Short­codes are a fea­ture of Word­Press that allows a tag to be inserted into post con­tent to embed some func­tion­al­ity in that con­tent. The Phar­ma­cy­Wire Word­Press plu­gin fea­tures sev­eral short­codes that can be used as follows:

[Phar­ma­cy­Wire drug=”<product>” {filter=”brand|generic”}]

Embeds a list of prod­ucts that match the <prod­uct> name, and any other prod­ucts that have the same active ingre­di­ent. Each prod­uct pack­age listed will have a ‘Buy’ link using the site theme to add the prod­uct to their cart.

Use the ‘fil­ter’ key­word to limit the results to either brand or generic drugs only.

Exam­ple: [Phar­ma­cy­Wire drug=”zocor”]

[Phar­ma­cy­Wire ingredient=”<drugname>”]

Embeds a list of prod­ucts that use the <drug­name> ingre­di­ent in the drug com­po­si­tion. Each prod­uct pack­age listed will have a ‘Buy’ link using the site theme to add the prod­uct to their cart if all prod­ucts have iden­ti­cal ingre­di­ent com­po­si­tions. If the drugs have dif­fer­ent ingre­di­ent com­po­si­tions, some of which use the spec­i­fied <drug­name>, then the drugs will be listed with links to the appro­pri­ate products.

Exam­ple: [Phar­ma­cy­Wire ingredient=”Irbesartan”]

[Phar­ma­cy­Wire condition=”<condition>” {related=”<drugname>” limit=”<number>”}]

Gen­er­ates a list of links to all prod­ucts that can be used to treat the <con­di­tion> specified.

Use the ‘related’ key­word to show all drugs of ‘con­di­tion’ that are related to the spec­i­fied ‘drug­name’. Pro­vides the abil­ity to link to other drugs of a sim­i­lar type to the one being described on a spe­cific page and ensure that the drug on the page is not included on the list. By adding ‘limit’, only the ‘num­ber’ of drugs will be shown.

Exam­ple: [Phar­ma­cy­Wire condition=”cholesterol”]

[Phar­ma­cy­Wire search=”<search term>”]

Embeds the same search results that the Phar­ma­cy­Wire Word­Press plu­gin would gen­er­ate as if the use entered the spec­i­fied <search term> in the plu­gin search engine. If the results match sin­gle results, prod­uct pack­ages are shown. Oth­er­wise prod­uct name links are shown instead.
