Snippy Wordpress Plugin - Rating, Reviews, Demo & Download
Plugin Description
Use Snippy to quickly create your own custom shortcodes.
A Snippy shortcode is built by combining bits. A bit can be a file, like a Stylesheet or a Script, or a piece of code, like HTML, CSS or JavaScript.
The “code” bits can contain placeholders, which are automatically made accessible as shortcode attributes.
Time for a quick example.
Let’s create a shortcode to embed YouTube videos. We’ll add an HTML bit and set the it’s value to the YouTube embed iframe.
<iframe src="https://youtube/embed/JZYYJY4yoK4"/>
Now to make this bit a bit more flexible we will replace the YouTube video id with a placeholder value {{id}}
.
<iframe src="https://youtube/embed/{{id}}"/>
Yay! We’ve finished our first bit!
Now we can create a new Snippy shortcode and add the YouTube iFrame HTML bit. After saving the shortcode we can use our new and shiny YouTube shortcode in the text editor.
