Updated again, added 2 admincp settings (see changelog) :)

Is there already an option for what usergroups can use this? ;)

Nope but why would you restrict any usergroup apart from guests to seiing this?
There is that setting for guests which I think is better than completely restricting them to view the page, banned users can't see the forum so they can't view this either...
So what's the use of having usergroup permissions? :)

every thing goes right exept 3 issues
1- i didn't see any admincp options
2- during & after page loading the internet explorer status bar gives an error
3- look to the contact us link in "If you have any problems or questions do no hesitate to contact us" you will see it as "http://domain.com/forum/$vboptions[contactuslink]"

see the attachement .

They are in your vBulletin settings, search that big list and you'll find them :)

It shows correct for me... Can you click on it and paste the errors?

You are right, I should fix that :nervous:

Fixed :)
Just re-import the product XML. :)

please chek the product XML file & you didn't find any options to be added only the phrases

look
<options>
</options>

ths empty

& the status bar error appeare in the attached image

I don't find them either. In which category have you put the options?

Nice hack btw :)

It seems there is a problem : can't find any settings to configure.

Anyway here is the french translation for this new phrases 1.6 version.
Just an xml to import (only translation inserted).

oh no theyre not m8....ive just spent the last hour going thru em all...
methinks u made a boo boo

Damn, I guess you're right since no-one can find them :confused:
I'll look into it in a bit, I just came home after maaaany days away :)

hm.. can u actualy use these smilies when posting messages?

Of course, that's what the bbcode feature is for :)
Just note that it's not a good idea if your forum is huge to use them in posts :)

that is so coooooooooool!

Fixed ;)
Just overwrite the product xml.

Can you suggest (not very complex please) settings you would like to see in the AdminCP?

Hi just installed it, its working but a few things:

1 - If i click to preview a post before posting, the smilie code is not translated
2 - By default your creator loads in the same window as the smilie manager (which is a small javascript popup) - I had to add a target="_blank" to the create link
3 - and how big is a forum which shouldn't use this due to server load?
4 - oh yeah, and the modules folder doesn't exist so it needs to be created (this is unclear in the instructions)

cheers!

ben

Thanks for installing, I hope your users like it :)

1. This is because the plugin for the bbcode is in a postbit hook locations so it parses the bbcode only when it's posted. Thanks for pointing it out, will be fixed in the next version :)
2. Also a correct point. There is also the solution of making the smilie popup initially bigger but it's a messy solution. I'll add the target="_blank" in the readme of the next version. Thanks again :)
3. I don't know exactly. My forum has about 650 members and it seems very ok. I guess you'll know you're big enough when you notice a performance slowdown. It also depends on how many users are using it. :)
4. It existed in my test forum which had almost no hacks so I thought it would exist in others too. I'll put a notice in the next version's readme :)

Working great now ! Thank you.

Well its only been on a little while and already everyone is so happy :D hehe....

I had one more question, if in the future it does slow down too much, so i remove it - will the posts be littered with [smilie] links, or will they stay hidden?

Oh and would it be possible to remove the page from the modules folder, I don't like creating folders unless necessary?

But I love it, thanks a lot :D

Oh if you remove the page from the modules directory you have to change the URL in the template (in a javascript function). I don't remember the url of that php file being used anywhere else but my memory isn't very good :p
It was originally created only or vbadvanced users and this is why there is that strange "modules" thing still there. I was too lazy to change it :p Maybe I will put it in the images folder in the next version :)
About the bbode, that a nice question! I'll test it in my test forum and see what happens if I disable the plugin and I'll try to include something better about that in the next version.
Thanks a lot for your comments, they are really useful! :)

TODO: (so that I don't forget)
-option to close the smilie maker to everyone but admins and/or mods for maintenance. :)

3 people uninstalled the past 2 days. Can't you at least tell me what's wrong? :(

I'm still installed... Not having any problems here ;-)

Can I suggest a few things for future versions?
- More smilie graphics, i.e. eyes, mouth, face. How about hands / items?
- Have you seen the application that allows you to customise the text on a sign that the smilie is holding? If these two could come together then it would most definitely be the ultimate smilie maker out there.

-Don't you think it would get stuffed if I put more images there? It's way too big already...
Anyway those eyes/mouths are stripped from the original smilies of that set that I could find so I don't have any more to strip their eyes and mouth from :nervous:
-KW802 said in above posts that he will combine those two. I believe though that if it was like that it would become more specific and users would be able to use them on special occasions (a smilie holding a sign doesn't fit anywhere, right? ;) ). Also, there would always be those "smartass" users that would post their whole post in a smilie and put the smilie instead of text cause they will think it's "cool" therefore causing serverload.
-I had also thought of hands/items and it's a good idea. However I'll have to save all the images again at a larger size and find enough items to add. It would be no use if we only had like 3 items, would it? ;) And I don't want to put ugly stuff from other smilie sets as items, I'm quite picky with looks :p

where's forum/modules , cant see that folder on my server ??

Does this use much bandwidth ??

If you read the whole thread then you wouldn't have that question. Just create the folder.

About bandwidth, I guess it's the same as a normal png 8-bit smilie of that size. When I say "server load" I am not referring to bandwidth but to CPU usage.

Anyway, if you install it, please click the appropriate button ;)

Are you taking suggestions? How about a way to upload more custom images and add them to the default set via the AdminCP?

Installed by the way, brilliant modification I love it, very popular with my users. Only bit that confused me was adding to modules folder, might be worth saying you have to create it if it doesn't exist for stupid users like me :D

Yes I am taking suggestions but I can't make them all, even if they are nice ideas. I am not a php guru! :)
How do you imagine your suggestion working? I didn't fully understand what you suggested. :o
Since you like that modification that much, please click install!
I have said before that in the next version I'll update the readme or even move the file to the images of smilies folder if that won't affect the existing ones in the board (which I don't think it will as they are created each time they are viewed).
However I'm currently working on another hack so I don't think the update will be very soon. That's not certain however. It could be out in a day. It depends on if I feel like coding the new hack or the update of this at a time. :nervous:

Well you have some default smilie parts that come with the package, but what if you want to add some faces or eyes of your own? I was thinking of an easy way to do so, like via the AdminCP for instance. Your upload your smilie part, and then it is added to the list of parts you can use in the Smilie Customiser.

It was just something that came to mind, that's all. It's one of my favourite mods just as it is :)

Then click that button!
I can't understand some of you people. We offer our work for free and all we ask is just a click in that INSTALL button. It doesn't cost you anything but yet you don't do it.
I just can't understand how the mind of some people works... :(

Got it working, magic, great work michelle

/me clicks install

Thank you! :)

"Thanks man" ;)

GRRRRRRRRRRRR!!

lol :p

Followed instructions, installed, but I too have the Red X. GD is installed, VBA Gallery uses it, PHP Version 4.3.10

www.beginnerbikers.org

Go to http://www.beginnerbikers.org/module...eyes=1&mouth=1 and see the errors:
Obviously, you need to contact your host about this since he is the one who has disabled something that the script needs ;)

Bah! Ok, thanks... I never thought to actually click on the URL ;) I'll see what yonder host says...

verry nice hack ;)
thank's

credit where its due :)

do you have any plans to include animated graphics at all in the future?

such as like this https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2005/11/1.gif
