WP Grins SSL

WP Grins SSL

By Ipstenu on 21 September, 2011

WP Grins SSL will provide clickable smilies for both the post form in the admin interface and the comments form of your blog. WP Grins SSL is a fork of WP Grins that allows for use on a site using Administration over SSL or not, auto-detecting which is why and displaying either way.

As of version 4.0, WP Grins SSL also works on bbPress (the plugin) and has an option to turn it on or off as desired.

Tested on Single Site and MultiSite.

Download

Latest version: Download WP Grins SSL v4.1 [zip]

Installation

Install and activate the plugin.
Visit your Discussion Settings page.
Look for ‘Smilies’ and check boxes as desired. (Comments are activated by default)

FAQ

Q. Why don’t the smilies show up in my comments form?
A. Your theme must include the wp_head call and the comments field in your theme must have an id of comment. This version of the plugin does not support manual insertion, because, frankly, no decent WordPress theme is lacking wp_head anymore.

Q. Why did this start with version 2?
A. Because the previous fork-source was 1.0, and this is really just an extension of all that work. Wanted to keep Ronafly’s credits up in there!

Q. Will you support BuddyPress?
A. Eventually. I’m not running it right now, so it’s hard to test.

Hey! Awesome plugin – I love it. How come your emoticons are different to the ones on my site? Also, is there any way I can adjust the emotions so they are more spaced out? They look a little squashed on my site!
Thanks
Tom

  That’s your theme, Tom. The plugin doesn’t change your emoticons or slap any CSS on them to display them, so if they’re squashed, you’ll have to sort out your CSS.
  (Mine are different because of a separate bit of code I use.)

    Hey,
    Thanks for the quick reply, and thank you for answering such a stupid question. I really should have stopped to think about the bloody obvious answer to my question before bothering you!
    Cheers,
    Tom

      FWIW, I set #wp_grins img {padding-right:1px;} to make mine layout right, but I have a distaste of forcing my CSS prefs on other people Which is why it’s just coded in to allow for the pointer. But I’ll document that!

I’m assuming you’ll see this in the forums but just in case … http://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-grins-ssl-not-working-for-some-reason

I was getting some PHP errors in my logs. Here’s a diff which shows what I did to get rid of those errors.

  Irony or not, that’s something I have in trunk.

great plugin but sadly i encounter this error
Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/lamaninf/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wp-grins-ssl/wp-grins.php on line 55
any solution?
1. Ipstenu 1 January, 2012 at 11:08 am ·
  Seeing as it works great here (you used it when you commented), the first question is “What other plugins are you using?” and the second is “What theme are you using?”

Hi there,
Is there a way to integrate this bar in buddypress forum ?
Thanks
1. Ipstenu 12 April, 2012 at 12:20 pm ·
  I use the bbPress Post Toolbar for it.
  1. Jphi 12 April, 2012 at 12:31 pm ·
    I tried but nothing, no bar at all in forum
    1. Ipstenu 12 April, 2012 at 1:42 pm ·
      I’m using the bbPress forum plugin, not the stand alone. I vaguely recall having to hard code this into my theme on bbPress.
