Shortcodes

Pure comes with a ton of built-in shortcodes available when editing pages in WordPress. Below is a complete list of available shortcodes, and how to use them.

{button}

The button shortcode lets you create links that look like buttons. There are several helpful parameters available in this shortcode:

  • url -- specify a URL for this button.
  • class -- lets you add an additional class (besides \'btn\') to the button.
  • target -- allows you to target a new tab/window with target='_blank'.
  • download -- the button will force a download of the url parameter, and will download with the filename provided in the parameter itself.

The whole shortcode may look something like this.

{button url=/ class=myclass download=file.ext target=_top}Button Text{/button}

{calculator}

A {calculator} shortcode exists to help quickly implement javascript loan calculators that can provide information about a provided loan, or compare multiple loans to each, depending upon the parameters you pass to it.

  • amount -- pass a default amount for the calculator
  • rate -- specify a default rate for the calculator
  • term -- specify a default term for the loan
  • rate_compare -- specify a comparison rate to make the calculator

The calculator shortcode will output a small form onto the page and attach some javascript events to it that will ensure it auto-calculates whenever a value is changed. Here\'s what a completed calculator shortcode may look like:

{calculator amount=5000 rate=7.5 term=36m /}

{twitter-aggregator}

The {twitter-aggregator} shortcode allows you to fetch multiple twitter feeds, and aggregate them into a single listing. Visit the settings page to set your API keys and default usernames, and use these parameters in the shortcode to customize the widget.

  • usernames - comma separated list of twitter handles to fetch
  • count - set a count (default: 10)
  • styles - output styles (default: true)
  • update_interval - number of minutes to wait before refreshing the cache (default: 10)

The twitter-aggregator shortcode will output a twitter widget that aggregates (combines) multiple twitter feeds into a single date-ordered feed. A final shortcode may look something like this:

{twitter-aggregator usernames=reuters,ap count=5 /}
