I would like to start by apologizing to everyone who requested assistance with TSE during my absence these last 17 days. An unfortunate turn of events took place on March 12th that left me without a computer and internet access until today. A capacitor decided to explode on my motherboard and took my northbridge with it. (Yes, it decided to explode. It was conspiring against me.)

I just finished building my new computer and getting the basics installed, and this post is the first thing I’ve decided to do before continuing with setting up the rest of the computer.

Now, to the problems at hand:

The issue that people are having with the CTI for Tango Smileys Extended is partly my fault in the wording I used to explain how to insert the CTI into the comments.php file. Here is the better explained way to add the CTI to your comments.php file:

1. Open your comments.php file.
2. Find the comment textarea, which should look something like <textarea name="comment" id="comment"></textarea>
3. If you want the CTI smileys above the textarea, type
   <?php tse_cti_anywhere(); ?> before the textarea.
4. If you want the CTI smileys below the textarea, type
   <?php tse_cti_anywhere(); ?> after the textarea.
5. Save your comments.php file.

The extra stuff that I listed in my original instructions was for people who wanted to use the CTI smileys with other plugins, and is not needed to add the CTI smileys to the comments.

Hope this helps!

The new theme that I had chosen is going to require so much editing to get it to where I want it, that I’ve decided – at least for the time being – to revert to my Stained Glass theme. I’m going to continue my revisions of the new theme and hopefully, one day, replace this theme. Until then, Stained Glass remains, and I’ve made it available for download for anyone else who wants a copy.

Please read the post here carefully before downloading, as Stained Glass was designed around the use of specific plugins. You are free to edit the theme however you see fit, and I am offering minimal support for those who wish to use this theme, but don’t expect me to rewrite it for you.

Stained Glass v1.0b

By request, I have made my previous theme – Stained Glass 1.0b – available for download at the link below.

Since I designed this theme for personal use, Stained Glass requires the following plugins – unless you plan on editing the theme to remove these requirements:

1. Add to Any Share/Save/Bookmark Button
2. Add to Any Subscribe Button
3. WP-PageNavi
4. Category Image(s)
5. Smart 404
6. Yet Another Related Posts Plugin

While you are free to do whatever you want with this theme, I highly recommend using the Smart 404 and WP-PageNavi plugins, as they add a lot of functionality to this theme.

Stained Glass (Version 1.0b) - 362 Hits

I’ve decided on the new theme I’m going to use, but it still needs some minor editing to get it where I want it. So, please be patient as things start to look strange, as I’m working on getting it all sorted out.

Thanks!
