e-steki Smilie Maker 1.7

This modification allows you to create personalized smilies by choosing eyes, mouth and face. The smilie set that was used for the graphics is one of the most popular and beautiful ones (see screenshots). It is possible to create up to 18000 different smilies for this so hours of fun are guaranteed! Additionaly, it includes plugins for custom WOL location, so that they don't show up as unknown and a handy bbcode (bbcode example: [smilie=1,2,3]) to put those smilies in posts. There is a field in the smilie maker which displays the bbcode that should be used so that the user can copy it from there. Every action is made via javascript so that the page does not reload. It is fully phrased so translations are now a piece of cake!

DEMO: http://www.e-steki.com/forum/smmaker.php (Note that the demo is in greek. However as there is not much text in this hack, you'll probably find your way )

Important:You need GD enabled in your server to use this (and almost all image-creating-on-the-fly mods so you better tell them to enable it if they haven't already ) Also this doesn't work in some forums that have the hack for transparent pngs in IE.

Installation
-1 product file which adds 5 plugins, 1 template, 4 AdminCP settings and 15 phrases.
-2 php file uploads
-1 folder with images upload
-1 small template edit
Detailed instructions are included in the accompanying zip file.

Please be kind and click INSTALL if you have installed this mod. I *can* see this you know!

I hope you enjoy this mod as much as I enjoyed making it

Changelog:
Version 1.7
-Made the tables for the eyes, mouth and face collapsible
-Added 15 more eyes, 15 more mouths and 2 more faces
-Added text to show till a smilie is made so that the user doesn't think that nothing is happening. The text disappears after the creation of the smilie.
-Fixed the bug with the preview of the BBcode.

Version 1.6
-Added AdminCP option to hide the creation buttons to guests and show a message instead
-Added AdminCP option to hide the bbcode editbox so that forums with a lot of traffic don't get a big server load from many dynamic smilies. (to completely disable the functionality though you have to disable one plugin and not perform the suggested template edit)

Version 1.5
-Added Random Smilie button
-Added bbcode like [smilie=1,2,3] to use custom smilies in posts. Beware that this may be server-intensive in big forums.
-Editbox that displays the bbcode that should be copied, which also changes with javascript instantly.
-Fully phrased now
-Template and phrase addition is done with the attached product
-Link in the smilie popup to the smilie maker
-Custom WOL locations
-A lot shorter image URL

As english is not my native language I may have done some grammar mistakes. I would really appreciate it of you reported them in this thread

Thanks to KW802's mod for inspiring me on how to use the javascript.

Thanks, don't speak Greek, so couldn't see.

I should remember it, but the insane amount of templates VB uses gets you confused sometimes.

[Lea Verou]

You should change the editor_smiliebox template.
Here's mine:

<if condition="$show['smiliebox']">
<fieldset id="{$editorid}_smiliebox" title="$vbphrase[smilies]">
	<legend>$vbphrase[smilies]</legend>
	<table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0" border="0" align="center">
	$smiliebits
	<if condition="$show['moresmilieslink']">
	<tr>
		<td class="smallfont" colspan="$vboptions[smcolumns]">[<a href="#" onclick="vB_Editor['$editorid'].open_smilie_window(smiliewindow_x, smiliewindow_y); return false" title="<phrase 1="$vboptions[smtotal]" 2="$totalsmilies">$vbphrase[showing_x_smilies_of_y_total]</phrase>">$vbphrase[more]</a>]</td>
	</tr>
<div class="smallfont"><a href="$vboptions[bburl]/smmaker.php" target="_blank">$vbphrase[smmaker_smiliepopup]</a></div>
	</if>
	</table>
</fieldset>
<else />
<div id="smiliebox" style="display:none"></div>
</if>

Thanks, works fine.

Has anyone got the same smilie pack/faces for boards using dark skins?

I've attached my face pack which you can use jacob. Pick the ones you want. Remember, if you end up wanting to use more than what's normally in the hack, you'll have to modify the template to include the higher numbers. I had to do that plenty of times.

One note: My image size is different from the normal hack's size, optimised for the rest of my images, so you'll most likely need to adjust your other face parts to fit on these properly.

thx a lot

Actually, I noticed something with this, and had to switch it off because of it. It doesn't reconize permissions and usergroups. Even though I am a admin, when I go to the page, it shows me as a guest (register username/password shows up)

A member logged in using that, and totally buggered up his status for the rest of the board, he had to log out and relog back in. Any ideas on how to fix this?

Why would you do that?
