This is part of the azurecurve ClassicPress Plugins which introduces the plugins I have available for ClassicPress.

The plugin I am going to cover in this post, is an existing one which has been brought up to standard; Flags.

Functionality

Flags allows a scalable SVG flag to be displayed in a post or page using the [flag] shortcode; 279 public domain flags are included.

The shortcode usage is [flag id=”gb” width=”20px” border=”1px solid black”] where the id is the country code shown below; width and border are optional paramaters and can be defaulted from the settings. Shortcode usage of [flag=”gb”] where default parameters are to be used is also supported.

The plugin I am going to cover in this post, is an existing one which has been brought up to standard; Conditional Links.

Functionality

This plugin allows use of the cpl (conditional-links#download page link cbl (conditional blog link) shortcode with a slug parameter to link to a page whether it exists or not; the content between the opening and closing shortcode tags will be the text visible to visitors. If the page exists it will be linked, otherwise standard unlinked text will be displayed.

This allows you to publish pages while the site is being build without having broken links, but as soon as the page, or post, is published, the link will immediately be present and working without the need to go back and edit a page).

The plugin I am going to cover in this post, is a brand new plugin; Code.

Functionality

I’ve never found a code formatting plugin which I liked so I’ve been manually formatting code to post for a while; this plugin is still manually formatting, but provides a set of shortcodes which can be sued to colour text for SQL and PHP.

A copyright message can be set via the plugins settings page and output using a shortcode.

The plugin I am going to cover in this post, is an existing one which has been standardised; BBCode.

The plugin I am going to cover in this post, is a brand new one; Avatars.

Functionality

The Avatars plugin has three key pieces of functionality:

• Upload an image file using an FTP client, to the plugins images folder, called CustomAvatar.png and, via the Discussion settings page, set this as the default avatar to replace the Gravatars used by default.
• The admin can, via the plugin Settings page, set an option to allow only local avatars which will use the default avatar rather than any Gravatar a user might be using.
• Users can upload their own avatar which is stored in the media library.

Demo

This site is using the Avatars plugin; you can see this in the first comment of this post where you can see my IG avatar.
