This plugin adds a shortcode that will list a hierarchical site map or list of a particular type of post such as page, post or custom post types with clickable links to view each listed entry. The shortcode is registered using the name: <code>rc_sitemap</code>. The shortcode will by default render an unordered list of the entries with a default class of <code>"rc_sitemap_list"</code>. The optional heading that it outputs has the default class of <code>rc_sitemap_heading</code>.
Overview of shortcode
Site map (<code>rc_sitemap</code>)
This shortcode is used to get and render a list of published posts like a site map. The attributes are as follows:
<ul>
<li><code>post_type</code> – defaults to ‘page’. You can use ‘post’, ‘page’ or any post type name.</li>
<li><code>orderby</code> – defaults to ‘menu_order’. Comma-separated list of options to sort by: accepts ‘post_author’, ‘post_date’, ‘post_title’, ‘post_name’, ‘post_modified’, ‘post_modified_gmt’, ‘menu_order’, ‘post_parent’, ‘ID’, ‘rand’, or ‘comment_count’.</li>
<li><code>order</code> – defaults to ‘ASC’.</li>
<li><code>heading_text</code> – defaults to empty, show no heading.</li>
<li><code>heading_tag</code> – defaults to h2. Note, do not include greater than / less than characters, only the alphanumeric characters e.g. p, h1, h2, h3 etc.</li>
<li><code>heading_class</code> – defaults to <code>'rc_sitemap_heading'</code>. CSS Class added to the heading element.</li>
<li><code>child_of</code> – defaults to empty. Display only the sub-pages of a single page by ID. Default 0 (all pages). Note, only works for hierarchical post types.</li>
<li><code>depth</code> – defaults to empty. Number of levels in the hierarchy of pages to include in the generated list. Accepts -1 (any depth), 0 (all pages), 1 (top-level pages only), and n (pages to the given n depth).</li>
<li><code>exclude</code> – defaults to empty. Comma-separated list of post IDs to exclude.</li>
<li><code>include</code> – defaults to empty. Comma-separated list of post IDs to include.</li>
<li><code>wrapper</code> – defaults to <code>'ul'</code>. Wrapping element of the list. Note, do not include greater than / less than characters, only the alphanumeric characters e.g. ul, p etc.</li>
<li><code>wrapper_class</code> – defaults to <code>'rc_sitemap_list'</code>. CSS Class added to the wrapping element of the list.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Example usage:</h3>
The most basic shortcode will render a list of <code>page</code> post type entries as an unordered HTML list in ascending order with no list heading:
<pre><code>[rc_sitemap]
</code></pre>
The following is an example of a more advanced usage with custom settings applied via the various additional attributes:
<pre><code>[rc_sitemap post_type="your_cpt_name" orderby="date" order="DESC" heading_text="My CPT Title" heading_tag="h1" heading_class="my_custom_heading_class" wrapper="ul" wrapper_class="my_custom_wrapper_class"]
</code></pre>
