A simple plugin to add pricing tables to your website using only unordered lists inside a shortcode.

#JKL Pricing Tables

• Plugin Page
• Author Page

This is probably the SIMPLEST Pricing Tables plugin you'll ever use. Just type an ordered list of ordered lists within the shortcode tags.

##Description

I've wanted to add SIMPLE Pricing Tables to my website for a while but many of the plugins I tried out were either Freemium (requiring me to purchase the full version in order to unlock the full functionality) or more complicated than I actually wanted.

THIS plugin is exceptionally simple.

1. Step 1: Type the shortcode tags [jkl-pricing-table] ... [/jkl-pricing-table]
2. Step 2: Add an <ol> ordered list for your Pricing Table
3. Step 3: Tweak until it looks right

Note: The plural form of the shortcode tags [jkl-pricing-tables] ... [/jkl-pricing-tables] also works now (v1.3.0). I found I was constantly typing THAT instead of the singular form.

Requires WordPress 3.5 and PHP 5.

###Special Features

• Styled like Zurb Foundation 5 Pricing Tables
• Utilizes CSS3 for interesting transition effects (like scaling)

###How the Plugin works

1. The shortcode expects an ordered list of ordered lists
2. The primary ordered list is the names of your Pricing Options (Basic, Business, etc)
3. The secondary ordered lists are the content within your Pricing Options
4. Using jQuery, the plugin finds each element within the ordered lists and adds specific CSS classes to them based on their order (see below)
5. The SECOND Pricing Option is always set to be "popped out" by default and when another table is not hovered over

###Translations

• English (EN) - default
• Korean (KO) - upcoming

If you want to help translate the plugin into your language, please have a look at the .pot file which contains all definitions and may be used with a [gettext] editor.

If you have created your own language pack, or have an update of an existing one, you can send your [gettext .po or .mo file] to me so that I can bundle it in the plugin.

##How To

###How to Use the Plugin

1. Type the shortcode tags
2. Create an ordered list <ol> within the tags
3. Type the heading for your first table in the first <ol> item and hit return
4. TAB the <ol> in to add the remainder of your content for the first table
5. Un-indent the <ol> to write the heading of your second table
6. TAB in for the remainder of the content in your second table
7. Rinse, repeat for multiple tables (supports up to 5 in a row)

####Example of Usage

[jkl-pricing-table]
<ol>
  <li>Basic
    <ol>
      <li>$150</li>
      <li>Logo only</li>
      <li>Content 1</li>
      <li>Content 2</li>
      <li>Deliverables</li>
      <li><a href='#'>Select Now</a></li>
    </ol>
  </li>
  <li>Business
    <ol>
      <li>$250</li>
      <li>Logo + Business Cards</li>
      <li>Content 1</li>
      <li>Content 2</li>
      <li>Deliverables</li>
      <li><a href='#'>Select Now</a></li>
    </ol>
  </li>
</ol>
[/jkl-pricing-table]

###Special CSS Classes and How to Style the Plugin The plugin uses jQuery to dynamically add the following CSS classes to the ordered list elements. Use these classes in your Custom CSS if you want to change things.

1. .pricing-table = Each first level ordered list item (<ol><li>)
2. .price = The FIRST second level list item (<ol><li><ol><li>)
3. .description = The SECOND second level list item
4. List items after this have no special styling until the end
5. .deliverables = The SECOND-TO-LAST second level list item
6. .cta-button (Call To Action button) = The LAST second level list item (it should be an <a> link)
7. .button = The <a> link in the .cta-button list item

When applying custom CSS to change the design of your plugin, please reference these classes as .pricing-table .class

####Example of CSS Classes after jQuery assigns them

[jkl-pricing-table]
<ol>
  <li class="pricing-table">Basic
    <ol>
      <li class="price">$150</li>
      <li class="description">Logo only</li>
      <li>Content 1</li>
      <li>Content 2</li>
      <li class="deliverables">Deliverables</li>
      <li class="cta-button"><a class="button" href='#'>Select Now</a></li>
    </ol>
  </li>
  <li class="pricing-table">Business
    <ol>
      <li class="price">$250</li>
      <li class="description">Logo + Business Cards</li>
      <li>Content 1</li>
      <li>Content 2</li>
      <li class="deliverables">Deliverables</li>
      <li class="cta-button"><a class="button" href='#'>Select Now</a></li>
    </ol>
  </li>
</ol>

Test Multiple Use Cases

I would like to center the pricing tables in the middle of the page.
I split the tables up in 2 rows, and it does not center.
Hope you can help.

Is it possible to make the 5 block row a 3 block row?
