smilies w/ quick reply

[ub3x]

I've been working for about 20 minutes, trying to figure out how to integrate smilies into firefly's quick reply, here's what I've done.

First, I opened up the newreply template, which is under the "new posting templates" set. So that I could see how the template is being referenced and everything. Inside there I found this block of code:

<td bgcolor="#1C5780" valign="top" nowrap><normalfont><b>Your Reply:</b></normalfont>
<p><smallfont>
See Forum Rules (below) for<br>
more information about what<br>
codes you are allowed to use<br>
in your posts.</smallfont></p>
$vbcode_smilies</td>
<td bgcolor="#1C5780">

So I copied the part that says $vbcode_smilies asuming this is what is used to call the smilies template to the page.

After that, I went to the showthread_replybox template, which is inside the custom templates category, and inserted a new column like so:

<tr valign="center"" align="center">

<td align="center" valign="center"> $vbcode_smilies </td>

<td align="center"><textarea name="message" rows="7" cols="$textareacols" wrap="virtual" tabindex="1"
onmouseover="this.style.background='#FFFFFF'" onmouseout="this.style.background='#1C5780'"></textarea>

For some reason, this result is not being printed into threadview, where the quick reply is.

Does anybody have any idea on how I can fix this? or have any idea on how this can be accomplished? Thanks

Remember to add $clickysmilies to the showthread_replybox template where you want them to be displayed :)
