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

This is/was a great mod - in fact absolutly fantastic BUT it seems support has stopped

I am getting the same problem as a guy on page 7. I am using 3.6.7 and when I create a post with an attachment and place the attachment in the post the attachment comes up both in the post as it should but also in the attachment box of the post as in this screen shot:

Attachment 68785

Any help is greatly appreciated!

ok, it's a newbie questions, but I guess I'm still a newbie.

What does this mean: 2. (linux) chmod the folder to 777, the hack will not work without this

and how do I do it?

[Kentaurus]

If you have shell access, that means typing the command:

# chmod 777 mysmilies

If you don't, maybe you upload your files with an ftp client. Right click the "mysmilies" folder, look for an option that looks like "permissions", and either "write 0777 if you can give a number" or.... give "read, write, and execute" permissions. Depends on your client.

execute is actually directory listing, the image files itself are not executable.

Member is having a problem where they want to add a animated .gif and when they upload it the image is not animated anymore. What could be causing this? It's size is under the limits and he does have permission.
