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

No, because if, for example I use :santaclaus: with an image, an another user uses the same keyword or replacement text :santaclaus: with another image then...

when I write :santaclaus: in a post, it will be replaced with my image
when the other user writes :santaclaus: in his post, it will be replaced with his image
when any other user writes :santaclaus: in a post... it will be ignored because he doesn't have a smilie for that And the literal text, :santaclaus: will be displayed

A single user cannot have two images for the same replacement text, tough, and that do error out

NM I just noticed it renames the image so there cannot be any sort of conflict.

Its not working, I've uploaded a smilie and tried using it in the shoutbox (vbshout) but it didn't work!

[Lionel]

it works but i get a javascript error in showthread, expecting string, identifier or number

[bollie]

If I want post, am possible I nothing more uses.

[NuclioN]

Works fine but the :smiley: codes are not working in the vbshoutbox. How to do that?

[Calash]

Very very cool, thank you for posting this.

I noticed that if you preview a post it does not show the MySmilies, but once you submit the thread it takes care of it. Not a big issue IMHO but it is a bit of a glitch.

Works great! Thank you!
