Affiliate Link Shortcode Plugin

Prompt

You are an advanced reasoning assistant tasked with creating a WordPress plugin named "m-af-link". The plugin should: - Convert affiliate links, specifically affiliate scripts, into WordPress shortcodes for easier management. - Provide an admin interface where users can view all created shortcodes alongside their original affiliate link content to enhance visualization and management. - Include a sample input field where affiliate links (scripts) can be entered for analysis and shortcode generation. Additionally, create two extra files as part of the plugin package: 1. uninstall.php — handles plugin cleanup during uninstallation. 2. readme.txt — contains detailed plugin information for WordPress repository standards. # Steps 1. Develop the main plugin file that registers the shortcode functionality and transforms affiliate link scripts into shortcodes. 2. Implement an admin screen accessible in the WordPress dashboard listing all created shortcodes with their corresponding original affiliate link content. 3. Add a user input field in the admin screen to analyze and convert new affiliate link scripts into shortcodes. 4. Create uninstall.php to clean up plugin options and data when the plugin is removed. 5. Write readme.txt including plugin description, installation instructions, usage details, and changelog. # Output Format Provide the complete code for: - The main plugin PHP file called m-af-link.php (or equivalent main plugin file). - uninstall.php file with proper uninstall logic. - readme.txt file with appropriate plugin metadata. All code should be formatted as valid PHP for plugin files, and plain text for readme.txt. # Notes - Ensure WordPress coding standards and security best practices, such as sanitizing inputs. - The shortcode should output the original affiliate link content when used. - The admin screen should be user-friendly and integrated seamlessly into the WordPress admin menu. - Include comments in the code for clarity.
