Update: Automatically create media_buttons for shortcode selection
wordpress snippet
Adding this snippet to the functions.php of your wordpress theme will add a select menu with an automatically generated list of your shortcodes. For everyone that is going to say hey wait a minute you posted this snippet before! Yes this is true but I added a few updates to this version.
The old version of this snippet is located here (Add custom media_buttons for shortcode selection ) I made a few changes to this version.- 1.) You don't need to add shortcode, the snippet will generate the list for you.
- 2.) you will notice the comment "enter names of shortcode to exclude bellow" this will let you exclude any shortcodes you don't want clients to see.
- 3.) I fixed the pesky javascript issue that would only let you you add shortcode when using the html editor.
snippet : PHPcopy
add_action('media_buttons','add_sc_select',11);
function add_sc_select(){
global $shortcode_tags;
/* ------------------------------------- */
/* enter names of shortcode to exclude bellow */
/* ------------------------------------- */
$exclude = array("wp_caption", "embed");
echo ' <select id="sc_select"><option>Shortcode</option>';
foreach ($shortcode_tags as $key => $val){
if(!in_array($key,$exclude)){
$shortcodes_list .= '<option value="['.$key.'][/'.$key.']">'.$key.'</option>';
}
}
echo $shortcodes_list;
echo '</select>';
}
add_action('admin_head', 'button_js');
function button_js() {
echo '<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(document).ready(function(){
jQuery("#sc_select").change(function() {
send_to_editor(jQuery("#sc_select :selected").val());
return false;
});
});
</script>';
}
