Hook into write post area

[andrea_r]

I have an idea for a plugin, and I have the code needed to display the results I want. Now, i want it to show in the Write Post area. What are the hooks available?

Either under the box or in the sidebar, not sure which I want yet. :D

One of these?
edit_category_form Runs after the add/edit category form is put on the screen (but before the end of the HTML form tag).
edit_category_form_pre Runs before the edit category form is put on the screen in the admin menus.
edit_tag_form Runs after the add/edit tag form is put on the screen (but before the end of the HTML form tag).
edit_tag_form_pre Runs before the edit tag form is put on the screen in the admin menus.
edit_form_advanced Runs just before the "advanced" section of the post editing form in the admin menus.
edit_page_form Runs just before the "advanced" section of the page editing form in the admin menus.

AHA!

That's what I was looking for and couldn't find. :)

Thanks.

Alos, bad links there Andreas. :)

[andrea_r]

Oh yeah, dead simple & easy.

 function shortcode_finder() {
echo "Available shortcodes: <br />";
global $shortcode_tags;
if( is_array( $shortcode_tags ) && !empty( $shortcode_tags ) ) {
    foreach( $shortcode_tags as $k => $v ) {
        echo "<pre>$k</pre>";
    }
}    
}
add_action('edit_form_advanced', 'shortcode_finder'); 
  

I'm thinking of fancying this up a bit then putting it on the repo. Sheesh, I have no plugins listed there, and while I stick to really simple basic ones, I kinda should put them there so the community know about them. :)

this also needs testing as the orginal code didn't seem to get any shortcodes set by plugins.

[andreasnrb]

Indeed a simple plugin. Shortcodes really should be linked to some description text wonder if they will add that capability.

Also I just copied and pasted the text the links came with it and I didn't want to spend time delinking them =).

@andrea_r - Great plugin idea, makes a lot of sense to me :) I just tested it and can verify that it recognized three of my custom shortcodes.
