# A Shortcode from a form?

 * Is there a form plugin that will let me generate a shortcode?
 * For example:
 * I need a shortcode like this: [shortcode year=”xxxx” league=”yyyy” division=”
   zzzz”]
 * So I need a dropdown to select the Year, League and Division which would then
   generate and display the shortcode.
 * Is this possible with a form?

 * Are you trying to have the page forward based on the options selected? If so,
   you can do this with Gravity Forms [https://www.gravityforms.com/](https://www.gravityforms.com/)
   or WP Forms [https://wpforms.com/](https://wpforms.com/).
 * Hope this helps. Once you find a solution please tag the thread as resolved.

 * [@binarywc](https://wordpress.org/support/users/binarywc/) thanks – but what 
   I’m looking to do is embed a shortcode in a page but have it generated from a
   couple of dropdowns so I’m thinking it would more likely work better with PHP
   in the page but I’ll have a look at your suggestions

 * Unless I am missing something what you are trying to do can be done using conditional
   logic which gravity forms offers. I would suggest looking closer at what the 
   full feature set of Gravity Forms before writing custom code.

 * [@binarywc](https://wordpress.org/support/users/binarywc/) thanks for the replies
   and suggestions.
 * I’ve had a look at doing it with PHP and have managed to get it working!
