Hi,

Inside a shortcode included in a block of a Toolset view how can I put the id of the current post?
For example, in the following shortcode:
[sdm_download id="4868" fancy="0"]
how can I make the number 4868 the id of the current post?
Something like:
[sdm_download id="{id_post}" fancy="0"]

Thanks for your help.
Regards,
Jose A.

Hi Jose,

This will only work if your shortcode accepts a shortcode as a parameter. If it does you can try this.
[sdm_download id="[wpv-post-id]" fancy="0"]

Thanks,
Shane
