You made my day :-) </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/counter-1#post-178098 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 11:02:43 +0000 David Peralty 178098@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>The way I'm showing you is the same as what you are looking for, but you can still use the shortcode function that Chris created without any modification. So you add that to your functions.php file. So you have the function that will do the work. </p> <p>Next you want to add a PHP call in the header file, which would be the second example used on the link I sent you. </p> <p>So in your header.php file you would have:<br /> <pre><code>&lt;?php echo do_shortcode(&#39;[donations form=37]&#39;); ?&gt;</code></pre> <p>That would be the PHP "get" you are looking for. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/counter-1#post-177763 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 04:36:10 +0000 Tobe 177763@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi David,<br /> Thank you for pointing out to that link. Shortcodes look easy when I use WYSIWYG, but as for coding it is confusing me. I just start to have some understanding in php, but addind/creating shortcodes is still not clear for me. For example, I checked the examples in the link you provided, and it just don't make sense to me. (yeah I am such a nooby)</p> <p>Is there a way to just add another function, (not to a create shortcode) and an php get command (to call that function) which can be added in the header? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/counter-1#post-177135 Tue, 19 Mar 2013 17:00:21 +0000 David Peralty 177135@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>You can run shortcodes outside of the WordPress loop/body by using PHP. Read their documentation about that here: <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/do_shortcode" rel="nofollow">http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/do_shortcode</a> </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/counter-1#post-176955 Tue, 19 Mar 2013 13:12:21 +0000 Tobe 176955@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi Chris,</p> <p>You created a lovely code to create a counter see : <a href="http://pastebin.com/NSsVZgt8" rel="nofollow">http://pastebin.com/NSsVZgt8</a></p> <p>If I am correct this is a function to create a shortcode.<br /> I would like to have that counter in my header (header.php) and (shortcodes don't work there)</p> <p>As far as I understand I need to add the function in function.php of my theme, and some other line of PHP in my header.php.</p> <p>Can you please share an altered code to be used in the header.php?</p> <p>Thanks in advance!</p> <p>Tobe </p>
