## Description

A WordPress plugin that allows for flexible text or HTML to be bound to shortcodes
that can be inserted into pages, posts, or templates. This allows for the same text/
HTML to be inserted in multiple places and then managed from one dashboard.

### Usage

 * Activating the plugin creates a new plugin menu option in the left sidebar of
   the WordPress admin dashboard titled “Shortcode Datastore”.
 * Clicking the “Shortcode Datastore” button will open the plugin dashboard which
   will display a list of the currently available shortcodes.
    - Clicking the “Add Shortcode” button will open a new editing window to create
      a shortcode.
       * The key selected for the new shortcode must be unique (cannot be used for
         another shortcode).
       * By default, keys are converted to lower case and spaces are replaced with
         underscores.
       * The shortcode value can be entered in the standard WordPress editor either
         as text or HTML. This value is what will be displayed when the shortcode
         is used on the site.
    - The shortcode table displays the existing shortcode entries.
       * Clicking the “Edit” button for a row will open an edit window where the
         shortcode value can be modified.
       * Clicking the “Delete” button for a row will remove the shortcode key and
         value.
       * The shortcode itself can be copied from the input field and inserted into
         a page, post, or template (anywhere standard WordPress shortcodes work).
       * Replacement variables are a way to add dynamic content to your shortcodes.
         Replacement variables follow the format of `%NAME%`, with the value being
         replaced at render time. The replacement variables currently supported 
         are:
          - `%YEAR%`: Replaced with the current four character year value.
 * Shortcode Datastore also works with WordPress multisite installations. Shortcodes
   can be created and accessed from any subsite where the plugin is enabled (network
   activation is recommended).

## Installation

 * Option 1: Download the plugin zip directly from the WordPress plugin repository
   here (https://wordpress.org/plugins/shortcode-datastore/). You can then upload
   the zip file to the `plugins` directory of your WordPress installation and activate
   it from the plugin menu.
 * Option 2: Select “Add New” from under “Plugins” on the left sidebar of the WordPress
   admin dashboard and then search for “Shortcode Datastore” in the search field.
 * Following installation, the plugin must be activated from the “Plugins” page 
   on the WordPress admin dashboard.
