Archive Pro Matic Highlight Class

Introducing a new attribute for Archive-Pro-Matic: highlight
Highlight accepts the following values:

  • current-year
  • active-year

Assigning ‘current-year’ as the value of the highlight attribute will add a current-year class to the current year in the archive list. Assigning ‘active-year’ would only be assigned to the archive list when placed on an archive page.

Demos

We have added a bit of css to highlight each of the classes:

 .current-year {
    border-left: 2px solid red;
 }

.active-year {
     border-left: 2px solid blue;
 }

current-year

Assigning ‘current-year’ as the value of the highlight attribute will add a current-year class to the current year in the list:

[archives type="yearly" cat_id="4" limit="5" highlight="current-year"/]

active-year

Assigning ‘active-year’ would only be used on the archive page itself. To see this in action, first visit the an archive page, say 2014 and on that page place an archive list using the sidebar widget or following shortcode.

[archives type="yearly" cat_id="4" limit="5" highlight="active-year"/]

Format: Option

Of course this also needs to work with drop downs.

[archives type="yearly" format="option" highlight="active-year"/]

Print-O-Matic and WordPress Charts

Here is an example of using Print-O-Matic to print a WordPress Chart using wp-charts.

[wpcharts type=”piechart” legend=”false” titles=”Title 1, Title 2, Title 3, Title 4″ values=”3,7,5,12″ id=”my_chart”] 

[print-me target="%prev%"/]

Works in 2.0.
Pre 2.0:
It seems we need to wrap the chart shortcode in a div so we can target that div and include it’s related javascript.
Still not. maybe we also need to include the chart js on the page?
Nope. It seems the HTML Canvas element is not cloning it’s content that was generated by the javascript… hmmm.

Collapse-O-Matic Inline Trigger with Block Target

Shortcode

This is an example of some text that has a trigger placed inline, meaning that the trigger does not break the flow of the text. However, when this triggerhidden content is clicked and the target is expanded, the target would break the paragraph as a display: block element. Naturally, when the element is collapsed, the inline flow returns.

...However, when [expand tag="span" title="this trigger" targtag="span"]hidden content[/expand] is clicked...

The Roll-Your-Own Method

This is an example of some text that has a trigger placed inline, using the roll-your-own method. However, when this trigger hidden content is clicked and the target is expanded, the target would break the paragraph as a display: block element. Naturally, when the element is collapsed, the inline flow returns.

...However, when <span title="this trigger" class="collapseomatic" id="testme2">this trigger</span><span class="collapseomatic_content" id="target-testme2">hidden content</span>
is clicked...
