Resource Catalog

A WordPress plugin to manage and display resources.

This provides a Resources custom post type, with a link custom field. It also provides a dynamic searchable and filterable front-end catalog display via a shortcode.

Shortcode

Type the shortcode [resource_catalog] to show your catalog on a page.

Shortcode attributes

Below is a list of shortcode attributes that you can specify on the shortcode, along with their default values:

Example usage: [resource_catalog search_expand_button="false" search_expanded="true"]

• site_url="" : specify the base API URL for pulling in resources, i.e "{site_url}/wp-json/wp/v2"
• search_expand_button="true" : show/hide the search expand button
• search="true" : show/hide the search box
• reset="true" : show/hide the reset button
• filters="true" : show/hide all filters
• tags_filter="true" : show/hide the tags filter
• categories_filter="true" : show/hide the categories filter
• custom_filters="" : comma-separated slugs of CPTUI custom taxonomies for which to show filters
• custom_filters_labels="true" : show/hide the custom filters labels
• custom_filters_descriptions="true" : show/hide the custom filters descriptions

Custom Link Field

Resources have a custom link field that you can point to any URL. This will be displayed as a "Get" button on the resource. Use the link_label shortcode attribute to set a different label. If utilizing your own custom post type, it must have a custom field with slug resource_link in order to show this button.

Custom Post Types

If you prefer to use a different post type than the included default "Resource" type, you can specify the slug of that post type with the post_type shortcode attribute.

Custom Taxonomies

If you have the Custom Post Type UI (CPTUI) plugin activated, you can add custom taxonomies to your resources and include those taxonomies as filters on the front-end catalog display. See the shortcode attribute custom_filters.
