Public Release: wp-exec

wp-exec allows you to easily embed dynamic content inside your WordPress posts or pages.

The following tags are currently implemented:

• date: insert the current date/time
• archives: outputs a list of your archives (so you no longer need to create a Archive template, etc.)
• categories: outputs a list of your categories
• include: allows you to include a post or page within one another
• function: you may call any wordpress function and embed its output inside any post or page. You can even call functions of activated plugins.
• bloginfo: gives you access to the bloginfo($show) functionality. You can output name, siteurl, version, etc etc.

How are the tags used? It’s pretty easy actually.. for example, lets say you want to create a list of monthly archives?

<exec type="archives" mode="monthly" limit="10" />

How about inserting a previous post inside a page? Or vice-versa?

<exec type="include" id="#" />

You can even have that quoted…

<blockquote>
<exec type="include" id="#" />
</blockquote>

What about inserting a table of plugins used with the pluginsUsed plugin activated? Nope, no more creating custom templates… simply anywhere on a post or page add the following code:

<exec type="function" name="displayPluginsAsTable" />

The possibilities are pretty endless. I have tried to show some interesting examples. I hope you like it. I will continue to implement more tags and support more implementations by request or feature suggestion.

If you are interested, more information on tag specifics can be found at: http://www.navidazimi.com/projects/wp-exec/

Your feedback is always appreciated. This is my second plugin. List Manager (wp-lists) being the first.

Enjoy. Navid.
