Code Snippets CPT

By Jtsternberg

Description

A WordPress plugin for elegantly hosting, managing, and displaying code snippets. Own your own data!

Adds a custom post type for managing your code snippets with taxonomies for classifying the snippets. Embed snippets with syntax highlighting to posts or pages via a handy shortcode insert button that allows you to pick from the most recent snippets. Syntax highlighting provided by the Prettify javascript library and the Ace Editor.

Features:

  • Host your own snippet library.
  • Button for easy-copying of snippet (disable with: add_filter( 'dsgnwrks_snippet_do_click_to_copy', '__return_false' )).
  • Button to enable full-screen snippet view (disable with: add_filter( 'dsgnwrks_snippet_enable_full_screen_view', '__return_false' )).
  • Two frontend render engines, prettify (with 2 themes) or Ace (with 32 themes).
  • WordPress editor shortcode button for embedding snippets in your content, and creating/editing those snippets on the fly.
  • Live (tinymce) previews of the snippets in your content editor.
  • Programming language picker (for syntax).
  • Snippet tags and categories.

Outstanding – Does What it Says, and Does it Well

May 4, 2017
This is an outstanding plugin. It does exactly what it says and it does it well. As a developer who runs a few blogs that provide code snippets, I needed a solution that was beyond just displaying code snippets in my posts (where then the code snippet was part of the post content). I needed something to keep the actual code snippets separate from the post content. This plugin does that perfectly. As described, snippets are saved as CPTs (Custom Post Types) and the code snippet can then be used in a post as a shortcode. That would have been good enough for me on its own, but Code Snippets CPT takes it a step farther. Justin allows snippets to be categorized and tagged, and the editor also displays the necessary shortcode for you. Added bonus: when writing post content it adds a button to the editor to find snippet shortcodes to insert. Let me add that as a professional developer who makes their living with WordPress, I have pretty high standards. I've seen and tested a lot of plugins that should never see the light of day. So when I give a 5 star rating, I mean it. And I would give this 6 stars if I could.

Very handsome plugin, but no way to execute!

Great for creating and maintaining what I call a custom CODELIB. But without an alternative to choose some of this code to execute on my site this has only exhibition value... What's the use of me knowing how to create a custom WP role, for example, if I cannot utilize it on my site when needed?

Excellent

Does what is says. Would be great if shortcode could accept en ID as a parameter. Would be great if description would show the slug of the cpt, which is 'code-snippets' Would be great also to have a straight forward example of a query to dispplay all snippets on a page. For those who would like to see an example, this is what i did in a template page : // WP_Query arguments $args = array ( 'post_type' => 'code-snippets', 'posts_per_page' => '-1', 'order' => 'ASC', ); // The Query $myquery = new WP_Query( $args ); while ($myquery->have_posts()) { $myquery->the_post(); ?> <article id="page-<?php the_ID(); ?>" class="page" role="article"> <header class="page-header"> <h1 class="page-title"><?php the_title(); ?></h1> </header> <?php echo do_shortcode('[snippet slug='.$post->post_name.' lang=php]'); ?> </article> <?php } wp_reset_postdata();

Excellent
