Unfortunately, I cannot access your site at all.

I think the only way I’m going to figure out what’s wrong is to duplicate your options in my install and troubleshoot from there. If you email me with which modules you have enabled and your settings, I can take a look and hopefully find a solution. Your options can be exported by opening the admin page for AJAXed WordPress and clicking Show all current saved AWP options in the far right column. Copy all of the text and email it to whesleymccabe@slightofmind.net and I’ll take a look.

Also, if you’ve made any changes to your theme template files, I’ll need to know what you’ve changed.

Once I have everything set up, it shouldn’t take long for me to find the problem and come up with a solution.

Sorry it’s me again (LOL) . Here is another issue with the AJAX and your plugin. I just noticed recently that the 2nd solution you provided for me only works fine when the comment forms are open by default when a page loads (another feature of AJAX).

Since I’m putting my inline comment on my home page, I disable that feature (which means that the comment form are NOT open when the page loads and the user has to click the link to make it open inline) to make the page loads faster (imagine having to load 200 smiles on my homepage for every post I have !!). Here comes the problem…

The link to open the comment form inline will not work when the comment form is not opened when the page loads.

To make it easier to understand, you can go to my website http://downbike.byethost31.com . (by the way it’s not in English so it’s not your problem if you don’t understand a word in the page ). You can see the problem if you click the link ” Add a Comment ” below my first post (the one that said “What? No comment allowed today??). Instead of expanding the comment form inline, clicking the link will give you another link which is ” Cancel reply .”

Now you can go to one of my post or this link http://downbike.byethost31.com/?p=47 . When loading the page, you will notice that the comment form is open by default and the 2 plugin works correctly.

Also, when I take out the code that you provide ( ) in the commentform.php file, the link ” Add a Comment ” and the comment form work correctly (without the smiley of course) on my homepage where the comment forms are NOT opened by default.

You have any suggestion on how to fix that?

thanks in advance….

Thanks, it’s working correctly now. The 1st method you suggested did not work (i tried it before already ). But the 2nd did.
Thanks again

I forgot to mention that if you use option two, you should open the Tango Smileys Extended Admin page and uncheck Enable CTI for Comments. Since you are manually adding the CTI smileys, you don’t need TSE to add them for you.

I’ve looked into the issue, and here’s what I’ve found:

AJAXed WordPress makes a change to the ID of each comment textarea. Since the ID is not the same for each post, Tango Smileys Extended does not know where to add the smiley text when you click a smiley. There are three possible solutions that I have found.

1. Disable Simple Comments in AJAX at AJAXed WordPress » Comments. I haven’t found a real reason to have it enabled, but I could be missing something.
2. Edit commentform.php and add Tango Smileys Extended manually (instructions below).
3. I would need to add a special function to Tango Smileys Extended to make it fully compatible with the change in ID that AJAXed WordPress makes, so commentform.php would not need to be edited.

The first option would be your best bet for now, since I’ve put TSE on hold, but if you find that disabling Simple Comments causes an issue then I would recommend option two.

To add Tango Smileys Extended to AJAXed WordPress, open the file /wp-content/plugins/ajaxd-wordpress/modules/inlinecommentform/templates/commentform.php and go to line 96. Create a new line and add the following text:

tse_cti_anywhere( 'comment'.$input_suffix ); ?>

I’ve tested this change a few times and found no issue. However, there are so many options with AJAXed WordPress that I may have missed something.

In the future, I will be adding a new function to Tango Smileys Extended to be compatible with AJAXed WordPress (much like I did for MCEComments), but for now the only solution I can offer is the first two options.

I’m using the ajaxed wordpress (AWP for short) plugin which is a collection of other ajax plugins. The one that i’m concern with the inline comments feature of AWP.
The link to the plugin is http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/ajaxd-wordpress/

Which AJAX plugin are you using? I’ll take a look and see what the issue is.

Hey it’s me again. Thanks for your fast reply. I was having another issue with your plugin. I was using the AJAX inline comment plugin. However, the CTI doestn’t work with the AJAX. The Click to insert smiley form will still appear in the inline comment. However, clicking the image will not insert the shorthand in the comment. I know it’s not the issue with my theme because when I disable the AJAX plugin, your plugin works. Is there anyway I can change your plugin to make it compatible witht the AJAX?

Tango is actually a styling standard; more information can be found here. Most of the smileys came from Pidgin and the rest are custom additions. The ability to add or change the smileys has been worked on, but it will be a while before it is added to this plugin. However, if you want larger smileys, the 24px smileys are available on the TSE homepage here. Just extract the new smileys into the [cci_dos]tango-smileys-extended\tango[/cci_dos] folder, overwriting the current smileys.

Hello , First of all I have only been using your plugin for about a day at the time I write this comment. It’s a great plugin. I love it especially the smilies. However I just want to know the name of the icon (or smiley) pack that you are using. I know it’s from Tango (from your plugin name) but I want a specific name.

I have a little suggestion. It’s would be nice to be able to add your own smiley in your plugin. Also the smiley that you’re using is great but they’re just too small for my eyes. I have a hard time finding the right smiley when writing my post because they’re too small….
