Plugin shortcode displays the template page in page editor (admin panel) Wordpress

Question

I am creating a plugin for wordpress themes that loads the templates in its own directory rather than placing templates in the theme that makes me independent to include templates in themes, for that I have created shortcodes to load the different templates on conditions. below is the code:

add_shortcode('template', 'add_template');

function add_template( $atts) {
extract( shortcode_atts( array( 'template' => ''
), $atts ) );

switch ($template) {
  case 'template1':
    include 'templates/template1.php';        
    break;

  case 'template2':
    include 'templates/template2.php';            
     break;

  default:
    include 'templates/template1.php';        
     break;   
   }  
}

My problem is in some themes my plugin start to display the page within the admin panel is there anything I am doing wrong? please help....

Found a solution we just need to add a check that the user is not admin before including template.

add_shortcode('template', 'add_template');

function add_template( $atts) {
extract( shortcode_atts( array( 'template' => ''
), $atts ) );

switch ($template) {

  case 'template1':
     if ( !is_admin() ) {
         include 'templates/template1.php';
     }
     break;

  case 'template2':
       if ( !is_admin() ) {
        include 'templates/template2.php';
       }            
       break;

  default:
     if ( !is_admin() ) {
       include 'templates/template1.php';
     }        
     break;   
   }  
}
