Major Additions - MySmilies VB

Tested with vb 3.6.8

This hack puts the control of the smilies on the users. It lets any user (that you give permission to) upload or modify the smilies that he can use.

These are not the smilies that vb uses, these are user-customized smilies. The smilies that you already have in place are preserved and are still used. But users may upload their own smilies for their use, and they are kept separate from the forum smilies.

For users:

• Users can keep a library of smilies (they can upload them from their computer or web)
• Users enter their replacement text, for example, :iamhappy: would be changed for his user-happy smilie
• The custom smilies are parsed in any post, signature, or pm
• If they have enabled the WYSIWYG editor, smilies are shown there

For administrators:

• Usergroup control of who may upload custom smilies
• Usergroup control of the size (width, height, size in bytes) of the smilie
• Smilie quota, both for max number of smilies and max number of bytes or hard disk space
• The administrator can choose where to save the smilies (the directory, default: mysmiliesvb)

Installation instructions
See the included readme.txt

Info for hackers:
You may modify, improve, upgrade, redistribute this hack, include it
in another hack or yours or translate it provided you do it free of
charge and you distribute it in www.vbulletin.org at least, there is no
need to pm me asking for permission
Some portions of the code are (c) Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.

can you make that the smilies need to be approved when uploaded before using
so there are no extreme words on banners

I followed your instructions but did not see where the "index.html" goes that is in the "mysmiliesvb".

I think it goes in the "mysmiliesvb" directory your instruction asks us to create in our forum root right???

How is this different from the Favorite Smilies Hack?

I don't think members can upload their own smilies with that MOD. I think they can only choose their favorite ones of the board-specified smilies/smilies uploaded by the Administrator.

i've set admins/mods to be able to use custom smilies under myvb smilies in admincp, yet i cannot see it in usercp.

thanks.

Damn, I was just about to release my own finished v3.7.0 port of this (it was all packaged and ready to go).

Oh well, better this come officially from the creator than the likes of me

any news on a port to 3.7? I saw another hack based on this for 3.7 but since that one will only be supported until you come out with yours I would prefer to wait.
