Where to Get Nice Smilies For a Forum?

I spent a big part of today searching, browsing, downloading, modifying & uploading smileys to a forum.

I looked for standard emoticons, the most common ones ( :-) :-( ;-) etc ), but also for other cool & funny ones, it's time consuming, but well, I have to take the time do it right then have a rest & enjoy my work's fruits as it's a one time task.

Here are two sources I used:

The first is a Russian site Kolobok.us, they have a great collection of those very popular emoticones in forums.

The 2nd is a great place for Manga style smilies, XtremeNitro, I just love Jap drawings & animations!

I hope you find them helpful as I did :)

Translation with POEdit - Internationalize / Localize WP Themes Guide -Part 3

Now that you made your theme translatable , let's do the necessary to translate it. For that you will have to use a translation software, in this guide we'll use POEdit , so go ahead and download then install it. We will use POEdit to create a PO (Portable Object) file which will contain all the translatable words & phrases and optionally their translation for a specific language. If you add a translation to the PO file, you can setup POEdit to create a MO (Machine Object) file, which is the machine-readable file (the one we need to upload to the server with the theme). Note: PO files have .po extension & MO files have .mo as extension. In this guide we will create the MO file in one go with the PO file for a specific language: Launch POEdit & before anything else make sure it will automatically save a MO file every time we make or modify & save a PO file: Go to File > Preferences... , in the Preferences box choose the Editor tab, under B

Making it Translatable - Internationalize / Localize WP Themes Guide -Part 2

As I said there's not only one method to internationalize a software but Wordpress uses the GetText method & it's the one we should use for the theme. So let's start the internationalization then next attack the localization Note: It is highly recommended to choose / make an English theme & internationalize it, much easier than to work with a non-English theme. Internationalization needs an edition of the PHP files of the theme, those found in the theme's directory. index.php, archive.php, 404.php, single.php are just examples & all themes don't have the same number of files. You also may want to make a theme from scratch & make it internationalized. First you'll have to open each of the files in a basic text editor like Notepade , or a software like Crimson Editor , which is a notepad with tags highlights and many other useful features. NVU or Dreamweaver also would be fine. Now that you opened one of the files, start looking

Disable Ctrl+W (Close Tab Shortcut) / Restore a Closed Tab - Firefox 3

Image
I don't know about you, but for me this shortcut is really frustrating, I never use it but I often hit it by mistake while typing something & lose everything I wrote. The W key on my keyboard is next to the X & when trying sometimes to make Ctrl+X (shortcut for "cut"), I hit the Ctrl+W instead & here is (precious) irretrievable work gone. Yesterday when this happened, I decided it will be the last time, so i went googling for a solution , & it happens to be again an add-on for Firefox 3,  it's called KeyConfig . By the way if you didn't get Firefox yet you have no excuse do it now! , it's really the best web browser around! How to use the plug-in? Just install it, restart Firefox then go to Tools > Keyconfig , or use shortcut Ctrl+Shift+F12 , a box will pop-up with the list of keyboard shortcuts, modify or deactivate the ones you want, I could have just changed the shortcut for tab close, but I really never use it, I just d
