example – A simple usage of the shortcode to display an audio playlist.

[amp_playlist type="audio" id="123" /]

Advanced examples

Use the shortcode to display a video playlist by referencing the type and ID. The playlist will load based on the provided ID.

[amp_playlist type="video" id="456" /]

Another advanced usage of the shortcode can be to display a specific audio playlist with additional parameters such as autoplay and loop. If these attributes are set to true, the audio will start playing automatically once the page loads and will loop once it ends.

[amp_playlist type="audio" id="789" autoplay="true" loop="true" /]

PHP Function Code

In case you have difficulties debugging what causing issues with [amp_shortcode] shortcode, check below the related PHP functions code.
