This module provides some handy shortcode methods ready to use from your SilverStripe CMS WYSIWYG editor.

The cwsoft-shortcode module builds up on the shortcode function first introduced with SilverStripe 2.4. Shortcodes can best be thought of a kind of placeholders entered in the WYSIWYG editor, which gets replaced with PHP output just before beeing displayed on the screen. This allows to add dynamic content to a specific position inside a WYSIWYG page. The available cwsoft-shortcode methods can easily be selected from the WYSIWYG editor.

cwsoft-shortcode methods provided:

• cwsHideMailto: obfuscates the mailto part of mailto links
• cwsRandomQuote: displays a random quote from a text file
• cwsRandomImage: displays a random image from your assets folder

You can download an archive of the latest development branch of the cwsoft-foldergallery module using GitHubs ZIP button. The archives of previous module releases can be found in GitHubs Tags section. The development history is tracked via GitHub.

Note: An older, but unsupported version for SilverStripe 2.4.x can be found and downloaded in the 2.4.x branch at GitHub.

This shortcode allows you to obfuscate a mail address or a mailto link from beeing harvested by spam bots. This is done by replacing the characters "@" and "." of mail addresses with "(at)" and "(dot)". In addition the mailto link part will be encrypted with a simple Javascript Caeser cipher and automatically decrypted into human readable format when openend in an E-Mail program. This shortcode can be used in two different ways.

[cwsHideMailto email='yourmail@domain.com' subject='optional_mail_subject']mail_link_text[/cwsHideMailto]
[cwsHideMailto email='yourmail@domain.com' subject='optional_mail_subject']

This shortcode allows you to displays a random quote from a textfile located in a subfolder in /assets.

[cwsRandomQuote csv_file="subfolder_in_assets/quotes.csv"]

The textfile containing the quotes must follow the conventions below (ensure that the first line of your CSV file exactly matches the example below, including upper/lower case):

"Quote"|"Author"
"your first quote goes here"|"author name"
"next quote goes here"|"autor of this quote"

Tip: You can adjust the output to your needs via the template file cwsoft-shortcode/templates/Include/RandomQuote.ss and the CSS file cwsoft-shortcode/css/cwsShortCodeRandomQuote.css.

This shortcode allows you to display a random image with a jQuery ColorBox effect from a subfolder in /assets.

[cwsRandomImage folder="subfolder_in_assets" align="left|right"]

Tip: You can adjust the output to your needs via the template file cwsoft-shortcode/templates/Include/RandomImage.ss and the CSS file cwsoft-shortcode/css/cwsShortCodeRandomImage.css.
