Linkify Authors

Descrizione

The plugin provides a widget called “Linkify Authors” as well as a template tag, c2c_linkify_authors(), which allow you to easily specify authors to list and how to list them. Authors are specified by either ID or slug. See other parts of the documentation for example usage and capabilities.

Developer Documentation

Developer documentation can be found in DEVELOPER-DOCS.md. That documentation covers the template tag and hook provided by the plugin.

As an overview, this is the template tag provided by the plugin:

  • c2c_linkify_authors() : Display links to each of any number of authors specified via author IDs/slugs. You can customize text to show before and/or after the entire listing, between each author, and what to display (if anything) when no authors are listed.

This is the hook provided by the plugin:

  • c2c_linkify_authors : Allows use of an alternative approach to safely invoke c2c_linkify_authors() in such a way that if the plugin were deactivated or deleted, then your calls to the function won’t cause errors in your site.

Installazione

  1. Install via the built-in WordPress plugin installer. Or install the plugin code inside the plugins directory for your site (typically /wp-content/plugins/).
  2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ admin menu in WordPress
  3. Use the provided widget or the c2c_linkify_authors() template tag in one of your templates (be sure to pass it at least the first argument indicating what author IDs and/or slugs to linkify — the argument can be an array, a space-separate list, or a comma-separated list). Other optional arguments are available to customize the output.
  4. Optional: Use the “Linkify Authors” widget in one of the sidebars provided by your theme.

FAQ

What happens if I tell it to list something that I have mistyped, haven’t created yet, or have deleted?

If a given ID/slug doesn’t match up with an existing author then that item is ignored without error.

How do I get items to appear as a list (using HTML tags)?

Whether you use the template tag or the widget, specify the following information for the appropriate fields/arguments:

Before text: <ul><li> (or <ol><li>)
After text: </li></ul> (or </li></ol>)
Between authors: </li><li>

Does this plugin include unit tests?

Yes.
