Shortcode to get title only?

    Hello, I’m having user-submitted books so my users can just input an IBSN and it creates a post.

    I’d like to know a shortcode that can grab the title only, so it fills out the title field of a wordpress post instead of being in the body of a post. Is there any way of doing this?

    Thanks for any help 🙂

    Hello, neliti.

    Thanks for using GoodReviews. The plugin does not have this feature. Off the top of my head, I don’t know of any plugins that specifically replace the post title with a title from Goodreads. However, there are numerous plugins in the WordPress Plugin Repository that allow you to customize post titles in various ways.

    Let me know if I can be of further assistance.

    Hi James,

    Thanks for the reply. Can you think of any ways of doing this off the top of your head?

    I don’t know of a way without writing custom code. GoodReviews uses the following method from the Goodreads API to retrieve the book information, including the title:

    https://www.goodreads.com/api/index#book.show_by_isbn

    Once you’ve retrieved the title, you might use the methods discussed in the following thread to accomplish the custom post title:

    I have previously been able to fetch the title from custom fields and post meta.

    What piece of information is associated with the goodreads book title?

    Is it <div class=”good reviews-label”>

    Hi, neliti.

    The element on the page that contains the book title is:

    <label for="goodreviews-bookinfo" class="goodreviews-label"></label>

    Thanks again for using GoodReviews and let me know if I can be of further assistance.

    Hi James,

    Still can’t seem to retrieve the title only. I’ll give up for now, but can I make a feature request for the title shortcode in a future update?

    Thanks if you can make this possible 🙂

    Hi, neliti.

    I’ll investigate adding this for a future revision.

    Thanks!
