Title: Review Box Author: paradox460 Published: Ebrel 8, 2009 Last modified: Hedra 8, 2009 --- Search plugins This plugin **hasn’t been tested with the latest 3 major releases of WordPress**. It may no longer be maintained or supported and may have compatibility issues when used with more recent versions of WordPress. ![](https://s.w.org/plugins/geopattern-icon/review-box.svg) # Review Box By [paradox460](https://profiles.wordpress.org/paradox460/) [Download](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/review-box.1.5.zip) * [Details](https://cor.wordpress.org/plugins/review-box/#description) * [Reviews](https://cor.wordpress.org/plugins/review-box/#reviews) * [Installation](https://cor.wordpress.org/plugins/review-box/#installation) * [Development](https://cor.wordpress.org/plugins/review-box/#developers) [Support](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/review-box/) ## Description Provides a shortcode for use by reviewers. Generates a box, for use in a post or page, with a section for Pros, a section for Cons, and a review bar. The review bar is generated through CSS, and so the plugin contains **NO** images. ### Usage This plugin generates a simple shortcode to use. That shortcode is `[review pros ="" cons="" score=]` The paramiters are required for proper output. They are as follows * **pros:** Anything you find good about the item being reviewed. Typically a comma seperated list * **cons:** Anything bad about the product at hand. A comma seperated list as well * **score:** This **MUST** be a number. There can be nothing following it, nor anything before it. A good example of the way to fill it out would be `score =45` for an item that scored 45% You can also provide the following optional paramiters, for your useage * **verdict:** The final verdict for the item being reveiwed * **title:** The title of the review box, defaults to review. Set it to `none` to hide the title. You CAN enter shortcodes and html for custom links. ## Screenshots * [[ * Example of this plugin’s output. Quite clean, isnt it? ## Installation 1. Upload the `review-box` directory to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress 3. In a post, place `[review pros="list of pros" cons="list of cons" score=75]` where you would like the box to appear You can optionally add custom titles and verdicts. Custom titles are defined using the `title=` property, ex `title='Custom title'. If you do not want to display the title box at all, set title to none For the verdict box, add `verdict='final verdict'`. This is optional as well ## FAQ Do i have to fill out all 3 properties No, but it is reccomended. If you do not fill them out, they will have a default value. The default values are fairly amusing. If you do not fill out the score value, the plugin will default to 100 What format should the score value be in The score should be an integer between 0 and 100. It will ultimately come out as a percentage. **The score does not need a % sign following it. Adding one will make the sky fall on your head** The score gets messed up! Help This is probably because you added a % (percent) sign to the end of the score property. All you need to input is a number ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Review Box” is open source software.
