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=":)">You need to put that near the top of each template where you want smilies to work.

</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>
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>Our main template... Well almost the whole thing is contained inside those two. Posted by Pixy Misa at November 16, 2004 03:06 PM
<MTComments>
<div class="comments-body">
<$MTCommentBody$>
<span class="comments-post">Posted by: <$MTCommentAuthorLink spam_protect="1"$> at <$MTCommentDate$></span>
</div>
</MTComments>
</MTMacroApply>
Ummm... did that really show up in this post the way you wanted it to, Pixy?

Do you have a list of new MuNuvians to add to the blogrolls?

I was gonna black list it or something but I didn't want to screw anything up.
If all the email addresses start with comment_@ then we can block that. In fact, I have. 
De-spamming begins... Now.

Posted by click here at March 12, 2005 09:30 AMNot 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....
Posted by Ozguru at May 30, 2005 01:18 PMI 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.
