Short codes not working with SPPB

Asked by Scott 2 years ago Last activity 2 years ago

For the longest times I have never had success with any extensiohns shortcodes working with pagebuilder and this one is no diffeferent. I had started this thread privately 2 weeks ago with Support in hopes that the problem woud be resolved in good time or at least more communication. However, support has ghosted me.

In my case Tassos' Convertforms and shortcodes to a form. I have tried different why to use shortcodes in side SPBP and none were sucessfull. I was hopeing th eSPPB Modal element would word simply adding the shortcode but it fails to recognize.

Hi Scott.

Shortcodes never work in SPPB and this is the expected behavior. You have Engage Box on board. Just use it for Convert Forms. This is a great ligament. Right inside the Engage Box, you can choose the desired form from the Convert Forms by content editor.

Actually, shortcodes can be forced to work inside SPPB. It is required to change the small line of PHP code. But for some reason, the Joomshaper team has not done this for many years. I suppose this reason is significant.

That is the free version of Engage box and we as site creator should not need ot keep buying an extension in order to function. There is no reason why Shortcodes should not work with in SPPBV5.

JS devlopers/ owners have failed to accomdate a must have feature. I come from JoomlaShine products until they shutdown years ago and with in thier JSN Pagebuilder, shortcodes worked, so if they can do it so can Joomshaper.

JS Devloper please address this issue and make SP Pagebuilder the Platform it can be.

Hi Scott,

We informed about that "issue" in documenation. And I shared that solution at least 10x on the forum only this year... and I will do it again ;)

  1. Download and unzip:
    shortcode_html_unzip.zip

  2. Use FTP or File Manager (cPanel) and upload unzipped folder here:
    where-upload.png

Then in SPPB on the list of addons find "shortcode" name - that addon will allow you to use most of shortcodes from plugins.

Thanks @Pavel.

Hi Paul

Adding that code to the site is not aproblem and it's activted into SPPB, however using the short code for convertforms {convertforms 2} inserted into the SPPB Modal text area it fails to recognize the shortcode all it does is display the shortcode text in a popup box

I di read through th eforjms an dfound one whhc shows people have success with htis but it's failing. All I need want is for a short code to be add to the SPPB Modal element or button but niether work. Adding short code t otest page does not work
what am I missing

@Scott, for that we don't have solution.

But you can use extra installed POPOP Module that allows you to put other module inside.

For Joomla 3 there was free module: PopUp Aholic .

check if there is something similar for J4 version on JED. That's all I can help today.
