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.

I would like to make it available to only the group we call "AHFB Allstars", thus (hopefully) encouraging folks to be more helpful with others.

Supposing that the usergroupid is 10 you should find:

PHP Code:

require_once('./global.php'); 


Add under:

PHP Code:

if (!is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo, 10)) 
{ 
        print_no_permission(); 
}

thank you very much

Question.

I can get it to display here


http://www.monks-diner.com/forum/smmaker.php


but how do I get it to appear on the home page or in a post for all my members to see without redirecting to PHP

There is a bbcode that goes with it. However note that it only works in posts and pms.

[Danny Diamond]

I actually ended up adding it to my navbar.

e-steki_smilie_creator.php seems to work slow for me, is there any way to speed it up?

because I am on a fast server and only 2 users is using this function

[Lea Verou]

Yeah, make it to overlay the images via javascript and not actually combine them for the preview like in here http://users.freestuff.gr/skeftomilo...ley-maker1.htm (made by a greek friend of mine who knows javascript really good). When they use the bbcode the smilie will be created as normal. The drawback to this is that they wont be able to save the smilie via the smilie maker but only if they use it in a post...

[SnickersTK]

Can you make that mod for me?

I don't need them to save it on the comp.

I don't have the knowledge to code it myself with design and all that

As far as I understand only e-steki_smilie_creator.php needs to be changed, because that is the one who is a bit slow on creating smileys..

[Lea Verou]

Sorry but I'm too busy. Perhaps 1-2 months later but I can't promise...
