[wp-hackers] Registering shortcodes for meta boxes

[Steve Taylor]

Shortcodes get parsed when stuff goes through 'the_content' filter.
Obviously this automatically gets applied by the_content(), but for
anything else, either do this:

echo apply_filter( 'the_content', $my_meta_box_content );

Or, if you ONLY want the shortcodes parsing (and not everything else
that's hooked to the_content):

echo do_shortcode( $my_meta_box_content );

I think these should do the trick.
