ShortCodes UI

ShortCodes UI

The first post on this blog was named shortcodes because its shorter which is a post that explains what are shortcodes and how to use them, since then i've found myself creating a shortcode for almost anything i need and the only bad thing about it was that for each shortcode i created i needed to edit my functions.php file or create a plugin just for that. So this plugin Shortcodes UI is here to fix that and address a few more issues on the way.

What does it do?

This Plugin adds an admin UI for creating shortcodes without the need to code, edit code, or even know code.

  

How does it work?

This plugin uses the custom post type API and the Shortcodes API to enable an admin interface for creating shortcode, from the simplest type there is to the most advanced shortcode you can think of.

  

Features:

  • Based on the native custom post type (no extra tables in the database).
  • Ajaxed Import/Export functionality (so you can move your shortcodes from one site to another and shared them around).
  • Built in Tinymce (visual editor) button with an Ajaxed popup panel.
  • Built in Quicktag (HTML editor) button with an Ajaxed popup panel.
  • Works with all posts types (post,page,custom).
  • Each shortcode Can be used as a Template Tag.
  • Each shortcode has its own filter hook.
  • Export as standalone plugin (SOON).
