 * Hi Simon,
 * thanks for the plugin!
    We used plugin organizer before and your plugin does 
   the job a lot better/easier/less frustrating 😉
 * A struggle we had with plugin organizer and would like to solve with plugin logic
   is that some of our blog posts use shortcodes.
    So we would need to activate 
   certain plugins for selective blog posts. But the blog posts are written by non-
   developers so it’s a lot of work for us to activate the plugin selective. We 
   would like to not just activate the plugins for all blog posts.
 * So I started to write a script to find out which shortcodes there are and what
   plugin they are from (I already have a proof of concept for this – ugly coded,
   but working).
 * there are two ideas from there:
    – automatically add plugins to the green list(
   activated for this post) if there are shortcodes in use. – make it possible to
   select with shortcodes should be watched for (while save posts/pages …) and be
   auto-added.
 * Would you think, that could be a nice feature to add to plugin logic? We would
   be happy to provide code and support.
 * Oh, and I have done a ajax handler with a similar strategie to plugin logic –
   but yet without a GUI – so developer only:

 * Hi ib4s, thank you for your feedback!
 * Don’t know if this feature really needed by many people and in the next months
   it would not possible for me to implement this, because of lack of time.
    But
   feel free to use the code if it will help you.
 * Kind regards

 * Hi Simon,
 * I guess I am on a great way to accomplish what I planed.
 * This will most likely be a plugin that runs on it’s on but will only make sense
   when running in companion with plugin_logic or plugin_organizer.
 * Would it be fine with you if I get inspiration by your plugin’s name?
 * Maybe “plugin logic shortcode handler” or something.
    Or – to be less focused
   on plugin logic something like “shortcode logic”
 * Not sure yet. 🙂
 * Kind regards,
 * Sebastian
