php function not working because of missing return or echo

Putting the form directly into the template with php code <?php elp_subbox(“NO”, “desc”); ?> is currently not working, because you missed to output something from elp_subbox in classes/loadwidget.php on line 228.

You need to echo or return elp_cls_shortcode::elp_shortcode_prepare($atts);

I suggest to use return and leave the echo to the template developer like this:

function elp_subbox( $elp_name = "YES", $elp_desc = "" )
{
	$atts = array();
	$atts["namefield"] 	= $elp_name;
	$atts["desc"] 		= $elp_desc;
	$atts["group"] 		= "Public";	
	//$atts["type"] 		= "subbox";	
	//echo elp_shortcode( $atts );
	return elp_cls_shortcode::elp_shortcode_prepare($atts);
}

Now the php function needs to be called with echo:

<?php echo elp_subbox("YES", "description"); ?>
