Back WordPress API to the content.
You can request some* functions of WordPress API with same syntax for arguments into your posts, pages, or widgets content.
functionsCapacitor will insert function result into your content as HTML output.
(*) see Supported functions
or conditional tags.
Features
Three methods to use WordPress API functions :
Method by shortcode tag
Insert a tag into your content like [fct function_name="parameter1=value¶meter2=value"].
One shortcode tag can request several functions, input [fct function_name1="arguments" function_name2="arguments"].
Method with a widget
Add a functionsCapacitor widget, select a function, input function parameters like "parameter1=value¶meter2=value" (without quotes).
Optional: choose a supported conditional function to decide where to display your widget.
Method by custom fields
Set a custom field name with function name and put function arguments into custom field value like "parameter1=value¶meter2=value" (without quotes).
- Result is always inserted at end.
- Plugin has priority 5. Most plugins use priority 10.
- This method is applied if post/page is displayed.
Examples
- Tag cloud of popular posts tags,
insert [fct wp_tag_cloud]
- List of children pages of current page,
insert [fct wp_list_pages="title_li=&child_of=%postID%&depth=1"]
- List of category's recent posts with excerpts,
insert [fct wp_get_recent_posts="category=X&fct:show_excerpt=1"]
with X equal category ID number
- List of categories without default category,
insert [fct wp_list_categories="title_li=&exclude=%defaultcatID%"]
FAQ
Is it safe ?
Yes ! And you can install functionsCapacitor on WPMU or WPMS.
- functionsCapacitor not execute or eval users input (function name or arguments).
- functionsCapacitor output is managed by WordPress itself, and related to users role.
Example: wp_list_pages() function will not return private pages if current user is anonymous.
How come from functions capacitor idea ?
I was standing on my chair in front of the computer,
I was copy-paste a hack into a template,
the desk was wet,
my mouse slipped, right button hit the flowerpot,
and when I saw the result on screen I had a revelation ! A vision !
The functions capacitor !
D’où vient l’idée du convecteur de fonctions ?
J’étais assis devant mon ordinateur,
j’allais copier-coller un hack dans un template,
le bureau était mouillé,
ma souris a glissé, le bouton-droit a heurté le pot de fleurs,
et en voyant le résultat à l’écran j’ai eu une révélation ! Une vision !
Le convecteur de fonctions !
