escaped shortcodes being unexpectedly expanded during ‘get_the_excerpt’

vsgloik — Sat, 14 Dec 2013 17:39:45 +0000

This post describes a minor problem with escaped shortcodes (shortcodes that are wrapped in two square brackets, e.g. [[shortcode]]) being expanded when they shouldn't be. The shortcode is not expected to be processed. Instead, the double brackets surrounding shortcode are expected to be reduced to a single square bracket. e.g. [[shortcode]] in the source gets displayed as [shortcode].

Example: demonstrating the [bw_api] shortcode

At Human Made's pre WordCamp UK retreat this week at Coniston Water, Herb Miller ( bobbing wide / oik-plugins ) asked Joe Hoyle (Human Made) to write some PHP to demonstrate the [bw_api] shortcode, from the "oik-shortcodes" plugin, to create dynamic API documentation of your plugin(s) or theme(s) code.

Example: [nivo] displaying full size featured images

In oik v2.1 there is a change to the logic that finds the image to display when a full sized image is requested. Previously the routine would randomly select one image from those attached to post. It would not choose the featured image, even if there were no images attached to the post. The new logic, when thumbnail=full is being used, is to find the featured image first. Then if there is no featured image select an attached image at random. It is now possible to create a nivo slider for pictorial news - posts in a particular category with featured images being used to display full sized images. Note: You are still required to ensure that there are images somehow attached to each post being displayed in the slider; the code does not ignore posts without images.

[nivo post_type=post category_name=featured-images thumbnail=full ]

Example: [nivo] using the id= parameter to select multiple posts in a defined sequence

On the WordPress.org support forum someone asked to be able to specifically choose the images to display in the nivo slider and control the sequence in which they are displayed, without having to upload the images multiple times. e.g. on one page use [nivo id=1,2,3,4], on another use [nivo id=2,1,4,3] and on a third use [nivo id=4,2,1,3] With oik v2.1 it is now possible to use the id= parameter to select the specific attachment images to display. By default the sort sequence will be in the order you specify the ids.

Here we see 3 images of Ditto in sequence: 8260, 8261, 8262 [nivo id=8260,8261,8262 theme=dark]

Here we see the same 3 images in reverse order: 8262, 8261, 8260 [nivo post__in="8262 8261 8260" theme=light]

Note: id= and post__in= are interchangeable.

Technically

The new logic for oik v2.1. is implemented in Sourcefile not defined for 9021bw_api cannot determine the funcname. The solution to this problem was to use the "post__in" parameter to get_posts(), also using the orderby=post__in sort sequence by default when selecting multiple ids.

Example: format=”I/d a” block=n

Format: Image, div, date, space, author

Example: block=y

Using the original method of bw_pages with block=y (default) and NO format parameter

Example: jQuery cycle format=”IL/E M” block=n

jQuery cycle of pages with format="IL/E M" block=n: "Image, Link, div, Excerpt, space, More"
