Improved Include Page plugin allows you to include the content of a page in a template file or a post/page (via a shortcode) with several options.
== Description ==
Improved Include Page (IIP) uses the WordPress Shortcode API to include the content of any page inside any other page or post.
= Using a shortcode in a post/page: =
[include-page id="123"] OR [include-page id="/about/resume"]
= Using PHP in a template =
For more details and examples, see the Installation tab.
Improved Include Page is an enhanced version of the original Include Page developed by Brent Loertscher.
= Key Features =
* Page title can be displayed with optional HTML code
* Content can be displayed with different styles (full, teaser, custom 'more' link)
* WordPress filters are applied to both the content and the title
* Supports the WordPress Shortcode API
== Installation ==
1. Download Improved Include Page
2. Extract the zipped archive
3. Upload the file 'iinclude_page.php' to the 'wp-content/plugins' directory of your WordPress installation
4. Activate the plugin from your WordPress admin 'Plugins' page.
5. Include pages in your templates using 'iinclude_page' function or in your pages/posts using the shortcode syntax.
= How To Use =
Once installed, the plugin adds the function 'iinclude_page':
void **iinclude_page**(int post_id [,string params, boolean return = false])
The function takes three parameters:
1. the id of the page to include ('post_id')
2. an optional string ('params') which contains the display options
3. an optional boolean ('return') tells whether to return the content or display it on screen.
= Example 1: using Shortcode API in posts or pages =
You can include a page's content in a page/post using the syntax:
[include-page id="123"]
or
[include-page id="3" displayTitle="true" displayStyle="DT_TEASER_MORE" titleBefore="
" titleAfter="
" more="continue»"]
= Example 2: basic usage in templates =
If you wish to include the content of page number '4' insert the following code into your template file (e.g. sidebar.php):
or
In order to avoid PHP errors if the plugin is disabled, you should use the function with the following syntax:
= Example 3: using optional parameters in templates =
You can also display the page title using the following code:
' ); ?>
= Parameters =
The current version supports the following parameters:
- displayTitle (boolean)
- toggle title display
- titleBefore/titleAfter (string)
- string to display before and after the title
- displayStyle (integer constant)
- one of the following:
DT_TEASER_MORE
- Teaser with 'more&' link (default)
DT_TEASER_ONLY
-Teaser only, without 'more' link
DT_FULL_CONTENT
- Full content including teaser
DT_FULL_CONTENT_NOTEASER
- Full content without teaser
- more (string)
- text to display for the 'more' link
== Frequently Asked Questions ==
= Can I include pages using custom fields? =
Yes, but there's an extra bit of code you need. To include a page, you now need to use this syntax:
echo do_shortcode( get_post_meta( get_the_id(), 'custom_field_key', true ) );
