smiliepanel.php - To copy in your root dir. vbcode.js.txt - A few lines to ADD at bottom of your vbcode.js blanksmile.gif - A "fake" smile to add in your /images/smilies dir adv_smilie_*.txt - The templates you have to create vbcode_smilies_getmore - The template as I have on my vbull.
3. How to install
a. Edit smiliepanel.php
Just after this comment
PHP Code:
<!-- Editable Code
Write down the name of the Folder and the link
as in this example:
and so on. If you have (probably you have ) more than 2 folders, just copy&paste the code from line 27 to line 62, as many times as the folders you have.
Then, look for the line
PHP Code:
<!-- Smilie Folder #1 -->
and read the instructions above. Just make sure to respect the syntax for the "<a href".
b. Add the lines of code you find in "vbcode.js.txt" at bottom of your vbcode.js
d. Replace your "vbcode_smilies_getmore" template with the one you find in the .ZIP file.
e. Now...this is the only way I found to do that, and the way it was useful for me, if one of you has something better, pls help
Upload the "blanksmile.gif" to your smilies directory. Then go to the admin panel, and add the smile, without giving it replacement text and text.
Then, move the "blank" smile to the last position.
I have 36 smilies installed on my board, and with the "blank" one they become 37.
Then I went to "vBulletin Options", and set "Clickable Smilies Total" to 36. (That means it has always to be your number of smiles, minus one).
f. Upload vbcode.js and smiliepanel.php
That's it.
Comments and suggestions are REALLY appreciated.

That would be cool... i would really like to keep this hack. I will be updating the vb3 probably later today or early tommorow.
I doubt it will still work because i get the impression that vb3 has a lot of changes in the code.
Hi Wayne... i had an absoloute nightmare upgrading to vb3, my forums were offline for several days. I finally got them back online but had to revert to a backup sql a couple days before the last one. I think you may have got caught in the timeline... so may have to sign up for my forums again - www.hostcompanies.com/forums .
I still got to do a bit of work ... upload some old graphics and fix some style problems but the forums are back up.
Id love to be able to get smilie panel working on vb3 and if your still interested in porting it over- i had a great idea.
How about... adding a graphic to the quick reply box and when someone clicks on it, it opens the smilie panel . That wouldn't be too hard to do. One thing i always notice is that its anoying you can't use smilies in the quick reply box but your smilie panel would be perfect for that.
