   Great Plugin especially the integration into the adminpanel.
   The only problem I have is that the quicktags don’t display in Apple’s Safari. Can I somehow fix this - like for the quicktags in the adminpanel?
   Thanks in advance and keep up the good work.

   Yea you can re-enable the quicktags just like you do for the Admin’s quicktags. You will have the same problems, if any, that you have with the Admin’s quicktags though. Just simply open up lmbbox-comment-quicktags.php in any text editor or php editor and find the “lmbbox_comment_quicktags” function on line 209. Then on line 212 is the main if statement that loads the quicktags toolbar:

   if ($lmbbox_comment_quicktags_options['display_comment_qucktags_toobar'] && !strstr($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'], ‘Safari’)) {

   You just need to take off the last part that does the detection for the Safari browser:

   if ($lmbbox_comment_quicktags_options['display_comment_qucktags_toobar']) {

   And this should work just fine! I may add an option to the admin options page to allow this … I’ll have to see if I have time. Thanks for your support and interest! Hope this takes care of everything!

   The “lmbbox-comment-quicktags.php” file in the latest “lmbbox-comment-quicktags-1.7″ package states that it’s “Version: 1.6″ …Just wanted to let you know. Lata.

   Thank you for this great plugin. However, i simply don’t find out, how to position the smileys where i want them. Please look at this screenshot to see, what i mean…

   Ralph, are you talking about my LMB^Box Smileys plugin or my LMB^Box Comment Quicktags plugin? From the image, I gather that you are trying to use my LMB^Box Smileys plugin and trying to display the Smileys in the Comment Form area. You need to edit the your ‘comments.php’ theme file to change the display of the Smileys. If you give me your site I could take a look at it.

   PS. Please make sure that you comment under the right page. Thanks.

   No, i’m actually talking ’bout LMB^Box Smilieys. As you can see from the screenshot, i managed to get LMB^Box Comment Quicktags to work and where i want it without a problem (well, one small question do i still have, but let’s first get done with the Smileys).

   If i had your mail address (you have mine from posting here, i guess), i could send you my php-files. The Blog is not online yet, so i’m only running it behind a router i have no access to.

   The page i modified is comment.php in the default template - if it wasn’t there, i wouldn’t see the smileys at all i guess…

    Hi - thanks for your comment on my weblog, plugins always get me…

    I’ve just reinstalled the plugin, what should I do now?

11. Montie
    Posted July 24, 2005 at 10:13 am | Permalink

    Jordie, have you read the readme.txt file? Follow the installation instructions and you shouldn’t have any problems. With the Comment Quicktags plugin, you will manually need to add a line of code to your theme’s comments.php file (consult the readme.txt file for an example).

    I see now that you have added the line of code to add the Comment Quicktags. You may want to change the postion of the where it is by just simply moving that line of code you added to where you want the Quicktags to show up. Also, use the CSS styles to change the look and feel of the buttons.

    Also I see that the buttons are not working right now … since you have made a custom theme you may not have some of the WordPress action calls in place. The one you need to be worried about is this (Step 3.1 in the readme.txt):

    ID); ?>

    Make sure that you have this line between the and lines. Good Luck!

    [EDIT]
    Sorry about the code not showing up correctly! That’s something I have to fix with my theme! Please look in the readme.txt file for the code!

    hey man, i have a lil` problem with the plugin. Installation went ok, and now the link ‘Quicktags:’ appeared where it should have, but the buttons are just not there. I played with the options, nothing!

    please, i’d really appreciate you giving me a helping hand ! ;)

    ah, forget about it ! :P what i really wanted was te smiles plugin, and i found it excellent! i put smiles directly in the comments form, and added my own. Great options in the admin and management pages, i found it easy to use.

    Congrats for that!

    cxmtl … hmm … I don’t know what could have been going on … What browser are you using? All should work EXCEPT Safari (Mac OS), just like the normal Admin Quicktags. I’m back from my vacation now so if you would like me to take a look to see what the problem is, just let me know.

    I’m glad that you got what you really wanted to work and that everything is going smoothly! Thanks for all you support for the plugins! I hope that they help you out …

    Hi, again, this is the greatest plugin for comments I’ve seen right now.
    This is maybe asking too much, but I’m having problems when validating pages (http://validator.w3.org/).
    I think it’s because of the javascript that the plugin inserts, more exactly, because it’s inserted “in the middle”, if it could be placed into header I think the ploblem should be solucionated.

    Kike, I’m sorry I didn’t respond sooner but for some reason, I never knew that you commented again ! Now as for your request, I defently can fix any and all validation problems that LMB^Box Comment Quicktags has (along with my other plugins too :P) but currently I’m spend all of my free time working on my LMB^Box FilePress plugin, which is greatly OVER due ! So if you could please bare with these problems until I get the time to update the validated plugins, I’ll get back as soon as I can … Thanks for the info!

    HEY HEY.
    Now everything I publish on my blog its XHTML Valid!!

    Thanks for the effort in validation.

    I’ve had some problems because of the path where I’ve placed the plugin.
    But that’s all
    In the line 355 I’ve change this:
    /wp-content/plugins/lmbbox-comment-quicktags.php">

    for this:
    /wp-content/plugins/lmb\box-comment-quicktags/lmbbox-comment-quicktags.php">

    and everything works greatfully now.

    Posted November 7, 2005 at 9:33 am | Permalink

    kike, why exactly do you want the LMB^Box Comment Quicktags plugin file in a folder when it’s just a single file? I understand the purpose to create a folder for multiple file plugins, but a single file plugin really doesn’t need a folder. And that’s why I wrote it like that. Maybe in the next release, I’ll add an option to configure the script location … Just a thought … Anyways, thanks for your support! It’s wonderful to hear good feedback!

    Since the updrade one of my users can no longer see any buttons. He sees the quicktag link but no buttons. he is using win 98SE

    any ideas?

24. Montie
    Posted December 2, 2005 at 9:53 am | Permalink

    Brian, what version did you upgrade from? If it was before version 2.0 or later you need to make sure that the code/call added in comments.php theme file is like it is in the readme.txt file ….

    <?php if (function_exists('lmbbox_comment_quicktags_display')) { lmbbox_comment_quicktags_display(); } ?>

    Also, if this doesn’t solve the problem, please send me a link to the user’s site. Hope this helps …. :)

    CarlosM, The site that you gave doesn’t have anything there expect some ads! If you’ve upgraded from a previous version, make sure that the call in your comments.php theme file is correct. If you personally don’t have a problem and it’s one of your users … make sure that they have Javascript enabled in there browser!

    Posted January 25, 2006 at 9:25 am | Permalink

    Hi. Just want to let you know that there is no Display Button checkbox on the one I’m using right now. I have WordPress 2.0. All I want to do is replace “Code” with “Img” because we like posting images on our site.

    I manually removed the one for “Code”. But before that, I had replaced “false” with “true” (for “Img”) and had done the reverse with “Code”in the PHP file itself. Nothing. All it’s done is to remove the “Code” button. The “Img” button is still missing.

    Please help. Thanks!

    Posted January 25, 2006 at 11:35 am | Permalink

    Can, first before we go anywhere, make sure that you have the latest version (2.2)! I tried taking a look at your site and your Comment Area, but you have the user login thing enabled … so … With the latest version of LMB^Box Comment Quicktags (2.2) all you should have to do in order to have the Code option removed and Img option added is to go to Options->LMB^Box Comment Quicktags settings menu and uncheck Code’s “Display Button” column and check Img’s making sure to update the settings. This should remove Code and add Img!

    PS: Easy way to check plugin version … go to your Plugins Menu and find the plugin in question. Then just read the Version column! Easy as pie :D!

    Posted January 25, 2006 at 1:29 pm | Permalink

    Thanks for your quick reply.

    Yes, I uploaded your latest version, which is 2.2. There is still no Display Button checkbox there.

    The following are the only column titles I can see on the table there:

    1. Button Display Order
    2. Button ID
    3. Button Label
    4. Button Open Tag
    5. Button Close Tag
    6. Button Keyboard Shortcut
    7. Button Doesn’t Need Close Tag

    When I opened the PHP file, I could definitely see that there was indeed a Display Button column. The problem is–it’s not showing at all on the LMB Box Comment Quicktags page under WordPress’ Options.

30. |_0ro|/\/ +!3
    Posted January 25, 2006 at 3:35 pm | Permalink

    Can,
    There should be 2 more columns after “Button Doesn’t Need Close Tag” … which are … “Display Button” and “Remove Button!” … make sure that the rest of the table isn’t hidden because you have to scroll sideways! Otherwise I can’t put my finger on what is going on!

    If you would like, you could setup a temp account to which I could login to and take a better look … this account would need Admin Role.

    I’d love to use this wonderful plugin, but after inserting the code in my comments.php, I only get a “Quicklinks” caption above my comment form and no tags like it shoud.

    Any hints ? I uninstalled and reinstalled the plugin but no change.

    BTW: The help link after klicking on “Quicktags” leads to a “page not found” side.

    Achim, I’m sorry to hear this. This sounds really funny … Do you have the latest version? What version of WordPress do you have? Do you have JavaScript enabled in your browser? I tried to take a look at your site but I couldn’t hit it … I guess it’s down or something. About the Quicktags link, I’m sorry about that one too. It links to the old WordPress docs that don’t exist anymore. I will fix this and release a new version! Get back to me and let me know any thing else that might help … and I’ll keep trying to hit your site.

    Hi Montie,

    strange, my site is available from here and I can reach it with the link i gave.

    I am using wordpress 2.0.1 and the latest version of your plugin. I have javascript enabled in my browser and I can see the quicktags here in your blog.

    Here is the link to my blog : http://www.weblogical.de

    Thanks for your help

    Achim, At my home I wasn’t able to get to your site most likey because of my ISP’s DNS records or something like that. I tried using a few proxys but that didn’t work! So I went to my local library which has free Wi-Fi and BINGO! I’m looking at your site right now!

    Ok … Everything looks good … all the code is there on your pages … I see now! If you try to go to the url ‘http://www.weblogical.de/wp-content/plugins/lmbbox-comment-quicktags.php’ you should get javascript returned but your .htaccess is not allowing this for some reason and you get a 404 error page! This is what’s causing the problem, the Javascript needed to run the Quicktags Toolbar is not being included so the call to display the Quicktags Toolbar is failing! Take a look at your .htaccess file and make sure that it allows direct access to files that exist! Basically you should let WordPress take care of this file … Let me know if this works and if you would, please send me your .htaccess file via email (lordmontie AT gmail DOT com). Hope this helps and fixes the problems!

    hey nice plugin, i was wondering if there was a way to remove the Close Tags button.
    Keep up the good work.

36. LordMontie
    Posted February 8, 2006 at 6:03 pm | Permalink

    Bnk, you would have to open up the lmbbox-comment-quicktags.php file and edit line 469 by either adding ‘//’ at that very beginning to comment it out or just remove the line. I would suggest to just comment out the line so it’d look like this:

    // document.write('<input type="button" id="ed_close" class="ed_button" onclick="edCloseAllTags();" title="Close all open tags" value="Close Tags" />');

    Hope this helps and glad that you like it!

    I was just wondering if these Quicktags work with pop up comments. I’ve been thinking about using popup comments and quickly checked to see if it worked and perhaps I did something wrong, but it did not work. Any information would be appreciated.

38. LordMontie
    Posted February 9, 2006 at 8:42 am | Permalink

    Maddog, LMB^Box Comment Quicktags should work without any problems in either your comments.php or comments-popup.php theme files. Meaning that they should work in popup comments!

    Ok, I’ve taken a quick look at using popup comments and I see that your right, the plugin doesn’t work with popup comments. BUT there is an easy way to make them work! Since this is only minor and since I’m not planning any more releases of LMB^Box Comment Quicktags (latest / last version is 2.4), I’m just going to show you a quick hack that will let everything work! Here goes …

    You are going to need to edit your comments-popup.php theme file a bit more then you would normally! First add the function call like you would in comments.php to ‘lmbbox_comment_quicktags_display()‘ … Now go to the top of comments-popup.php where the <head></head> is. You need to add this in the head:
    
<!-- BEGIN - LMB^Box Comment Quicktags Version 2.4 //-->
&;t;script type="text/javascript" language="javascript" src="<?php echo get_settings('siteurl'); ?>/wp-content/plugins/lmbbox-comment-quicktags.php">&;t;/script>
<!-- END - LMB^Box Comment Quicktags Version 2.4 //-->

    The styles are loaded from your styles.css theme file so make sure that you have your Quicktag Styles in there!

    Now this should take care of that problem and popup comments should work now!
    PS: Make sure that you update to the latest version! Enjoy!

    Posted March 12, 2006 at 9:38 pm | Permalink

    I’m using 2.0 and enable the Quicktags, but like Achim above, the actual buttons were not displayed - only the Quicktags link. How do I allow access to the QuickTags file?

44. LordMontie
    Posted March 13, 2006 at 7:53 am | Permalink

    Nick, I need a little more info from you so that I can really help you. First I see your site doesn’t have the Quicktags turned on or you are using a test blog to see what happens with the plugin. If you could please either enable them so I can see what is going on or give me your test blog’s address if it’s on the web.

    Now with Achim, the problem was with his .htaccess file returning a 404 error and redirecting you to a 404 error page. The problem is that the Rewrite Rules in the .htaccess file don’t include something like this before all the rules begin:

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d

    WordPress should automatically create this correctly though! I know that WP 1.5.2 does it right, but I have had some problems with WP 2.0.x with Permalinks on my Windows Server 2003 local test system. So why don’t you get back to me with either the info I asked for or your .htaccess file. But please remember I’m going off of what you have said and not on my own findings, so this may not even be the problem! Hope this helps though

    I’m not having any luck getting this plugin to work with WP 2.0.2. The options tab doesn’t show up in the admin interface at all. Although the JavaScript call does appear in the <head>, the buttons don’t show up above my comment form. I’ve viewed the page source, and there’s no sign of them.

    I’ve changed the function name as indicated in step 3 of the readme file, and my comment form has the correct id and name attributes. Any ideas on what might be wrong?

    P.S. I’m running this on localhost, so you won’t be able to see any evidence of the problem on my weblog. Also, the comments RSS feed seems to be broken. It only shows the post itself.

    Thanks,

    Oh, one more thing. I was trying to upgrade from version 1.7.1, if that makes any difference.

47. LordMontie
    Posted March 27, 2006 at 7:00 am | Permalink

    Adam, I’m not sure what is going on … First with the Options Page deal. I just tested the latest version of LMB^Box Comment Quicktags with WordPress 2.0.2 on my local server. Everything is working correctly and I see the option page “Comment Quicktags” without any problems. About it not showing up above your comment form, please double check that you have the call to the function “lmbbox_comment_quicktags_display()” and it’s correctly formated. Also since your upgrading from a lesser version, please click Ok when asked if you want to remove LMB^Box Comment Quicktags Settings on deactivation of the plugin.

    I think I just jumped ahead of myself there! Try this out and let me know. First with the original version still activated … deactivate the plugin and click Ok. That way you completely remove the plugin and settings. Then delete/replace the plugin file in your plugins folder with the new version. Now activate the latest version and make sure that your comments.php theme file has the correctly function call. You should see the Options Page lable Comment Quicktags. Please let me know what happens! If you still have problems, please send me a list of all other plugins that you have activated. IF you want to, try deactivating one of your other plugins at a time and check to see if LMB^Box Comment Quicktags is working. Hope this helps!

    Hi,

    First Thanks for a such a nice configurable plugin. I have just now installed this on my site. My site details:

    Theme: connection
    WP: WordPress v2.0.3

    Everything went fine and I got the Tags displayed on the contact form. But there is a peculiar problem, for which I could not see any post in all the comments here. As before writing I have gone through all the comments.

    My problem is the Tag Buttons are clickable, but they don’t do anything. For e.g. if I click on Blod, Link or anyother Tag Button. The button gets clicked but it does not reveal any result, in this case “Bold, Link” they don’t bring any function and just remain in-active, after clicking.

    Can you advice.

    Hi,

    I had wriiten a comment just few hrs back, but it is now not show here. I don’t what caused it.

    I have installed quicktags plugin, everything went fine and it displays “quictag buttons” also on the comment form. But when I click on the button, they does not reveal anything i.e. button are clickable but they don’t funtion.

    can you advice.

    Rok, first of all sorry that it took me so long to respond. Because of spaming, all comments need to be moderated and until I approve them, nothing get’s posted (that’s why you didn’t see your comment).

    First the standard problem that you describe is that of the textarea’s name and id are not correct. It needs to be set as “comment” and that should let the javascript work correctly. After getting through to your site, it looks like everything is working correctly and that you have solved the problem. I hope that everything works out and thanks for support.

    LordMontie - First Thanks for the reply.

    Well I have successfully installed two of nicest plugins -Quicttags and Smilieys.

    Just wanted to know the easiest way to add more smilieys. I have got some Yahoo!, MSN etc. smilieys and I have copied their respective directories inside LMB^Box smilieys sub-directory. But it doesn’t shows in the “manage section”. How do I get these directory appear in LMB^Box smileys option under “Manage Section.”

    Regards,

58. LordMontie
    Posted July 5, 2006 at 7:02 am | Permalink

    Rok, There are two ways you can install new Smileys Lists. First goto Manage -> LMB^Box Smileys Lists in your WP Admin area. This page is where all the work is done.

    The first way and more simple way to install/setup a new Smileys List is by loading the LMB^Box Smileys Lists Management page and in the select box choose “Add a Smileys List.” This should display the new Smileys List forum where you can enter in the info for a new Smileys List. This info is just for the plugin to know what smiley images are avilable and what will call them. You still need to upload a folder with a name up to 4 letters that contain your smiley images.

    The secound and in my option the better way is by creating a “smileys-list-config.php” file in your folder that holds your smileys. If you look in any of the other smileys folders you will see this file. What this file does is let the plugin know that there is a Smileys List here and all the info is what is contained in the file. To create one, you should follow the direction in the readme.txt file.

    If you have any problems or questions, you should reffer to step 6 of the readme.txt and if that doesn’t help, just comment back! Hope this helps and once again, thanks for your support!

    I installed the new verion, after using many others, and no quicktags or config menu. wp 2.0.3

    Before everything is fine unless I try and edit a comment and add a smiley, call to undefined function error is received.

    Brian, This is interesting. I’m currently using LMB^Box Comment Quicktags version 2.4 on this site without any problems. When I take a look at your site, I see that you have the old version still working and not the new version. Did your downgrade when the new version wouldn’t work?

    Just for you to note, I changed the plugin’s Config Page from LMB^Box Comment Quicktags to Comment Quicktags in version 2.4. If you would, please try this way to install the new version:

    1. Deactivate plugin and click “Ok” to remove saved settings.
    2. Upload new plugin and activate like normal.

    Hopefully this will solve any problems you’re having. If not, please comment back but this time please leave the new version installed so that I can see what is going on.

    I have the same problem as some above. I installed the plugin, adapted the comment.php, I can see the options page, the plugin is activated, but all I see is the Quicktags word, no actual quicktags show up. Can you help please?

62. LordMontie
    Posted August 6, 2006 at 6:05 pm | Permalink

    Angie, from what I can gather the problem is with your .htaccess file and rewrite rules! If you try to load “http://nicemommy-evileditor.com/blog/wp-content/plugins/lmbbox-comment-quicktags.php” you get a 404 error page. You should be able to load this page and get some javascript. Since your running WP 2.0.2 your .htaccess file should have this for your rewrite rules:

    # BEGIN WordPress
    <ifmodule mod_rewrite.c>
    	RewriteEngine On
    	RewriteBase /
    	RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    	RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    	RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
    </ifmodule>
    # END WordPress

    If you don’t have that “!-f” and “!-d”, you need to add those. Hope that helps, please let me know.

    Angie, I’m not sure what is going on than! This is wierd, I can access other files directly but not the plugin file … Please post a list of all the plugins you have activated. I’m thinking that there could be some issue with another plugin.

65. Angie
    Posted August 6, 2006 at 8:54 pm | Permalink

    I deactivated all of my plugins except that one, and it still didn’t appear. However, I did note that I have Comments Quicktag by Owen Winkler in my plugin list, so I activated it. Oddly, not only did the quicktags from that plugin appear,but it caused the quicktags from your plugin to make an appearance. So I deleted the other comments quicktag plugin. And it made the quicktags from your plugin disappear. Very odd. So now, both plugins are activated, though clearly I don’t need them both, but it’s a bit of a challenge to figure out the puzzle.

66. LordMontie
    Posted August 7, 2006 at 5:20 am | Permalink

    Wow, you just went through everything I was going to need to do! The reason both Quicktags plugins work when you have both of them activated is that Owen’s gives mine the javascript it needs to load. Now mine should load all javascript needed by includeding itself as a script file in the head but for some reason when you try to access the plugin file directly, it doesn’t work. Could you please check your acceess/error logs to see what error/issues is going on with accessing the plugin file directly? Also please verify that the plugin file is named “lmbbox-comment-quicktags.php” for if it’s not, here’s your problem.

    LMB^Box Smileys 3.2

    PS: I cannot locate the .htaccess you mentioned..

    thanks a lot fot you job!

    I had the same problem as Angie, this is the problem:

    Line 276:

    
/wp-content/plugins/lmbbox-comment-quicktags.php">


    I have the .php file in a folder, called /lmbbox-comment-quicktags/. I modified that line and now the plugin works.

    You should add a more relative path, if that could be done.

    I still get “500 internal server error” instead of the javascript. Hope you can help me..

    For those who only gets the “Quicktags” shows up w/o the “b” “i” just simply insert the (*) on your header. Works for me

    Finally got it all working! I’m on a quest to improve our comments functionality with AJAX, Live Preview, Gravatars, Quick Tags and Smileys.

    Whew!

    See it all in action here: http://www.vibetechnology.com/

    The big problem getting yours to run is that you hard coded the paths. For others with the “only showing QuickTags” problem - I had the same and you need to put the plug-ins *exactly* like this:

    /wp-content/plugins/
    » lmbbox-comment-quicktags.php

    /wp-content/plugins/lmbbox-smileys/
    » lmbbox-smileys.php
    » lmbbox-smileys-popup.php

    Joe, I’m glad to hear that you are enjoying the plugins but it’s weird that you had problems with getting them to work. Yes there are some hard coded links, but that is how the plugins are ment to be installed: LMB^Box Comment Quicktags, a single file in the /wp-content/plugins/ folder; LMB^Box Smileys, multiple files in the /wp-content/plugins/lmbbox-smileys/ folder. Well, at least you have them working and you are happy with them. Enjoy! ;)

    Hi Thomas,

    First thank you for sharing such a useful plugin! That’s very nice. :)

    I installed it and it works smoothly. I have only one question: how do you remove the “Quicktags” link which is ahead of the tag buttons, above the comment form? I don’t think it’s useful for my blog’s visitors. Thanks in advance for your reply.

79. kReEsTaL
    Posted November 27, 2006 at 5:21 pm | Permalink

    Mm, actually I may have a second question ;)

    How do you automatically close all open tags when the commenter forgets to close some?

    ie, when I post some random comment, opening the tag and not closing it “on purpose”, it simply puts the rest of my page in bold font! :( It’s awful. I’m not sure every commenter will think of pushing the “Close all tags” button.

    Please help! Thank you.

80. kReEsTaL
    Posted November 27, 2006 at 5:22 pm | Permalink

    Me again… (I’ll let you edit my comments, sorry.)

    Yes, my previous comment is a good example of my problem. I meant:

    Jeez… I feel extremely embarassed: it still didn’t work! I meant the STRONG tag, damnit.

82. LordMontie
    Posted November 27, 2006 at 7:22 pm | Permalink

    kReEsTaL, in order to remove the “Quicktags” link from being added you will have to edit the plugin file by removing this code from line 243:

    <a href=”http://codex.wordpress.org/index.php/Write_Post_SubPanel#Quicktags” title=”Help With Quicktags” rel=”nofollow”>Quicktags</a>:

    To automatically close all open tags when posting the comment, you will need to edit the comments.php theme file. Find your form for the comment area and change the code to look like this:

    <form action=”<?php echo get_option(’siteurl’); ?>/wp-comments-post.php” method=”post” id=”commentform” onsubmit=”edCloseAllTags();”>

    This should run the function that closes the tags before submitting the form. Hope this helps!

    The same is happening to me kreestal, all i get is the quicktags link and nothing else. I can’t figure it out as i have edited it over and over with no luck. I have included a link to my comments.php file so you can see and give me some help. Thanks so much for the plug-in BTW, if I can ever get it working, lol. BTW if you edit the file can you also add in the plug-in for the smilies.

    Thanks a million. :)

    Fifth, the problem that you are discribing is not what kReEsTaL was having. Please make sure that you have the “lmbbox-comment-quicktags.php” file in the plugins foler and not in any subfolder. So you path will look like "wp-root/wp-content/plugins/lmbbox-comment-quicktags.php" if it’s not like this, the plugin won’t load correctly.

    I told you all it shows is the quicktags link with nothing to the right of it. I havfe tried to put the text in the php file in all different places but I get the same thing everytime: no tags boxes. :(

89. LordMontie
    Posted December 3, 2006 at 8:11 am | Permalink

    Fifth, the problem isn’t with the code you added to you comments.php theme file. It’s with the access to the lmbbox-comment-quicktags.php file in your wp-content/plugins/ files. The plugin adds a javascript call to lmbbox-comment-quicktags.php directly and is returns javascript. So for example, go to:

    http://blog.lmbbox.com/wp-content/plugins/lmbbox-comment-quicktags.php

    and you should a page with a bunch of javascript. Now try going to your’s after you activate the plugin:

    http://news.moddz.com/wp-content/plugins/lmbbox-comment-quicktags.php

    This will tell you what the problem is. I’ve had users get 500 errors for some odd reason that I couldn’t figure out. Please try this and let me know.

    Hi, I’ve just been trying to set up the quick tags V2.4 (and the smileys plug in) and can’t get it to work. A “quicktags” link shows up but the tags themselves don’t. I’ve followed the installation instructions, re-read them many times, re-installed and tried again many times and have no idea what to do at this point.

    Posted March 8, 2007 at 2:39 pm | Permalink

    It was a user end problem. I had the file folder for comment quicktags uploaded into my plugins folder rather than the file itself. Another question for you though.. I want to get my buttons smaller and change the color but can’t find where I’m supposed to edit them in lmbbox-comment-quicktags.php. I love to fiddle with this stuff but only just get by most of the time ;).

94. LordMontie
    Posted March 8, 2007 at 10:05 pm | Permalink

    Mel, to change the color, size, font, styles of the buttons you need to edit the Theme’s style.css file. See step 4 of the readme file for more info.

95. Mel
    Posted March 8, 2007 at 10:32 pm | Permalink

    The folder I downloaded doesn’t have a style.css file, just two readmes, and the php file (which I uploaded). Is there supposed to be another file or is the styling done within the php file, because in step 4 I can find the mentioned line “Quicktags:)” inside the php file but have no idea where the styling needs to be done in that area. Sorry, just a bit confused by that step.

96. LordMontie
    Posted March 9, 2007 at 6:43 am | Permalink

    Mel, the style.css file isn’t included with the LMB^Box Comment Quicktags Plugin. It should be included with your “Theme’s” files though! The style.css file is used to apply CSS styles to the XHTML pages generated by WordPress. Look in “/wp-content/themes/{YOUR-THEME}” to find the style.css file. Hope this helps.

97. Mel
    Posted March 9, 2007 at 12:20 pm | Permalink

    It all suddenly makes sense! Thanks so much! For some reason the thought of editing the style sheet theme never even came to me (Duh!). Thank you for your help and patience, and great plug in! I love it (and the smilies plug in too)!

98. Mel
    Posted March 9, 2007 at 12:32 pm | Permalink

    And yeah.. It apparently didn’t even click when you clearly mentioned “Theme’s style.css file” in the earlier post. Obviously I need to learn to read better.

    Anyway, I’ll stop spamming you now!

     Nice work, Montie. I have installed your plugin on a couple of WP installs. However, the appearance of the radio buttons doesn’t quite come up the right way in one of them.

     The buttons appear correctly in my mgk blog.

     However, installed just the same way, they appear as large grey buttons in this blog.

     How do I get the buttons to appear correctly in the second example?
