Other plugin features:


This plugin requires a Tumblr Consumer Key and Secret. How do I get these?

Although there are some calls we can make without an API Key, a majority of them actually require it, so let's get started with that. Getting an API Key involves making a Tumblr account, whether you will be using it or not.
  1. Create a Tumblr Account
  2. If you haven't already, go to the Tumblr API documentation page to apply for your key.
  3. One of the first things you should see is 'What You Need', click on 'Get an OAuth key: register an application' link.
  4. Click the big green button that says '+ Register Application'
  5. register
    Fill out the form, only the following attributes are required, everything else is optional:
    1. Application Name
    2. Application Website
    3. Application Description
    4. Administrative Contact Email
    5. Default callback URL - set this field as you are instructed in the plugin - otherwise authentication will not work.
  6. You have an API/Consumer Key + Secret now!
key
Accessing your API Key again in the future: 
In case you need to reference your API Key again in the future, either land on this link: https://www.tumblr.com/oauth/apps or pretend to apply for another application again. Clicking the link to register another application from the home tumblr API documentation page is the only way to reach your apps page from the tumblr interface without going to the link directly.

How to work with 'Random Sentence Generator'?

You can use the Random Sentence Generator by inserting list of sentences to the 'First List of Possible Sentences (%%random_sentence%%)' text field. Here, you can add full sentences, or sentences with variables. Variables are structured as: %something. A possible list of sentences can be:

You can define variables in the 'List of Possible Variables:' textfield. Here you can define values to variables, values which will be used in the random sentence forming. Variables can be defined as follows:
variable_name1 => variable_value1;variable_value2;variable_value3

variable_name2 => variable2_value1;variable2_value2;variable2_value3
You can also use variables in variable definition. Example:
noun_with_adjective => %noun;%adjective %noun
An example of variable definition:
adjective_very => %adjective;very %adjective;

adjective => clever;interesting;smart;huge;astonishing;unbelievable;nice;adorable;beautiful;elegant;fancy;glamorous;magnificent;helpful;awesome

noun_with_adjective => %noun;%adjective %noun

noun => plugin;WordPress plugin;item;ingredient;component;constituent;module;add-on;plug-in;addon;extension

nouns => plugins;WordPress plugins;items;ingredients;components;constituents;modules;add-ons;plug-ins;addons;extensions

love_it => love;adore;like;be mad for;be wild about;be nuts about;be crazy about

family => %adjective %family_members;%family_members

family_members => grandpa;brother;sister;mom;dad;grandma

sentence_ending => .;!;!!
These random sentences can be used in post titles or post content, by adding the %%random_sentence%% or %%random_sentence2%% shortcode.
