Using Shortcodes In SPPB (from OS Downloads)

CW

Do I have to turn some kind of plugin on in SPPB, in order to sucessfully use shortcodes from other extensions?

I have shortcodes for an extension (OS Downloads) that generates a labeled button generating a file download, in exchange for a customer's email. The shortcode works perfectly in any Joomla article, generating the button and functionality as desired. But when plugged into SPPB, it just displays the shortcode text, and not the button.

I have tried these shortcodes in SPPB with a Raw Text Add-on, and also as a Text-Box Add-on. With both types of add-ons, I tried copying , both from the "Editor" and "Code" displays from the Joomla article where the codes work, into the same "Editor" and "Code" displays in the Text Add-On in SPPB. Same result every time. Just the text displayed - no button. :-(

You can see the test page in SPPB where I've tried this. https://morninglightmusic.org/component/sppagebuilder/?view=page&id=17&Itemid=0

In contrast, the same exact shortcode works great on a Joomla page, as displayed here: https://morninglightmusic.org/component/content/article/53-lyrics/lyrics-original-singles/259-osd-shortcode-test-on-joomla-page?Itemid=128.

It also works great within standard Joomla tables on standard Joomla pages, as displayed in the blue "Descargar" (Download) buttons here: https://morninglightmusic.org/recordings/canciones But, in SPPB, nothing but text. How do I correct this?

I googled this and found some responses that suggested some extensions require a plugin to handle shortcodes properly. So I wondered if that's the case here as well. Hope you can help solve this issue. -- Carrie

Or you can use addon that I sharedon forum many times:

  1. Download zip file:

shortcode_html_unzip.zip

  1. Unzip it, and then use FTP tool or File Manager and upload here

yes it works in SPPB 3.x and SPPB 5.x

How do you implement this. I tried to install the plugin I get a Warning JInstaller: :Install: Can't find XML setup file.

I did upload the two files to the addons folder and that didn't do anything either.]

Please advise.

Sorry, but Unzipped folder must be transfered to components\com_sppagebuilder\addons

It works, if you will do exactly what is shown. It was used by over 50+ forum users in many projects.

I was mistaken about installing it. I did upload the files. it didn't work. It's irrelevant if there is no support. Thank you for your reply though.

Have a great day.

No problem.

This is my private addon. Shared for Free. It works in 99% cases in SPPB 5 Pro/Lite. I tested with serverals plugins.

Alternative, you can always use Joomla Custom Module etc.


If your extra installed compoment has module already - it's better to use its module by our Module addon.

It works well but I try to make it kind of dynamic. I mean that I use it in a single product page easystore and as for each product it would load a different module. So in the short code, I put the modules for all the product. And I assign each module to a menu (through menu assignment). But it doesn't work; it loads all the modules. It doesn't take into account the menu assignments.

In SPPB you have Module addon for that purpose.

My addon was only for shortcodes from plugins.

Modules can be "called" by ID, position name etc. check default features.

I know but I try to find a workaround as I don't have answer to this thread https://www.joomshaper.com/forum/question/34579

Also, using the joomla module addon doesn't help as it doen't take into account the menu assignment neither.

Hello Paul, I use also SIGE galleries and this addon works as long as I insert only one SIGE gallery into a SPPB page. But if I insert more than one it does not load anymore the galleries and sometimes the layout crashes when clicking on a thumbnail of the SIGE gallery. Further the css styles of the SIGE gallery do not work also not at all. It is a pity.

I have this issue in Joomla 5.2.2 and SPPB 5.4.4 . In Joomla 3.10 it worked without problem (and without any tricks with such addons). I have to build my homepage from scratch because my template of Joomla 3.10 can not be migrated to a newer Joomla version. But now this issue with the SIGE gallery raised and this is a real problem for me, because I use it quite frequently.

P.S. I think the problem occurs when using the "Accordion" plugin in SPPB and then set multiple galleries (shortcodes) in different sections of the accordion. Then the "Shortcode" addon fails, with the solution via custom modules it's the same.

Sorry to heard that. We suggest using Gallery addon.

Current version, allows you to import photos, you don't have to add img one by one.

Yes, I will now use the Gallery of SPPB. This means I will loose all titles and descriptions, but it is too much work to set them. Would be a cool feature if SPPB could read the metadata from the captions.txt as SIGE does. Or from .json files like JAlbum does (this works for me since 2006, I never loose the titles regardless of updates/migrations...).

Hello Paul,

since I have to use the SPPB gallery: I wonder if there is no swipe option on mobile phones? The user must navigate via clicking on the picture in the gallery, is no swipe possible? Thanks in advance.

Indeed, it won't be easy to migrate alt and titles. Our tool was built/developed for webmasters who use it as main and first gallery tool. So I cannot help with that with simple "click here or here".

Probably that feature wasn't added yet, only slideshow has it. But I fully agree with you , it's should be implemented.

I already asked our developer to consider that view/feature.


Sorry for the delay in answering, but I had time off during the Christmas period, like most working people in the EU.

Our developer also agree with me/you, so that swipe feature should be included in January/Feb update.

Dear Paul, now we have March and I updated SP Pagebuilder to the newest version. But the swipe function isn't there, this is a pity. Further it would be a really necessary function to give the images titles. Is there hope that this will be implemented?

  1. Gallery addon will be improved in 5.5.3 update, next week I should get BETA version for testing.
  2. About Shortcodes to load module(s), they can be used in Text addon already, more info about you can find in documenation in that addon guide.
