WPezPlugins: User Cheat Sheet

WordPress plugin that adds WP admin dashboard widget for helpful "notes" for your users.

The dashboard widget's content comes from an .html file that your specify, so it can be unique for each project/client.

For example, maybe you have a handful of CSS helper classes for adding to blocks, or a couple of other "don't forget"s. This plugin gives you a place for things like that, a place that can't be forgotten, misplaced, deleted, etc. by your client(s) / user(s), or yourself.

There are four settings:

• Checkbox - Delete plugin's options from the database on deactivation. Default: Unchecked
• Text input - User capability needed to add the dashboard widget to their dashboard. Default: switch_themes
• Test input - Title of the dashboard widget: Default: WPezPlugins: User Cheat Sheet
• Text input - path to the .html file you want to use for the dashboard widget's content. Default: /themes/{current active theme}/wpez-user-cheat-sheet.html

The defaults will be added when the plugin is activated and no previous option data is detected.

The plugin's settings can get found under Admin > Settings > General.

Note: The contents of the file wpez-user-cheat-sheet.html is escaped / sanitized with the wp_kses_post() function prior to being echo'ed into the dashboard widget. This allows you maintain a standard html file for the cheat sheet, knowing that the unnecessary tags (e.g., \, \, etc.) will be stripped out. It also means you can also use any markup tags - links, bold, lists, etc. - that the wp_kses_post() function allows.

It's recommended / suggested that you keep the wpez-user-cheat-sheet.html file in the projects theme / child theme as it's likely the cheat sheet will be related to the project / theme. That said, ultimately, you can have it anywhere within the /wp-content/ folder.

Finally, be mindful of what you're putting in the wpez-user-cheat-sheet.html and the fact that you might be committing that file to a repo. Even if it's a private repo, accidents happen. Credentials, passwords, and such belong in a password manager.
