Adding clickable smilies to the post screen.

  • This works with 1.5.1.2

    Download wp-admin/admin-functions.php
    Open in Notepad / Wordpad or some other basic text editor
    Find this line (it’s 572):
    function the_quicktags () {

    Line 589 is
    echo '</div>';

    Immediately above line 589, add this:
    if (function_exists("wp_grins")) { echo ""; wp_grins(); }

    Save, re-upload.

    If you then get an error about ‘headers already sent’, do a search here or at Codex for that issue.

    Yes, I know editing core files is not great, but this works.

  • Didn’t work for me. Aaaaaaaaah! I’m so frustrated.

    You need to have the plugin wp_grins uploaded and activated. (I should have mentioned that really shouldn’t I …)

    I have the plugin uploaded…but it’s not showing up in the plugins section. How am I supposed to activate it? :\

    Did you upload the folder, or just the .php file ?
    And are you sure it’s the plugin, not the hack ?

    I uploladed both (just incase, the instructions weren’t very helpful)…and I assume it was the plugin. No idea why it won’t show up. I’m using 1.5.1.3.

    Ok….I got it to show up and be activated (had to edit the commented top part of the php file) but it doesn’t show the smilies, it only shows the bbcode. Clicking in the bbcode inserts the smilie, but is there a way to actually show the smilie and clicking on that inserts the bbcode? (Assuming I messed up somewhere.)

    It’s been 3 weeks….is it safe to bump this now?
