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.

Pavel, what is the php that needs ot be changed, I'll test it out

ThEngageBox Free does not work with in a SPPB V5 on page load

See center page th emodle does not display the convertform

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:

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.

Thank you Paul, I'l lgi ve it a go

Danke, ich werde es versuchen. :)

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.

Paul the short codes do not work with the laterst version of SPPB see screen video https://youtu.be/OhPpemZTe9g

its a hidden video, not public

It depends on used plugin. Becuase it still works for example with ConvertForms, I used {convertforms 2} inside shortcode addon, and SPPB Pro 5.1.9 displayed the form:

Besides I used shortcode addon on few of mine websites, and so far all worked. My video as evidence probably will not help you.

Also, I would try with another plugin shortcode at your place, for a trial. Maybe classic to display a module etc.

THIS IS NOT OFFCIAL ADDON, so I cannot provide you any code support for it. This is my private addon, out of the goodness of my heart I am sharing it. Everyone uses it on their own account & risk.

Pavel, what is the php that needs ot be changed, I'll test it out

Hi Scott.

Here is the line (changed in Row Html addon) that allows using shortcodes.

As for Modal Addon, there the code is different and I could not find a place where it can be used (I do not have enough knowledge for this).

But if you will install Modules Anywhere (from RegularLabs) you'll be able to use its shortcodes in Modal Addon to call any module. Convert Forms PRO (not sure about Free) can be published as module , not only via shortcode.

EngageBox Free

Yes, EngageBox Free completely useless if you do not have js skills.

I've been buying for many years Convert Forms PRO and EngageBox PRO. They are worth every center spent.

Hi Scott.

I had free time and I was able to figure it out. If you or someone else is still interesting.

So the solution for Modal Addon. Create Modal addon override and use this line

JHtml::_('content.prepare', $modal_content_text);

in site.php. Then the shortcodes will work there.

This is way beyond my capabilities, thank you very much for the addtinal help. it is truly appreciated.

I knuckled under and purchased EngageBox pro.
