WordPress Plugin: Card Converter

Card Converter is a WordPress plugin with poker bloggers in mind, but it can be used by anyone who would like to display playing cards in posts and comments. It will take card abbreviations such as Ad (meaning Ace of diamonds) and convert it to a CSS graphical-like representation of the card. Inspiration for the plugin came from Chris Halverson’s Pokerhand plugin and the CSS cards on the World Poker Tour Fan Site.

The plugin has moved to the WordPress Plugin Repository. All development and files will be available there from now on.

    One of the comment filters in Word Perfect is removing the <span> tags used to style the card. If anyone knows a way around this, let me know.

    Fixed. If you’ve already downloaded and installed it, download again and make sure to follow the new step 3 above.

    Should this work for us mere computer mortals??? If so, I can’t figure it out.

    Yes. I take it you mean here in the comments. Simply type <card>As</card> and you should get A♠.

    Just saw this on the plug-in page. Very interesting. :idea:Now you should add it to your clickable smilies plug-in for real ease of use.

    Good job as usual.

    Actually I have it added to the clickable buttons on my 2 Hole Cards site because that is where all of my poker stuff is now.

    You need to place <card> to the left of the card and </card> to the right of the card.

    For instance…
    <card>Ad</card>
    will produce this…
    Ad

    You need to surround your card with card tags, such as
    <card>Jc</card>

    You can only put one card inside the card tags.

    I wrote a similar plugin for WP. But it comes in different languages, helps out with a nice visual editor and supports more the one cardstyle.

    I heard, that some versions of WordPress do not support this plugin. It is valid so?
