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

Hi,

I have the following error after I installed mysmilies:

when i upload an image and attach it in an posting with the [attach] code the image is shown twice in the posting. 1 in the posting where the [attach] is, and 2 in the frame for the attachment. after i deactivated mysmilies it didn't happen anymore. How can this be ?
the forum is 3.6.3

I didn't test it in 3.6.3, although it shouldn't have a problem. Does your mysmilies keyword collides with anything in the word [attach] ?

Supported or not ?

[Kentaurus]

I'm sorry. After a lot of debugging I was unable to fix the error that you are getting. I can't possibly support all forum, hack and style combinations, I can only support an installation on a clean vb, and I am willing to help people fix mixed problems that could happen when something between modifications collides.

My members wanted this enabled for signatures so I added 2 new plugins with this code:

PHP Code:

        $GLOBALS['mysmiliesvb_userid'] = $vbulletin->userinfo['userid']; 


at the following hook locations:

• profile_updatesignature_start
• member_start

Not sure if this is the best way of doing it but it works.

Also Hugh created vBlogetin support for this hack. You can download the addon product here.

How many queries does this add to showthread.php?

1 for getting the smilies every time bbcode_parse is called the first time. Since the post makes its way to the cache, no queries are added to showthread.

No it does not

But all is not lost as I have back-ported to v3.5.x and have released it here as MySmilies VB for v3.5.x

Kentaurus, could you possibly help me out and advise how I could get MySmilies working with amy's userpage mod?
