e.nigma buttons

外掛說明

e.nigma buttons is a lightweight plugin that adresses a common problem that applies to many WordPress users: Visually highlight a link (e.g. a download link). One great solution is the use of buttons

The purpose of a button is clear. You press that button and something happens. This is a well known principle that most users are aware of. In contrast to regular text links (e.g. a download link), buttons are more likely to be noticed, especially if you use them in combination with an icon.

e.nigma buttons allows you to easily create those visually attractive buttons using a simple shortcode environment.

Development of the plugin is an open process. The current version is available on github:

Shortcodes & Attributes

e.nigma buttons adds the shortcode [button] to your installation. The following options can be used to adjust the button for your needs:

• label: The label of your button
• icon: The icon of your button
• link: The link of your button
• color: The color of button
• border: yes (default) or no
• size: small, medium (default) or large
• class: Additional CSS classes that will be added to your buttons icon

Most of the shortcodes attributes are self explaining. However, it must be noted that the icon attribute can be filled by using modififed Font Awesome shortcodes.

For instance: If you want to use the GitHub icon you would search for that icon in the list of all icons. What you will find is the corresponding CSS class. For e.nigma buttons the name of the icon (which is obtained if stripping the “fa-” in the beginning of the CSS class) is used. For GitHub the CSS class would be fa-github. Thus, github is your value for the icon attribute.

Colors

The following colors are avaible:
* green
* orange
* purple
* cyan
* white
* red
* black

In addition to those values you can also use a hex color code (e.g. #ff3600)

Icons
