This plugin provides a shortcode that when inserted will display the body from a referenced “boilerplate.” A boilerplate is a special post type defined by this plugin. References can be made by title, path or ID. Below is a list of shortcode attributes used by the boilerplate shortcode. Examples are given for hypothetical “Copyright” and “Payment Terms.” All attributes are optional except one of “byid“, “bypath” or “bytitle” must be specified:
<ul>
<li>
bytitle: The full case-sensitive title of the boilerplate, i.e. “Copyright” or “Payment Terms“
</li>
<li>
bypath: The editable lowercase path for the boilerplate, i.e. “copyright” or “payment-terms” (vs. “/boilerplates/copyright/” or “/boilerplates/payment-terms/“)
</li>
<li>
byid: Refers to the internal ID from the wp_posts table for the boilerplate post, i.e. 234 or 1273
</li>
<li>
showtitle: “true” or “false” (defaults to “false“); if “true” boilerplate content will be prefixed with the title of the boilerplate as entered in the edit screen, or optionally with a “title” attribute you specify.
</li>
<li>
title: Use to override the displayed title of the boilerplate in specific cases. When “title” is specified “showtitle” is implicity set to “true.”
</li>
<li>
titletag: HTML element used to wrap the title when “showtitle” is explicity “true” or “title” is set (defaults to “h3.”)
</li>
<li>
id: The HTML “id” attribute applied to the div element that wraps the boilerplate and it’s optional title. If not specificed the div will not get have an “id” set.
</li>
<li>
class: The HTML “class” attribute applied to the div& element that wraps the boilerplate and it’s optional title (defailts to “boilerplate.”)
</li>
</ul>

Simple Shortcodes provides an easy to use mechanism for creating and using custom shortcodes.
After installing and activating SimpleShortcodes, a Simple Shortcodes configuration item is added to your Settings menu.
From the configuration page you can create new simple shortcodes and edit and delete existing simple shortcodes.
The current version can only make simple substitutions. Shortcode parameters ([shortcode parameter=”value”]) and content wrapping ([shortcode]some content[/shortcode]) are currently not supported.
Simple shortcodes are stored in a database table (MB_SimpleShortcodes), which contains two fields (name, value).
Beware: Use unique names for your shortcodes. If you use the same shortcode name as that used by another plugin, one of the short code definitions will be overwritten by the other without any warning.
