Jasmine » Your shortcode function *echoes* something when it’s supposed to *return* content.

I am trying to use short code to display the post id inside a post, however when I use [id] it is showing the post ID at the start of the post of the post content, not where I have typed it.

The shortcode I am using, I have placed this in the plugin folder.

PLAIN TEXT

PHP:

function shortcode_id() {
$id = the_ID();
echo $id;
}
add_shortcode('id', 'shortcode_id');

What displays on the post page: 10741This is a good post. This is Post ID:

I also tried:

PLAIN TEXT

PHP:

echo the_ID();

but it doesn't work either.

Paul Menard » I had the same concern and proposed that instead/in parallel of [stuff] it should be but despite some traction the idea was rejected...
So basically, yes, when you disable a plugin that parses shortcodes, everybody see them. Quite lame.

So one thing I've wondered about with the new shortcode. Since this is created in the actual post content what safe guards are in place to prevent the unfiltered shortcode from being passed the the presentation layer or viewable user version?

This was my biggest issue with some of the earlier shortcode plugin for like SWF or youtube videos. I add the code and link to the video into my post. Then if later I deactivated the plugin or changed plugins the shortcode would be revealed to the user.
