More of a suggestion than anything else here. I noticed that when you opt to using other custom mood images it's not very user friendly and I had to go into the xml and insert the dimensions of the new mood icons that I designed. As you can see I set the title "my mood" so that it sits flush with the bottom of the icon in the postbit and I'm still tinkering around and trying to set it so it is flush under the private messages the same way as in the postbit because it seemed using the larger icons looked strangely aligned when the larger icons are applied.


If you could also bold the text "my moods" so that it is more prominent would be great so that you don't have to go into the xml file and alter each time when an update comes out.

I guess my suggestion is to apply a more user friendly solution for people who want to use other custom icons with different dimensions without us going into the xml file and altering it to the new mood image dimensions. :)

Good work sniper and I hope to see these small grievances addressed. :up:

thanks

Shelley, can you share what you did for the alignment? I want to make my own images also...so all you need to do is edit the .xml file for the different sizes?

Edit the xml file and change the default dimensions to the appropriate sizes.

Find:

Change the dimensions to complement the new sizes and scroll down and change the sizes again to the following.

Edit: I forgot to mention and I've only had the time to set it in the postbit so if your icons are nearing 30 pixels in height you'll noticed that the text "my moods" sits in the middle. If you want it sitting flush with the icon you'll need to change the vertical align to Botton instead of Middle where it was originally set as. Bare in mind all your settings will be lost whenever there's an update and your best waiting to see if sniper addresses these issues.

Thank you :)

The 3.6 version doesn't work for my users on 3.7, they keep getting the security token error, even thought the interface 'looks' alright.
To install this one, though, I need the flexibility to install it wherever I want on postbit, so I'm waiting for more detailed instructions or comments on how to do this.

same here

I'll post an update later which allows you to set the image height / width and the alignment and option to place anywhere in postbit.

Thanks Sniper, this is one of my users' favorites hacks. :)

Is there a "no mood" option?

Thank you Sniper, great mod! :up:

Nevermind.

"no mood" option will be added soon, if anyone has loading issues please clear your cache to see if it helps else post the browser/version your using. I've tested on latest FF / IE6 and opera and have no issues.

It could be the javascript or html that's doing it. Maybe something with the coding thats affecting something else on the forum?! Whatever the case, when the old hack was installed this issue simply wasn't there. The minute I installed this, it's caused the page to delay loading. The only thing that loads first is the header. Everything else must now wait, then appears at the same time. I'm on high speed internet (10MB). That problem was not there prior to this being installed. And I can guarantee it (the problem) will disappear if the hack is uninstalled. As it didn't occur even when the old one was installed. No doubt, there is something with how this particular hack is handling something that's causing this. Clearing cache has been uneffective. As well, I toggle between IE ad FF's latest versions.

I don't want to sound to demanding or anything...but is there a way to show the moods in the vBadvanced CMS? if not, no big deal.

can you pm me admin access to debug?

sorry but nope maybe someone else can help with that.

I instaled it but its not working on mine..

For me, it only does it in Internet explorer 7, but not Firefox 2 (with fasterfox/adblock plus running)
I'm running on Vista 64 bit
Gonna try without the firefox addons, one sec

Disabling firefox addons and it worked ok, so for me at least, it seems to only happen in IE 7

I've installed it and I am having problems.

The link for the moods is now text and not an image:

My Mood: click here to change

And the drop down link is half full of images (up to In Love) then there is all text and nothing in the drop down is clickable...

Any thoughts/help!?

Fix your settings in the admincp. Namely path and such.

Had a user who uses Firefox, also report the slowness
Apparently it lagged her browser quite badly.

old version works good

I also have slow loading issues using IE7 and FF 2.0.0.14 after installing this.

Heh, spoke to soon eh? I was about to reply to your original post, which read...

***************
I have *no* speed or loading issues using IE7 or FF 2.0.0.14

:D

old version works fine for me too.

Just dont do the template edits and let it auto add them in the options.

Thanks, got it working - I had missed the .js in the transfer and also made both paths to the folders with my full website it in.

Hi Sniper,

This is what I was referring to:

Current Mood text placement
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2008/05/85.jpg

It would be good if the text could be centered in relation to the mood image, like this:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2008/05/86.jpg

Or even at the bottom of the image to accommodate for larger ones?

I also found that after I originally installed it, I had to add an extra break under the mood line because the image overlapped off onto the menu area - because I am using bigger mood images than the default ones. Thought it was worth a mention :D

Also the : is missing after the 'Mood' text in postbits. I tried to add it manually but this added 2 :: to the one in the navmenu lol. So I have left it as-is for now.

Cheers,

Nikki.

I did the same with the : and like you ended up with two of them in the navbar under the private messages,etc...

@Deimos yup...I spoke to soon! :D

its working fine, remembery to specify the path for vmoods js and the images in the admincp :p

You could pull that off with a table cell with valign="center" on it. The mood changer always did oddball things to my page load times when I had it in a high traffic place, so I ended up putting it in the User CP.

Care to share how you did that? :)

please.. as i am in same boat.

Would also need to have it in UserCP

works well except a few things

1) when no mood selected the message that says click here to change or what ever
that hangs out of the nav bar
2) page never fully loads in FF for sure idk about others
3) should be a choice to choose no mood
4) rather large gap between My Mood: and the actual drop menu

other then that nice job but i think i will stick to the old version seems to work alot better
ill check back on this one in a few weeks and see the progress

Thanks for this! I've always been using the Mood Manager for the 3.6.x series. Though recently, I've gone through this thread and noticed there are quite a few bugs that needs to be fixed so I'll just wait for a bug-free version of this hack.

I'm having an issue with the moods I've selected in the dropdown menu displaying different moods in the postbit in IE7. Just thought I'd bring this to your attention sniper just in case anyone else is experiencing this issue. They are displaying perfectly in FF.

Just a quick question...

Where do i install all of it to??
I know its gona sound like a stupid question.
but i have a total mind blank...

what is the main forum folder..
is that in ftp control panel??

I wanna re install this to my new VB site.. its a big hit..
but it didn work before
and wanted to try it again

It seems this mod at this point has issues with IE7. Be it the slight delay of the page loading...or the smileys alignment like posted above. Hopefully these issues get ironed out soon. :)
