 * Hi
    What a fantastic plugin! I’m using it to display testimonials on a customers
   site. Some of the texts are quite long and when I had them as html text just 
   in a page, I was using the jQuery Collapse-O-Matic plugin to make the divs collapsible
   using the [expand][/expand] shortcodes in the div itself.
 * Is there a way to use this when the text is included in a textarea?
 * Thanks

 * Well I’ve been doing some searching around and it seems that I need to use the
   do_shortcode function from the codex. I’ve tried a number of different ways suggested
   by people in blogs and forum posts, but none of them seem to work in my code.
   I have a custom field that outputs a styled div for customers testimonials on
   a page template with the following code in:
 *     ```
       <?php
       $testimonial = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'testimonial', true);
       foreach($testimonial as $testimonial){
       echo '<div class="testimonial">';
       echo '<p>' . $testimonial['testimonial-text'] . '</p>';
       echo '<p class="testimonialname">' . $testimonial['testimonial-name'] . '</p>';
       echo '</div>';
       }
       ?>
       ```
   
 * I think I need to use the
    `echo do_shortcode('[iscorrect]'.$text_to_be_wrapped_in_shortcode.'[/
   iscorrect]');` from the codex as I have an [expand][/expand] shortcode that creates
   a collapsible div when there is a lot of testimonial text.
 * Can anyone help me as to how to correctly insert this into my code so that it
   is only used when the shortcode is present in the custom field value?
 * Any help very greatly appreciated.
