Often included key-information. 

== Description ==
oik is a set of plugins that ease the day to day creation of the very important but rather tedious content that is information about you, 
your company, your social networking ids and your website. 

There are a number of component modules which can be activated as and when you need them.

The oik base plugin provides a series of WordPress shortcodes that take the pain out of producing commonly used information.
You provide this information once on the oik options panel, then use shortcodes to include the information on your website; in pages, posts,
titles and widgets. 
Most of the shortcodes are prefixed bw_ (for Bobbing Wide) e.g. [ bw_mailto], which produces a "send email to" link.


Other plugins extend the functionality: 

* oik-paypal-shortcodes to provide PayPal buttons, 
* oik-button-shortcodes to provide call-to-action button style links for Artisteer themes
* oik-sidebar gives you the ability to use Widget Wrangler with Artisteer v3 themes
* oik-bwtrace provides a rudimentary trace function, which logs trace information to a file, rather than including it within the web page output. 
* oik-tides - shortcode for tide times in the UK
* oik-bob-bing-wide to provide easy to use shortcode macros for bob/fob bing/bong wide/hide wow, WoW and WOW, oik and loik, etcetera

The plugins are developed using a set of functions that can make PHP and HTML coding a bit easier. 

== Installation ==

1. Upload the contents of the oik plugin to the `/wp-content/plugins/oik' directory
1. Activate the oik base plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress
1. Go to Settings > oik options to fill in your **o**ften **i**ncluded **k**ey information
1. Activate other oik plugins when you need them


If you are a developer and want to try the oik-bwtrace plugin then you may find you need to add a line to your wp-config.php file.
Put this before the require_once for wp-settings.php

`require_once(ABSPATH . '/wp-content/plugins/oik/bwtrace.inc' );`

Don't forget to remove this line before deleting the plugin.
