Twitch Integration Shortcode Guide
How to use Shortcodes
The most basic shortcode to use with the StreamWeasels Twitch Integration plugins is simply [streamweasels]
This will insert a Twitch Integration according the the settings you have selected in the main Twitch Integration settings page and is the easiest way to use our plugins.
Layout Not Set Error
If you are simply using the shortcode [streamweasels]
you might see a Layout Not Set message on your site if you have not selected and saved a layout on the main Twitch Integration settings page.
Make sure you have selected a Layout on the Main Settings page like this:
Another quick way around this error is to simply set the layout on your shortcode like this: [streamweasels layout="wall"]
More Advanced Shortcodes
Using the settings on the Main Settings Page works great if you are simply going to use one Twitch Integration on your site. Configure your settings, add your simple shortcode [streamweasels]
and then you're done.
But what if you want to have multiple Twitch Integrations on your site. Maybe you want to have 2 or 3 on a single page, or you want to have one on multiple different pages with different settings? That's where the shortcode attributes and values come in.
If you want to use multiple different integrations with custom settings on each throughout your site, you will have to set these custom variables in the shortcode. For example;
[streamweasels layout="wall" channels="lirik,shroud,sodapoppin" autoplay="1"]
This will embed a Twitch Wall Integration with 3 declared streamers with autoplay enabled.
StreamWeasels Twitch Integration has over 30 settings, and each add-on also has their own settings. Each and every setting can be added to your shortcodes for fine, granular control. You can find a list of those attributes and settings for each plugin below.
