I have just installed this in my Joomla setup and it looks wonderful.

But, there is a problem. When I try to access the control panel through the Joomla admin interface I see the icons ok. When I click on any of the icons I get this:

Access denied. You must open SmileTAG Admin Panel from your Joomla Admin.

Any suggestions?

I have tested this in the latest version of Joomla 1.0.12. If you are running 1.5 then things might not work. Joomla 1.5 has a different permissions system.

I allready have this smiletag but without the admin panel, downloaded somewhere. I have a problem with codepage.
Some Portuguese characters (é è á à ã õ, etc) doesn't display correctly in firefox, in IE works good in 'UNICODE UTF-8'. But in firefox with the same 'UNICODE UTF-8' doesn't work. Why? Can we correct the codepage in the 'post.php' file?
Thanks.

Same problem, I'm unable to display éàèêç in firefox and IE.
I've got 2.4.1 Joomla version but don't work.

check your server to make sure you can save and write utf-8 to the xml file. many servers do not have unicode installed because it gives them problems with the mysql version they are running.

Hello, i found a little bug when parsing smileys returns a plain html code.

I "resolved" this replacing line 110 on lib/St_TemplateParser.class.php to this:

$replacements[1] = html_entity_decode($value['message']);

WARNING: This is an exploitable line because the user can put HTML code and execute it. But converts the IMG tag into the corresponding image.

It's posible to fix this bug parsing the line and replacing only the IMG tag with html_entity_decode.

Can the author of script fix this bug?

I will take a look at it a.s.a.p.

The bug has been fixed and we have bumped Smiletag up by one version point. Let us know if there is still a problem.
