[bw_tides] shortcode not displaying anything

vsgloik — Thu, 22 Nov 2012 10:29:51 +0000

This morning ( 22nd November ) I visited one of my sites and noticed a series of Warning messages emanating from the [bw_tides] shortcode. There appeared to be something wrong with the tidetimes.org server. I spent a short while improving the code to better cater for errors. As I was doing it so the server appeared to recover. It then reached a stage where there were no Warnings being shown NOR any tidal information. This is due to the cacheing. To recover from this change the shortcode to use a different value of store for the cached information. e.g. [bw_tides store=nov22]

[[youtube]] video shortcode from Jetpack

vsgloik — Wed, 08 Aug 2012 13:25:02 +0000

If you have the jetpack plugin installed then a number of additional shortcodes will appear in the oik shortcode help. These include [[youtube]]. You can get a YouTube video to display just by pasting in the link ( e.g. http://youtu.be/2IYAU2qeeC8 ) ON A SEPARATE LINE and without any anchor tags ( <a href=blah... ) http://youtu.be/2IYAU2qeeC8

see for yourself...

[cookies plugins="plugin-list"] – list cookies for selected plugins

vsgloik — Fri, 18 May 2012 10:26:25 +0000

Use the plugins=plugin-list parameter of the cookies shortcode to list the cookies that a particular plugin may display. e.g. We use the cookiecontrol plugin as an example with 2 cookies attributed to it [cookies plugins=cookiecontrol]

Cookie Name	Cookie Category	Description	Duration
	unknown	unknown

Note: The difference between the internal plugin name - cookiecontrol and the external name cookie-control. This is done to allow for plugins to deliver separately activable components. View the cc_mapping.xml file

[cookies cookies="cookie-list"]
