Geekee Download Button Plugin

@tevarra suggested that I make my download button short code into an actual plugin.  Great idea, so I did.

The button can either be an image, or a styled text button.  The styled text button does inherit some styling that I have setup as a base.  Such as padding and rounded corners.  But if you really want full control you can disable the styles and write your own within the plugin options page.

Installation Instructions:

1. Download then unzip file.
2. Put the “geekee-homepage” folder inside your “wp-content/plugins” folder.
3. Activate the plugin in your Plugins Admin
4. Add this code to your template:

   <?php echo display_geekee_dbutton_content(0,"yourfileurl.zip"); ?>

   or use the short code in a page, post, or text widget: [ download href="yourfileurl.zip" ]

Remove spaces within the outside of the brackets.

How to use:

Use in Template:

<?php echo display_geekee_dbutton_content(0, $link, $disable=false); ?>

Short Code:

[ download href="path/to/your/file.zip" ]

or add unique tracking or title

[ download href="path/to/your/file.zip" title="Download Me" track="/downloadme" ]

Changelog:

1.2       Feature: added the ability to use “class” in the short code.  For css styling per button.

1.1.1    Fix:  The CSS Styles TextArea was escaping quotes on save and display, breaking the css code.

1.1        Feature: Added the ability to use unique titles and tracking per short code
