Hi,

Is there a way to get post title and show it inside edit page in wp-admin?

I have created custom post type for carousel.
User can add image + text + link (repeater field).

Now I’m developing a shortcode, so user can use shortcode to display this carousel somewhere.
What I was thinking is to create ‘Message field’ that would have shortcode generated so he can copy it.
For example, shortcode would look like: [slider_shortcode “post-title”]

What I need here is to get current post title.
Is this possible?

Thanks in advanced

Hi @bobz,

The WP best practice is to add an action to the area of the page you wish to display your information.

‘admin_head’ might be what your looking for => http://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Action_Reference/admin_head

Here is a list of all the WP actions => http://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Action_Reference
