<p>Template Dictionary is a plugin which can be used to create template variables editable by admins.</p>
<p>The plugin is multilingual ready. It includes Polylang integration, another multilingual plugin can be integrated with filters.</p>
<h4>Admin pages</h4>
<p>There are few admin pages for managing the plugin.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Template Dictionary</strong> – view, edit and delete the template variables values</li>
<li><strong>Settings list</strong> – view, edit and delete template variables settings</li>
<li><strong>Add setting</strong> – add new or edit template variables setting</li>
<li><strong>Edit values</strong> – edit a value, this page is accessable from the page <strong>Template Dictionary</strong></li>
<li><strong>Export/Import</strong> – export settings and values to xml or import it from xml</li>
</ul>
<h4>Usage in template</h4>
<p>You can use a value in template by calling function <code>get</code> of Template Dictionary object, which can be accessed by function <code>TmplDict()</code>.</p>
<p>For example, if you set a setting with code <em>the_code</em>, you can use it’s value by:</p>
<pre><code>TmplDict()->get( 'the_code' );
</code></pre>
<p>This function returns the value. If you need to echo the value, you can use function <code>eget</code>. Both functions have an optional argument <code>$default</code>, which is the default returned/echoed value, if the admin value is empty.</p>
<p>You can also get the value by accessing the code as property:</p>
<pre><code>$value = TmplDict()->the_code;
</code></pre>
<h4>Usage with shortcode</h4>
<p>You can also use a shortcode <code>[tmpl_dict]</code> with attributes <code>code</code>, <code>default</code> and <code>do_shortcode</code>. The last attribute says, if the function <code>do_shortcode</code> will be called on the value.</p>
<h4>Setup template language</h4>
<p>Default template language can be set by setting the constant <code>TMPL_DICT_DEFAULT_LANG</code> in wp-config. Default value of this constant consists of two first characters of the current WP locale. <strong>It is important to set the default language constant properly if you plan to create your site multilingual in future.</strong></p>
<p><strong>If you have a multilingual site</strong>, you need to set current template language with the filter <code>template_dictionary_language</code>. For users of Polylang, it is already integrated in this plugin, the current template language is the Polylang current language slug.</p>
<h4>Setup available languages</h4>
<p><strong>If you have a multilingual site</strong>, you also need to set available languages with the filter <code>template_dictionary_languages</code>. Again, if Polylang is activated, these available languages consist of Polylang languages slugs.</p>
<p>If your site is not multilingual, there is only one available language – the default language.</p>
<h4>Use JS object</h4>
<p>To generate JavaScript dictionary object, you need to define <code>TMPL_DICT_JS_VAR_NAME</code> constant. Add to <code>wp_config.php</code>:</p>
<pre><code>define( 'TMPL_DICT_JS_VAR_NAME', 'dict' );
</code></pre>
<p>Then you can use it in JS:</p>
<pre><code>$('#some-element').text( dict.the_code );
</code></pre>

<p>A WordPress plugin that allows for flexible text or HTML to be bound to shortcodes that can be inserted into pages, posts, or templates. This allows for the same text/HTML to be inserted in multiple places and then managed from one dashboard.</p>
<h3>Usage</h3>
<ul>
<li>Activating the plugin creates a new plugin menu option in the left sidebar of the WordPress admin dashboard titled “Shortcode Datastore”.</li>
<li>Clicking the “Shortcode Datastore” button will open the plugin dashboard which will display a list of the currently available shortcodes.
<ul>
<li>Clicking the “Add Shortcode” button will open a new editing window to create a shortcode.
<ul>
<li>The key selected for the new shortcode must be unique (cannot be used for another shortcode).</li>
<li>By default, keys are converted to lower case and spaces are replaced with underscores.</li>
<li>The shortcode value can be entered in the standard WordPress editor either as text or HTML. This value is what will be displayed when the shortcode is used on the site.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>The shortcode table displays the existing shortcode entries.
<ul>
<li>Clicking the “Edit” button for a row will open an edit window where the shortcode value can be modified.</li>
<li>Clicking the “Delete” button for a row will remove the shortcode key and value.</li>
<li>The shortcode itself can be copied from the input field and inserted into a page, post, or template (anywhere standard WordPress shortcodes work).</li>
<li>Replacement variables are a way to add dynamic content to your shortcodes. Replacement variables follow the format of <code>%NAME%</code>, with the value being replaced at render time. The replacement variables currently supported are:
<ul>
<li><code>%YEAR%</code>: Replaced with the current four character year value.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Shortcode Datastore also works with WordPress multisite installations. Shortcodes can be created and accessed from any subsite where the plugin is enabled (network activation is recommended).</li>
</ul>
