As an administrator of a pretty busy forum, I get tired of users asking to add this smiley, or that smiley, so I wrote up this extension that allows users to upload their own smileys. Each user has a custom smiley set that they can choose from.

Users smilies are private, meaning everyone can see their smilies, but that smiley is only displayed in that users smiley set when they post/reply to an article.

The administrator can limit what groups can use custom smileys, and can define how many smilies users can have, their file size, and W X H restrictions.

ChangeLog:

May 18th, 2006 - Patched popup smilie hook for standard editor (advanced was fine)
May 21st, 2006 - Patched popup smilie hook to include phrases instead of static names. Modified readme slightly for smiliebits.

Installation

Installation is simple and there are NO source code edits.

Installed!
At last, I can get some smilie addicts off my back:)

Installed!

Wizardan, please let me know how it works on your site. It seems to be working fine for me, but I have only tested it on two sites so far, so the pool is rather small.

[wizardan]

Tested all features.
100% functionality:)

I might change allowable size and number values in the admin CP and see how that goes.

Well done!

Suggestion...
Perhaps the 'custom' link in the smilie pop up could lead to only the user's custom smilies, as opposed to the regular smilie list followed by the user's custom list.

[Jafo232]

Suggestion...
Perhaps the 'custom' link in the smilie pop up could lead to only the user's custom smilies, as opposed to the regular smilie list followed by the user's custom list.

I am considering that, it requires another template and I am a bit concerned about compatibility issues.

I am thinking though, you could put the custom smilies on top of the regular smilies by putting $usmiliebits above $smiliebits in the smiliepopup template.

[wizardan]

I'll give that a whirl!

*edit* Done.
Seems more functional that way.

Would really like a separate list, as suggested, if you determine it's doable.
My forums are very heavily hacked, with an extremelly customized style, and there was absolutely no problems installing this enhancement.

[Atakan KOC]

<font color="SeaGreen">Nice. Click install....</font>

[VaaKo]

does it work with vbshout?
I've installed it but nothing is happening in the shoutbox!
it's not evening working in normal posts! :\

[Jafo232]

I have no idea about vbshout, I have never used it. From what I have seen from the vbshout thread, I doubt it.

[wizardan]

One bug to report...
There's is a problem, it turns out, with the uploaded being clickable.
They show up as a url in the post field now...

[VaaKo]

oh, so this is basically like the vbimage host
it wouldve been better if u made it more like the real smilies found in the admincp where each smilie has his own code and stuff not just an img url

[VaaKo]

They show up as a url in the post field now...
exactly
I uploaded a smilie called: rudolph
I tried putting: "rudolph" and "rodolph:" in my posts but nothing happened
when I open the custom smilies and clicked on the smilie I uploaded it gave me the url

that's not nice

I thought about that, and thought it would be rather CPU intensive having to load all the users smilie codes in a threadview, and parsing out individual codes.

[VaaKo]

I already have more than 500 smilies on my forums!
I mean it wouldn't make a different!
IMO the hack like that is kinda useless!
and it's more useless not to let other members have advantage of the uploaded smilies by anyone!

I mean, if a user uploaded a smilie, everyone should enjoy it!

Well, good for you, you can just click uninstall then. ;)

Works for me and my users prefer to have their own personal smilies.

[Jafo232]

Hmm, I am not getting that. I just show it insert the image right into the text editor:

[wizardan]

Oh well, I might have cheered too early, and it turns out I do have a code conflict somewhere. I'll recheck my install:)

[Jafo232]

Hmm, wondering what happens if you change the code back to put the custom smilies on the bottom again?

[wizardan]

Tried that.
Same result.
Not the first time relatively simple hacks give me headaches:p
I'll find the bug somehow!

[lordofgun]

What happens if one of your users names a smiley the same name as another smiley in the general smiley population?

Also, can anyone use that user's custom smiley or will it only work for that user?

Great addon!

Let me know what you find. I would be very interested. I am thinking it is something template related, but not sure.

Great addon!

There will be no conflict if people use the same names.

Only the user can use the smiley. Of course, if someone really likes it, they can right click it, save as, and add it to their smiley. :)

[yinyang]

great hack. absolutely loving it.

[Snake]

Very nice indeed. I shall install it tonight.

[palerider]

clicking one of the above custom smilies results in this...
[

Thanks for the hack, but I'm getting the same thing.

[TTG]

After uploading a custom smilie and clicking on it to add to a post, it simply creates a url .. click on the url and smilie appears in a new window !?

[Jafo232]

Which editor are you guys using when you get this and what version of VB are you using?

[palerider]

Standard editor

3.5.4

[Jafo232]

Ahh I see, this is only working for the advanced editor... I will see what I can do with it as far as standard editor..

[Jafo232]

Ok, fixed the issue with standard editors. You can apply the fix by following the directions in the 1.01.patch.txt, OR you can uninstall, and re-install the latest version.

The patch is much easier, and your users won't lose their smileys.

Current version as of this post: 1.01

[palerider]

Thanks. Works great now.

[Jafo232]

Thanks. Works great now.

Your welcome, let me know if you have any other further issues with it. :banana:

[wizardan]

Yep, works now:p
Thanks for the patch.

[Jafo232]

Yep, works now:p
Thanks for the patch.

Great! I have never used the standard editor, always used the advanced editor. Minor oversight. :D

[wizardan]

Yep.
The smilie wars have already started on my forum!
Thanks again for the fix. I never would have thought of the editor being an issue.

[Jafo232]

Funny you mention that, same thing going on in my forum.

[utw-Mephisto]

Funny you mention that, same thing going on in my forum.

Same here, and funny to see smilies I have never even saw in my life :D

[Nachtfalke]

Seems to be something wrong. I have translated the phrases into german, but still the english phrase "Custom milies" show up in the smilie popup.
And I have a question, too. Is it possible, that if someone clicks on the "Custom" link, that only his own smilies appear in the popup?
Thanks 4 help!

[rex_b]

nice hack, thanks

[hotwheels]

very nice job.........works perfectly.

Like suggested earlier, if you have alot of smilies, put $usmiliebits above $smiliebits that way it will be the first list your user's see......

[Jafo232]

Seems to be something wrong. I have translated the phrases into german, but still the english phrase "Custom milies" show up in the smilie popup.

Fixed this in the latest version (1.02). You should download the patch file for 1.02 and follow the directions in the file.

[Jafo232]

Minor Update:

Adjusted template edit in readme to put the $usmiliebits above OR below $smiliebits.

[Jafo232]

Another edit: Removed this out of BETA. Has been extensively tested on three forums that I administer.

Happy smiling!

[Silver_Seagull]

I have a question about the file permissions and security.

Would CHMOD 766 [Owner: r/w/e, Group: r/w, Public: r/w] be good enough to use? I don't want an exploit-area open on the server [execute a malicious script, for example]

[akanevsky]

Useful mod, will probably install, but few suggestions:
1. Would you please format your code to make it more readable?
2. First bit should have a value of 1, not 2.

[Cybertims]

Why does it show your uploaded smilie in two columns in the smilie popup, and only the left one is clickable?

Each smilie I upload is shown twice in the popup window...anyone else getting this?

Cheers.

[sinaluna]

I get this also, though both of mine are clickable. The official screen shots show it as well.

[sinaluna]

OK, I think I have it figured. In the User Smilies Popup Hook replace the code with this:


$pics = unserialize($vbulletin->userinfo['usmilies']);
if (!empty($pics)) {

$usmiliebits = "<tr valign=\"top\"><td class=\"tcat\" colspan=4>$vbphrase[usmilies_custom_smilies]</td></tr>";

$num = 0;
foreach ($pics as $key => $value) {

$num++;

if (($num % 2) == 1) {
$usmiliebits .= "<tr valign=\"top\">";
}

$usmiliebits .= "<td class=\"alt1\"><img src=\"" . $vbulletin->options[bburl] . "/user_pics/$value\" id=\"" . $vbulletin->options[bburl] . "/user_pics/$value\" alt=\"\" title=\"$key\" /></td><td class=\"alt1\">$key</td>";

if (($num % 2) == 0) {
$usmiliebits .= "</tr>";
}

}
if (($num % 2) == 1) {
$usmiliebits .= "<td class=\"alt1\">&nbsp;</td><td class=\"alt1\">&nbsp;</td></tr>";
}

}

[Cybertims]

OK, I think I have it figured. In the User Smilies Popup Hook replace the code with this:


That sorted it......well done !!

If it works for you, sure, no problem. My server requires it to be 777 due to an ownership setting.

Finally I found this thread again.

Installing this mod didn't work out for me, and after uninstalling I now have the following problem in the user group permissions:

There is an extra row without description that only allows to choose yes/no. The user permissions can no longer be saved. When I try to do this I get

You need to remove the bitfield_user_smiley.xml file from the /includes/xml directory as you would with most mods that modify user groups. :)

sorry to have disturbed you. I wonder if your teachers used this same attitude with you when you didn't fully understand something... Yes I found this, but nothing is showing up in the usergroups to click yes or modify to allow any specific usergroup access to this hack.


I do think this is a pretty cool hack. But the snide sarcasism is really not needed. Most of these hacks are put into simplified laymens terms to where it's not assumed that we know everything that you do or where. again.. sorry to bug you with what seems to be such trivial matters.
Yea.. I know just uninstall right?

Like the other guy VaaKo, when all that had to be said if others like a particular smilie that someone else posted. They could just download it and then upload to their group. Problem solved

First of all, why would you install any modification if you do not even understand what or where the plugin/product system is? That is just baffling.

Second, did you UPLOAD the files as per the readme?

Upload all the files and folders in the upload folder.

Or must I spell this out too? OK:

Unzip the zip file I gave you with a program called winzip. This program can be found at: http://www.winzip.com/. Just use your mouse with your favorite hand and click the underlined characters to the left.

(If you are unfamiliar on how to use a mouse, TYPE this in your browse address bar: http://www.lawrencegoetz.com/programs/mousepractice/ )

From there, click the download link and follow their directions to download and install winzip.

Once you find the folder where you unzipped the zip file, go to the upload folder, in otherwords OPEN THE upload folder. ALL OF THESE contents you must upload to the same folder where your Vbulletins index.php file is. That INCLUDES the folders, AND the files. This does NOT include the folder upload. You upload FROM the upload folder.

Magically, when you go to edit usergroups, it will rebuild the bitfields! Yay :banana: !!!

Now if you need any further assistance, please, contact me, I enjoy explaining the trivial.

TTFN, I must get back to this pile of code I write for free to further benefit the Vbulletin community who in general are at least thankful for it.....

[basskiller]

your an ass and your last post just proves it ...... winzip and mouse..Lmao what are you about 13? BTW with all those bullcrap instructions, Why not offer your expertise on FTP uploads like most use???

and this isn't my first hack, it's just your lame ass instructions. While most coders might understand exactly where your coming from, others may not.. hence the breakdown I'm experiancing with your instructions.

I've seen hacks where the folders to be uploaded go into the root folder, some in other specific folders..Your just sez to upload it?? Ok...

do I know how the workings of every hack.. hell no that's why were's here. If I could write these I would need arrogant ass like yourself, you and you alone.

Your instructions are not that clear. atleast not as clear any all the other excellent coders on this site.

They spell instructions out to us knowing full well that we are not as well versed as they.


BTW I am thankful to all the coders that actually do help and not attempt to degrade people because they know how to do something others don't.
That shows me how excellent these guys are and how small you are.
It's quite sad to see such an intelligent mind have such a lame ass attitude.

But thanks for the hack. for that I'm very grateful for it, for the help.. no so

The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men.

Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness. For he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children.

And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you.

[Silver_Seagull]

Hey there, I tried uninstalling this product after a problem with user's pictures being referred to the old domain adter a DNS change. However the product is gone from the list, but apparently the DB changes remain- and I can't seem to reinstall or 'upgrade' the product due to them.

Is there a manual uninstall method I can use? [aside from the FTP stuff- I've taken out the .php and bitfield XML files as well as the pics folder]

Thanks.

[Jafo232]

You will have to manually delete the usmilie_permissions column from your usergroup table.

[sinaluna]

Is there any way to base the Settings on User Group?

Thanks!

[Jafo232]

Of course, it is built in. You can select what usergroups can have custom smilies.

[sinaluna]

Sorry, I didn't explain myself well.

I would like different usergroups to have different settings. For example, Mods might be able to upload 20 smilies while Registered users could only upload 10.

[sinaluna]

Hey Jafo,

There is a problem in the product XML file. The usmilies_invalid_smiley_name and usmilies_smiley_limit phrases are not getting created. There are extra characters in the CDATA lines, causing their data being stuffed into the usmilies_deleted phrase.

Ill try to figure out a way to patch existing installs, so we dont have to uninstall and re-install a fixed XML file. If I figure it out, Ill post here.

[precharge]

Can I suggest a few things?

Make it so rather than liking directly to the image on a post, link to a script that checks if the smilie is active, and checks it on load, so that if someone deletes a smilie, you don't have broken images.

Good idea on the script ;)

[AcidX]

Hi there, can anyone assist me?

After Installing the product I'm trying to set the usergroup permissions, but after Saving I keep getting this error:

"Warning: mysql_real_escape_string() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given in /includes/class_core.php on line 639"

Ofcourse, the custom user smilies settings are not saved.
What seems to be the problem? Has anyone got an idea?

I'm using vBulletin 3.5.0. Does it have to do something with the version?

Hi there is an issue here, if people do not name their custom smileys it still uploads, but the user cannot see it nor use it and i cannot delete it once its up.

Can you in anyway make the custom smiley name mandatory? So the smiley will not upload without the user naming it?

Thanks!

OK, I think I have it figured. In the User Smilies Popup Hook replace the code with this:
Hello,

I applied your fix but it seems only working with the advanced editor, not with the standard... actually, in the pop-up the custom smileys are shown very well but when you click on them, nothing appears in the text box... however if you use advanced mode, when you click on the smileys, they are correctly inserted in the text editor...

Is there a way to fix that ?

Thanks you very much :)

I had to uninstall the script over all the bugs but ever since I did, I can't alter the user groups at all, keep getting

[tandy]

I installed following the readme file, nothing seem to work.
I uninstalled and there came my problems.

Usergroup database errors, vbpager database errors, even the activation window in admincp still there without text, just the 2 buttons, yes or no.

What do we have to do to make a clean uninstall of that thing and why do you put that on your uninstall code.

I have installed everything but its not showing the user smilie permission option in usergroups. :confused:

I can see that it installed, and I was able to go into the options and edit the size and amount of smilies. Why is it not showing up in usergroups? :confused:
