Cricket Moods is a flexible “mood tag” WordPress plugin. It allows an author to 
add one or more “moods” to every post. Each mood can be associated with an 
image file. The result would be that the author could have an animated happy 
smiley face next to the words I’m Happy! for every post she wishes.
Cricket Moods presents you with a list of available moods when you go to create 
or edit a post. There is no need for you to remember your list of moods. Using 
an option panel in WordPress’ administrative menus, you can rename your moods or 
even change a mood’s graphic without modifying every post that uses that mood.
Despite this plugin’s name and my continual references to “moods”, this plugin 
can be used for more than just moods. For example, instead of displaying your 
current mood, you could give your readers the current weather where you are. 
You could rename the mood tags to things like “Sunny”, “Overcast”, and “Raining 
Cats and Dogs.” You could then upload little cloud and sun images and use those 
with the tags instead of the pre-defined mood smilies. You could even leave the 
tag text or the tag images blank to have either just text or just images.
Please note that Cricket Moods will only be receiving critical bug fixes from 
this point forth (if we’re lucky). I am working on a complete rewrite of the 
plugin called PostBits. The code for it isn’t complete and needs a lot of 
work. If you’d like to help, let me know. Check it out at:

<h3>Usage</h3>
By default, Cricket Moods will automatically print each post’s moods just above 
each post’s content. You may also have it automatically print the mood just 
below the post content by changing the appropriate option in the Cricket Moods 
options panel.
Using the “Moods” panel under “Manage” in the WordPress administrative area, you 
can add, modify, and delete moods as you see fit. Leaving the “Mood Name” blank 
will cause Cricket Moods not to display any text with that mood’s image for a 
purely pictorial representation of your mood. Conversely, you can leave the 
“Image File” blank and no smilie or other image will be shown with that mood. 
Deleting a mood will also remove any references to that mood from your blog 
posts.
<h4>`cm_the_moods()`</h4>
If you want your moods to be displayed somewhere other than directly above or 
below the content, you must place <code>cm_the_moods()</code> somewhere inside The Loop and 
disable AutoPrint in the Cricket Moods options. When called with no parameters, 
 cm_the_moods() only prints the mood image followed by the mood name, an 
ampersand, and any more moods followed by ampersands. For example, on a post 
with the moods “Happy” and “Bored” it will print:
<pre><code> <img src="/wp-images/smilies/icon_happy.gif" alt="Happy emoticon" /> Happy
 &amp; <img src="/wp-images/smilies/icon_neutral.gif" alt="Bored emoticon" />
 Bored
</code></pre>
If there are no moods for the current post, it will print nothing.
<pre><code>cm_the_moods() can take three parameters:

 <?php cm_the_moods('separator', 'before', 'after'); ?>
</code></pre>
<ul>
<li><code>separator</code> (string) Text to place in between multiple moods. Default is <code>' &amp; '</code>.</li>
<li><code>before</code> (string) Text to place before the first mood. Default is nothing.</li>
<li><code>after</code> (string) Text to place after the last mood. Default is nothing.</li>
</ul>
A good way to implement this would be:
<pre><code> <?php cm_the_moods(' and ', 'My mood is: ', '.'); ?>
</code></pre>
<h4>`cm_has_moods()`</h4>
You can also use <code>cm_has_moods()</code> to determine if the current post or a specific 
post has moods associated with it. It will return true or false accordingly.
<pre><code>cm_has_moods() can take one parameter:

 <?php cm_has_moods(post_id); ?>
</code></pre>
<ul>
<li>
<code>post_id</code> (integer) The ID of the post you are inquiring about. Default is the ID of the current post.
cm_has_moods() must be used inside The Loop if <code>post_id</code> is not provided.
<h3>Known Issues</h3>
</li>
<li>Things get a little fuzzy when you change the author of an existing post with 
mood tags. If the two authors do not have the exact same mood list, the 
associated moods may seem to unexpectedly change or not show at all. It is 
recommended that you disassociate all the moods from a post before changing the 
post’s author.</li>
<li>Editing the post of another user will cause that user’s moods to be 
displayed, not yours. This is an unavoidable feature.</li>
</ul>
