How does this plugin work?

Once you have activated the plugin, the RAWR snippet will place itself automatically at the bottom of each page and post right underneath your content. Optional you can use the shortcode to overwrite the default position. You can choose from currently three different design types of the widget (Default, Default Stats Widget and the Progress Bar Widget). To disable the RAWR widget for the current post or page, just disable it via the checkbox right next to the content editor.

We provided several tutorials, that set you going with the basic features of the RAWR plugin. You can find the tutorials within the rawr plugin sections next to the post or page content editor and the rawr plugin settings page.

How can I change the design of a Widget?

You can either change the default design in the Plugin-Settings page or choose one per post. All you have to do is to set the design in the Post-/Page-Metabox in the Post-Editor or overwrite it with the shortcode.

How can I use the Shortcode?

Embed a rawr with one of these shortcodes [rawr id="auto" design="default-widget"] or [rawr] wherever you want the rawr to appear.

Available shortcode parameters:

[author]       default: public name of the author
[categories]   default: post categories
[design]       default: default-widget; find other widgets on rawr.at
[id]           default: auto; provide the rawr-id you want to embed
[postid]       default: id of the post.
[tags]         default: tags of the post.

Who can see the Plugin Settings-Page and the Rawr-Box in the Editor-Screen?

By default the Rawr-Settings Page in the WP-Admin is only accessible for Admins (user has capability: manage_options). You can change this by modifying the “Plugin Rights Management” option. The Meta-Box in the Page- and Post-Editor is visible to all users (who can edit pages or posts).

How can I install the Click Tracking function?

On the RAWR plugin settings page you can define a callback that will be triggered everytime a user interacts with the RAWR widget. Just integrate the callback in your website and use it accordingly (eg. for Google Analytics tracking).

myClickTrackingFunction(event) {
  // RAWR widget has been clicked!
  // .. so let's do something :)
  console.log(event);
}
