e.g. say that :cheese: is a smilie.

:cheese::cheese::cheese::cheese:

will only give

[smilie]:cheese::cheese::cheese:

But what about smilies that have not a space in front of them? They are still being parsed as text instead of smilies….

How I promise, I write here again ;).

I wrote a plugin that “fix” wordpress 2.1 smilies. If someone want it - Usmivki.

Where the behavior is most annoying is in comments. Average folk are more likely to use colon-parenthesis symbols which WordPress won’t replace correctly “on the fly” unless someone happens to luck into the secret method. I don’t get so many smiley-laced comments that’s it’s actually a problem for me, but it did happen often enough to drive me to the codex and help forums to see if it was just me…

You are right, Alex.

I know this disadvantage well but I post that solution for people that do not want to edit his post and database records.

I’ll try to write a plugin that make this changes on the fly, so if the Wordpress developers do not change the regular expression in next versions, this “fix” to work. If I success with develop, I’ll post here again.

P.S. Sorry for my not so good english.

Simple, yes - but when you end up with a dozen or so of those little tweaks to be done on each upgrade, it’s a hassle. Making my data comply with WordPress’ expectations is a better forward-looking solution.

To “fix” Smilies in Wordpress 2.1 just line:
$wp_smiliessearch[] = '/(\s|^)'.preg_quote($smiley, '/').'(\s|$)/';
in /wp-includes/vars.php with
$wp_smiliessearch[] = '/(\s|^)'.preg_quote($smiley, '/').'/';

I had some fun with that while testing 2.1. I used the Search and replace plugin rather than working directly with MySQL. I also modified WP-Grins to make sure to pad spaces around new smilies - documented here.

Interesting, that does indeed explain a thing or two.
