Phew, at last thanks

Anyway, 2 things

What does the .css in the zip do?

I'm using vbadvanced gallery ... the smileys don't show up in the qr box on that. (the link does but there is nothing in it)

It is used for HTML manual, don't pay attention to it.

I am not using the gallery, so I can't help you with that. I would assume that in one of the files you need to perform a replacement identical to the one for ./forum/includes/functions_editor.php

Did it in under three minutes and works like a charm.

A god you are!

*clicked install*

I think it's because the gallery isn't stored under the forum root but next to it

ie

html_docs/forum
html_docs/gallery

So I might just need to find the file that works the smiley popup in the forum root and copy it to the gallery root (maybe, maybe not. I'm no coder)

Thanks, I was looking for this.

For some reason after install, the templates aren't getting cached, this has added 5 extra queries to every thread :
Uncached templates: editor_smilie (15)
Uncached templates: editor_smiliebox (1)
Uncached templates: editor_smiliebox_row (5)
Uncached templates: newpost_disablesmiliesoption (1)

how can I resolve this? Thanks :)

thank you.

I'll see if I can fix this.

I get this also, i think its because they have not been included in the global.php file.

Any update on a fix? I had to uninstall because of the extra load it was putting on my server.

Patience, son! Will be fixed as soon as I have some spare time. ;)

Great news buddy. :)

Updated. Cache is now being utilitized.
To upgrade, just upload the new plugin XML (there was no plugins in prev. version).

sweet, thanks.

Bingo! Was waiting for this... thanks.

nice :D

editor_toolbar_start
:)

Chris

I am not sure that this code will not interefere with vbulletin functioning...
vbulletin doesn't just use "qr" for nothing. You may not know what other things are to be enabled when the editor is not "qr", at least not for future versions... But I'll look at your suggestion, thx. ;)

Hence why I had the code check if $smiliebox was empty ;)

Chris

I performed a thorough search through vbulletin files to see where $smiliebox gets defined, but I only found out that it gets defined in that function AFTER the hook... so I don't really get the idea :(

I think I have a better solution ;) Check back tomorrow, and if it comes out well, the hack will have no code mods.

Hmm ...

editor_toolbar_start
?

$editor_type doesn't seem to be needed after that Hook - except for the smilies check. So setting it to smth. else should bypass the if and not cause any side effects.

Yeh - You can remove the $smiliebox variable :p

Chris

Any screen shots involved here?? lol can some one please post me a screen shot on how it looks on properly before i download / install??

RELEASE v1.0.2

2. Install the new product via product manager.
3. Perform the second template modification for postbit_quickedit.
4. Undo the code edit from the previous version.

If you want screenshots, go to your vbulletin advanced editor and see what kind of dropdown it has there. That's exactly what you'll get in quick reply.

Are there any upgrade instructions?

Yes, sorry.

TO UPGRADE:

1. Uninstall the old plugin via plugin manager.
2. Install the new product via product manager.

Thanks ... what about the code edit? Should that be removed too or is that ok?

EDIT .... Ah you edited it ... I look like a plum now :o

Although it doesn't matter in this particular case, the answer is YES. You should undo the code edit.

Also, if you downloaded the archive before this post, download it again. A minor error in XML has been fixed. ;)

Okee dokee. All done :)

Is anyone else using this hack also using vbadvanced gallery?

If so I'm still having trouble trying to get the smileys to appear in the dropdown box when commenting on a picture. If anyone has a solution I would be a very grateful man

Definitely very cool! Thanks!

Thanks for the second update! :D

excelent product thank you very much

Yay! Finally... I've been waiting forever for someone to do this. HOTM!

am installing for sure - cheers

How could this be amended to show a random selection of, say, 15 smilies, rather than just the first 15?

I realise that might involve a code edit but I don't care. :D

Would it just be a matter of amending the same code that generates the smilies in the main message window, which would be fine as I want those random too?

Yes, it is the same code.

It doesnt seem to work with v3.50 RC3 :(
