Thats a good question and one that I had down as a project to document. This will require changes in several places as you have to handle stories and comments for both create, preview and display.

There have been changes with 1.3.9 for how comments are handled. I will use 1.3.9 and document the hacks required and post my results shortly.

The glMessenger function msg_replaceEmoticons() will replace any emoticons with the HTML for the assigned image. By adding this function in the lib-common functions that display the article and the comments you will have support for smilies. Only the emoticon like is stored and will be replaced with the smilie image on the fly when being displayed.

This was tested with GL 1.3.9

Step1: lib-common.php function COM_article

We want to use the replaceEmoticons on the introtext and bodytext of any articles.
Around Line 485 - add:

Step2: lib-common.php COM_getComment
We want to use the replaceEmoticons on the comment text.

Around Line 2806 - add:


The only additional calls would be needed to the Admin Story Editor for when creating or editing stories as Admin. The 2 changes above will add smilie support for anyone submitting stories and/or comments.

Plus glMessenger provides you with the Smilie Admin interface to add/edit smilies for a complete solution to personalize your site.
