A plugin to generate shortcodes and a corresponding button in the WordPress visual editor. Wicked!

Description

Adding shortcodes to the Visual Editor can be a pain in the buttocks. Not anymore. Now, you can add shortcodes and a button to the editor as simply as using an array and this plugin. How neat is that?

Note: This plugin requires at LEAST PHP 5.3. If you’re not sure what version of PHP you’re using, consult your host.

Frequently Asked Questions

So how do I add the shortcodes, anyway?

Well, after you’ve moved the shortcodes folder to your theme, open up shortcodes/array.php. The simplest one you can make would look like this:

$shortcodes['button'] = array(
'shortcode' => 'button'
);

That would create a shortcode that looks like this: Button Text

If you want to define some default parameters, just change params to this:

'params' => array(
'class' => 'small',
'color' => 'green'
)

It will produce this output:

Button Text

Want to be able to select text and have the shortcode wrap around it? Just pass 'selectable' => 1.

I will eventually add a ThickBox dialogue so that people can have default selections picked out for them, and actually have more of a UI. But this will do for now.
