Very soon we're getting updated to Full Fibre Broadband. We'll be losing our home phone number.
It's easy enough to change our websites to blank out the home phone.
But what do we do about the shortcodes that display the home phone number?
What are the options?
Is it worth altering the shortcodes to cater for this?
Current behaviour
Each shortcode only displays the number if there's a value for it.
| Shortcode |
Displays |
| bw_tel |
Telephone number ( inline ) |
| bw_telephone |
Telehphone number ( block ) |
| bw_mob |
Mobile number ( inline ) |
| bw_mobile |
Mobile number ( block ) |
| bw_emergency |
Emergency number |
| bw_fax |
Fax number |

So [bw_emergency] and [bw_fax] won't display anything
Options
- Blank out the home phone number in Telephone
- Replace the number in Telephone with the Mobile number, making it the same as the Mobile
- Replace the number in Telephone with the Mobile number and blank out the Mobile
I'm going to try option 2.
