Hi all,

I’ve been working with Wordpress plugins lately, and I’ve been thinking how the Wordpress shortcodes are really handy. They let you easily inject content from a plugin into any content area in Wordpress just by including something like “[my_search_results]”.

One use would be for Koha plugins to inject content. For something like Bywater’s Coverflow, that could be quite interesting. It could also make it easier to inject content from plugins without having to rely on Javascript (although using Javascript with Koha plugin REST API routes is very nice).

I was thinking it could be useful for moving around core Koha blocks of content like “Quote of the day”, so the response is generated server-side but is still easily customizable.

Anyway, it’s just a thought.
