In this series of articles, I am going to introduce each of the plugins I have developed for ClassicPress, a hard-fork of WordPress, which was originally created to provide an alternative, yet compatible, CMS without the Gutenberg block editor.
The 42nd plugin is Snippets.
Allows snippets of HTML, PHP, JavaScript and CSS to be created; an alternative to using a functions.php file or adding styles to a child theme.
Snippets can be used to create re-usable HTML or JavaScript snippets or to create PHP to add_actions or add_filters without needing to add them to the functions.php file or create a plugin.
The following types of snippet can be created:
- HTML – can be loaded using the shortcode.
- Internal CSS – automatically added as internal stylesheet.
- CSS Stylesheet – automatically loaded.
- Internal JavaScript – automatically added as internal JavaScript.
- JavaScript File – automatically loaded.
- PHP – can be loaded using the shortcode.
- PHP File – automatically loaded.
Shortcode usage is either [snippet id=1013] (where the supplied id value is a snippet post_id) or [snippet slug='hello-world'].
All snippets are loaded only on the site frontend; this protects the admin dashboard from white screen errors caused by badly formed PHP.
Download
The current release of the plugin can be downloaded from GitHub
