## 外掛說明
Here at interconnect/it we have a policy of developing client sites with the premise
of “content manage everything!” That means the little notices on sites, minor widgets
and so on should not only be content managed, but they should be easy for both an
end-user and a developer to work with.
To that end, we developed Spots. This creates a custom post type that allows you
to create widgets using a visual editor, whilst also giving developers an easy hook
for the creation of content managable elements within a theme.
The plugin now uses caching in order to help ensure that the load on a typical site
is kept to a minimum. Performance is important!
The plugin is prepared for translation, if you’d like to drop us a line about your
translation you can contact us through our [website](http://interconnectit.com/about/contact/).
### Developer Notes
Spots provides 2 template tags for developers to use shown below with their supported
arguments.
```
icit_spot( $id_or_name, $template );
```
* `$id_or_name`: Required. A numeric ID or the name of a spot as a string.
* `$template`: Optional. A string used in a call to `get_template_part()`
This template tag always echos out the spot.
```
icit_get_spot( $id_or_name, $template, $echo );
```
Same as the above with an extra argument:
* `$echo`: Optional. Defaults to false. A boolean to indicate whether to echo the
spot content or just return it.
#### Basic Usage
You can use spots to replace boilerplate text in your themes. If you have areas
in your themes where typically you would hard code the text you could use the following
code:
```
```
The above code would output the contents of a spot titled ‘Copyright’. If the spot
does not exist it will be created as a draft. Spots in draft mode are only visible
to logged in users with editing capabilities.
#### Templates
The plugin will initially look for a file in your theme using the `get_template_part()`
function. If you have a file called `spot.php` in your theme that will be the default
template for all spots. The `icit_spot()` function can take a second parameter for
the template part to use for example:
```
```
The above code will make the plugin look in your theme folder for a file called `
spot-copyright.php` to use for the output. If not available it will fall back to`
spot.php` and if that is not available it will simply output the spot contents.
Use templates when you want to display a featured image from a spot or if you require
some additional/alternative markup for the spot. Spots are just like posts, so in
the templates you retrieve the contents of the spot using `the_content()` just as
would in the loop.
**Basic spot template example:**
```
```
**Spot template with featured image:**
```
```
#### Additional
There are many filters and hooks available to get even more out of spots so drop
by the plugin homepage or use the forums if there is something you need to do with
spots but aren’t sure how.

## 安裝方式
#### The install
1. You can install the plugin using the auto-install tool from the WordPress back-
end.
2. To manually install, upload the folder `/spots/` to `/wp-content/plugins/` directory.
3. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
4. You should now see the Spots widget show up under ‘widgets’ menu. Drop that widget
into a sidebar and you can immediately create Spots.
5. You should also now see a new post type appear called Spots in your WordPress back-
end. You can create Spots here for use later or in development.
#### Using the plugin
1. Once the plugin is activated, you will see a new widget appear titled Spots.
2. Drop the widget into an appropriate widget space.
3. If you haven’t already created a new Spot, you can do so directly from the widget,
using the visual editor.
4. If you have already created a Spot you can opt to use this from the drop down.
5. You can edit Spots just like Posts or Pages – you’ll see Spots just below the Comments
menu.
6. Spots are also available as a shortcode. Click the icon in the rich text editor
on posts or pages and search for the spot you want to insert.
## 常見問題集
### When I edit a spot template I don’t see the change
Spots has a built in caching system, a popular request when we first launched the
plugin. This creates a problem when you edit the template files that spots use as
we can’t detect changes without creating a database query.
Place the following code in your functions.php to turn off the cache:
```
define( 'SPOTS_CACHE_TIME', 0 );
```
_NOTE:_ We only recommend doing this for your development environment however if
your spots are dynamic or you use a site-wide caching plugin then leave the above
definition in.
### Can I use Spots to replace the clunky old Text Widget?
Yes indeed – in fact that was the first inspiration behind creating Spots – we felt
the text widget was only suitable for use by people who knew HTML well. Spots gives
you a visual editor, making this much easier to use.
### Can I use Spots anywhere in my theme?
You can, if your theme either has built-in support for Spots, or you’ve added the
appropriate template tags.
### What happens if I put an image in a Spot?
The image will be used as you’ve input it – bear in mind that in certain locations
this may not work well, or your theme may not have appropriate styling in place.
In most cases it will work just fine, but do be careful not to insert images larger
than the space you have available.
### How does the featured image work?
If you have a featured image, your theme can use this for display options. If your
theme does not fully support Spots then featured images will have no effect and
only the main content of the Spot will be displayed. See the developer notes for
more information on adding templates to a theme to get the most out of spots.

## 變更記錄
#### 1.3.9
* Updated “tested up to” value
#### 1.3.8
* Fixed: Fix widget media button
#### 1.3.7
* Fixed: “Insert spot” menu not working.
#### 1.3.6
* Fixed: Double icon effect
#### 1.3.5
* Fixed: Fatal error on versions < 4.3 with new function format_for_editor()
#### 1.3.4
* Fixed: Widgets not working in 4.3
* Fixed: Notices about deprecated functions
#### 1.3.3
* Fixed: More fixes for WordPress 4.0.1 and the quote problem.
* Fixed: WordPress 4.0+ sending media to a tinyMCE in a widget would fail silently.
* Fixed: Few other fixes and tweaks.
#### 1.3.2
* Fixed: WordPress as of 4.0.1 makes the assumption that quotes after a number
are always to denote feet/inches, this messes up the very late running of our
shortcode. I’ve implemented a fix that’ll repair the quotes around the post_id
in the shortcode.
#### 1.3.1
* Fixed: Issue with admin https and the front end http.
#### 1.3
* Added: Filter to disable the edit spot button. Adding add_filter( ‘spots_show_edit_link’,‘
__return_false’ ); to your functions.php should result in the removal of the
inline edit link.
* Fixed: Media button no more in line with WordPress best practice.
* Added: Toggles to the widget admin that’ll let you edit raw text. The HTML button
was removed from WP 3.9 and rather than add it back in I thought it bettet to
use something similar to the tabs on the normal post edit page.
#### 1.2.2
* Fixed: Titles can be blank again. Oops!
* Fixed: Widget drag handles can be clicked to open the widget and show TinyMCE.
#### 1.2.1
* Fix the missing media buttons on the widget interface.

* Fixed: Removed some strict warnings with PHP 5.5.
#### 1.1.8

#### 1.1.6
* Fixed: late run shortcodes in content not being run through shortcode_unautop()
#### 1.1.5

area incase of `overflow:hidden;`.
* Added: ‘Edit spot’ link also appears on spots referenced directly in template
#### 1.1.4
* Fixed: Compatibility issue with various plugins that modify the content after
do_shortcode has run – thanks to @NickToye for spotting it
* Removed: Ability to view featured image in widget screen in WP 3.5 or above.
You can still set it in the full editor and in the add media popup
* Fixed: Empty paragraph was being inserted when moving a widget around
* Added: Spots no longer cached if current logged in user can edit them
#### 1.1.3
* Fixed: Spot edit buttons on the frontend would appear underneath other items
making them unclickable
* Fixed: The spots menu icon under iOS and other high density displays now display
correctly
* Modified: Edit buttons are now labeled “Edit Spots” rather than just Edit
* Added: Shortcodes in content now have the same edit buttons on hover that widgets
have
#### 1.1.2
* Fixed: CSS rules weren’t a high enough priority in some themes, increase the
specificity of the colours so they’re not overridden
* Added: New setting, lets you choose if search engines will index individual spots,
set to no by default, prevents individual spots showing up in search listings
ahead of the pages they’re intended to appear on
