## Description

This project is available for forking on GitHub:

 * https://github.com/dflydev/embed-github-gist

Embed [GitHub](http://github.com/) [Gists](http://gist.github.com) into
 WordPress.
Provides a shortcode for posts and pages but also has the ability to embed by hand
in the event that a Gist needs to be embedded somewhere in the page that does not
pass through the shortcode filters.

Examples:

    ```
    [gist id=546764]
    [gist id=546764 file=file.txt]
    [gist id=546764 file=file.txt bump=1]
    [gist]http://gist.github.com/546764[/gist]
    ```

Cache is implemented with the Transients API to minimize delay on loading
 content.
Default TTL (time to live) is 86400 seconds or one day.

#### Upcoming features:

 * Option for setting default TTL
 * Option to bypass cache entirely
 * Implement admin interface to control options

## Installation

 1. Download the plugin zip file
 2. Unzip contents of plugin zip file
 3. Upload the embed-github-gist directory to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
 4. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
 5. Start using the plugin by adding Gists to posts!

## FAQ

  How can I fix rate limit exceded errors?

Define EMBED_GISTHUB_USERNAME and EMBED_GISTHUB_PASSWORD in wp-settings.php.

  Can the cache be broken?

Yes. Use a unique bump value to force cache to update. For instance, if you have

the following:

    ```
    [gist id=546764]
    ```

The cache can be broken by specifying a bump value:

    ```
    [gist id=546764 bump=1]
    ```

To break the cache again later, change to a new unique bump value:

    ```
    [gist id=546764 bump=2]
    ```

  Can I change the TTL on a Gist-by-Gist basis?

Yes. Specify a TTL (in seconds) like this:

    ```
    [gist id=546764 ttl=3600]
    ```

  Can I embed a Gist outside of a post or a page?

Yes.

    ```
    <?php echo embed_github_gist(546764); ?>
    ```

  Can I display a specific file from my gist?

Ues. You can use the `file` parameter:

    ```
    [gist id=546764 file=file.txt]
    ```
