Download

ExpiringEntries

(Not tested) Should lock comments after a defined amount of days (useful to fight spam).

QuickGallery

Displays all the images contained in a subdirectory. Being an extension to bbcode [img], the same rules apply: external links (http://blabla) won't work (and if they will, they probably won't act as expected), images/ is a shorthand for fp-content/images/ otherwise path is assumed to be relative to the blogroot (usually /flatpress/). So

For more info on the [img] tag take a look here.

DateChanger

Datechanger

DateChanger (alternate)

(by MarcoVerga86)

EDIT: another upgrade for this plugin… I've strengthened the time field: now using a RegExp the value in the textbox is validated… Only time in the format H:MM:SS or HH:MM:SS are allowed, and only “correct times” (00:00:00 to 23:59:59) are accepted; if the value in the textbox doesn't match the RegExp the focus stays on the textbox! :)


The modified version includes a calendar which shows up and lets you select the date of the post. The time field needs some other work to be “stronger” (because there's no control for the input string)… So, pay attention to write a time in the format “hh:mm:ss”, otherwise the date will be corrupted.

The calendar shows info by default in english. If you want to display months and day in another language just open the file calendar.js and (at line 53) change “en” to whatever you like.

Possible values are en,ge,nl,es,fr,da,it. If your language is not present in the file just add it inside the file, following the guidelines of the other languages.

FlatPress Markdown

Markdown Plugin by Vasily Polovnyov

Description

This plugin allows you to use markdown in your posts. It uses php-markdown-extra, smartypants for typographic transformations and safeHTML for comments.

Download

FP Markdown sources

Notes

Just some important notes:

Markdown can process HTML as is. That’s why you don’t need to disable bbcode plugin. If you disable bbcode plugin FlatPress will not parse the bbcode anymore, and your entries will be full of square brackets.

It is safe to use markdown in comments, because plugin uses safeHTML to strip down all potentially dangerous content within HTML.

FlatPress Highlight.js Plugin

Highlight.js plugin by Vasily Polovnyov

Description

Flatpress highlight.js integration. All js are minimized with yui compressor. Contains all original style themes.

Highlight.js highlights syntax in code examples on blogs, forums and in fact on any web pages.
It’s very easy to use because it works automatically: finds blocks of code, detects a language, highlights it.
This is not only convenient but also allows highlighting for code examples marked up with writing syntaxes like Markdown where there is no way to specify HTML class easily.

Download

FP Highlight.js sources

Usage

Disable bundled syntaxhighlighter plugin. Edit this two lines in plugin.highlightjs.php:

/* define languages that you actually use on your pages */
define('NEEDED_LANGUAGES', 'css html perl');
/* set theme.
possible values: ascetic, dark, default, far, idea, sunburst, zenburn */
define('CSS_STYLE', 'idea');

TinyMCE WYSIWYG Editor

TinyMCE plugin by NoWhereMan

Description

Allows posts to be written with a WYSIWYG editor, TinyMCE

Download

TinyMCE source

Usage

To make the plugin work correctly you have to make some changes in plugin.bbcode.php. So open it and (right at the beginning) you'll find these 3 lines of code

define('BBCODE_ESCAPE_HTML', true); –> change it to define('BBCODE_ESCAPE_HTML', false); (by doing this FP will parse HTML code in posts)

define('BBCODE_ENABLE_COMMENTS', false); –> change it to define('BBCODE_ENABLE_COMMENTS', true); (if you want bbcode to be enabled in comments)

define('BBCODE_USE_EDITOR', true); –> change it to define('BBCODE_USE_EDITOR', true); (this is the trick to make the plugin work: disable the bbcode editor!)

Remeber: DO NOT DISABLE bbcode plugin, because otherwise FP will not parse the bbcode anymore, and your entries will be full of square brackets that will make the posts totally messed up! By doing this, you'll be able to use bbcode format in your WYSIWYG editor, and it will work as always…

To customize the editor refer to the official site of TinyMCE.
