If you are NOT using the wysiwyg monster… then the ‘quicktags” are just there: above your writing area.
The quicktags.js file should be – hmmm, it depends on your version, but most likely in your wp-includes/js/ folder.
I’m using version 2.0.3 I don’t know wysiwyg monster you are referring to i’m using regular wordpress?
I found the quick tags in my includes folder but not in the admin folder as te instructions say to do so should i just add <?php wp_grins(); ?> to the one in the includes file?
For wp_grins(), use these updated instructions:
http://www.tamba2.org.uk/wordpress/smilies/
The plugin was written for an earlier version of WP, and needs a slight alteration.
Ok I did that but one more error.
At the end of the directions it says;
[Save the file, upload. You should then have clickable smilies in admin. [b]Note: You cannot have clickable smilies AND the WYSIWYG editor. If both are present you will be able to see the smilies but nothing will happen when you click them.[/b] You will need to switch the new editor off for them to work.]
Which is my problem. How do I switch the new editor off for them to work. (i have no idea what WSIWYG is btw).
WYSIWYG = What You See Is What You Get = that ugly monster editor they included with WP; the editor that looks like a Word thing…
If you see the Quicktags, then it is disabled.
You can (must?) disable it in 2 places:
admin > Users Your Profile > left bottom corner : uncheck
admin > Options > Writing > uncheck Users should use the visual rich editor by default
