How To Create ShortCode WordPress Plugin

Shortcode are special code in wordpress to show specific function with easy efforts. Shortcode is begin with [ and end with ]. For example function which we will display amazon product with shortcode [azproduct]. With shortcode you can use function coloring easily, or if you need only specific parameter change, shortcode is perfect for your needs.

To enable shortcode you must register it with function :

add_shortcode( 'your_shortcode_name', 'your_shortcode_function' );
function your_shortcode_function($attr,$content) {
}

Here is sample amazon link shortcode code :

<?php
/*
Plugin Name: ZZ Amazon Product ShortCode

*/

add_shortcode( 'azproduct', 'azproduct_link' );

// The callback function that will replace [azproduct]
function azproduct_link( $attr ) {
	
	$asin = '0385495323';
	if ( isset( $attr['asin'] ) ) {
		$asin = $attr['asin'];
	}
	
	$title= 'Buy Now';
	if ( isset( $attr['title'] ) ) {
		$title = $attr['title'];
	}
	
	return '<a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/'. $asin .'" > '. $title .' </a > ';
}

add_shortcode( 'azproduct_content', 'azproduct_content' );
function azproduct_content( $attr , $content) {
	$a = shortcode_atts( array(
	  'color' => '',
	  'bgcolor' => ''
	), $attr );
	
	return '<div style="color:'. $a['color'] .';background-color:' . $a['bgcolor'] .';">'. $content . '</div>';
}

You can use shortcode in your editor with code like this : 
[azproduct asin="1476755744" title="Red Notice"]
[azproduct_content color="#ff0000" bgcolor="#cc0cc0"]This is contents[/azproduct_content]
