specify alt and title for [client] shortcode

[wilfried]

Hi,

site: http://actisan.be/ wp /
theme: Gardener

I like very much your shortcode for [client] like this: [client url=”#” image=”image url”]

But is it also possible to specify the alt=”alt” and title=”title” for the image?
Is this something I can try to add myself? But where should I search?

I found it myself. In case someone else need this. There are 2 options, first is fast, second is preferable:

1. you an edit the code in wp-content/themes/skt-gardening/sktframe/core-functions.php like this:
function clientbox($atts){
extract( shortcode_atts(array(
‘url’ => ‘url’,
‘image’ => ‘image’,
‘alt’ => ‘alt’
), $atts));

return ‘
<div class=”clientbox”>
`

2. You can make a plugin for it (looks safer) where you can add other things as well. Create a folder eg: ‘my-thing’, put there a file in and name it ‘my-thing.php’, then put the following in that file:

<?php
/*
  Plugin Name: My Thing
  Description: some description
  Author: your name
  Version: 1.0
  Author URI: http://your site
*/

// Shortcode MyClient
/*[myclient url="#" image="image" alt="alt"]*/
function myclientbox($atts){
		extract( shortcode_atts(array(
			'url' => 'url',
			'image' => 'image',
			'alt' => 'alt'
		), $atts));
		
		return '
                <div class="clientbox">
                    <a href="'.$url.'" target="_blank"><img src="'.$image.'" alt="'.$alt.'" title="'.$alt.'" /></a>
                </div>
		';
}
add_shortcode('myclient','myclientbox');

Then use the shortcode [myclient] instead of [client].

Of course if someone knows other / better options the please share 😉

I messed up the option 1 in my reply. In fact it is just change the line with ‘alt’ in it and after the return you have to add ‘alt’ and ‘title’ as in the second option.
