Smilies gone

[dazzled]

Hi, I hope someone can help.

I recently bought a VB license and integrated a phpbb forum into vb. Ever since the integration, myself (admin) mods, and regular users can't use/see/access smilies or any bb code. My one admin that helped me install everything showed me a screenshot, and he has smilies in the posting area, but myself and others do not.. I've tried everything I can think of permissions wise to make these elements show to no luck. What can I do? TYIA

Do you mean imported? (If so did you use the impex script?)

Can you see them being used inside of his posts? Make sure you have enable the WYSIWYG editor in your UserCP

Hi.. thanks for the quick response. I don't mean imported, I mean, none of them imported over well and I know that. I've uploaded new ones via the smiley manager in the ACP. I mean, when you go to to post a thread, all I see is this :

No option for smilies to be used. Previously some have showed up in threads, but its kind a hit and miss. I am just wondering if this is an issue that is stemming from when everything was imported over or?? I notice another VB board I am helping on is having the same issue and they as well merged from phpbb software.

Well now I feel like a doofus :P Thank you so much for showing me that. Now, question, I am assuming that the basic or standard or whatnot option is the default for everyone, since they couldn't see the smilies either. Now, can I go into the ACP and switch the default for that, or do users have to do that by themselves?

AdminCP > Execute SQL Query > Automatic Query > Select "Show Enhanced (WYSIWYG) Editor Toolbar"

If you get a permissions error do the following:

In the vB3 Admin CP:

To run a single query you first need to give yourself permission to run queries in the Admin CP. To do this, edit this section of config.php:

    //    ****** USERS WITH QUERY RUNNING PERMISSIONS ******
    //    The users specified here will be allowed to run queries from the control panel.
    //    See the above entries for more information on the format.
    //    Please note that the ability to run queries is quite powerful. You may wish
    //    to remove all user IDs from this list for security reasons.
$config['SpecialUsers']['canrunqueries'] = '';

...with x being your userid number. Then try again.

Also check:

AdminCP > vBulletin Options > vBulletin Options > Message Posting Interface Options > Enable Clickable Message Formatting Controls > Set to "Enable Standard & WYSIWYG Controls" for all 3

AdminCP > vBulletin Options > vBulletin Options > User Registration Options > Default Registration Options > Message Editor Interface > Show Enhanced (WYSIWYG) Editor Toolbar

(You can also use the "Standard Toolbar" however that doesn't give WYSIWYG capabilities)
