Thx for responding.
But where do i reset the Usergroup bitfield :D ?

I did try to go into phpmyadmin and set it to 0, and then log into User Group manager.. . . but it dident go back to 1 again hmm.
I then deleted the 0 in phpmyadmin, but i was not allowed to save, cause you cant have a blank field there :/

Errm, where in the Usergroup Options should that Favorite Smilies settings bee? I cant find it anywhere there, must bee me that is blind or sum hmm.

In the vB Admin CP, look towards the middle half of the left column and there you'll see a "Usergroups" option. Click on Usergroup Manager and select any Usergroup (I chose Aministrator). Click the "Go" button and that alone will update the bitfield. From there you can also choose to allow or disallow favorite smilies for that Usergroup.

After that you should be able to see the links in the UserCP. :)

Hmm nothing happens, there is no where to manage the Smilies hmm.

Assuming that you did the necessary template edits and the product XML upload I'm not sure why the link is not showing up for you. Hmm.

We have a ton of smilies so this is heaven for us. Installed without error (I think) and it has the pull down menu to choose your favorite smilie. When I click on the pulldown....it doesn't allow you to just click on the smilie to use it. It just shows the picture and the name of it (one to a row) Am I doing something wrong? Thanks :)

Hi! Thank you for your mod, it works fabulous on my forum.

However I was wondering if there was any way to get it compatible with this mod https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=132443 ? It shows a list of smileys on the Quick Reply, and when I install the Favorite Smilies mod I don't see anything ;/

Could someone please help me - I have looked and looked but have no idea where to find this file in my adminCP:

I've looked in templates, done phrase searches, etc. Just feeling clueless...lol...thansk for any help! :o

It's not in your Admin CP. It's one of the files included in the zip file you downloaded from this thread. Locate the file, edit it as instructed using a plain text editor, and then upload the edited version to your server.

Thanks so much for your help! I finally got everything done - a bit intimidating for a newbie - and installed! Everything is working fine except the fave smilies (or anything indicating fave smilies) are not showing up, only the regular smiliebox. We have the "fave smilies" options and can make/save selections, but then nothing changes in the smiliebox or anywhere when a post is made. I have double checked all permissions, usergroups and board settings.

One thing that was unclear to me, was where to upload the includes/functions_editor.php file after making changes in Notepad. The file wasn't visible (no PHP files) in the unzipped folder, but I was able to find it by doing a search on my hard drive. I modified and saved the file back in the XML and HTML docs, then uploaded them to my server in the public_html section. I suspect I went wrong somewhere during that process? Any help would be greatly appreciated! :)

I should be uploaded to the {forum root}/includes/ folder.

work in 3.6.8 ???????

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2007/10/34.jpg

Working beautifully now! (3.6.8) Thanks so much for your guidance! :D

installed. works perfectly and beatifuly. makes me wanna add lots of kewl smilies.

only downside...

worst installation i've ever been through. i had to do everything MANUALLY. what's up with that? i was surprised i didnt' have to make the xml product file myself. -_- would love it if all that junk was automated especially since i got like 10 styles i have to edit. O_o

thanks though.

lol....yeah, that! :o I'm making it a feature for paid subscribers only, since I had to work so hard on it. ;)

wow just installed this and all of a sudden my users started gettin this error:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_VA IABLE in /home/content/b/i/g/bigsac/html/includes/ nctions_editor.php on line 601

i went in with notepad++ and it turns out i ++++in forgot a semi-colon.. a ++++in ';' !!! lol. anyways, put it in and fixed it rite up! thanks for the killer hack Darwinist

Mystic10, check your user permissions and make sure you have the "allow favorite smilies" checked. :)

Can anyone help? One of my users cannot click on any smileys ever since I gave her the fave smiley feature. All permissions have been double checked. This is the second member this happened to. I was never able to figure out what happened the first time and thought it just a fluke... recreated the members account but I don't want to do that again and this member has a posting history as well. :( Any suggestions would be VERY appreciated! xoxo

I figured it out...she belonged to additional usergroups who did not have permission for fave smilies. She could see them but not use them, or any smiley features at all. Interesting. I removed her from the other usergroups and problem solved. :) Hope this might help someone else.

Also, I wanted to make a donation to the developer, but don't see any links to do so?

so is this not worth installing - does it need more than the author has given in the 1st thread to make it work on 3.6.8 ?

The current version works just fine on 3.6.8.

That's very kind of you... I've added a link. :)

As mentioned, it works fine in 3.6.8... I've updated the page to reflect so.

you might want to check out the template modification hack here for this and your other mods. it makes this kind of stuff a breeze.

update: that only works for the template edit part. sorry. :o

That's odd...this isn't working for me now that I updated to the latest version of vBulletin. The favorite smiles are not saving.

redo the edits in the functions_editor.php - the latest patch replaced that file

Hmmm... same thing herte. I just checked after seeing your post.

This has been working fine for me until I upgraded to 3.68 Patch 2 this morning. It worked fine with Patch 1.

I tried editing and resaving the favorites. Then I tried re-importing the product using overwrite. Nothing.

Any ideas?

redo the edits in the functions_editor.php - the latest patch replaced that file

D'oh! Of course. :o

Also, I was posting from the previous page and missed your reply to the previous poster... :o

I re-did the edits and all is well, thanks!

I am also having the issue where I can't see "Edit Favorite Smilies" in the User CP. I have checked permissions for all the groups in the database and they are set properly (and I obviously had to click into the Usergroups to set it). The hack is turned on in the vb options.

For kicks and grins I tried doing some edits to my USERCP_SHELL where the code is to display this - nothing happens no matter what I do! I even edit the text for one of the other options - it's not reflected on my page! Is there something that is overriding this template? If so, what?!

ETA: For now I just put a link to edit them in the UserCP menu in the top menubar.

Are you sure you're editing the correct style?

There is a problem if you have more then 500 smilies should be shown for choice if your using the IE. The screen collabs. But it works fine with Firefox

vbulletin 3.6.8. pl2

Thanks it worked the first a time. Ya know I get kinda upset at myself ;) I can do this stuff, do the whole vbulletin software, config.file, etc but can not do the vbadavance crap. I am afraid to attempt that again last time I lost all my forums LOL

installed with ease, wonderfull mod , thx for this nice contribution ;)

Edit: look at my post below. The favorite smilie image is not showing up for some reason?




https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachmen...3&d=1195612498

2 questions:

1. Why doesn't the image show up for my dark style and
2. How can I just have a link there saying "Edit Favorite Smiles" instead of the image?

hi, is it working for 3.6.8 Level Patch 2 - fresh installed.

reading the last few comments, made me worried a bit.

sincere apology, as i am a newbie in the neighbourhood. :)

Yes. Follow the instructions and it works fine with 3.6.8 PL2.

If you had it installed BEFORE upgrading to PL2, you'll need to redo the edits to /includes/functions_editor.php.

Hmmmm...I did this but the feature is still not working right after the upgrade to PL2.
