BPOTech Custom Quicktags Manager

BPOTech Custom Quicktags Manager allows WordPress administrators to create and manage custom Quicktags — quick action buttons that insert custom HTML or text into the editor. Each quicktag can be selectively assigned to specific post types so it only appears where needed.

Key Features

• Custom Quicktags Management: Add, edit, and delete quicktags from a clean, modern admin dashboard.
• Per Post-Type Controls: Assign each quicktag to specific post types (posts, pages, or any custom post type).
• Full HTML Content: Define complete HTML content (opening and closing tags) to insert at cursor position in one click.
• Multi-Editor Support: Works with the Classic Editor (Text and Visual tabs) and the Gutenberg Block Editor.
• Select All Toggle: Quickly select or deselect all post types with a single checkbox.
• Default Samples: Ships with sample quicktags (Highlight, Info Box) to get you started immediately.
• Multilingual Ready: Fully translatable with English, Vietnamese, and Japanese translations included.

Developer Hooks

This plugin provides several action and filter hooks to allow third-party developers to extend and customize the Quicktags manager without editing the plugin core files.

Filter Hooks

• bpotech_custom_quicktags_manager_data (array $quicktags)
  Filters the list of quicktags retrieved from the database before rendering them in the editor or admin list.
  Example:

  add_filter( ‘bpotech_custom_quicktags_manager_data’, function( $quicktags ) {
  // Dynamically inject a custom quicktag from code
  $quicktags[] = array(
  ‘id’ => ‘custom_code_block’,
  ‘label’ => ‘Code Block’,
  ‘start_tag’ => ‘`
  ‘,
  ‘end_tag’ => ‘
  ‘,
  ‘post_types’ => array( ‘post’ ),
  ‘editors’ => array( ‘gutenberg’, ‘text’ )
  );
  return $quicktags;
  } );

  • bpotech_custom_quicktags_manager_post_types` (array $post_types)
    Filters the list of public post types displayed on the settings screen.
    Example:

  add_filter( ‘bpotech_custom_quicktags_manager_post_types’, function( $post_types ) {
  // Remove ‘attachment’ or add custom ones
  unset( $post_types[‘attachment’] );
  return $post_types;
  } );

• bpotech_custom_quicktags_manager_editors (array $editors)
  Filters the list of editors displayed in the settings form checkboxes.

• bpotech_custom_quicktags_manager_default_data (array $default_tags)
  Filters the initial default quicktags set on plugin activation or reset.

Action Hooks

• bpotech_custom_quicktags_manager_admin_form_bottom (array|null $edit_tag)
  Fires at the bottom of the quicktag creation/edit form. Useful for adding custom input fields.
  Example:

  add_action( ‘bpotech_custom_quicktags_manager_admin_form_bottom’, function( $edit_tag ) {
  $note = $edit_tag ? get_option( ‘qt_note_’ . $edit_tag[‘id’], ” ) : ”;
  echo ‘

  ‘;
  echo ‘ Developer Note’;
  echo ‘ ‘;
  echo ‘

  ‘;
  } );

• bpotech_custom_quicktags_manager_after_save_tag (array $new_tag, array $all_tags, bool $is_new)
  Fires after a quicktag is saved or updated. You can use this to save custom form inputs.
  Example:

  add_action( ‘bpotech_custom_quicktags_manager_after_save_tag’, function( $new_tag, $all_tags, $is_new ) {
  if ( isset( $POST[‘qt_dev_note’] ) ) {
  update_option( ‘qt_note‘ . $new_tag[‘id’], sanitize_text_field( wp_unslash( $_POST[‘qt_dev_note’] ) ) );
  }
  }, 10, 3 );

• bpotech_custom_quicktags_manager_after_delete_tag (string $tag_id, array $updated_tags)
  Fires after a quicktag is deleted. Useful for clearing out custom metadata linked to the deleted tag ID.

Other available actions:
* bpotech_custom_quicktags_manager_before_save_tag (array $new_tag, bool $is_new)
* bpotech_custom_quicktags_manager_before_delete_tag (string $tag_id)
* bpotech_custom_quicktags_manager_reset_defaults (array $default_tags)
