Other users can't edit your template, they can only use it.

It would also inspire, encourage and motivate me knowing that there are people wanting this kind of functionality for WordPress. == Installation == Just install like you normally do with a plugin. 1. Upload `easy-content-templates` to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory 1. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress 1. Done == Frequently Asked Questions == = How do i create templates? = In your WordPress admin, usually under the *Comments* section, there will be a *Templates* section (much like *Posts* and *Pages*). Hover over it and click *Add New*. = How do i insert them into my posts or pages? = In your write screen look to the upper right and there's a box there. Select a template from the drop-down and click "Load Template". = Nothing shows up in the drop-down list, what do i do? = First you need to define your templates, go to the *Templates* section of your WordPress admin and create your templates there. = Can i define multiple templates? = Sure you can! ;) Templates are actually Custom Post Types so you can make a lot of templates. == Screenshots == 1. Step 1. Template Definition - You need to add templates first before you can use them. 2. Step 2. Select a Template - When creating (or editing) a post or page, there's an "Easy Content Template" box to the upper right. Click the drop-down box to select the Template you want to load from the list. Click *Load Template*. 2. Step 3. Template Usage - After the Template finishes loading, you can now build upon the template by editing the post or page and filling in values. == Changelog == = 1.2 = * fixed a sorting problem in the drop-down box * added a message if you click Load Template and no Template is selected * updated the icon for Templates post type * updated the F.A.Q. section * updated screenshots so it shows the updated plugin * updated text from "make this template public" to "share this template" = 1.1 = * changed the way the plugin fetches the ajax url to fix some issues * removed filters when loading a template to disable processing shortcodes (and other codes) * made the dropdown span the whole width of the container box so it looks better * added check boxes below the dropdown for selective loading (title, content, excerpt) * added a `-- select template --` item in the dropdown as first item * made the templates private (to the author/creator) by default, with an option to make it public * updated the readme file so tells you to upload `easy-content-templates` instead of `plugin-name.php` * removed the limit of templates loaded in the dropdown = 1.0 = * added wp_enqueue_script('jquery') to init action to make sure jquery is loaded * fixed readme so it provides more instructions and some screenshots = 0.9 = * creation == Upgrade Notice == = 1.2 = Minor bug fixed, icons updated and fully tested. = 1.1 = New features, safe update! = 1.0 = Upgrade as you like.
