- At this moment I suggest uninstalling the old version and installing this new version.
REMEMBER this will delete all user moods, if you want old moods to be kept, please request and I'll post a how to.

FAQ
_ _

- How can I keep the old moods?

1) disable the old mood manager, install the new mood manager

2) run these queries

ALTER TABLE 'user' DROP 'vmood';

ALTER TABLE 'user' CHANGE 'mood' 'vmood' varchar(100) NOT NULL DEFAULT 'none';

- How can I change the location of the mood in the postbit?

disable the auto edit in the Admin CP, now you will have access to

$vmood_postbit

place that anywhere you want in the postbit templates (well the location where you want the mood to show)

- How can I change the location of the moods dropdown menu navbar

disable the auto edit in the Admin CP, now you will have access to

$vmood_form

place that anywhere you want in the navbar template, you can try other templates but I can't say if it will work or not

- Why am I getting two mood images in the postbit, how can I stop this from happening?

In the admin cp, disable the auto edit

I would recommend using text only option for now if you have load problems.

The issue (In IE6/7 when using images in the dropdown menu) is to with the fact the user has to download 50+ mood images and has nothing to do with the javascript. Also this should only happen on the first page load, after which the mood images should be cached by the user browser.

With the latest version this is fixed, the images don't start loading until the page has loaded, was tested with another user who had a similar problem.

The other option (for further improvements) is to dynamicly load images in the dropdown menu e.g. detecting when the user is going down in the dropdown menu, which I might have a ago at doing sometime in the future.

I've started getting complaints from our users where page loads are anywhere from 45-55 seconds (dedicated server with 2gb of memory). I didn't take much notice to be fair because I never had a problem and just assumed it was on their end until I was changing another mod and opened IE to view the board as a normal user and WHOA was there a load!

So, after disabling every plugin I have one-by-one to try to find the culprit, all were the same until I turned off this mod and page load went back to normal.

So, long story short, is there any way we can get the .js file to work with IE better? Cacheing technique of some sort or a more user friendly version of JSmin?

Thanks and I look forward to re-enabling this plugin!

That's what I thought too but I'll be damned if it ain't cacheing!

I even added forced cache to .htaccess

<IfModule mod_expires.c>
ExpiresActive On
ExpiresDefault A300
ExpiresByType image/x-icon A2592000
ExpiresByType application/x-javascript A3600
ExpiresByType text/css A3600
ExpiresByType image/gif A604800
ExpiresByType image/png A604800
ExpiresByType image/jpeg A604800
ExpiresByType text/plain A300
ExpiresByType application/x-shockwave-flash A604800
ExpiresByType video/x-flv A604800
ExpiresByType application/pdf A604800
ExpiresByType text/html A300
</IfModule>

And the page loads are still high...

Will try txt version then! Thanks.

[edit to add]
Added this hack with these results in Firefox... IE7 is still near 60sec load times...

Oh well!

Any idea of how to get this to work? I tried all previous vBadvanced fixes listed in the 3.6 thread, but none of them work when using sitename.com (portal) and forums.sitename.com (forums) without producing the quoted error!

If you can offer any pointers, I'd be eternally grateful!

I'm not sure if this will help but I was also having a problem with CMPS and this fixed it for me.

In the vmoods.js file find this line...

YAHOO.util.Connect.asyncRequest("POST", "ajax.php?do=vmoods_update&securitytoken=" + SECURITYTOKEN + "&vmood=" + target.title, {

On this line add the full path to ajax.php ex: http://www.yoursite.com/forum/ajax.php

Hope this helps

Is there way to change the location of the mood on the profile page?

Hey thanks for the heads up...

Unfortunately, this did not work for me.. The stock hack works fine with a subdomain setup on AlienSoup.com, but refuses to on WTF.com which is really throwing me for a loop!
