## Description

This plugin allows you to place a widget on your sidebar that displays the official
Google+ badge. You can choose to show either the Standard or Small size badge, and
you can show as many different badges on a page or post as you choose – each with
their own configuration.

You can also show a Google+ badge using template tags in your theme files or in 
a page or post using the simple shortcode (See FAQs for instructions).

**NOTE:** Google+ only allows this type of badge for a Google+ _page_ and not a 
personal Google+ _profile_, so this plugin will only work for Google+ business _pages_.

## Installation

 1. Upload the folder `google-plus-page-badge` and its contents to the `/wp-content/
    plugins/` directory or use the wordpress plugin installer
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
 3. A new “Google+ Page Badge” widget will be available under Appearance > Widgets,
    where you can add it to your sidebar and edit all settings of the plugin.
 4. To use the template tag or shortcodes, go to Settings > Google+ Page Badge to enter
    your Google+ Page ID (See FAQs for full instructions)

## FAQ

  How do I use the shortcode in the post or page editor?

While editing the post or page that you want to add your Pins to, enter the shortcode[
gpluspb]. Without any other parameters, the shortcode will default to display the
Google+ Page ID that has been saved in the plugin settings page and the Standard
badge size. You can add two optional parameters to the shortcode: id=”Google+ Page
ID” and size=”smallbadge”. Here’s an example:

    ```
    [gpluspb id="100677423206997674566" size="smallbadge"]
    ```

The above example will link to the bkmacdaddy designs Google+ page and show the 
smaller badge size.

If you leave out any of the parameters they will revert to the defaults listed below.

  How do I use the plugin in my theme?

Anywhere in your theme templates, you can display a Google+ badge by placing the
following code where you want it to appear:

    ```
    <?php gppb($id, $size); ?>
    ```

Where:

 * **id** is the 21-digit string at the end of the Google+ Page URL (optional, default
   is the ID that is saved in the plugin settings page)
 * **size** is the size of the badge to display, either “badge” or “smallbadge” (
   optional, default = badge)

Example:

    ```
    <?php gppb('100677423206997674566', 'smallbadge'); ?>
    ```
