Salient Shortcodes Plugin

Overview

The shortcode plugin registers all the Salient shortcodes and additionally adds a shortcode generator button to all TinyMCE enabled editors so you can easily add shortcodes without having to remember any attributes. Shortcodes were the original way Salient provided reusable elements to users, but since integration for a page builder was added, these became mostly obsolete. Still you may want to use the plugin for one or two shortcodes which are not part of the page builder, such as the “dropcap” shortcode.

Adding Shortcodes

It’s as easy as clicking on the “Nectar Shortcodes” button and making your selection through the popup modal. As seen on the left, a full list of shortcodes will be available on the top to choose from and all of the relevant options will appear below. Once you’re ready to place the shortcode, click on the green “Add shortcode” button at the bottom.

Shortcode List

  • Columns (1/6 through 1/1). Column shortcodes all have the same available attributes, the only that diffs in the column width that will be generated. It’s reccomended to generate these inside of a “full width section” shortcode, which will act as the row. Make sure to check the box for “
