Shortcodes
Intro
This is a living document on how to insert shortcodes.
Shortcodes
The most crucial rule of inserting shortcodes into the content is to insert a line-break before, and after the shortcode:
- Some content text
- shortcode
- Some content text
CTA Button
This shortcode will autogenerate localized buttons that link to the web apps.
button-cta id=“never-have-i-ever”
Default
Button Text: Play Never have I Ever online
button-cta id=“never-have-i-ever”
Custom text
Button Text: Never ever
button-cta id=“never-have-i-ever” title=“Never ever”
Short
Button Text: Play Online
button-cta id=“never-have-i-ever” type=“short”
Plain
If you add class="plain" to the shortcode, it will look like a regular link.
button-cta id=“never-have-i-ever” class=“plain”
App Store Buttons
This shortcode will place side-by-side app store buttons in an article.
button-appstore id=“never-have-i-ever”
List of all available apps: Apps. Copy the last part of the url, example: psycatgames.com/games/party-trivia/
button-appstore id=“party-trivia”
Other apps
If you want to link to other app store apps that are not from us, you have to manually input the app IDs and app name:
button-appstore apple=“1234567890” google=“com.google.id” text=“App Name”
If the app is only available on one store:
button-appstore apple=“1234567890” text=“App Name”
Image
Places an image into the content.
img src=“some-image.jpg” title=“title of the image” alt=“alternative description”
YouTube Video
Places a YouTube video into the content.

Compact Lists
Some list contain only single words. An example is the Charades Ideas page.
This shortcode transforms the list into a “Chip Cloud”. See Charades Ideas page.
