Frowning about Smilies
Posted: Sun Nov 23, 2003 4:33 pm
Just finished installing and configuring Serendipity for www.blogsball.com. Pretty smooth and I like it so far. Great install package!!
Two problems:
- HOW CAN I TURN OFF AUTO-CONVERT FOR SMILIES???
This is a sportsblog for my son and lines like:
"Jacksonville Jaguars (2-8) vs. New York Jets (3-7)"
turns 8) into the 'joe cool' smilie. Great if you're from Jacksonville, but it's a real pain. How can I kill this 'feature'? For now I'm making him put a space between the 8 and the ), but it looks goofy and its another thing to remember. phpBB lets me turn this off. Is there a config flag or setting somewhere to help here, either globally or per-posting?
- Preview posting doesn't work. Not a biggie but a pain since it clears the body text when it reloads.
Ok, three problems. Can't get ImageMagick to compile and make, but that ain't a s9y problem. I'll post another time for help solving that one.
