Do the impossible: place galleries, tables, audio players or contact forms right inside your CMS text – with one short line.
In Elements CMS, you normally can't place components inside the text of an entry. A picture, a link or an embedded YouTube video is about as far as it goes. ShortCodes changes that: galleries, tables, audio players, author cards and almost any other Elements component can now go anywhere in your text.
And it's easy to do: on a regular Elements page, put a single component or a whole group of them into a container, then give the container an ID. Now type one short line in your CMS text, exactly where it should appear. On your page, it shows up right between your paragraphs – fully working, whether it's a gallery with a lightbox, an audio player, an interactive table or anything else you build.
Everything is kept in one place. Change it there, and it updates automatically in every post that uses it. Use as many shortcodes in a post as you like, and keep as many components on a library page as you need.
Built natively for Rapidweaver Elements, everything is set up visually in the inspector – no HTML, JavaScript or CSS to write.
The impossible is now just one line of text.
