WP-pluginInfo

WP-pluginInfo allows you to use a shortcode to list information about your activated plugins.

Valid shortcode syntax (a shortcut for [plugininfo] is [pi]):

• [plugininfo /]: Lists all activated plugin using markup in WP-pluginInfo’s template.php
• [plugininfo]

  %name% version %version% by %author%: %description%

  [/pi]: Lists all activated plugin using the markup between shortcode.
• [plugininfo wp-plugininfo /]: Lists information about specified plugin (in this case, wp-plugininfo). Separate items with space.

Keep in mind there are two shortcodes that do the same thing: [pi] and [plugininfo].

If you like this plugin, please consider giving your honest rating, blogging/tweeting about it or donating. Thank you!

• Use WordPress’ builtin plugin installation system located in your WordPress admin panel, labeled as the “Add New” options in the “Plugins” menu to upload the zip file you downloaded.
• Extract the zip file and upload the resulting “wp-plugininfo” folder on your server under wp-content/plugins/.

All you need to do after that is navigate to your blog’s administration panel, go in the plugins section and enable WP-pluginInfo.

Then simply insert the shortcode [plugininfo] or [pi] to list all plugins and/or [plugininfo plugin_name] or [pi plugin_name] in a post or page.

For more information, see the “Installing Plugins” article on the WordPress Codex.

Any technical requirements?

• You will need PHP5. PHP4 has been officially discontinued since August 8 2008. If this plugin gives you PHP errors (T_STATIC, T_OLD_FUNCTION), you should strongly consider upgrading your PHP installation.
• You will also need at least WordPress 2.5 since WP-pluginInfo is using WordPress’ ShortCode API.

Markup Variables

Here are the available markup variables and their README equivalencies.

• %plugin_url%: Plugin URI
• %name%: Plugin Name
• %version%: Version
• %author%: Author
• %author_url%: Author URI
• %description%: : Description (stripped of HTML for security)
• %extend_url%: An automagic guess at the WordPress Extend plugin URL

Available Shortcodes

Valid shortcode syntax:

• [plugininfo /]: Lists all activated plugin using markup in WP-pluginInfo’s template.php
• [plugininfo]<p><a href="%plugin_url%" target="_blank">%name%</a> version %version% by <a href="%author_url%" target="_blank">%author%</a>: %description%</p>[/pi]: Lists all activated plugin using the markup between shortcode.
• [plugininfo wp-plugininfo /]: Lists information about specified plugin (in this case, wp-plugininfo). Separate items with space.

Keep in mind there are two shortcodes that do the same thing: [pi] and [plugininfo]. You can also combine all three syntaxes described above.
