The default Wordpress Smiles are very simple and boring, So Yahoo/MSN Style Smiles Plugin will let you spice it up by replacing built-in Wordpress smiles with either Yahoo or MSN Messenger smiles. It also lets you put a clickable smiles quicktag above comments.
Installation:
- Download smiley images from here
- Extract and upload it to your wordpress root directory
- Now download im_smiley.txt, its extension to .php (like im_smiley.php)
- (If you need MSN Smiles) Edit im_smiley.php (Using Text Editor like notepad or VIM) and replace:
[code lang="php"]### $smiles_style let you choose yahoo or msn style smiley
### valid values are 'yahoo' or 'msn'
$smiles_style = 'yahoo';[/code]
With:
[code lang="php"]### $smiles_style let you choose yahoo or msn style smiley
### valid values are 'yahoo' or 'msn'
$smiles_style = 'msn';[/code]
- Upload im_smiley.php to your plugins directory (/wp-content/plugins/)
- Activate the plugin (from Wordpress Admin Menu >> Plugins)
- Inorder to show clickable smiles above comments, you need to edit your theme’s comments.php (either from Theme Editor or using your favorite Text Editor)
- Search for <textarea> and add the following line just above it.
[code lang="php"]<?php smiles_clickable() ?>[/code]
- Done
