WP Lipsum

Description

WP-Lipsum includes a collection of template fragments representing lots of common page types, from simple lorem ipsum paragraphs to demos of the WP comment system, and more. It works via a simple shortcode or template tag.

Using the Shortcode

[lipsum]

This outputs the basic content block. You can edit this in wp-lipsum/templates/basic.php.

[lipsum template=aux]

This outputs the auxilary lipsum page, with tables, definition lists, and more. You can edit this in templates/aux.php.

[lipsum repeat=4]

This outputs 4 simple paragphs of lorem ipsum text. You can edit the text in templates/p.php.

[lipsum template=ol repeat=3]

This loads the ordered list template and displays it 3 times.

[lipsum t=ol r=3]

You can also use “t” and “r” as parameter shortcuts.

Lipsum Templates and Fragments

Here are the full pages of lipsum content available:

• Basic Content – “basic”
• Aux Content – “aux”
• Blog Demo – “blog”
• Single Post Demo – “single”
• Headline List – “headline_list”
• Gallery Demo – “gallery”
• Portfolio Demo – “portfolio”
• Long Header Examples – “long_headers”
• Short Content Demo – “short”
• Template Fragments

You can also call these smaller fragments, and use the “repeat” parameter:

• Single Paragraph – “p”
• Unordered List – “ul”
• Ordered List – “ol”
• Definition List – “dl”
• Table Example – “table”
• Blockquote – “blockquote”
• Blog Teaser – “blog_teaser”
• Image (without caption) – « img »
• Image with WP Caption – « caption »
• Code Demo – “code”
• Comments Demo – “comments”
• Gallery Item – “gallery_item”
• List of Headers – “headers”
• Headline Teaser – “headline_teaser”
• Misc Content – “misc”
• Portfolio Item – “portfolio_item”

All lipsum template snippets are located in plugins/wp-lipsum/templates. You can easily add new template files in here, and call them with the “template” attribute.

Templates use Bedrock conventions, including class names (like .table-style and .post-nav), using H1s and H2s only for titles, and other concepts.

Image Dimensions

For the image templates, you can also pass in custom dimensions with the « width », « height » and « align » parameters (shorcuts w, h and a). This works for the img, caption, portfolio & portfolio_item, and gallery & gallery_item templates.

[lipsum template=img width=300 height=150]

[lipsum t=caption w=300 h=150 a=right]

[lipsum t=gallery w=500 h=220]

[lipsum t=portfolio w=100 h=100]

Align can be set to « left », « right », « center » or « none ». These parameters default to 200×200, and alignleft.

Using the Template Tag

You can also call the plugin from your theme code, by using the display_lipsum_template() function:

<?php display_lipsum_template($template, $repeat); ?>
<?php display_lipsum_template('basic') ?>
<?php display_lipsum_template('table', 4) ?>
<?php display_lipsum_template('caption', 1, 500, 300, 'right') ?>
