Add a shortcode generator #28

Closed dstrojny closed 10 years ago

I think the best approach here is to add an extra row of buttons to the editor for:

We have to think through the implementation from a UI standpoint. Do we use a popup when you click the insert button or try to do it through a select box?

Would I be able to take a look at what you guys consider the best practice for shortcode generators? I'd rather not go against the grain of how it's done in your themes.

dstrojny commented 11 years ago

We actually don't generate traditional shortcodes, we generate markup instead, but I'm sure it could be applied in a similar fashion. I think @tollmanz would be the guy to ask as he's got lots of plugin experience.

I added access for you for a new theme (Photography) we're working on that has the buttons and a recent one that has them, Portfolio.

I'm thinking we could maybe add a shortcode for a purchase button as well when we do this. I'll try to fill out the original details of the ticket a bit more.

@BRMatt Just to be extra clear, I don't want to spend time on this pre-launch, I just don't think it's that important to have right away. The documentation makes it very clear how to use the shortcodes.

We should consider hiding the "Protect page" metabox by default via the "Screen Options" menu once we have a shortcode generator. I'm seeing lots of confusion around the 404 aspect of the page protection. It almost feels like the entire page protection should be a more hidden power feature and the standard approach should be shortcodes, with more of a UI to make it simple.
