d12-moodle-shortcodes
A filter that adds WordPress-like shortcodes to Moodle
What this filter does
This filter allows you to use a shortcode, such as [wi]
to dynamically add content to Moodle blocks and activities.
How to install this filter
- Upload the entire directory to the
moodle/filter
directory. - Make sure the plugin directory and enclosed files have the same permissions as other filters. (Use their permission scheme as a reference.)
- Go to Site Administration >> Notifications and upgrade your database.
- Go to Site Administration >> Plugins >> Filters >> Manage Filters and activate the plugin.
How to use this filter
This filter is preset to use [wi]
to add <div class="wi">
, and [/wi]
to add </div>
.
You will need to go to the custom CSS area of your theme and define a style for .wi
css class.
How to adapt this filter
This filter uses the php function str_replace
to replace the shortcode with your desired text. The basic formula is
str_replace (
'text to replace',
'text to replace it with',
$string_to_replace_text_in
)
Both text to replace
and text to replace it with
will accept arrays, so you can define a lot of shortcodes in a single function. I have not yet tested performance when adding many shortcodes.
