Shorthand Connect Plugin

This plugin will allow premium Shorthand users to connect their WordPress installation to Shorthand (http://app.shorthand.com). This will allow users to single click publish Shorthand stories into WordPress.

Experimental Features

1. Import media assets via cron – This feature allows your WordPress installation to ingest Shorthand Story assets via a delayed CRON. This feature was introduced for users with VIP Hosted sites and those who have hard timeout limits set.

Updating

Future Directions

• A nicer feed view of the story

HTTPS

• If you are experiencing issues related to assets being loaded via http (and your site is using https), check your settings and ensure that the site URLs are set to https.

Troubleshooting

Only try these after experiencing issues

• Firstly make sure that your www directory is owned by the correct user
• In your wp-config.php file, add define('FS_CHMOD_DIR', 0777 );
• Contact [email protected] and [email protected] for further support and feedback
• Some WP Plugins can aggressively cache or control how content is displayed at the theme-level; check page templates to ensure nothing is conflicting.

1. Install the search for the plugin and install it within wp-admin.
   • Or alternately upload shorthand_connect to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory.
2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.
3. Go to Settings -> Shorthand to add your Shorthand API Token retrieved in the next step.
4. Get your API token from Shorthand.com: (Only Admin/Owners will have access to generate API Tokens)
   • Open the workspace settings; either by clicking your organisation name from the dashboard OR from the top right menu when editing a story.
   • Under the sub-heading API Tokens generate either a Team Token or Workspace Token.
     • A Team Token only has access to published/prepared stories under the associated team.
     • A Workspace Token has access to all published/prepared stories.
5. Optionally change the CSS settings in the options to best present stories within your theme.
6. Optionally your theme can override the display of Shorthand stories via single-shorthand_story.php in your theme directory.
7. Optionally apply post-processing in the form of regex queries; within Settings, Post-Processing.

 { "head": [ { "query": "/<title>(.*?)<\\/title>/", "replace":"" }, { "query": "/regex string/", "replace":"String to replace it" }, ... ], "body":[] }
