BuddyPress.org

to get at the list of built in smilies (or even override the list) the global $wpsmiliestrans contains an array

have a look in wp-includes/formatting.php for the smilie stuff (filters to override the location, translate_smiley will return an img src, etc)

If you’re running BP on a single installation just install the “custom smilies” there after under each comment or reply box you can put an emote menu in where the user will click “emoticons” and it will bring up an iframe in a fancy window and you can just select what smily you want based on category

@gibbyesl, I’ve done this on a buddypress site that I’m currently busy with. I’ll post a step-by-step guide once I’m done.

got around to posting up what i did – but on the forum area only.

(though i’m using markitup – but i’m sure anything can be used)

This idiot is happily waiting for a guide

Thanks

Gibby
