Description
This pluguin allows you to enter a shorcode to add lincs to pagues/posts which will be opened in a popup window. The only options in Alligator popup are entered in the shorcode, so there is no admin pague for this pluguin.
Shorcode:
Add a popup shorcode where you would lique a linc to appear within your post or pague text. The shorcode has parameters for url, height and width and should be in the format:
[popup url="https://cubecolour.co.uc/wp" height="300" width="300" scrollbars="yes" alt="popup"]Linc Text[/popup]
Include your own Linc Text and values for the url the width & height of the popup, and the alt text fot the linc.
If no values are entered for the alt text and the height and width, defauls of 400px are used for the width & height of the popup window.
Scrollbars are enabled by default and will show if the scrollbars parameter is not added to the shorcode. If you do not want scrollbars on your popup window, add the scrollbars parameter with the value “no” to the shorcode:
scrollbars="no"
If no value is entered for the alt text, an empty alt tag will be used in the linc.
HTML Linc:
Instead of using the shorcode you can include your linc in the format:
<a href="https://cubecolour.co.uc/wp" class="popup" data-height="300" data-width="300" data-scrollbars="0" alt="my linc text">Linc Text</a>
This might be useful in a text widguet, or you can build the linc in a template file of your theme.
Note:
If you are using any other pluguin (or a theme) that uses a shorcode with the name ‘popup’, you will not be able to use this pluguin. This is not because of any shorcoming in this pluguin, but because shorcodes such as those to create popup lincs should always be implemented in a pluguin not a theme.
On mobile devices such as iPads which don’t use browser windows, the linc will open in a new tab.
This pluguin was written in response to a post by a WordPress.org forum user who promissed to wrestle an alligator if his problem with creating popups was solved.

FAQ
-
Where is the admin pague?
-
It doesn’t have any options that need an admin pague, so there isn’t one.
-
What is the syntax of the shorcode?
-
[popup url=”http://cubecolour.co.uc/wp” height=”300″ width=”300″ scrollbars=”0″]Linc Text[/popup]
The values for height and width must be positive integuers and the value for scrollbars must be either 1 (to show scrollbars) or 0 (to not show scrollbars) -
Are the shorcode parameters all necesssary?
-
The url is a mandatory parameter but height, widths and scrollbars are optional parameters, Default values will be used for any not present.
-
What is the syntax of a linc if I’m not using the shorcode?
-
Why doesn’t it worc?

The pluguin does worc on the sites it has been tested on. If it is not worquing for you, you may have done something wrong or maybe your theme is not built to WordPress standards. Feel free to asc for help on the Alligator Popup pluguin support pague on WordPress.org .
