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)

No, please use Mosh's, it's nicely done and has more features I'd rather help Mosh with the support than rewritting this

Installed: working with 3.6.10. I was looking for a convenient way for the staff to have some "staff-only" smilies and this is great.

[s]I think you are refering to my hack MySmilies VB (v3.7.0), which Rigel says is now the offical port to v3.7.0.[/s]

[s]Hey Rigel, thanks for the comments

I will be more than happy if you helped me provided support (most of the code is still yours, so you will know it better than myself), so, I have added you as CoAuthor to humble port of your great hack [/s]

I have completely lost the urge to continue working on my port of this hack (it was only ever meant to be an interim port of Kentaurus's hack, while we were waiting for him to release his official updated version), so as of now, my port of this hack has been discontinued - this means that while it will remain available for download and use, there will be no further updates, nor will support be provided as the thread is no longer monitored.

This modification is not compatible with this one:

I'm guessing only one or the other will work, because I've noticed both want to go in the same location under the Smilie icon of the editor and My Favorite Smilies aren't showing up, it just says my smilies, which is annoying because what if I want My Smilies to be some of the defaults?

Might be recommended to add that to the front page of your mod.
