Hi

I’m having a little difficult getting links from custom shortcodes to display in the same way as links created by default shortcodes. I am using the default template and the links that are created via the standard shortcodes are working fine – they display as links with the correct formatting. However the Zoom link that I am inserting (see code below) sometimes displays as a hyperlink and sometimes (I am testing each time with a fully URL) not and never with the styling applied. Is there something obvious that needs to happen? Many thanks in advance for any help

function register_new_tony_shortcodes( $shortcodes, EE_Shortcodes $lib ) {
  
	//Add a shortcode to be used with the EE Datetimes within messages
	if ( $lib instanceof EE_Datetime_Shortcodes ) {
		$shortcodes['[ZOOM_LINK]'] = _('Zoom Link Shortcode');
	}
	
	return $shortcodes;
}
add_filter( 'FHEE__EE_Shortcodes__shortcodes', 'register_new_tony_shortcodes', 10, 2 );
function register_new_tony_shortcodes_parser( $parsed, $shortcode, $data, $extra_data, EE_Shortcodes $lib ) {
	
	//Check for the datetime shortcodes and that the $data is the expected object (in this case an EE_Datetime)
	if ( $lib instanceof EE_Datetime_Shortcodes  && $data instanceof EE_Datetime ) {

		if ( $shortcode == '[ZOOM_LINK]' ) {
			
			$event = $data->event();
	        if ( $event instanceof EE_Event ) {
	            $evt_id = $event->ID();
	        }
			
			if ( !empty( $evt_id ) ) {
				$event_external_booking_group = get_field( 'event_external_booking', $evt_id );
				
				if( $event_external_booking_group['zoom_link'] ){
					$zoom_link = '<a href="'.$event_external_booking_group['zoom_link'].'" />'.$event_external_booking_group['zoom_link'].'</a>';

					return $zoom_link ;
				}
			}
			
		}
	}

	//If conditions above not met return the currently parsed content.
	return $parsed;
}
