Ok, ill fit that in when i get time

[Wasabite]

I suppose that it's compatible with this mod?
http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=449
I mean, they won't be parsed if the user does not have the required permissions?

[Sabre™]

Any chance of implementing the smileys into this also?
It'd be good to have it under the comment box, where Ive shown in the image.

Right click and select view for larger image

I've tried this numerous ways, but have had no success.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated
Cheers.

I need this mod but....

I installed it successfully but when I try to apply the mod I get sent to a "Error 500 - Internal server error. An internal server error has occured!
Please try again later." page.

Whats the problem?

Okay?
I'm using smf 1.1.7 and this is the only mod I've ever tried to install that gives a 500 internal server error when I try to apply it. What would be the reason for this?

[brandonroy]

Anybody?

Mod still gives a 500 internal server error when I try to apply it. And I really like this mod as it would be quite useful for members who don't know how to use BBcode by memory for their signatures.

nice thanx worked nps 

[Garou]

brandonroy, I don't know what to tell you. I just installed this mod on two different servers, one windows and one Linux. The mod installed just fine on both.

A 500 error is so broad the problem could be anything. Have you checked your log to see if there are any other errors that show up when you try to install? Have you tried to install the mod manually? Are you able to install any other mods after trying to install this one and not receive the error? Im thinking the problem is on the server and not the mod.

Ah thanks for mentioning that. I didn't even think to just manually do the mod by editing the profile.template.php file. I just did that and it looks good. Works great.

As for the 500 error... I have no idea. It's never happened with any other mods (before AND after trying to apply this mod) I've installed and applied new mods since trying this one, and they work fine. So idk! Everything's good for now though. Thanks :]

[Garou]

Glad it worked for you.

Its such an odd issue that installing any mod would cause a 500 error but if all works fine for you Ill let it go at that. 

[mirakhu]

thanx bro good mod

[sheryltoo]

Any chance of making this a WYSIWYG editor for RC1?
