How to Create Custom Shortcode in Email Customizer for WooCommerce

Shortcodes in WordPress are code shortcuts that help you add dynamic content in WordPress posts, pages, and sidebar widgets. They are displayed inside square brackets like this:

[myshortcode]

This is where the Shortcode API comes in.

Basically, it allows developers to add their code inside a function and then register that function with WordPress as a shortcode, so for creating the dynamic custom shortcode, you need basic knowledge of PHP.

1. Go to the currently active theme folder then create a folder:

• email-customizer-for-woocommerce-with-drag-drop-builder
  • ec-woo-mail-helper

2. Go to our plugin’s folder then navigate ec-woo-mail-helper and copy custom-code.php from that folder ( which you created in step 1 ) 

After doing the above steps it should look like : 

• your active theme folder
  • email-customizer-for-woocommerce-with-drag-drop-builder
    • ec-woo-mail-helper
      • custom-code.php

IMPORTANT NOTE: 

• After adding the custom shortcode, you will not see the result during customizing,  you can see result the only real testing or email preview mode
• If you will edit in directly plugin folder, during upgrading plugin, you will lose changes 

Example 

For creating [ec_woo_custom_code type=”my-shortcode”] you need to use below code

 if(isset($attr['type']) && $attr['type'] == 'my-shortcode'){
    printf( __( "This text added from custom shortcode"));
 }

Through custom-code.php you can access :

WooCommerce order.  

Required variable : $order
