    Hello,

    I was wondering if there is a way to get the shortcode of another plugin to work within your plugin. I am creating something and wanted to link a small section of it to the Pricing Tables plugin so that a colleague of mine can easy update the pricing information for the company. He would get too confused if he were to look at the overall design that I created within your plugin.

    Thank you for any assistance that you can provide, I absolutely love your plugin and how insanely versatile it is.

    Website working on is: https://www.outnumberedcc.com/test/

    Currently the only vehicle that works is a Ford Escort with the Exterior Option

    Hello @creation85,

    I’m sorry, but it is not possible to include other shortcodes as part of form, because the majority of plugins include their own scripts and brake the form’s structure, an alternative would be insert the third party shortcode in the same webpage, and import the resulting code to the form, for example:

    1. Insert the third party shortcode into a “DIV” tag with an unique id:

    <div id="external_shortcode" style="display:none;">[shortcode_here]</div>

    2. And then, insert a “HTML Content” field in the form with a piece of code similar to the following one:

    <div id="imported_shortcode"></div>
<script>
jQuery(document).one('showHideDepEvent', function(){
jQuery('#imported_shortcode').html(jQuery('#external_shortcode').html());
});
</script>

    and that’s all.

    Best regards.
