Hi @mastababa ,
at the moment those shortcodes do not exist. I could add it but at the moment I don’t have tons of time to develop.
The plugin is ordened in an old-fashion way and I have to tell you it uses it’s own two tables, and not custom content types (for now).
I’m sorry for this.
Thank you for sharing your ideas! I might implement it in the future, but I don’t have the time in a short term. I do hope my answers helped so you could create your own.
Kind regards,
Jeroen Peters
Understood.
On your next update, consider adding the following function to shortcode.php. It adds a shortcode to display a random name.
Use like this: [namedirectory_random dir=”2″]
function name_directory_show_random($attributes) {
$dir = null;
extract(shortcode_atts(
array('dir' => '1'),
$attributes
));
$name_filter = array();
$directory = name_directory_get_directory_properties($dir);
$names = name_directory_get_directory_names($directory, $name_filter);
$num_names = count($names);
if ($num_names > 0) {
$entry = $names[array_rand($names)];
ob_start();
echo '<div class="name_directory_random_name">';
echo '<div class="name_directory_name_box">';
echo '<a name="namedirectory_' . sanitize_html_class($entry['name']) . '"></a>';
echo '<strong>' . htmlspecialchars($entry['name']) . '</strong>';
if(! empty($directory['show_description']) && ! empty($entry['description']))
{
$print_description = html_entity_decode(stripslashes($entry['description']));
/* This toggles the read more/less indicators, these need extra html */
if(! empty($directory['nr_words_description']))
{
$num_words = intval($directory['nr_words_description']);
$short_desc = name_directory_get_words($print_description, $num_words);
$print_description = str_replace($short_desc, "", $print_description);
if(! empty($print_description))
{
echo '<br /><div>
<input type="checkbox" class="name-directory-readmore-state" id="name-' . htmlspecialchars($entry['id']) . '" />
<span class="name-directory-readmore-wrap">' . $short_desc . ' <span class="name-directory-readmore-target">' . $print_description .'</span></span>
<label for="name-' . htmlspecialchars($entry['id']) . '" class="name-directory-readmore-trigger"></label>
</div>';
}
else
{
echo '<br /><div>' . $short_desc . '</div>';
}
}
else {
echo '<br /><div>' . $print_description . '</div>';
}
}
if(! empty($directory['show_submitter_name']) && ! empty($entry['submitted_by']))
{
echo "<small>" . __('Submitted by:', 'name-directory') . " " . $entry['submitted_by'] . "</small>";
}
echo '</div>';
echo '</div>';
return ob_get_clean();
}
}
add_shortcode('namedirectory_random', 'name_directory_show_random');
I noticed in another thread you just became a parent. Happy parenting! 🙂
Hi @mastababa ,
thanks on the Congratulations and for the code. I will include it in v1.12, thank you!
Kind regards,
Jeroen Petes
I see you pushed out a new release. I think I’m not the only one contributing to this release, right?
You might want to consider adding the contributors to the list of “Contributors & Developers” at the bottom of the main plugin page.
Hey @mastababa ,
Thanks for the tip, I did put you Guys in the release notes, I have to check where i can add you and Marin for the contributers part.
I Will take care of that 🙂
Kind regards,
Jeroen Peters
I have added you both, but your name does not seem to show up on my screen, your avatar does, so I am sure the name is spelled correctly.
Did you do something in your profile?
Thanks!
It’s a WordPress bug. My name also doesn’t show in the top right of this site when logged in. Even though my profile has the correct info.
How about that! This suddenly resolved itself, after, what, years!
