The Smilies Plugin renders text smilies in a post such as :) into smiley images. It also provides a toolbar for the item editor to quickly and easily insert text smilies into the post.

Optional smilies toolbar

Plugin Settings

• Use smilies toolbar: check to display the smilies toolbar in the item editor. It can be overridden by users in their profile.
• Smiley list: this is the list of available text smilies that are mapped to smiley images.

Adding Smilies

You can add new smiley images by uploading the images to the rsc/smilies/ folder. You will have to edit the smilies plugin setting to include the newly uploaded images. The list of smileys (one per line) is in the following format:

char_sequence image_file // optional comment

To disable a smiley, just add one or more spaces to the start of its setting.
