Smiles choosing dialog

Maybe we can use this
i took the idea from a other form.
file attached is a php page and javascript file that demonstrates what is the idea

you only see the smiley's after you click on the link and than you can click on the smiley's to insert them directly in the textarea.

the only problem is i dont know how to get it just under the comment textarea in drupal.
it should be just above the formatting options list.
so that its easy to use for users.

I am working on it to implant it in smiley.module and till so far its going nice.
only i still look for a way to display it just under the comment form box (before "Input format")
i can not get java to work from a window (like jscalendar does), maybe i do something wrong.
so if you have a idea, than its almost finish.
i also need it on my site because its otherwise to difficult for user to use the smiley's

Ok try this
i hope this is the thing we are looking for.
i am not finish with the code yet but this already work

place everything in the smileys module folder and merge the style.css with your theme style.css

good luck and let me know what you think of it

This is a real workable version.
Place everything from the zip in your smileys module directory. and it should work right away.
probably you have to enable some features in the access control page, because you can choose who can use it and if the smiley select box is collapsed.

only one small bug that i could find is that the collapsible field is not working for anonymous users, but i cant find anything about this on the drupal forum.

Have phun ;-)

i posted to fast,

replace line 71 $pages = 'node/*';
with $pages = "node/*\ncomment/*";

otherwise you get only the smiley box on node's and not also on the comment page

Thanks for making this dialog, really helps me a lot.
But I did find an error in the javascript:

You have in the beginning

function initMessageBox()
{
  if (!target) target = document.getElementById('edit-comment');

But this will make the script only work for comments.
I made a quick (and dirty) fix for this one:

function initMessageBox()
{
  if (!target) target = document.getElementById('edit-comment');
  if (!target) target = document.getElementById('edit-body');
  if (!target) target = document.getElementById('edit-flexinode_2');

If you use different flexinode-stuff or others like cck then you will have to add the fields to the list.
I hope this will be of use to anyone.

Greetings.

My idea was to find a way that drupal tell the javascript which message box it should use.
but this was the wast way to make a working script.
but if you have a good way, feel free to chance it.

A different version of PHP and Javascript code was used. Although used the smileys table css formatting as in contributions above.

All into 5.x-1.0 version! Thanks!
