Description: For Magic: The Gathering bloggers, a plugin that will automatically convert [CARD] and [DECK] tags to autocard links.

Author: Roy Tang

Version: 1.1

Author URI: http://roytang.net

Revision 12-Oct-2008 (v1.1): Changed the algorithm that splits the card list into columns; can now potentially split into more than two columns.

Revision 13-Apr-2008: Fixed a bug where two [CARD] tag pairs in the same line/paragraph won't be converted correctly.

Installation Notes

• Download the latest version file from http://roytang.net/files/autocard.1.1.zip

• Extract autocard.php

• Upload autocard.php into your wp-content/plugins folder

• Activate the plugin in the Wordpress Admin interface

Usage Notes

• When posting, use [CARD](cardname)[/CARD] to generate an autocard link to a single card.

• When posting a decklist, use a format like

[DECK]
Header1
4 Cardname1
4 Cardname2

Header2
12 Cardname3
8 Cardname4
[/DECK]

The above will generate a two-column table with autocard links. The program will try to break the list into two columns at the first header that exists after the midpoint.

• To change the style of the decklist table, add a CSS definition for "autocard_table" in your style.css, for example:

.autocard_table {border: 1px red solid; background-color: yellow;}

Todo list

• Create a settings page to allow the user to select the URL opened by the autocard links. (Currently always uses http://magiccards.info/autocard.php)
• More options for formatting the autocard_table, i.e. more columns, etc.
