Using Shortcode

• To output download stat in blog post, use shortcode in your post content / excerpt.
• To make it easier, you can use the media button (see screenshot for more info) and follow the steps given.

To understand more about the shortcode and examples:

1. Get Single Info only

Use attribute ‘get’ to return only a single infomation

Valid values of attribute ‘get’ :
All tags available are the valid values of attribute ‘get’. However, you can only use one tag at once. (without curly bracket of course)

Example:

• Get total number of downloads
  
• Get number of downloads since last week
  
• Get URL to download the latest version
  

You can use media button to make the whole process a lot easier.

2. Formatted Output – return output based on format id

use attribute ‘format’

you can create and save a new format at plugin option page

Default format is : <a href=”{url}”>{name}</a> has been downloaded {total} times in total

Example:

• Display using default format (you don’t have to specify the format id)
  
• Display using format id 1
  

You can use media button to make the whole process a lot easier.

3. Auto wrap output content with HTML paragraph <p> tag

use attribute ‘autop’

by default autop is set to true, which means it automatically wrap the output content with <p> tags

To display the content inline, use autop=”false”
