Transform Shortcodes into HTML on Uninstall #24

When a user un-installs editor, AND Aesop Story Engine is activated, go through each post and transform each of the shortcodes into real HTML.

When the user reactivates the editor, AND Aesop Story Engine is active, map those pieces of HTML back to the shortcodes.

I'd like to get this in before 1.0 for sure

bearded-avenger commented 9 years ago

some things I was thinking about

needs to loop through all posts by batches
needs to find any aesop_ shortcode and replace with SOMETHING other than the shortcode
needs to store the current shortcodes options as data-attributes

on reactivation - or button click may be too intensive on activation

loop through all posts by batches
find all aesop_ shortcodes
restore options using the data-atts

so some ideas from @Shelob9 and I's chat

But maybe if every Aesop element had a "sensible default markup" mode that could get outputted as HTML in this process.

Like quotes, just make them regular <blockquote> and for videos use a normal embed.

mani wonder if this coudlnt be a universal type thing, where it could benefit more than just us. so if it was a sep plugin, it could have a cb function for the default markup, a place to define the slug for the shortcode, etc. just a thought.
