The Money Making Website

First, let me say that this is a great plugin. It does everything I want and need except for one tiny detail. There doesn't seem to be a way to insert a function call into my page template code rather than inserting the shortcode through WordPress's page edit form. I'm still learning php and am still not 100% comfortable with writing my own database queries. So, having a ready-made and documented function included with the plugin would be really helpful.

To give an example of what I mean, a function call (say, get_directory_lisitngs($category_id) ) might be nice so that e-mail addresses could be pulled out of entries and encoded as images, or maybe even whole street address entries could be parsed and turned into business card images.

Several other plugins offer a function that can be used in page templates instead of shortcode. Would it be possible to add this to yours? (Or if the feature is already available, how do I use it?)

Thanks, and great job :)
