Plugin Cards lets you display WordPress 4.0 style cards with plugin information for any plugin that lives on the wordpress.org repository. All of the custom queries that are possible using the wordpress.org API are possible with this plugin, including queries for plugins by: Slug Author Tag Search term Brose terms: popular, new, & beta A wordpress.org user’s favorites list Any other custom query you pass in via an included filter This plugin uses the same wordpress.org API that your wp-admin uses when you are searching for new plugins, and it uses as much of the admin CSS and core functionality as possible to bring you a purposefully stock experience. I have also included a number of filters in the plugin that allow you to customize everything. You can use a custom query, include custom fields not shown by default, use custom icons, use custom plugin urls, add to or override the information shown in each section of the output, override the entire output with your own, and more. This plugin is on Github and I encourage feature requests and pull requests. Features Query the wordpress.org plugin repo by all methods supported by the wordpress.org API, including by slug, author, tag, popular, new, beta, user’s favorites, and search term Cards match the design introduced in WordPress 4.0 Uses the wordpress.org API to get plugin information Caches results to minimize hits on the API Default fields include plugin name, icon, description, author link, star rating, active install count, last updated and compatible up to Uses SVG plugin icon if available, then retina icon if available, then regular icon Uses the WP native Dashicons for the star ratings Intelligently Responsive Easily customize the look of the cards with CSS Easily customize the functionality of the entire plugin with provided filters With Plugin Cards you can easily display a custom list of plugins for any purpose. Usage This plugin adds a shortcode [plugin_cards] that you can use to display the plugin cards anywhere on your site. The following parameters can be used to create your query: [plugin_cards slug="easy-digital-downloads"] [plugin_cards author="markjaquith"] [plugin_cards user="matt"] // Displays user's favorites list [plugin_cards tag="slider"] [plugin_cards browse="popular"] [plugin_cards browse="new"] [plugin_cards browse="beta"] [plugin_cards search="gallery"] Note: The wordpress.org API only supports querying by one parameter at a time, so currently only one parameter can be included in the shortcode to build the query. If this ever changes I will add support for querying by multiple parameters to this plugin. Note: The parameter is required for the shortcode to work. Simply using [plugin_cards] will result in a silent fail. You can also set the max number of results using the max_results parameter like this: [plugin_cards max_results="10" browse="popular"] Advanced Usage This plugin includes a number of filters that you can use to customize the display of the cards and add plugin information to the cards. I recommend reading through the code if you really want to understand how the filters can be used. Here are some examples: Use a custom query function custom_plugin_cards_query( $custom_query_args, $atts = array(), $fields = array() ) { // Show the 10 most popular plugins with only certain fields returned $custom_query_args = array( 'per_page' => 10, 'browse' => 'popular', 'fields' => array( 'banners' => true, 'icons' => false, 'reviews' => true, 'rating' => true, 'num_ratings' => true, 'downloaded' => false, 'active_installs' => false, 'short_description' => false, 'sections' => true, 'downloadlink' => true, 'last_updated' => true, 'homepage' => true, ) ); return $custom_query_args; } add_filter( 'plugin_cards_api_query_args', 'custom_plugin_cards_query', 10, 3 ); Then you’d have to use one of the output filters and some CSS to get the new fields to show on the page. There is a lot that is possible with the plugin_cards_api_query_args filter, too much to cover here, but the key is setting the right main query param and setting the fields that you want returned. Use custom URLs function custom_plugin_card_urls( $plugin_url, $plugin = null ) { // Point URLs to a custom endpoint based on the plugin slug $plugin_url = 'https://domain.com/custom-plugins/' . esc_attr( $plugin->slug ); // Change the URL of a specific plugin if ( 'woocommerce' === $plugin->slug ) { $plugin_url = 'http://www.woothemes.com/woocommerce/'; } return $plugin_url; } add_filter( 'plugin_cards_plugin_url', 'custom_plugin_card_urls', 10, 2 ); The complete list of simple filters that work exactly like plugin_cards_plugin_urls is: plugin_cards_plugin_url plugin_cards_plugin_name plugin_cards_short_description plugin_cards_plugin_author There are also some advanced filters that allow you to override the HTML output of entire sections, including: plugin_cards_plugin_icon plugin_cards_action_links plugin_cards_plugin_rating plugin_cards_last_updated plugin_cards_install_count plugin_cards_plugin_compatibility These filters can be used like this: Use custom plugin icons function custom_plugin_card_icons( $plugin_icon, $plugin = null, $plugin_url = '' ) { // Replace all plugin icons with kittens $plugin_icon = ' '; // Replace the icon for a specific plugin if ( 'equal-height-columns' === $plugin->slug ) { $plugin_icon = ' '; } return $plugin_icon; } add_filter( 'plugin_cards_plugin_icon', 'custom_plugin_card_icons', 10, 3 ); There is also one special filter plugin_cards_cache_expiration that allows you to set how long you want the results of the API request to be cached. The default is 2 hours (expressed as number of seconds). If you want a hook added just let me know. Pull requests are welcome on Github.
