What features would you guys like on my next plugin?
By Cim
The plugin is called Helpr, which is a bunch of features at your command to enable. I'll be integrating my other plugins into here as well so it'll make my other plugins obsolete. Some of the plugins that are going to integrated, so far, are:
- Disable right click
- Customizr
- Blog video cover
Features so far:
- Change the colon in the title to whatever
- Display unread messages next to the title
- Check for new messages every so and so seconds and update the title to show the unread messages
Feel free to request features for this next plugin on this thread and the features you request must benefit everyone.
@Cim, if you're still looking for something for a plugin, here is an idea that at least a couple of us can use. I posted it in reply to this discussion. They're trying to embed Google maps and youtube videos. It would be nice to have a plugin that will take a google map url and embed it so that the url http://goo.gl/maps/1AjJo becomes the embedded map.
@Dan the only "safe" way I can think of for admins and non admins to embed scripts like Google maps is to use shortcodes.
@Cim, I don't understand what you mean by "shortcodes". Isn't the way a Google map gets embedded similar to the way a youtube video gets embedded?
Could a plugin be created that would use shortcodes to safely embed a google map into a posting so the url doesn't have to be clicked to see the map?
Ok I'm finding some information on shortcode for google maps, most of it in Google search appears to relate to Wordpress. The Share Maps plugin I guess would be using shortcodes since it is embedding the Google maps. It provides a lot more features than simply embedding the map.
Shortcodes are functions that have premade scripts so you can manipulate them, here's an example:
There is shortcodes plugin already for Elgg 1.8 by Team Webgalii https://community.elgg.org/plugins/1047972
I wonder what I can break with it testing it on one of my 1.10.5 installations.
I am actually using that on my 1.10 site and it doesn't break anything. I added some shortcodes on there for other uses.
I deactivated CKEditor Extended and Videos before activating it. I just tried it on my site and it didn't work. There weren't any errors or anything it just displayed the url's as links.
I wonder why it works for you and not for me, something has to be different.
By default it became the last plugin.
You wouldn't be using Tinymce by chance?
I'm using CK, what shortcode did you use? I don't use the default shortcodes they programmed since it doesn't fit my needs.
Ok I figured it out, not intuitive at all. For an admin doing some entries ok, but for users to have to view the source code, edit the example and copy and past the url and then post it would be a support nightmare.
If the plugin did all the behind the scenes work so users only had to enter the url, then that would be a useful plugin for the users.
The plugin would have to identify by the url the type of shortcode needed and then enter the url as a replaceable parameter so it works, so entering;
in the source code would automatically become;
