Create a Shortcode Plugin that uses ob_start() function to return data

[@jherbison]

A very powerful function that stores data in a buffer.

Thanks for the tutorial. Can you teach how to create dynamic fields in metaboxes? Like a repeater field where we can add or remove fields?

[@jherbison]

I think I have done some metabox fields. The issue with Metaboxes is that gutenberg gets rid of using the metaboxes. You can do a custom post type that doesn't use gutenberg and you can turn off gutenberg for all post types, but a repeating field in metabox isn't a bad idea. I will add it to the list.

[@Nikoko-yr2mc]

@@jherbison Thanks for the heads up. I don't want to use plugins so I wanted to learn to create a repeating fields.

[@ibrahimkahlil2469]

what about it? please explain.
function shortcode_func(){
ob_start();
echo 'Hello world';
return ob_get_clean();
}
add_shortcode('shortcode_name', 'shortcode_func');

[@KenLyle]

That works for a trivial example. I think the video is to show a more general solution where you could do something interesting like a database query.

Thanks for sharing this nugget! Just thinking outloud here, on the html.php page you create, can you reference a separate style sheet and potentially js file (i.e. link rel stylesheet...)? Or would you not want to do that since it is technically in the body of the document? or stick with inline CSS and script tags for JS?

[@jherbison]

You can do whatever you want really. You don’t even have to call in the get_header() and get_footer() if you don’t want to. You could call wp_header() and wp_footer() just to get all the other css and js without the themes header and footer. So yes, you can call in other css and js. I should expand on that video.

[@paulcodes]

I see. Thank you @@jherbison
