BPOTech Custom Quicktags Manager

BPOTech Custom Quicktags Manager allows WordPress administrators to create and manage custom Quicktags — quick action buttons that insert custom HTML or text into the editor. Each quicktag can be selectively assigned to specific post types so it only appears where needed.

Key Features

• Custom Quicktags Management: Add, edit, and delete quicktags from a clean, modern admin dashboard.
• Per Post-Type Controls: Assign each quicktag to specific post types (posts, pages, or any custom post type).
• Full HTML Content: Define complete HTML content (opening and closing tags) to insert at cursor position in one click.
• Multi-Editor Support: Works with the Classic Editor (Text and Visual tabs) and the Gutenberg Block Editor.
• Select All Toggle: Quickly select or deselect all post types with a single checkbox.
• Default Samples: Ships with sample quicktags (Highlight, Info Box) to get you started immediately.
• Multilingual Ready: Fully translatable with English, Vietnamese, and Japanese translations included.

Developer Hooks

This plugin provides several action and filter hooks to allow third-party developers to extend and customize the Quicktags manager without editing the plugin core files.

Filter Hooks

• bpotech_custom_quicktags_manager_data (array $quicktags) Filters the list of quicktags retrieved from the database before rendering them in the editor or admin list. Example:

  add_filter( ‘bpotech_custom_quicktags_manager_data’, function( $quicktags ) { // Dynamically inject a custom quicktag from code $quicktags[] = array( ‘id’ => ‘custom_code_block’, ‘label’ => ‘Code Block’, ‘start_tag’ => ‘` ‘, ‘end_tag’ => ‘ ‘, ‘post_types’ => array( ‘post’ ), ‘editors’ => array( ‘gutenberg’, ’text’ ) ); return $quicktags; } );

  • bpotech_custom_quicktags_manager_post_types` (array $post_types) Filters the list of public post types displayed on the settings screen. Example:

  add_filter( ‘bpotech_custom_quicktags_manager_post_types’, function( $post_types ) { // Remove ‘attachment’ or add custom ones unset( $post_types[‘attachment’] ); return $post_types; } );

• bpotech_custom_quicktags_manager_editors (array $editors) Filters the list of editors displayed in the settings form checkboxes.

• bpotech_custom_quicktags_manager_default_data (array $default_tags) Filters the initial default quicktags set on plugin activation or reset.

Action Hooks

• bpotech_custom_quicktags_manager_admin_form_bottom (array|null $edit_tag) Fires at the bottom of the quicktag creation/edit form. Useful for adding custom input fields. Example:

  add_action( ‘bpotech_custom_quicktags_manager_admin_form_bottom’, function( $edit_tag ) { $note = $edit_tag ? get_option( ‘qt_note_’ . $edit_tag[‘id’], ” ) : ”; echo ‘

  ‘; echo ‘ Developer Note’; echo ‘ ‘; echo ‘

  ‘; } );

• bpotech_custom_quicktags_manager_after_save_tag (array $new_tag, array $all_tags, bool $is_new) Fires after a quicktag is saved or updated. You can use this to save custom form inputs. Example:

  add_action( ‘bpotech_custom_quicktags_manager_after_save_tag’, function( $new_tag, $all_tags, $is_new ) { if ( isset( $POST[‘qt_dev_note’] ) ) { update_option( ‘qt_note‘ . $new_tag[‘id’], sanitize_text_field( wp_unslash( $_POST[‘qt_dev_note’] ) ) ); } }, 10, 3 );

• bpotech_custom_quicktags_manager_after_delete_tag (string $tag_id, array $updated_tags) Fires after a quicktag is deleted. Useful for clearing out custom metadata linked to the deleted tag ID.

Other available actions: * bpotech_custom_quicktags_manager_before_save_tag (array $new_tag, bool $is_new) * bpotech_custom_quicktags_manager_before_delete_tag (string $tag_id) * bpotech_custom_quicktags_manager_reset_defaults (array $default_tags)
