Modify a plugin function output from another plugin

I'm writing a plugin for a wordpress site using a page template using WP Types plugin.

My plugin adds a shortcode tag.

Shortcode tags inside 'the_content' get processed without problem.

But this page template echoes types_render_field(...) WP Types function which gets and returns content containing shortcode tags retrieved from the database using get_post_custom($postid) wordpress core function call.

I want to process these shortcode tags without modifying the template or WP Types plugin, just using my plugin code.

Is that possible?

I will never understand the point of these wildly complicated "helper" wrapper/plugins... but that aside...

The plugin provides a lot of filters that might help you out. I think that the types_view filter might be what you want. Something like this is a plugin file or your theme functions.php might do it:

add_filter('types_view','do_shortcode');

I do not use that plugin, have never used that plugin, and I am guessing-- a lot-- but I hope that helps.
