In locations where a shortcode was required, CCS allowed me to show the content of any post with
[content id=42166]
To accomplish that In L&L, I use
[template id=123 ptype=dogs pid=456]
Which calls a template I’ve named Content
<Loop type="{Get local=ptype}" id="{Get local=pid}">
<Field content />
</Loop>
If that’s the optimal way to do it, I hope this is useful to someone else.
If there is a better way, I’d love to hear about it.
Cheers, Richard
That is indeed the correct approach to getting post content with a shortcode.
Nice job figuring out tag attributes as local variables for templates! It’s one of my favourite features 
For anyone wondering, you can create a similar shortcode for any field by swapping out <Field content /> in Richard’s example, and here’s the relevant documentation
Hi Richard, thank you for sharing the useful snippet to load post content from a shortcode. I like how you used shortcode attributes to pass local variables.
I wanted to mention, there’s a newly documented feature for the Field tag called loop type shortcut. It’s a way to set type attribute with id or name, to avoid having to create a loop.
So the template can written as:
<Field content type="{Get local=ptype}" id="{Get local=pid}" />
It’s suitable for one-off use of a field. If more than one field is needed, it’s more efficient to create a loop.
Anyway, I thought you might appreciate this trick.
