 * Using Shortcodes
    Shortcode Example
 * Using the standard shortcode will create a basic upload form that will send uploads
   to the directory specified on the settings page of this plugin. There are two
   optional attributes that can be attached to this shortcode.
    Standard Shortcode
 * [rad-dropbox]
 * Attribute Options
 * The “dir” attribute allows you to define the specific directory where uploads
   will be uploaded to. If the “dir” attribute is not used or is undefined, files
   will be uploaded to the directory specified under the settings page.
 * The “button” attribute allows you to specify the upload button text. If the “
   button” attribute is not used or is undefined, a default button text will appear.
   
   With Button Attribute
 * [rad-dropbox button=”Upload!”]
 * With Directory Attribute
    Remember opening slash!
 * [rad-dropbox dir=”/Path/To/Folder”]
 * Together
    Remember opening slash!
 * [rad-dropbox dir=”/Path/To/Folder” button=”Upload!”]
 * Custom Styling With CSS
    Attached Classes
 * Every element that displays with the shortcode has its own attached class. This
   allows you to customize the look and feel of the shortcode form by adding the
   class names to your stylesheet, and customizing as you see fit.
 * There is a class attached to the form element, file selection element, & upload
   button element.
 * In addition, there is also a div around the file selection element, & another
   around the upload button element, as outlined below.
    Black – Error Message
 * div.rad-dropbox-error { CSS Here! }
 * Black – Success Message
 * div.rad-dropbox-success { CSS Here! }
 * Green – File Select DIV
 * div.rad-dropbox-file { CSS Here! }
 * Blue – Upload Button DIV
 * div.rad-dropbox-button { CSS Here! }
 * Red – Form Element
 * form.rad-dropbox-uploader { CSS Here! }
 * Orange – File Select Element
 * input.rad-dropbox-file { CSS Here! }
 * Purple – Upload Button Element
 * input.rad-dropbox-button { CSS Here! }

 * I could not get the dir argument in the shortcode working so I tweaked the plugin
   with this
 * in: classes/dropbox.class.php
 * before the call to upload() I check to see if dest was set
 *     ```
       if(!isset($_POST['dest'])){ $directory = "/"; }
       else { $directory = $_POST['dest']; }
       ```
   
 * This seems to have fixed my issue. There may be something deeper going on OR 
   I may be misusing the plugin.
 * Tx

 * I put the shortcode in my page and it doesn’t work it just displays the shortcode.
