Hey Support,

We are needing a way to extend/modify the existing field and view shortcodes. For example, I would like to modify [wpv-post-link] so that it automatically wraps each list item within this shortcode with a <span> tag that has a specific name attribute as well as data attribute. The reason we need this is so we can have special behavior on our views using Javascript. I am aware that I am able to use html view and manually build out the markup so that it looks something like:

But we will be using this very often and need this type of structure to be applied to every instance of the shortcode. We will also be needing to do similar behavior on other field and view shortcodes. How can we go about accomplishing this?

Thanks,
Bernard

Hello,

Toolset View/Types shortcodes are also registered with WP function add_shortcode(), so you can use WP built-in filter hook do_shortcode_tag to apply your custom codes, see WP document:
https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/hooks/do_shortcode_tag/
Filters the output created by a shortcode callback.
