Template tag shortcode use

I’m confused as to how to get the shortcode to work for the Group Link. I would like to have a link in a WordPress page and have it go to the group “The Study” but can’t seem to get it to show.

Can someone give me an example on how to set-up the shortcode to work? I checked the codex but that just confused me more. I have the template tags and widget activated.

Thanks for any help,

Misti

I am ever so sorry. It looks like there is a simple typo in the codex description of the short-code which I will go straight over and correct after I post this.

The argument is shown in the code to be groupd and it should be groupid – note the missing i (for id).

If you change that and, of course, ensure that the group ID is correct then it should be OK. A quick test here shows it to function correctly.

And again – apologies for the mistake.

Thanks for the answer but I guess I’m not smart enough to get this to work. Could you possibly show me an example of how the shortcode should be formated to show.

Thanks again for your help

Exactly as shown in the codex (now I have corrected the typo). I am not sure if I can paste a short-code into a forum post but I will give it a go..

sp_group_link groupid=’X’

but (1) surround with the square brackets and (2) replace the X with the ID of the group you want to link to. You can get the ID number from the Manage Groups and Forums admin panel.
