Smiley Support
-
The Smiley Support module checks the user input text for common smiley characters and turns them into an image.
Overview
The most famous smiley is colon right-parenthesis
which looks like a smiley face.
The smiley support module allows you to choose your own smileys and add new ones that fit your community.
It comes with the option to easily install a default set which can be extended and changed to fit your needs. -

The Quota Config setting will show the smiley button in the editor, but there is also another location you need to know about. "Active Text Formatters"

If you enable the "Allow Smileys" in this section then any : ) characters will be turned into from text that users type into forums and comments etc.
