You worked hard developing your plugins & themes for the WP.org community. Don’t you think you should be able 
to show off your hard work? I did, so I threw together this plugin which will poll the WP.org plugin & 
theme APIs and dynamically display all of your hard work. Unlike some similar plugins, there is no page scraping 
happening here (eww!).
Usage could not be more easy. The simplest usage is the following shortcode: <code>[dev-info author=<author slug>]</code>. 
Advanced usage is documented below.
<h4>[dev-info] Arguments</h4>
<ul>
<li>author: The author slug. This is the same value at the end of your WP.org profile (eg: https://profiles.wordpress.org/danrossiter/).</li>
<li>slug: The plugin or theme slug to be retrieved (useful if you just want to display info about a single plugin).</li>
<li>api: Optional. This indicates whether to query the plugins API, the themes API, or both (“plugins”, “themes”, “plugins,themes”). 
The default is both, but if you only want one then you should explicitly set this value to avoid making two HTTP 
calls from your server.</li>
<li>orderby: Field to order by (eg: name, slug, downloaded). Any field with an associated shortcode may be ordered against, 
though some such as <code>stars</code> might not make a whole lot of sense to order by.</li>
<li>order: Ascending or descending sort (ASC or DESC).</li>
</ul>
The <code>[dev-info]</code> shortcode supports a number of nested shortcodes allowing complete customization of the output generated. 
An example of this is the following (this is infact the default output format):
 <a href="[dev-info-homepage]" rel="nofollow ugc">[dev-info-icon]</a>
<h3><a href="[dev-info-homepage]" rel="nofollow ugc"></a>[dev-info-name]</h3>
 [dev-info-stars] ([dev-info-num-ratings])
[dev-info-short-description]
<ul>
<li>[dev-info-name]: The name of the plugin/theme.</li>
<li>[dev-info-slug]: The slug identifying the plugin/theme.</li>
<li>[dev-info-description]: The full description.</li>
<li>[dev-info-short-description]: The short description. For themes this is the first 150 characters of the description.</li>
<li>[dev-info-version]: The current version of the plugin/theme.</li>
<li>[dev-info-author]: The name of the author.</li>
<li>[dev-info-author-profile]: The URL for the author’s WP.org profile.</li>
<li>[dev-info-active-installs]: The number of active installs for the plugin/theme.</li>
<li>[dev-info-rating]: Percent rating of the plugin/theme.</li>
<li>[dev-info-num-ratings]: The number of users that have rated the plugin/theme.</li>
<li>[dev-info-downloaded]: The number of downloads for the plugin/theme.</li>
<li>[dev-info-downloadlink]: The download link for the plugin/theme.</li>
<li>[dev-info-last-updated]: The last time the plugin/theme was updated.</li>
<li>[dev-info-homepage]: The homepage of the plugin/theme.</li>
<li>[dev-info-icon]: The IMG tag containing the icon for plugins and the first screenshot for themes.</li>
<li>[dev-info-stars]: The rating represented in stars (same as what is displayed on the WP.org profile).</li>
</ul>

WordPress developers: ever written awesome custom functions and script work for client’s site? Then you provide said client with instructions – either via printed manual, video tutorials, or even emails – but no matter how many ways you tell them how to use the site you just made for them, they keep asking you for instructions?
I’ve found this is typically because most clients want instructions that appear “in your face”. They like immediate answers to their questions – they don’t want to have to find that file, or search their email for the answers. It’s much faster for them to just call you and ask what to do.
This plugin solves the issue. Now there can be no more excuses for not finding the answers you’ve already supplied for them ad nauseum.
<h4>Features</h4>
<ol>
<li>Version 3.0 now has the option of using a custom tab, or the ability to be integrated in the WordPress “Help” tab.</li>
<li>Due to popular demand, I’ve added in a new feature where you can add a single instruction to multiple pages. </li>
<li>Choose the tab (named by your post title), and the “instructable” displays the content.
<ul>
<li>Content can be a written list of instructions, or some other form of media.</li>
<li>Content can be anything you like, and you can use it just like you would any other post – the only difference is, this stuff shows up in the back-end.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>The options page will allow you to set what user level can add/edit/delete “instructables”, as well as allow you to choose whether or not to make the instructions viewable from the front end. You can also choose to make front-end “instructables” viewable to the public, or only to logged-in users. You can also give non-logged-in users “capabilities” to restrict what they see.</li>
<li>You can set what end user level can view which instructions. For example, you don’t want an Author to see the same instructions for “Edit Posts” that an Administrator would see – it would confuse them. So you can also create content and serve up specific information based on the user level, if you so desire. </li>
</ol>
Note that upper levels will also see lower-level videos, so keep that in mind while preparing your instructions. I recommend making videos/content specific to the lowest level first, and then build onto that base as you go up the user-level chain of command. 
6. Multi-Site capable.

Given that this is free, I offer limited support. Pretty much if you have issues with the plugin working I will do whatever I can to help you fix the issue, but when it comes to customizations, I’m in limited supply. I’ll do what I can, but no guarantees. Pretty much your standard “as-is” application. In all honesty, ask customization questions in the forums – if I can’t help, perhaps someone else can. (If you want to hire me to customize it, that’s another story – feel free to contact me to do so!)
