[ bw_mod] for Drupal contributed modules

Similar to the [ bw_plug] shortcode for WordPress plugins I’ve now developed a quick and dirty shortcode for Drupal contributed modules. So I should now be able to write about both WordPress and Drupal functionality with links going backwards and forwards between my sites without having to spend all day constructing links and stuff. Here’s a simple example for the CCK module (Content Creation Kit) [ bw_mod name=”cck”] [bw_mod name=”cck”] And here’s another for the (to be created) oik module [bw_mod name=”oik”]

Do WordPress shortcodes work without quotes?

The answer is Yes, if you only have one word for the name=value parameters. [ bw_button link=”/contact” text=”Contact me” title=”Contact me”] Contact me Contact
What about with or without the slash before the close square bracket? [ bw_plug name=oik] oik [ bw_plug name=oik /] oik [ bw_plug name=”oik”] oik [ bw_plug name=”oik” /] oik Yup fine
