I'm using a custom WordPress shortcode to add a modal to my content. The content of the modal is based on a Custom Post Type.
The shortcode looks like this:
[term value="Custom Link Title" id="123"]
The value=""
argument is for the modal link in the content. The id=""
is the ID of the Custom Post Type.
Inside the modal dialog window I display the content from the Custom Post Type based on it's ID.
The problem is, that the link and the modal dialog are outputted togehter.
And because of the <div>
of the modal, WordPress closes every <p>
before it. And now there is a unwanted line break after the modal link.
Is there any way to display the modal link in the content area and put the modal dialog (the <div>
) in the footer of the page?
Here's my shortcode:
add_shortcode('btn', 'bs_button');
// [term value="" id=""]
function shortcode_term($atts) {
extract(shortcode_atts(array(
'id' => '',
'value' => '',
), $atts));
$modal_term = '<a href="#termModal_'.$id.'" class="" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#termModal_'.$id.'">'.$value.'</a>';
$modal_dialog = '<div class="modal fade" id="termModal_'.$id.'" tabindex="-1" role="dialog" aria-labelledby="termModal_'.$id.'_Title" aria-hidden="true">
<div class="modal-dialog modal-dialog-centered" role="document">
<div class="modal-content">
<div class="modal-header">
<h5 class="modal-title" id="termModal_'.$id.'_Title">'.get_the_title($id).'</h5>
<button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal" aria-label="Close"><i class="icon-remove"></i></button>
</div>
<div class="modal-body">
'.get_post_field('post_content', $id).'
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>';
return $modal_term.$modal_dialog;
}
add_shortcode('term', 'shortcode_term');
It would be nice if $modal_term
stays in the content and $modal_dialog
goes to the footer of the page.
Or is there any other way to prevent WordPress from adding a </p>
before the modal dialog?
Here's whats happening in the frontend:
<p style="text-align: center;">noraml text from the editor <a href="#termModal_123" class="" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#termModal_123">Custom Link Title</a></p>
<div class="modal fade" id="termModal_123" tabindex="-1" role="dialog" aria-labelledby="termModal_123_Title" aria-hidden="true">
<div class="modal-dialog modal-dialog-centered" role="document">
<div class="modal-content">
<div class="modal-header">
<h5 class="modal-title" id="termModal_123_Title">Term Title</h5>
<button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal" aria-label="Close"><i class="icon-remove"></i></button>
</div>
<div class="modal-body">
<h2>Head</h2>
Term Content
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
Rest of the normal Text from the editor
The </p>
after the <a href="">..</a>
souldn't be there.
