Add Images of Islamic Phrases to Your WordPress Posts using Shortcodes
// January 24th, 2012 // 1 Comment » // Blog
For those who don't follow me on Twitter, just an update that I recently released my first WordPress plugin, called Islamic Graphics. It's a very simple script that allows self-hosted WordPress bloggers to embed images of common Islamic phrases into their posts and pages via shortcodes.
- Examples:
- 'alayhis salam –
(peace be upon him) - rahimaha Allāh –
(may Allāh have mercy upon her) - rahimahu Allāh –
(may Allāh have mercy upon him) - rahimahum Allāh –
(may Allāh have mercy upon them) - radiallahu 'anha –
(may Allāh be pleased with her) - radiallahu 'anhu –
(may Allāh be pleased with him) - radiallahu 'anhum –
(may Allāh be pleased with them) - sallalahu 'alayhi wa salam –
(peace and blessings of Allāh be upon him) - subhanahu wa ta 'ala –
(glorified and exalted be He)
A black version of each graphic is also provided, and there are also options to include text. Full preview available on my MuslimMatters post, which is also where I log plugin updates.
Download the Islamic Graphics plugin from the WordPress.org repository – don't forget to rate it. :)
Inshā’Allāh I plan to release another more complex WordPress plugin sometime soon. This development work is part of a forthcoming MuslimMatters website upgrade. It has served as a good excuse for me to learn PHP. Turns out it is similar to Perl, which reduced the learning curve alhamdulillah. :)
