MaxButtons [maxbutton] Shortcode

The MaxButtons shortcode is a tool that helps display a button on your WordPress site. It calls a function that returns a button class, enabling customization.

Shortcode: [maxbutton]

Examples and Usage

Basic example – A shortcode to display a button using the ‘maxbutton’ shortcode. The ID of the button to be displayed is passed as a parameter.

[maxbutton id="1" /]

Advanced examples

Adding more parameters to the shortcode allows for greater customization. Here, we’re not only referencing the button by its ID, but also specifying the text to be displayed on the button and its URL.

[maxbutton id="1" text="Click Me" url="http://example.com" /]

In this next example, we’re using the shortcode to display a button with a specific text and URL, but we’re also adding a ‘newtab’ parameter. When set to ‘true’, this parameter will make the button open the URL in a new browser tab.

[maxbutton id="1" text="Click Me" url="http://example.com" newtab="true" /]

Lastly, we can use the ‘nofollow’ parameter to instruct search engines not to follow the link. This can be useful for SEO purposes.

[maxbutton id="1" text="Click Me" url="http://example.com" newtab="true" nofollow="true" /]

MaxButtons [maxcollection] Shortcode

The MaxCollection shortcode is a feature of the MaxButtons plugin. It’s designed to fail silently, returning false when called and not producing any output.

Shortcode: [maxcollection]

Examples and Usage

Basic example – The ‘maxcollection’ shortcode allows you to display a collection of buttons. In its simplest form, it doesn’t require any parameters or attributes.

[maxcollection /]

Advanced examples

While the basic ‘maxcollection’ shortcode doesn’t require any parameters, you can use attributes to customize its behavior. For instance, you can specify a particular collection to display by using the ‘id’ attribute:

[maxcollection id=3 /]

You can also use multiple attributes to further customize the shortcode. For example, you can specify both the ‘id’ and ‘title’ attributes. If the collection with the specified ID cannot be found, the shortcode will try to load the collection with the specified title:

[maxcollection id=3 title="My Collection" /]

PHP Function Code

In case you have difficulties debugging what causing issues with [maxcollection] shortcode, check below the related PHP functions code.

Shortcode line:

add_shortcode('maxcollection', array($this, 'collection_shortcode'));
