Can you either create a Gist or post your code to something like http://pastebin.com/ and post the URL here so I can view the code please?

If its returning the string it sounds like there is no parser for the shortcode.

Your parse function is different from your hook:

register_new_tony_shortcodes_parser and register_new_driversed_shortcodes_parser

The reason the shortcode won’t work with that setup is $data will never be an instance of EE_Event_List (there is no EE_Event_List class) remove the instanceof check:

&& $data instanceof EE_Event_List

And fix the hook function name, then that shortcode will parse within the event list shortcodes.

Can you also run do_shortcode() within your shortcodes to trigger one of your shortcodes?

No you can’t, do_shortcode() runs on standard shortcodes and EE message shortcodes are not apart of the WP Shortcodes.

Any EE data you need can but pulled in using the $data variable, it will be different depending on the shortcode your are parsing but for EE_Eent_list_shortcodes data will be passed a EE_Messages_Addressee object.

You’ll need to go through and find the data available from the EE_Messages_Addressee class and call whatever it is you need from there.

You can use Kint and use d($data); within your shortcode, then preview the message to see the output. You’ll find multiple different objects available from within $data.

For example on your shortcode you can use:

$primary_reg = $data instanceof EE_Messages_Addressee ? $data->primary_reg_obj : NULL;

if ($primary_reg instanceof EE_Registration) {

	$primary_attendee = $primary_reg->attendee();

	$first_name = $attendee->fname();

}

To display the first name of the primary registrant.

Can I ask why you are using the event list shortcodes? Where do you want the output to be and what details do you want to use?
