C4F Textarea Toolbar is a plugin for WordPress aimed at providing a simple yet very useful and precise tool to insert emoticons and markup in the comments' textarea. The JavaScript code used has been written to specifically address most (if not all) flaws in the interpretation of cursor position and text replacement of the other smilies/markup inserting tools you can find in forums and blogs and it does so by also taking into account the many differences among the major browsers.

With C4F Textarea Toolbar installed on your blog you and your readers will live a hassle-free comment's writing experience being able to really insert emoticons and formatting markup in place without getting your cursor thrown at the end of the text or your text bumped up and the like.

Features Summary

  • Options Panel in Administration
  • Ability to choose between the display of either markup buttons, smiley buttons or both
  • Ability to reset C4F Textarea Toolbar to its default values or delete the database entry completely
  • C4F Textarea Toolbar works both with the WordPress hook that is below the comments' textarea in most themes, or by including a simple call in your template as we strongly recommend (this automatically overrides the hook call)
  • A warning message in case the user's browser doesn't support JavaScript or has JavaScript disabled
