EE_ANWSER shortcode problem

I am trying to display the answer to a custom question using EE_ANSWER shortcode but I am struggling with a problem that I can’t figure out.

If i use this code defining the attendee id, it works fine.
$attid = ‘[att_id]’;
$custom_question_1 = do_shortcode(‘[EE_ANSWER q=”11″ a=”25″]’);
echo $custom_question_1;

But then if I try to use this code it returns this : “]
$attid = ‘[att_id]’;
$custom_question_1 = do_shortcode(‘[EE_ANSWER q=”11″ a=”‘.$attid.'”]’);
echo $custom_question_1;

I have tried many different combinations. They either not work or return the same.

Thanks!

Hi there,

It’s kind of hard to tell from the code you posted, but it may be the mixed single and double quotes. Can you post the code, in the content of the files you’re working on in a pastebin and link to it from here so we can get a clear look?

I copied the line of code form attendee_list.php (line 87) and I am using it in badge-sm.php. I am not sure of what you are asking but here is the complete code, hope this works:
<pre class=”brush: php; gutter: true; first-line: 1; highlight: []; html-script: false”><?php
global $org_options;

//Build the path to the css files
if (file_exists(EVENT_ESPRESSO_UPLOAD_DIR . "tickets/templates/css/base.css")) {
$base_dir = EVENT_ESPRESSO_UPLOAD_URL . 'tickets/templates/css/';//If the template files have been moved to the uploads folder
} else {
$base_dir = ESPRESSO_TICKETING_FULL_URL.'templates/css/';//Default location
}

//Output the $data (array) variable that contains the attendee information and ticket settings
//echo "".print_r($data,true)."";

Sorry I see my comment makes no sense now that I posted it but I can’t find any way to edit or remove. Here is a link to the code: http://pastebin.com/QzH3qeQ1

Thanks!

Hi Sylvain,

It turns out that the ticketing template has its own answer shortcode. Here are a few usage examples from the documentation:

[answer_A bunch of stuff]

[answer_This is a question]

[answer_Use any custom question you like]

Basically you type square bracket answer_The Question end square bracket and it will display the answer to the question from the registration form.

More ticketing template tags info here:
