Inject Plugin
Inject is a very special WordPress plugin.
Inject was developed to give WordPress users more control over their contents in an elegant way.
In WordPress, if you want to show things in an original way, you can write custom page template, use great user friendly plugins or widgets. If you’re not a web developer, writing a PHP template can be a little tricky. If you use plugins or widgets, you have to adapt yourself to it, and most of time you are limited or frustrated by a lack of customization.
Inject allow you to inject any content in any part of your website : What, Where, How
A few conversations excerpt we had with clients:
the client : I want to display a small menu to access child pages, but I don’t want to update it every day !
me : It could be possible. But was it planned :-/ in our brief ? (Sometimes clients just don’t want to spend another penny on that sort of functionality).
the client : Why my pdf not automatically accessible on my page !
me : Because it’s not magic and you have to include it manually in your content.
the client : I want to display in this page a list of the lastest posts from “movies” category !
me : You can put a link in the page to go to the category page “movies”.
It shows that each websites are different, each customers are different and that WordPress is great, but can’t do every thing we want by default.
The Inject Plugin was created to reduce this lack of flexibility !
Inject principles
Inject relays on Twig, an easy to use template engine (that dispense to work with PHP) and common WordPress functions which allow to query your WordPress content.
The principles :
- Write a template using Inject – how my data will be displayed
