WordPress plugin Special Text Boxes

Special Text Boxes is very simple, very little and very useful WordPress plugin (for me and, I hope, for you). It adds little style sheet file and short code to blog for highlighting some portion of text in post as colored boxes. That may be warning, alert, info and download portion of post’s text.

(This post is available on russian language.)

Support Forum for this plugin.

Examples

CSS mode

This is example of alert special textbox. This short code inserted with id “alert”. Highlighted text may be any length you need.

This is example of download special textbox. This short code inserted with id “download”.

Info Example

This is example of info special textbox. This short code inserted with id “info”.

If you want and can translate this plugin to your language, do it, and send me .po file by e-mail (minimus AT simplelib.com). Thanks.

Styles Repository

Starting with version 4.0.65 plugin allows you to have as many styles as you want. All styles are stored in the styles repository (database table) and can be customized to suit every taste. Styles fall into two categories: predefined (system and special) styles, and custom styles. The parameters of all styles can be changed by blog administrator. The difference is that the slugs (unique names) can be set only for custom styles. Slugs for predefined styles can not be changed.

Use this repository to customize existing and create new styles of blocks.

Usage

To embed special textbox to your post, use short code as this:

[stextbox id="defined_id"]Highlighted text and/or short code(s)[/stextbox]
OR
[stextbox id="defined_id" caption="Some Caption"]Highlighted text and/or short code(s)[/stextbox]

where defined_id may be alert, download, info, warning, black, custom and gray.
You can insert short code(s) of another plugin(s) inside wp-special-textboxes short code. For example:

[stextbox id="download" caption="Download"][download id="4"][/stextbox]

There is example of using Download Manager plugin short code with wp-special-textboxes plugin short code. The result of using this code construction you can see below in the Download section of this post.

Warning

Use Grey Box (id=”grey”) only for highlighting short codes of another plugins. Text Box with this id not parsing any short codes.

Customising “On The Fly”

This is example of customised alert special textbox. This short code inserted with id “alert”. This short code inserted with id “alert” and customised with short code options.

	'defcaption' => '',
	'color' => '',

You can partially define atts array (version 2.0.22+). For example:

<?php 
  stbHighlightText('This is content', 'warning', 'This is caption', array('image' => "//www.simplelib.com/images/wp-b.png", "big" => "true")); 
?>

<?php

stbHighlightText('This is content', 'warning', 'This is caption', array('image' => "//www.simplelib.com/images/wp-b.png", "big" => "true"));

<?php 
if(class_exists('StbBlock')) {
	$block = new StbBlock('This is content', 'warning', 'This is caption', array('image' => "//www.simplelib.com/images/wp-b.png", "big" => "true"));
	echo $block->block;
} 
?>

<?php

if(class_exists('StbBlock')) {

$block = new StbBlock('This is content', 'warning', 'This is caption', array('image' => "//www.simplelib.com/images/wp-b.png", "big" => "true"));

echo $block->block;

}

In this example the image of block was redefined as “wp-b.png” image and this one was defined as big image.

Inserting Special Text Box into Special Text Box

If you want insert one STB to another, you can use additional short code “stb“. For example:

[stextbox id="info" defcaption="true"]Some text[stb id="download" defcaption="true" collapsing="false"]Some text in the indoor box[/stb][/stextbox]

CSS mode

Info

Some text

Some text in the indoor box

Hi minimus,

I would like to resize the special text box width in a static page. I saw, that there is a “Insert Special text Box” dialog which can be activated with a special button. I can’t find this button. Can you help me?
Thanks in advance…

Hi there, is there any way to change the size of the small grey drop down arrow for the captioned boxes? It would be great if I could make it more prominent.
Apart from that, it’s a great plugin!
Thanks, Hannah

  Or, is there any way that I can make the whole caption bar a link to expand the drop down – ie that the whole bar would work like the arrow? cheers.

Hi,

I am able to install and activate the plugin, modify values to create a custom look, and have used the plugin button to add the shortcodes around the text I would like to highlight in a text box.

However, nothing happens. Here is an example:
//www.cihe.co.uk/test-2/

Where it says “Text box!!!” there should be a text box.
In the line below where it says “On the fly text box” I have added my own values in “Extended Settings” but as you can see they are not formatting properly, basically its just colouring the background.

I have a feeling this is something to do with our theme, or perhaps one of the plugins. As I did not create the theme we are using I don’t know why it would not allow the plugin to utilise its own CSS. I am also trying with each plugin disabled one by one but I have to be careful not to lose settings so this is time consuming.

Any suggestions much appreciated!

I’m just trying to put some text and links about a series of blogs in a box at the beginning. This seems like a good way to do it but i can’t figure it out. Look at the website to see the series. I just added some code to make the boxes in there. Can you help show me how I would use special text box instead. I went into the settings in my admin and made them like I want. I just don’t understand what code to use and how to say which text and links to surround.
thanks,
Duke

Hello! Thank you for this plugin! I really find this plugin of yours useful.
I have some questions though.
How come the WP-special boxes takes a lot of resources to load? And sometimes causing my site to crash (500 internal server error). I’m using hostgator so its limited to 25 processes. Everytime I look onto the process list, I see a lot of it coming from this plugin.

Glad if you can help me with this problem.
Will there be an update soon?

I have installed the special text box plug in and it works fine in firefox expands and collapses fine. In IE it loads as collasped (what I wanted) you can click on the arrow and it will expand and collaspe once but when you try it again it will not work. any suggestions. I have looked over the comments and have tried different settings for the last hour. I have enabled the collapsing and expanding.

Also is there any way to have some of the text box showing even when it is collapsed?

thank you for your time would love to get this working and buy you a coffee!

Hello, I have downloaded your stb and it works fine in firefox I love it but not in IE 7,8. I am using twenty eleven theme, I only have this plugin activated. I have tried different things but nothing seems to change. It is collapsed when page is loaded (I wanted that) then it expands when clicked on arrow and then collaspes when click again but then it won’t work after the one time. Any ideas what I may have done wrong? On this page they work fine in IE browser.

Also while I’m here a 2 question if you don’t mind. Is there a way to have some of the text box showing while it is collasped and then expands more once the arrow is clicked?

hope that makes sense

I like the look of the new version, however the new version doesn’t render inside the wordpress post tabs plugin anymore. I assume it’s because of javascript. This conflict will likely kill many uses for your users who are trying to use special text boxes inside other plugins. Can this be fixed somehow?

  If you add a checkbox option into the settings to not load your bundled version of jquery it may fix my problem. I think it may be trying to load multiple versions or the same library.

Craig December 9, 2011 at 11:35 am - Reply

Hey Minimus,

Using your plugin on a couple of blogs, been very impressed with the last few round of updates, you’ve really taken it up a notch. On one blog though I found the latest update stopped the short code tags working altogether. The plugin backend functions fine and it doesn’t hinder any blog functionality it just doesn’t add the text box styling in to pages/posts.

Any ideas or can a way to contact you to go through see if we can find the bug?

  About overlapping! I can not do anything in this case, since the width of child element (content of box) is more than width of parent element (content of post). Sorry!

    I see that in the graphic, but the text should be wrapping?

      Also, the smaller graphic is right justified, and overlapping the STB boarders.

      No! The big image increases width of the parent container and the text is arranged according to new width of the container containing it.

When I upgraded to the latest version of WordPress, or maybe it was when I upgraded the SPT plugin, Special Text Boxes stopped working. Thanks for any help you can provide.

Sorry, I meant to say STB no SPT

  FIXED, please disregard my previous comments. Special Text Boxes magically reappeared and everything looks beautiful. I think the problem was that after the upgrade I needed to change the settings for Special Text Boxes and I changed them BUT . . I didn’t see the changes right away because the server at my website host was caching the page and showing me the old version, then a day later I am now seeing the new version.

Hello, I appreciate so much your work, however since the last version of STB and WordPress, the javascript button in TinyMCE does not work any more. Did you already encounter the problem ?

  Did you select any text before clicking button?

Hi there,
Is there any way to alter the font of the Title in the special text box?
Thanks!

    Thanks for this. I think I found a way to do it that works with the boxes I have (not the javascript ones) – in the ‘Special Text Boxes > Settings > CSS tab’ there is an option to change the font of the caption 🙂

Hi,
love the plugin but I have an Opera only issue with it (works fine with FireFox). When I click on the TinyMCE, the code is automatically entered twice, like this:

Info

MyText.

I can manually remove the second part and then it’s fine but I though I let you know anyways.

  Since the code was replace in the previous post, I added some spaces so you see how it looks in my Visual Tab.
  [st extbox id=”info” defcaption=”true”]Das Bild wurde anonymisiert. Bild und Name des Sims sind weiterhin vorhanden.[/st extbox] [st extbox id=”info” defcaption=”true”][/st extbox]
