    I’ve seen alot of problems with users trying to insert <?php wp_grins(); ?> into the admin CP under the edtoolbar. Well, this is how you do it. Go to wp-admin/admin-functions.php and find:

    <script type="text/javascript">edToolbar();</script>
    ';
    echo '</div>';
    endif;
    }

    Replace that with:

    <script type="text/javascript">edToolbar();</script>
    ';
    ?>
    <?php wp_grins(); ?>
    <?php
    echo '</div>';
    endif;
    }

    That should do it. Worked for me perfect. If you get errors, Post them here and Ill try to help ;).

    Also,t this is a support question. I have inserted wp_grins(); to comments.php but since I have alot of emoticons, The page just like corrupts..everything like disappears (Well, not everything) and I cant do anything. How do I make it so I give
    tags for like 5 smiles for each line?

  • If the errors have gone, follow the guide I linked to a few posts up. It does work ??

    But thats just it I followed it and I still have nothing.

    I have them in my comments page though…

    I gave up and just changed vars.php so they were the same as yahoo. Thanks any way

    Hello to all! WP is a little over my head but I try real hard to understand all this… ??

    Anyway I’ve been following this thread and others related to making clickable smilies (wp_grins) work in posts and comments. So far I’ve gotten them to work in the comments (I am quite happy with this!) but still no luck in the posts. Too bad this feature isn’t easily implemented. LOL

    I am using WP 1.5.2 and the Dark Maple theme. I’ve tried what is suggested in the first post above by applying the changes in the admin-functions.php file, I’ve tried other solutions as well such as these:

    https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/26235

    and followed what is written in the Read Me file that came with the hack wp_grins.

    Although I don’t get any error messages (thank god…), I would like to know what to do to make this work in the posts. Thank you in advance for your help.

    That is my ‘admin-functions.php’ with the added line of code for smilies. It works as I’ve just tested it.

    Using your ftp client, RENAME your existing file to
    admin-functionsOLD.php
    then unzip and upload the one I have linked to.

    You should see a line of smilies under your quicktags.

    Thank you, podz, I will try this right now! ??

    Well it didn’t work, I’m sad to say. But I think I know what the problem is. It’s a little too late for me to try out some stuff right now but suffice it to say that I use Safari as a web browser and I just stumbled on this How To here:

    https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/20950

    Why do I suspect Safari? Because just now I went to my blog, logged in and pretended I was going to post and, yep! sure enough, the smilies were all there waiting for me to click on them so they could be inserted in a post…

    So tomorrow I will be looking into that solution and see if I can’t get this to work.

    I tried what was suggested in that post:

    https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/20950

    and I got a parse error. One thing is for sure, since that post, Safari has been updated and probably makes the workaround obsolete, perhaps?

    Or the problem could come from the theme I use. Whatever the reason for this, I am giving up. I’m satisfied for now that the clickable smilies show up for commenting and can only hope that Safari, the Dark Maple theme and WordPress talk to and agree with each other in future versions.

    Either that or I post using Firefox, an old version of Firebird or Camino.

    BTW. This problem also occurs in Shiira 1.1 and OmniWeb 5.1.1 (v563.51).

    Thanks podz for your help! :^)

    I have similies both on the edit toolbar and the comment area,but they are not clickable!!! when I click any of the simlies,nothing happens.what is,there is no code inserted into the textarea.feels like the similies are just pics hung on the page.
    any ideas??

    what about for wordpress 2?? i upgraded yesterday.. disabled rich text, so i see my quicktags.. but I just can’t get my wp_grins to show. i don’t know what the heck im missing.

    nunuh, these links might help ??
