the_ID() inside shortcode

    I want to open a lightbox-popup with Shortcodes Ultimate, but I need to insert the post-ID inside the Shortcode with “the_ID();”. This will be used inside an archive-php, so each of the shortcodes will need its own id.

    Here’s my code so far: 

    <?php
 $my_shortcode = '[su_lightbox type="inline" src="#THE-ID"]';
 $my_shortcode .= '+ show more';
 $my_shortcode .= '[/su_lightbox]';
 $my_shortcode .= '[su_lightbox_content id="THE-ID"]';
 $my_shortcode .= apply_filters('the_content', get_the_content());
 $my_shortcode .= '[/su_lightbox_content]';
echo do_shortcode( $my_shortcode );
?>

    Does anyone know a solution for this?

    Hey @aviendha75,

    try this:

    <?php
$my_post_id = get_the_ID();
$my_shortcode = "[su_lightbox type='inline' src='#{$my_post_id}']";
$my_shortcode .= '+ show more';
$my_shortcode .= '[/su_lightbox]';
$my_shortcode .= "[su_lightbox_content id='#{$my_post_id}']";
$my_shortcode .= apply_filters('the_content', get_the_content());
$my_shortcode .= '[/su_lightbox_content]';
echo do_shortcode( $my_shortcode );
?>
