Tell us what you are trying to do?
I'm trying to develop directory listings and member profiles that take user inputs that generate a shortcode to display stuff on listings and/or profiles

Is there any documentation that you are following?
no, totally lost trying to figure it out

Is there a similar example that we can see?
I'm currently using ACF and a directory plugin, which does the job but it seems sort of hacked cludged together and is labor intensive . I need to create a lot of different shortcodes to trigger from third-party plugins.
/** Twitter Hashtag Feed **/
add_shortcode( 'twitterhashfeed_shortcode' , 'my_twithash_shortcode_callback' );
function my_twithash_shortcode_callback( $atts ) {
if ( !get_field( 'twitter_hashtag') ) return '';
$inputid = get_field( 'twitter_hashtag' );
return do_shortcode("<h3>Twitter Hashtag Feed</h3>[custom-twitter-feeds hashtag=\"{$inputid}\" num=4 showheader=false ]");
}

Hi -

I have poked around various tutorials, threads and posts, but can't seem to find the right description to search for what I'm looking for.

Q: How would Toolset process custom field inputs to generate output shortcode on directory listings or member profiles?

Thanks
