Cricket Moods is a flexible “mood tag” WordPress plugin. It allows an author to add one or more “moods” to every post. Each mood can be associated with an image file. The result would be that the author could have an animated happy smiley face next to the words I’m Happy! for every post she wishes. Cricket Moods presents you with a list of available moods when you go to create or edit a post. There is no need for you to remember your list of moods. Using an option panel in WordPress’ administrative menus, you can rename your moods or even change a mood’s graphic without modifying every post that uses that mood. Despite this plugin’s name and my continual references to “moods”, this plugin can be used for more than just moods. For example, instead of displaying your current mood, you could give your readers the current weather where you are. You could rename the mood tags to things like “Sunny”, “Overcast”, and “Raining Cats and Dogs.” You could then upload little cloud and sun images and use those with the tags instead of the pre-defined mood smilies. You could even leave the tag text or the tag images blank to have either just text or just images. Please note that Cricket Moods will only be receiving critical bug fixes from this point forth (if we’re lucky). I am working on a complete rewrite of the plugin called PostBits. The code for it isn’t complete and needs a lot of work. If you’d like to help, let me know. Check it out at: http://code.google.com/p/postbits/ Usage By default, Cricket Moods will automatically print each post’s moods just above each post’s content. You may also have it automatically print the mood just below the post content by changing the appropriate option in the Cricket Moods options panel. Using the “Moods” panel under “Manage” in the WordPress administrative area, you can add, modify, and delete moods as you see fit. Leaving the “Mood Name” blank will cause Cricket Moods not to display any text with that mood’s image for a purely pictorial representation of your mood. Conversely, you can leave the “Image File” blank and no smilie or other image will be shown with that mood. Deleting a mood will also remove any references to that mood from your blog posts. `cm_the_moods()` If you want your moods to be displayed somewhere other than directly above or below the content, you must place cm_the_moods() somewhere inside The Loop and disable AutoPrint in the Cricket Moods options. When called with no parameters, cm_the_moods() only prints the mood image followed by the mood name, an ampersand, and any more moods followed by ampersands. For example, on a post with the moods “Happy” and “Bored” it will print: <img src="/wp-images/smilies/icon_happy.gif" alt="Happy emoticon" /> Happy &amp; <img src="/wp-images/smilies/icon_neutral.gif" alt="Bored emoticon" /> Bored If there are no moods for the current post, it will print nothing. cm_the_moods() can take three parameters: <?php cm_the_moods('separator', 'before', 'after'); ?> separator (string) Text to place in between multiple moods. Default is ' &amp; '. before (string) Text to place before the first mood. Default is nothing. after (string) Text to place after the last mood. Default is nothing. A good way to implement this would be: <?php cm_the_moods(' and ', '<p>My mood is: ', '.</p>'); ?> `cm_has_moods()` You can also use cm_has_moods() to determine if the current post or a specific post has moods associated with it. It will return true or false accordingly. cm_has_moods() can take one parameter: <?php cm_has_moods(post_id); ?> post_id (integer) The ID of the post you are inquiring about. Default is the ID of the current post. cm_has_moods() must be used inside The Loop if post_id is not provided. Known Issues Things get a little fuzzy when you change the author of an existing post with mood tags. If the two authors do not have the exact same mood list, the associated moods may seem to unexpectedly change or not show at all. It is recommended that you disassociate all the moods from a post before changing the post’s author. Editing the post of another user will cause that user’s moods to be displayed, not yours.
