BBCode
Stanley's version - Adds open link in new window option
Author
Hydra, NoWhereMan
Version
This unofficial user's version 1.6.2 amended by Stanley - last update 23 Dec 2011
Revision History
- 1.6.2 Fixed “Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated” appearing in server error logs (see forum discussion) and whitespace around open-in-new-window.png which looked bad in justified layouts. Changed URL toolbar button text from “Link” to “URL”.
- 1.6.1 Removed preceding slash from path to “open-in-new-window.png” as BLOG_BASEURL, which precedes it, already has a trailing slash.
- 1.6 Initial release
Description
An updated version of the standard BBCode plugin, adding an attribute which will display an icon after a link, giving the reader an inline option of whether to open the link in the same window, or a new window. A detailed description of the correct syntax to use can be found at the link to the external page in the Download section below.
This version of the plugin also improves upon the standard BBCode toolbar, adding a few new buttons and a couple of icons to identify what the dropdown lists are for. The new toolbar and the syntax of the external link attribute is shown in the picture below (click to enlarge).
Download
Download from this Wiki External page with detailed description and possibly updated download file
Note that this version includes a toolbar which REMOVES the right aligned textarea expand/reduce buttons, to make room for the new buttons and help to keep the interface neat and tidy. If you use this feature then a copy of the original toolbar is included in the zip file, named toolbar.old. Simply rename this to “toolbar.tpl” to restore this version instead. You may need to work out the best layout to use if you want to add the new buttons into the original version of the toolbar.
Usage
- Save a copy of your original fp-plugins/bbcode folder, in case something goes wrong
- Download and unzip the enhanced version of the plugin from one of the links above
- Overwrite your fp-plugins/bbcode folder with the new files and you're good to go!

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
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');
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
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.
FontDetector
With this plugin you can determine whether a vistor has a font installed or not and serve special CSS…

Usage

User feedback
Please be aware that this plugin can produce unpredictable results and should be used sparingly, if at all. Consider writing your own plugin or edit your page template file to achieve the effect you're looking for, as an alternative solution. Always test your page with inline php in a safe environment as any error in the code will crash your blog for anyone trying to access that page. Also code which works in a regular php page may not necessarily work when you add it as inline php to a FlatPress page - expect some baffling behaviour. (Plugin tested by Stanley December 2011)

QuickGallery

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
- [gallery=images/blabla/] for flatpress/fp-content/images/blabla/
- [gallery=myimages/blabla/] for flatpress/myimages/blabla/

AllINONE download package Martin's Home
Usage
I, Martin, have already packed All THE FILES in one zipped-package.So you do not need to adjust any source code anymore, just do as follows:
- Download the package.
- Extract the tiny_mce_allinone.zip and get TWO FOLDERS - 'bbcode' & 'tinymce'
- Upload these two folders to you WWW server IN THE PATH {Flatpress Blog Folder}\fp-plugins\ to cover the older files.
- Start the TinyMCE Plugin service in your control panel.
In fact, whatever, you do not need the 4-step-guide :)
ATTENTION: MAKE A BACKUP OF YOUR BBCODE FOLDER AT FIRST, AND THIS ALL-IN-ONE PACKAGE CONTAINS A COMPLETE COPY OF TinyMCE.
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.
