mu.nu - It's mackerel stewed in chocolate!

Smile!

Okay, to add smilies, there are a couple of things you need to do.

First, define your smilies. We use MTMacro to do this. It can a lot of other stuff, but the way we use it for smilies is like this:

<MTMacroDefine name="happy" string=":)">
<img src="http://www.mu.nu/Forums/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)">
</MTMacroDefine>
<MTMacroDefine name="sad" string=":(">
<img src="http://www.mu.nu/Forums/images/smiles/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(">
</MTMacroDefine>
<MTMacroDefine name="happy2" string=":-)">
<img src="http://www.mu.nu/Forums/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)">
</MTMacroDefine>
<MTMacroDefine name="grin" string=":D">
<img src="http://www.mu.nu/Forums/images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif" alt=":D">
</MTMacroDefine>
<MTMacroDefine name="razz1" string=":p">
<img src="http://www.mu.nu/Forums/images/smiles/icon_razz.gif" alt=":p">
</MTMacroDefine>
<MTMacroDefine name="razz2" string=":-p">
<img src="http://www.mu.nu/Forums/images/smiles/icon_razz.gif" alt=":-p">
</MTMacroDefine>
<MTMacroDefine name="razz3" string=":P">
<img src="http://www.mu.nu/Forums/images/smiles/icon_razz.gif" alt=":P">
</MTMacroDefine>
<MTMacroDefine name="razz4" string=":-P">
<img src="http://www.mu.nu/Forums/images/smiles/icon_razz.gif" alt=":-P">
</MTMacroDefine>
<MTMacroDefine name="wink" string=";)">
<img src="http://www.mu.nu/Forums/images/smiles/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)">
</MTMacroDefine>
You need to put that near the top of each template where you want smilies to work.

Then, you wrap the part of the template that actually displays the text in <MTMacroApply> and </MTMacroApply. Our individual entry archive, for example, contains this:

<MTMacroApply>
<MTComments>
<div class="comments-body">
<$MTCommentBody$>
<span class="comments-post">Posted by: <$MTCommentAuthorLink spam_protect="1"$> at <$MTCommentDate$></span>
</div>
</MTComments>
</MTMacroApply>
Our main template... Well almost the whole thing is contained inside those two.

I was gonna black list it or something but I didn't want to screw anything up.

7 If all the email addresses start with comment_@ then we can block that. In fact, I have.

De-spamming begins... Now.

11 Not having much luck implementing this one...

I put all the Macros in a separate file so that it could be loaded in multiple places. I can see that it is being included OK but nothing happens.

Also, should the icons be given a size (in the image tag) to help dumb browsers....

12 I worked it out. If you put all the MTMacros in a standalone template, you then include it with <MTInclude template_name> near the start of <body>.

That works with both the <MTMacroApply> and also the apply_macros="1" flag.

13 Yay!
