Plugin Information Plugin Details

This plugin adds the ability to show the description and change log of one of my plugins in a similar way to that provided by the wordpress admin pages. In support of this, the plugin provides three shortcodes:

pluginInformation

This shortcode provides the description and other information about the plugin. Additional information may be added into the right handbox of the generated table by placing the text inside of the shortcode. The additional text will be placed inside a list item (<li> tag)

Example of use
[pluginInformation slug="LatinSquares"]<strong>License:</strong> GPL v2[pluginInformation]

If the attachment attribute is provided on the shortcode, links will be updated to point to the attachment page instead of the direct download page. For example
[pluginInformation slug="LatinSquares" attachment="true"]

If the nolink attribute is provided on the shortcode, the link itself will be suppressed (the text of the link itself will remain) For example
slug="LatinSquares" nolink="true"]

If the homepage attribute is provided on the shortcode, a link to the plugin's homepage will be added to the information panel. For example
[pluginInformation slug="LatinSquares" homepage="true"]

pluginInformationChangeLog

This shortcode provides the change log for the plugin

Example of use
[pluginInformationChangeLog slug="LatinSquares"]

You can ask for only the first few sections of the change log (as introduced by h4 tags in the change log) by specifying 'latest' on the shortcode, for example:
[pluginInformationChangeLog slug="LatinSquares" latest="1"]

Normally the links in the change log will be removed. These can be kept via the attachment attribute. If set the links will be kept and if attach is 'convert' the links will be converted from links to the download to links to the relevant attachment page for that download file.

pluginInformationVersion

Provides the version number of this plugin (not the version of the plugin being queried)
