Cricket Moods plugin for WordPress

I was used to associating moods with my posts. After a long, long search, I found a good mood plugin for WordPress.

After trying out three or four plugins of the same kind, I installed Cricket Moods.

  1. Download the plugin here.
  2. Place cricket-moods.php into /wp-content/plugins.
  3. Activate the Cricket Moods plugin from the Plugin Management panel of WordPress.

Some friendly tips:

  • The mood settings in the Cricket Moods page under Settings are for the default moods for new users. It is better to add your own moods in Manage Moods panel page in http://<domain.com>/wp-admin/tools.php?page=cm-manage-moods.
  • In my case, I did some changes in my cricket-moods.php file for the mood panel display in Add New Post page. In the foreach loop in cm_list_select_moods(), I added style="overflow:scroll; height: 200px" for a scrollable mood panel display for the 132 moods I added. It’s better that way.

If you’re an old Livejournal user, you can use this for your WordPress blog.

    Sorry this is a really old post I know, but I found this page while searching for help with this plugin… How did you get the plugin to use your own images? When I try it says “The image directory you supplied either does not exist or is not accessible”, and I don’t really know what to put for image directory (I’m a newb to having a host, so i’m kind of clueless I admit)… I can either host the images on my own host or with a site like photobucket, but i’ve tried messing around with different things for a while and it seems like nothing is working -_-”
    Is there any way you could help?

    Hi. I found this post while searching for help for the Cricket Moods plugin. I was wondering if you found a way to show more than 6 moods in the “add new post” page. I was able to add the scrollbar thanks to your help here. But I still only see the first 6 moods I added, not the rest. So I can’t add more than one of those 6 moods. I know this isn’t your plugin, but WordPress forum for this plugin seemed to have died and I’m just clueless.
