Description

This plugins adds two short codes [boardgameprice id=xxxx] and
[boardgamepricebox id=xxxx] for embedding the best price for purchasing a
specific board game. The information is taken from
https://boardgameprices.co.uk

You get the product ID from the URL of the product you would like to show
the price for. For instance
https://boardgameprices.co.uk/item/show/7595/caverna-the-cave-farmers
Here the ID is 7595.

Some options can be changes in the settings panel in the administration of
WordPress. Here you can change the currency, shipping destination
calculation and stock preference.

Attributes available are:
* id: A comma-separated list of product IDs to show. Will take the first for [boardgameprice] and will list them all for [boardgamepricebox]
* currency: An override of the currency setting.
* destination: An override of the destination setting.
* delivery: An override of the delivery setting.
* sort: An override of the sorting setting.

The plugin can be translated with the i18n part of WordPress.

Installation

  1. Upload boardgameprices directory to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory
  2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
  3. Insert shortcode [boardgameprice id=xxx] inside your content or [boardgamepricebox id=xxx] to get a nice box.

No Canadian option

September 20, 2023
I went into settings to see how to use it. There’s no option to set Canadian currency, or instructions on how to use it. I thought it was just going to show the listed prices for the boardgame but if I have to go to the site profile and set it up, may as well just manually type it in myself and skip the plugin. Also, the 5-Star review is from the plugin author, so it’s a fake review
