Nice mod, Darwinist.

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

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 ;/

INSTALLATION
STEP 1: Open file includes/functions_editor.php

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.
