One of the fancy things within WordPress-plugins, is the availability of shortcodes. 
These codes will provide access to plugin-specific things, like displaying a gallery, or a Google-Map. 
The downside about this, is that there’s no generic overview of all available shortcodes within your environment.
This plugin will provide a list of all available shortcodes, right where the action is. When you’re editing your content. And it won’t skip the details: it’ll show you what its origin is. 
Most of all, if it’s available in the sourcecode, the documentation will be shown.
The plugin is largely based on <a href="http://php.net/manual/en/book.reflection.php" rel="nofollow ugc">PHP’s Reflection functionality</a>, and therefore only available from PHP version 5.0.0.

Shortcode Reference

This plugin will provide a list and details about available shortcodes in your current installment. All when you need it most - when editing content.

This plugin will let you manage the post references. It is like “node reference” in Drupal CMS module functionality.
Use Reference Settings page to configure publications connections.
After configuring step you will see additional metabox(s) on post editor page. Now you can choose articles of referenced post types to attach it to article you edit.
Plugin stores connected article list to post metas. For template you can use, for example, get_post_meta($post->ID, ‘_ref_ID’, true) to receive that list. As ‘ref_ID’ you should use a meta key configured on Referenced settings page earlier.
Plugin allow you to configure widgets to view the list(s) of attached articles.

REFShraAPI::config_remove($postType, $refKey); 
// Delete REFERENCE config by pair postType / refKey.
REFShraAPI::get($postID = NULL);

REFShraAPI::update($postID = NULL, $refkey, $postIDs);
