Dynamic Value Calculation for WordPress Posts
Calculate Values with Shortcodes is a WordPress plugin designed for dynamic value calculations within posts and pages. By utilizing a simple shortcode format, users can perform calculations directly within their content. For instance, the shortcode [calculate]2+3*4[/calculate] will yield a result of 14. This functionality allows for the integration of real-time data from shortcodes, making it a versatile tool for content creators looking to display changing values, such as prices or statistical data.
The plugin also provides customization options with attributes such as 'dec' for rounding decimal places and 'int' for international number formatting. This means users can tailor the display of calculated results to fit various locales, enhancing the user experience. Importantly, the plugin avoids using risky functions like 'eval', ensuring a secure implementation that minimizes the risk of breaking the website.
