WP Lipsum
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') ?>
