Use the Google directions shortcode to insert a button that will link to Google directions.
Testing [ bw_directions]
Today I developed a new shortcode to make producing the Get directions button a bit easier
[ bw_directions]
Google directions
[ ngslideshow] – NextGen slideshow alternative shortcode
[ ngslideshow id=1]
[ngslideshow]
[ slideshow] shortcode versions: -ng and -gp
[ ngslideshow id=1]
[ngslideshow]
end of NextGen gallery slideshow
Slideshow gallery pro alternative
[gpslideshow]
end slideshow gallery pro alternative
Slideshow gallery pro alternative – second call – same parms
[gpslideshow]
end slideshow gallery pro alternative
This demonstrates that you can’t call slideshow-gallery-pro twice in the same page/post

bw_tel, bw_mob and bw_module
Use [ bw_tel] for an inline phone number
Tel: +44 (0)7876 236864dummy
Use [ bw_mob] for an inline mobile phone (cell phone) number
Mobile: +44 (0)7876 236864
Use [ bw_module name=’oik’] to refer to a Drupal Module
e.g.
[bw_module name=’oik’]
[ bw_mod] for Drupal contributed modules
Similar to the [ bw_plug] shortcode for WordPress plugins I’ve now developed a quick and dirty shortcode for Drupal contributed modules. So I should now be able to write about both WordPress and Drupal functionality with links going backwards and forwards between my sites without having to spend all day constructing links and stuff.
Here’s a simple example for the CCK module (Content Creation Kit)
[ bw_mod name=”cck”]
[bw_mod name=”cck”]
And here’s another for the (to be created) oik module
[bw_mod name=”oik”]
Do WordPress shortcodes work without quotes?
The answer is Yes, if you only have one word for the name=value parameters.
[ bw_button link=”/contact” text=”Contact me” title=”Contact me”]
What about with or without the slash before the close square bracket?
[ bw_plug name=oik]
oik
[ bw_plug name=oik /]
oik
[ bw_plug name=”oik”]
oik
[ bw_plug name=”oik” /]
oik
Yup fine
bw_follow_me – with alt=0
Use bw_follow_me to display “follow me” links for each of your social media accounts.
bw_button to link to the top, middle or bottom of the page
If you want to create a link to take you back to the top of a long page, create an anchor tag using the name parameter then use the bw_button shortcode to link back to it.
Or perhaps you want to go to the bottom
bottom
Or the middle.
