I wanted a way to ad a Creative Commons notice at the bottom of each post and I wanted the plugin to be able to pick what license was used based on the post authors preference. That lead me, over the last few days, to create the Creative Commons Post plugin.
You can see an example of it at the bottom of this post (above the comments).
Basic Use -
When creating a post, create one of the following post meta data keys and set it with a value of one (1)(1) -
| Post Meta Data Key | Resulting License Displayed |
| cc_by | Creative Commons 3.0 Attribution Only (Commercial Use and Derivatives Allowed) license. |
| cc_by_nd | Creative Commons 3.0 Attribution, No Derivatives (Commercial Use Allowed) license. |
| cc_by_sa | Creative Commons 3.0 Attribution, Share Alike (Commercial Use Allowed) license. |
| cc_by_nc | Creative Commons 3.0 Attribution, Non-Commercial license. |
| cc_by_nc_sa | Creative Commons 3.0 Attribution, Non-Commercial, Share Alike license. |
| cc_by_nc_nd | Creative Commons 3.0 Attribution, Non-Commercial, No Derivatives license. |
| cc_public | Creative Commons Public Domain License. |
| cc_copyright | Inserts a full copyright notice. |
Not setting any of the above values will insert a default license for Creative Commons 3.0 Attribution, Non-Commercial, Share Alike (BY-NC-SA) license in the post. This can easily be changed to not display any license unless a value it set.
Notice: When setting one of the values above, SET ONLY ONE. Do not set multiple values for one post as it will screw up the system.
I had very specific needs when I created this plugin. As a result, there are no graphic elements present when the CC License is displayed on a post page.
This plugin works with Wordpress 2.5.1 and should work with 2.3+.
To Do:
- Add an options page for the plugin.
- Tidy up / Streamline the code.
- Other minor tweaks.
I want to thank Alexander Dichev for his Add Me Dichev plugin that I used as the framework for this plugin.
