 * Cracked : removing the text button on the editor so an EDITOR role user only 
   access the html pane
 * As i said in the todo list, did a bit of searching and found the following code
   which works !!
 * Add this to your themes function.php file (should reside or needs creating in
   the root of your themes directory)
 * `
    <?php add_filter( 'wp_default_editor', create_function('', 'return "tinymce";'));
   add_action( 'admin_head', 'disable_html_editor' ); function disable_html_editor(){
   global $current_user; get_currentuserinfo(); if ($current_user->user_level !=
   10) { echo '<style type="text/css">#content-html, #quicktags {display: none;}
   </style>'; } }
 * My work here is done !!

 * Hi Jack and all.
 * Finally had another play with the noneditable under the standard wordpress editor.
   Its not the best solution but it is a working. Not the best solution since I 
   am not sure if a wordpress update may change one of the files so you might have
   to reapply the fix.
 * You may be able load the functions and put them in your themes functions.php –
   I will try and explore later
 * 1) Downloaded tinymce
    2) Expand / Search for the tinymce\js\tinymce\plugins 
   directory you will see the noneditable 3) copy this directory and paste it to
   wp-includes\js\tinymce\plugins 4) then go to and load the wp-includes\class-wp-
   editor.php in your text editor and find the code / block
 * `/**
    * Filter the list of TinyMCE external plugins. * * The filter takes an 
   associative array of external plugins for * TinyMCE in the form 'plugin_name'
   => 'url'. * * The url should be absolute, and should include the js filename *
   to be loaded. For example: * 'myplugin' => 'http://mysite.com/wp-content/plugins/
   myfolder/mce_plugin.js'. * * If the external plugin adds a button, it should 
   be added with * one of the 'mce_buttons' filters. * * @since 2.5.0 * * @param
   array $external_plugins An array of external TinyMCE plugins. */ $mce_external_plugins
   = apply_filters( 'mce_external_plugins', array() );
 *  $plugins = array(
    'charmap', 'colorpicker', 'hr', 'lists', 'media', 'paste','
   tabfocus', 'textcolor', 'fullscreen', 'wordpress', 'wpautoresize', 'wpeditimage','
   wpemoji', 'wpgallery', 'wplink', 'wpdialogs', 'wptextpattern', 'wpview', 'wpembed',
 *  ); 
    4) Add the line underneath ‘wpembed’ 5) `'noneditable',` 6) Save the code
   7) You can now use the editor in text mode and use `<div="noneditable">Protected
   Area</div>` and then when you swap to HTML mode it will now see the code but 
   will be non editable
 * To take this a stage further you can make it so the noneditable code is not shown
 * I altered \wp-includes\js\tinymce\skins\lightgray\content.min.css and unminified
   it and added this around line 68
 * body#tinymce.mcenoneditable {display:none}
 * {if you dont want to unminify the file – search the file and paste after `.mce-
   pagebreak {cursor: default;display: block;border: 0;width: 100%;height: 5px;border:
   1px dashed #666;margin-top: 15px;page-break-before: always} `
 * Finally by adding an extra bit of code in a functions file, every time you go
   in to the editor, it will start on the html tab so is a bit safer for a normal
   editor user
 * Create a file /wp-content/themes/yourthemenamehere/includes/theme-functions.php
   and just add this line of code
 * `<?php
    add_filter( 'wp_default_editor', create_function('', 'return "tinymce";'));
 * The ultimate on the todo list would be able to assign an editor users which then
   has the text tab hidden thus reducing risk of a non tech user altering bits but
   unsure if that would happen, maybe a feature for tinymce to add or wordpress 
   i not really sure.
 * So i hope this helps anyone out .. as it has taken a lot of blood sweat and tears
   and many hours of determination !!!

 * [13 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-shortcodes-pro-shortcode-to-php-functions-and-beyond/#post-3036173)
 * ok after 3 days of looking at this and trying to work out what i could and i 
   cant do within the realms of the php
 * I found that some functions of wordpress and php would cause the code to crash.
   
   the use of
 * `$templatedir = bloginfo('template_directory')`
    result = shortcode pro to crash
   or just display the template directory at the top of the page
 * but after reading for an alternative i found the
 * `$templatedir = get_bloginfo('template_directory')`
    result = allowed result 
   for string maipulation
 * i presume how certain functions have to be parsed before the rendering of the
   page / post and some can be evoked as the page / post text is being built which
   would be after a header and above is processed
 * i know the code is not the most tightest but thought that it will give people
   an insight
 * The code fills in
    - relative root to image (no domain prefix)
       from attributes set up
    - adds the correct alt tag or a blank one if none is entered
    - the chance to add height or width or both on the image size
    - tidies up the output string so that there is no extra blank spaces between
      parameters
 * custom code = php
    attributes alt / alt description / text attributes height /
   height size % or px / text attributes width / width size % or px / text
 *     ```
       if ($atts["alt"] =='alt=""') { $alt='';} else { $alt = 'alt="'.ltrim($atts["alt"]).'"'; }
   
       if ($atts["width"] ==' ') { $width='';} else { $width = 'width="'.ltrim($atts["width"]).'"'; }
   
       if ($atts["height"] ==' ') { $height='';} else { $height = 'height="'.ltrim($atts["height"]).'"'; }
   
       $params = $alt.' '.$width.' '.$height;
   
       $returnstring = get_bloginfo('template_directory'). '/images/' .$content.'" '.$params);
   
       return '<img src="'. str_replace('  ',' ',$$returnstring).' />';
       ```
   
 * hope this helps someone and gives a guide of how to use the custom code and what
   pitfalls you may come up against.
 * i think most people would not take this long to resolve an issue as it would 
   be a fine line of the above and then manually hardcoding shortcode functions 
   but i wanted to see it through
 * Great work matt with the plugin 🙂

 * thank you for your reply Christine.. you advice confirmed what i did actually
   get working after some sleep ..
 * also word of warning if anyone uses wamp as a local test server when trying to
   achieve this .. you need to make sure you have activated the rewrite_module in
   apache configuration as after doing the above steps when i clicked on the friendly
   name it would display a page cant be found
 * hope this will be some use for someone 🙂
