The link for this has changed, you can find the tutorial over here, at smilies hack.

I posted this question at Lisa's site but I'll post on here as well just in case

This is where I am stuck: I see the ‘smilie’ link under the title bar. It’s clickable, but nothing pops-up.

These are some of my details:
My full path according to the MT-check I once did is [/export/home/amethyst/www/]
I installed MT inside my cgi-bin so the edit_entry file was found there.
My smilies (all 240+of them) are inside my www/ (i.e http://www.mysite.com/smilies/)

This is what my edit_entry file looks like:
[ smilies]

This is what my index2.php file looks like:
[//EDIT THESE PATH
$smiliepath = ”/smiles/”;
$serverPathToSmilies = ”/export/home/amethyst/www/smilies”/;
// DO NOT EDIT BELOW THIS LINE
$commentsFormName = “entry_form”;
$commentsTextName = “text”;
?>]

What do you suggest???

Hey Jessy; I responded to you in email, did you not receive it?

You have in your path smiles and in your server path smilies. that could be causing a problem, you should double check and make sure that they point to the right ones… =) That's the first thing to check. Also make sure the link in edit_entry is pointing to the right file.

Let me know if you need more help!

Actually, my edit_entry file looks like this (sorry forgot to click on the auto link to strip the brackets):
<a href="#" onClick="window.open("/smilies/index2.php","smilies",'toolbar=no,location=no,directories=no,status=yes,menubar=no,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,width=400,height=300')"> smilies</a>

Ok, then you need to change where it says smiles in index2 to read smilies… this line:

smiliepath = ”/smiles/”;

let me know if that helps, or exactly what happens when you try it. =)

Nope, hadn't gotten the email, but I'm sure it landed at my junk folder. :/

I have made the changes you pointed out. I cannot believe I didn't notice smiles and smilies. Anyhoo. Still my pop-up doesn't pop :/

Here's what I have now:
<a href="#" onClick="window.open("/smilies/index2.php","smilies",'toolbar=no,location=no,ect…ect…')"> smilies</a>

//EDIT THESE PATH
$smiliepath = "/smilies/";
$serverPathToSmilies = "/export/home/amethyst/www/smilies"/;

And the ugly part it that I tried right clicking on the smilie link to "open in new window" and it opens my Edit entry again. Then I tried to "copy short cut" and sure enough I get the url to my edit entry screen [http://www.amethystique.com/cgi-bin/mt.cgi?__mode=view&_type=entry&blog_id=1#]

Jessy – I haven't looked to far into your issue – but I'm noticing you keep putting the path in the comments here like this:
$serverPathToSmilies = "/export/home/amethyst/www/smilies"/;

That last / should be INSIDE the quotes…

$serverPathToSmilies = "/export/home/amethyst/www/smilies/";

don't know if that will fix ALL your problems – but that might be one of them.

I FIXED IT! Like I mentioned before I wasn't able to get the smilies pop-up to, well, pop-up! As I compared the edit_entry code to to my comments code which uses Lazyman's smilies I found that the only difference was in the "" vs ".
This is what I have now in my edit_entry.tmpl

<table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
<td colspan="2" valign="top">
<img src="<TMPL_VAR NAME=STATIC_URI>images/spacer.gif" width="1" height="10"></td>
<a href="#" onClick="window.open('/smilies/mtsmilies.php','smilies','toolbar=no,location=no,directories=no,status=yes,menubar=no,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,width=440,height=300')"> smilies</a>
</tr>

<tr>
<td width="402"><font class="pagetitle"><MT_TRANS phrase="Entry Body"></font></td>
<td width="98" align="right" valign="top">
