  • Hi,
    Think this would work on the main Post Entry page?

    I must be doing something wrong… when I click on a smilie, it tells me in the status bar that the page has errors and won’t add the smilie. I also have a script on there to automatically blod, italicize and link text in comments… is it possibly conflicting with that?

    Hmm, I tried this and keep getting an
    error on line 50
    character 1
    Error: ‘document.form.comment’ is null or not an object
    code: 0
    when i click on any of the smilies

    Ahhhh…. I forgot about Zone Alarm. I bet that’s my problem. Thanks! LOL

    Welcome! ?? It’s one of the first things I check when something won’t load, like pop-ups! *LOL*

    I have used my code on the pop-up comments with no problems and no modifications to the code. Others have asked me to put the code in their comments and it works for them as well.

    Sg, your code works wonderfully on the pop-up comments page. My modifications are designed for the main b2edit.php page, to enable smilies’ clickability in blog entries. ?? Sorry, didnt mean to say your code did not work.

    ?? Mmmmmmkay! I will have to put that code in my entries page, thanks! I guess I just read it wrong…

    Southerngal, I tried using the code, but when the comments pop up, the text box shows the following inside it:
    End before:
    <div>Close this window.</div>
    <!– // this is just the end of the motor – don’t touch that line either ?? –>
    <p class=”credit”>0.030 <cite>Powered by WordPress</cite>
    <script type=”text/javascript”>
    document.onkeypress = function esc(e) {
    if(typeof(e) == “undefined”) { e=event; }
    if (e.keyCode == 27) { self.close(); }
    }
    </script>
    </body>
    </html>
    Is there some closing code missing so that it doesn’t put it all inside the text box? Also, the smilies won’t go in there while that code is there.
    Thanks.

    Southerngal, hold on, I’m getting some of it now. In your code above, the “end before” wasn’t part of the code, it was an instruction.
    However, even when I just replace the existing URL part with the code, I have to leave the submit button code that’s existing, otherwise they have no place to submit their comments.
    But when I try to replace the code now, I still get this code within the text box:
    <input name=”submit” type=”submit” tabindex=”5″ value=”Say it!” />
    </form>
    <div>Close this window.</div>
    <!– // this is just the end of the motor – don’t touch that line either ?? –>
    <p class=”credit”>0.026 <cite>Powered by WordPress</cite>
    <script type=”text/javascript”>
    document.onkeypress = function esc(e) {
    if(typeof(e) == “undefined”) { e=event; }
    if (e.keyCode == 27) { self.close(); }
    }
    </script>
    </body>
    </html>
    There’s gotta be something I’m missing that stops the coding and leaves the textbox working and the submit. Do you know what I’m doing wrong?

    From the start body tag to the end body tag:

    echo(“

      • “);
      }
      else {
      if ($comments) {
      // this line is WordPress’ motor, do not delete it.
      foreach ($comments as $comment) {

    Hopefully this will help you Jackie and anyone else hunting for the template. ??

    That worked perfectly, madame. Thank you so much ??
    I did buy a book on php and mysql. It’s fairly obvious I haven’t finished it but also that it’s not quite the book I need for this.

    I don’t understand how zone alarm has anything to do with it? Did I miss something because I’m getting the same error as the person with the…
    Error: ‘document.form.comment’ is null or not an object
    …yes, I have my smilies on and placed it where it should be.

    Is there a way to get the clickable smiles to work in the comments when not using the pop-up? I have my weblog set so that the comments load in the main window. I tried just using the bit of code that made the smiles and putting it into b2comments.php and the smiles show up but when clicked they don’t go into the comment field. I don’t get an error but nothing happens.
