Yah I know I know. They want them.

After site was taken down by the great storm in nYc we had to rebuild it from a back up.

Now there are a few issues. Emoticons aren’t showing.

I removed the module and reinstalled it. I also checked the emoticon preferences. Set the URL to the right folder in images.

When somebody makes a comment and inserts 😊 it does pull up an image, but the image has no path. IE smile.gif but no http://www.site.com/images/smileys/smile.gif or /images/smileys/smile.gif

Any suggestions would be highly appreciated.

LOL- ok, so it renders as <img src=“smile.gif”>, yes?

What do you get if you put this in a template w/php parsing turned on?

<?php

echo  $this->EE->config->slash_item('emoticon_url');

?>

blank page O_O tried output AND input with php on… bad news?

I strongly suspect it’s an empty string- you could try:

<?php

var_dump($this->EE->config->slash_item('emoticon_url'));

?>

If it comes back false, it means the emoticon_url isn’t set, if it comes back an empty string it… means the same thing, really.  If it’s still blank?  It’s a php error because I goofed up the syntax 😉.

Double check the emoticon url- and maybe try hard coding it in your config file, just to be on the safe side?  But my bet is something is up with that config variable.

Hi Robin, it came back string(0) “”

How do I set up a the config variable? Is it on the config file?

$config['emoticon_url'] = "http://expressionengine.com/images/smileys";

ok that worked can close. Thank you
