This plugin adds a list of Pluralsight courses by author (by tag coming soon) as either a widget or a shortcode. The widget includes controls to determine what fields to include (first name, last name and date published), where to display the Pluralsight logo (above or below the course list) and how many courses to list.
The shortcode allows you to control all the same options with shortcode parameters.
Note: When using either the shortcode or the widget, you must specify an author name.
Shortcode usage
This shortcode will display no courses at all:
[ps-course-list]Author
This shortcode will display all courses by Chris Reynolds:
[ps-course-list author=chris-reynolds]Note: Author name must match the author ID on Pluralsight.com.
Fields
If no fields value is passed to the shortcode, only the course titles will display. However, if you'd like to display first name, last name and release date, you could do this:
[ps-course-list author=chris-reynolds fields="FirstName,LastName,ReleaseDate"]Note: When using multiple field values, values must be separated by commas with no spaces.
Limit
If you only wanted to list a few courses, you could do that like this:
[ps-course-list author=chris-reynolds limit=3]This parameter accepts any numeric value.
Logo Position
You can display the Pluralsight Logo above or below the course list like this:
[ps-course-list author=chris-reynolds logo=below]The default logo position is above. Using logo=below will override this to display the logo below the list of courses.
Coming soon!
Planned features are:
- Logo style -- for blogs with a dark background, the logo will display in a light color
- Course list by tags -- a comma-separated list of tags to display all courses by any number of different tags. Can be used in place of the author.
