Now I need help! :) Anyone know if it's possible to create shortcodes for the default footer text. What I'd like is a [wordpress-link] and [theme-credit]. And what I'd especially like is for [theme-credit] to be filterable so publicly released Child Themes can add their own credit link, like:
[theme-credit] = Thematic and Awesome Theme
or just
[theme-credit] = Awesome Theme
if they like.
Gimme 10 minutes :-)
It would also be great if this could be localised! Do you think it would be possible to add this to the POT and PO/MO files?
Ok .. it took me 13 minutes to find it plus 5 minutes for this post but now I know how it works :-)
function theme_credit() {
return "Thematic and Awesome Theme";
}
add_shortcode('theme-credit', 'theme_credit')
You can extend this one using an additional function for the content to make it filterable.
And now let's bring some magic into your footer.php:
$thm_footertext = do_shortcode($thm_footertext);
Cheers,
Chris
Chris, you rule.
Don't forget about localisation ;o)
Hey Florent,
will try my very best :-)
Cheers,
Chris
Many thanks Chris!
Sorry for this delay .. got a call from my favorite Spanish restaurant and my favorite bar this evening ;-) .. my prove of concept is ready, tested and working .. the combined magic of translation, filters and shortcodes finally works .. I will commit the final version tomorrow to the SVN
Cheers,
Chris
I accidentally shortcodes to trunk. :( Hopefully we can merge.
.. don't worry .. let me merge tomorrow (see PM and DM)
.. ok .. latest and greatest revision uploaded to SVN .. Fixed a glitch in footer.php, moved the shortcodes to shortcodes.php, added the following shortcodes:
[theme-name]
[theme-author]
[theme-uri]
[theme-version]
[child-name]
[child-author]
[child-uri]
[child-version]
Updated thematic.pot
And did a couple of tests, that translation and shortcodes are working as expected.
Cheers,
Chris
Chris, this one doesn't work for me and I don't know why. Here's teh generated code:
<div id="siteinfo">
[wp-link] [theme-link] [loginout-link] [blog-title] [the-year]
<a href="http://www.altamentedecorativo.com/">Second to None Childtheme</a>
</div><!-- close #siteinfo -->.. will look into the code as soon as I'm back at home .. btw.: which revision are you using?
sorry Chris... rev 427, the latest one...
Could you please create a new post and add the shortcodes into a post? .. Need to know if this is a problem with the shortcodes or the do_shortcode() function.
I tested everything with WP 2.7.1 and 2.8 and it works here :(
Chris, I don't know why but now it works witout changes. Maybe it was a cache issue.
Hey Danny,
good to see that it's working for you.
Cheers,
Chris
