[Resolved] Adding a custom attribute to [wpv-view..]

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:

I need to add a custom shortcode attribute field, for example:

[wpv-view name="custom-post-grid" limit="21" cat="advanced" columns="1/2"]

Within my view I would get the value of attribute "columns"

Solution:

You can get the attribute value of shortcode [wpv-view] with shortcode [wpv-attribute], for example:

[wpv-attribute name="columns"]

Relevant Documentation:

I have a view that is working fine, E.g.,

[wpv-view name="custom-post-grid" limit="21" cat="advanced"]

However, i need to add a custom shortcode attribute field, for example:

[wpv-view name="custom-post-grid" limit="21" cat="advanced" columns="1/2"]

And of course, within my view I would use it as follows, inserting the [columns] shortcode

<!-- wpv-loop-start -->
<wpv-loop>
[column type="[columns]" class="column-main"][wpv-post-featured-image size="medium"][gap size="0.5em"]<div class="title">[wpv-post-link]</div>[gap size="3.5em"][/column]
</wpv-loop>
[clear]
<!-- wpv-loop-end -->

Would I register this under Third-party shortcode arguments?

Thanks!
