LMB^Box Smileys Config Creator

Thomas — Sat, 30 Sep 2006 02:56:55 +0000

Come and get it! Thanks to Coax I have whipped together a script that will create a Smileys List config file automatically from a SQL DB Backup of your options table (or whole WP DB). Enjoy!

Get it here … http://blog.lmbbox.com/wp-content/files/lmbbox-smileys-config-creator.zip

You will need to upload this to your site or if you have PHP installed, you could run it locally. Make sure to edit the scripts configs at the top. You need to tell it what your table prefix is, which Smileys List to work with, and where the SQL file is. The created config file is saved in the same folder the script is in and if it can’t write the file, it will display it for you to copy and paste into a new file.

Some Plugin / Code News

Thomas — Thu, 26 Jan 2006 14:56:43 +0000

So I’ve been working on updating my plugins to use the WordPress 2.0 features and be compatible too. I’m Currently working on my LMB^Box Comment Quicktags plugin which adds a Quicktags Toolbar to your Comment Area. As I was working on fixing and adding code, it hit me … why not create a plugin that would allow you to choose if to use a Quicktags Toolbar [OR] a WYSIWYG Editor (seeing that WP2 comes with a WYSIWYG Editor now). So I’ve been trying to work this out so that everything works smoothly, but I’m running into some issues. This is the first time that I’ve worked with TinyMCE Editor and I’m kind of playing catch-up … Right now I’m not too worried about TinyMCE’s config or settings, just how I’m to add it to the Comment Area’s textarea.

I think what I’m going to do right now is release an update for LMB^Box Comment Quicktags that just fixes problems and adds compatiblity for WP2. Anyway when I do get the WYSIWYG Editor side done and working, I’ll be renaming this plugin to LMB^Box Comment Editor seeing how as the plugin will be able to use either Quicktags Toolbar or WYSIWYG Editor, plus I’ll add a Comment Preview feature if you’re using the Quicktags Toolbar. I should have the updated plugin release by the end of today!

I’m going to hold off on releasing an update for my LMB^Box Smileys plugin since I’m planning to add more functionality to the Comment Quicktags plugin. With the next release of LMB^Box Smileys, a button will be add to the WYSIWYG Editor if you’re using it in both the Admin Write Page and Comment Form Area. Or you could always just add the link/button yourself …

I have a few other ideas for plugins to develop and I hope to start working on them soon. And of course, to continue to develop my LMB^Box FilePress system. Lets see where all this leads, shall we?

Small, Stupid Update …

Thomas — Thu, 01 Sep 2005 15:50:44 +0000

I was working on my LMB^Box FilePress plugin when I found some small and stupid errors in my LMB^Box Comment Quicktags and LMB^Box Smileys plugins. The errors had nothing to do with the actual plugin code, they were only comments and documentation errors and only a few of them. So … instead of releasing a new version, I have just updated the plugin packages with the updated plugin files. If you would like to, you can redownload them to have this minor comments/doc fixes but there is no need to if you don’t want to. Sorry about these mistakes … can’t catch everything!

Plugin Updates!

Thomas — Wed, 31 Aug 2005 15:19:25 +0000

I’ve been busy with my finished plugins … updating the code and optimizing their performance. I’m now done! It’s time to release LMB^Box Comment Quicktags 2.0 and LMB^Box Smileys 3.1!

LMB^Box Comment Quicktags version 2.0 plugin has been rewritten into a PHP Class and has had some minor problems fixed. Now the plugin should be optimized for the best performance possible. To find out more info, go the the LMB^Box Comment Quicktags Pluginpage!

LMB^Box Smileys version 3.1 plugin … well, I’ve done it again … released another version of my LMB^Box Smileys plugin within 3 days of the previous one! While I was working on my LMB^Box Comment Quicktags plugin, I came across some more code updates that would optimize the plugin’s performance and clean up the code more. To find out more info, go to the LMB^Box Smileys Plugin page!

I’m not going to be working my LMB^Box FilePress, trying to get it out of beta version! Should have something soon … hopefully!

Matt’s More Smilies Plugin!

Thomas — Thu, 09 Jun 2005 01:11:19 +0000

Man I didn’t know about this plugin until now! Matt created his More Smilies plugin and posted it 10 days before I made my first post for my WP Smileys => LMB^Box Smileys plugin. I really like the Smileys that he has and I’m going to be adding them to my plugin’s archive as Smileys Lists as long as Matt doesn’t have any problems with that … I hope not! I like the advanced features of my plugin but it really lacks more interesting Smileys plus since his plugin uses Short Smileys Tags only, converting his Smilies Packages into Smileys Lists will add more Short Smileys Tags for the user to use! It’s late now so I’m off to bed, night.

LMB^Box Smileys Update Version 2.7

Thomas — Wed, 08 Jun 2005 17:47:47 +0000

I have just updated my LMB^Box Smileys plugin to version 2.7! I just fixed/reworked the Smileys Convert code to fix any problems with the process of either the Smileys Tags or the Short Smileys Tags. Now your Short Smileys Tags don’t have to have any spaces either before or after the actual tag. The Smileys Convert code checks for an exact match of each word in the post/comment text to match any Smileys Tags or Short Smileys Tags. For more info, go here.
