Creating a date shortcode and using it to filter tables

Hi Michael,

I hope you are well?

I was wondering if you could help. I’m trying to create a filter or search that finds dates in a cell that are 4 months away.

I’ve created a shortcode to print a month and year that is 4 months away:

echo date('m-Y',strtotime('+4 months'));

For example, this prints: 12-2016

I then use this shortcode within the filter and search of a datatable shortcode however it doesn’t seem to recognise this as a shortcode.

For example, the CFDB shortcode I have on the page is:

[cfdb-datatable filter=”Username=$user_login” Search=”[4months]” form=”Form Name” show=”Customer,Value,Renewal”]

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Simon
