[wp-hackers] Fwd: [GSoC - 2014] Introducing Myself

[Nicholas Ciske]

I'd not advise pursuing this approach to shortcodes...

A single shortcode to output the form by id or name is the current (and best) practice.

See: every other form plugin available for WordPress.

Running dozens of short codes to output a form that's already been designed on the backend? That's going to use a lot of resources -- for what gain? Not to mention how brittle this approach is... e.g. can I intermix other shortcodes within a form? What if those also output a <form> element, breaking your form?

PS- Always prefix your shortcodes to avoid collisions with other plugins & themes.
