Add a Genesis Authorbox Anywhere Using My Genesis Authorbox Shortcode

As I am slowly developing a new plugin, Genesis Simple Authorbox, I realized that I should just release parts to the community that I believe would be beneficial. Follow these simple steps to incorporate the Authorbox Shortcode.

1. Download the Genesis Simple Authorbox Shortcode: [download id="6"]
2. Upload it to your Child Theme folder
3. Add the following PHP Code to your functions.php file:
   [php]require_once( CHILD_DIR.'/genesis-author-box-shortcode.php' );[/php]

Now you can use [genauthorbox] to produce the Genesis Authorbox anywhere you'd like. This is also perfect for Genesis Child Theme developers using do_shortcode().

Attributes

[genauthorbox] takes a few attributes. They are:

• before: Text/markup to place before the authorbox; default: <div class="author-box">
• after: Text/markup to place after the authorbox; default: </div>
• context: Context of the authorbox; default: '' NOTE: don't use this unless you are comfortable with it
• title: Title of the authorbox; default: "About First Last Name" (e.g., get_the_author())
• description: The author description/Biographical Info from Your Profile; default: (empty)
• gclass: Adds a class to the gravatar img; default: alignleft
• galt: Adds ability to provide an Alt Tag to the gravatar img; default: (empty)
• gsize: Adds ability to resize gravatar image; default: 70
• gemail: Fetch gravatar image by email (only changes the avatar & does not change the author information [e.g., title, description]); default: get_the_author_meta('email')
• userid: Overrides gemail, title, & description with the default user's (title: About First Last; description: biographical info; gemail: user's email); default: (empty)

Example

[genauthorbox title="About Mr. Starbucks" Description="I am a hopeless Starbucks addict, freelance web designer..." gsize=72 galt="not me" gemail="[email protected]"]
