Changing the priority from "Medium" to "High" because it can result in a
bunch of broken images everywhere.

TinyMCE stores the emoticons in the text fields as hard-coded links,
e.g. '<img src="http://vegas.wgtn.cat-
it.co.nz/mahara/htdocs/js/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-cool.gif"
alt="" />'. We could do some kind of database update that searches
through all the user text fields and rewrites the smiley paths. Or we
could patch TinyMCE so that it stores an abstract placeholder instead,
and then when we display the text, run it through a filter that replaces
the placeholder with the actual image URL.

It's tempting to just move the images back to their original path (which
we could do by renaming the plugin from "emoticons" back to "emotions"),
but the problem, is that now we've got sites out there using Mahara
1.10, with hard-coded links to the new path! So ultimately, in 15.04, we
will have to do a database update to rewrite all these to the new path.
:-\

Since we want to avoid database updates in minor releases, I propose the
following fixes for 1.10 and 15.04:

1.10: We put a second copy of the images under the original location,
htdocs/js/tinymce/plugins/emotions

15.04: We do a database script that locates instances of the old
emoticon URLs and rewrites them to the new emoticon URL.

Title:
  TinyMCE emoticons are not displayed in TinyMCE 4

Bug description:
  Upgrading Mahara from 1.9.x to 1.10.x causes a problem with all
  emoticons used prior to the upgrade. No image is displayed; the link
  is broken.

  After analyzing the situation, the folder comtaining images as been
  renamed. In version 1.9.x, images were in
  /js/tinymce/plugins/emotions/img/ ; in version 1.10 they are in
  /js/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/ folder.

  To correct the problem, I copied the img folder in a new folder
  emotions... but it's not an elegant solution. Best solution is not to
  change de the name of the folder or to add a script to correct in the
  database the path to the emoticon images.
