Wordpress plugin to add shortcodes for App Store links. (out now!)

jonmulcahy

edit: renamed title. was "who here uses wordpress?"

So i just developed a wordpress plugin that allows you to use shortcodes to create links to all the major markets with icons. It allows you define anywhere from 1 to 8 stores in one line. It supports Amazon, Android, iPad, iPhone, Universal Apps, Mac App Store, nook and Windows 8.

this is the sample code:

[storelinks amazon="http://linktostore/" android="http://linktostore/" ipad="http://linktostore/" iphone="http://linktostore/" mac="http://linktostore/" nook="http://linktostore/" universal="http://linktostore/" win8="http://linktostore/"]

you can also choose just one or two:

[storelinks amazon="http://linktostore/"]
[storelinks amazon="http://linktostore/" android="http://linktostore/"]

This image shows all available options, then a test of each one individually.

Is this something you would be interested in? I've got to polish it up a bit and create some readme files, but I'm planning on uploading it to the wodpress plugin repository next week.

This is AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks!

good, I'm glad I'm not the only one who will find this useful.

right now it only has those dark icons, but I want to make a whole set of them and add some flags to choose different images.

That sounds fantastic! they'd match up well with the design of my site. Do that have a color change or tool tip on hover? Having a custom hover color or tool tip option would be tremendous.

No tooltips yet, but I could easily add the name of the store.
a change on hover is some of the polish I'm working on

Downloading

and already making a change, the autocentering doesn't work as well as I hoped. I'm going to remove it so you can decide how to display it.

jonmulcahy

version 1.3 was just uploaded. Hopefully if you have any of the prior versions it automatically updates.
