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.

Can you right click the red X and paste here the url that the browser is searching to find the image in?

Btw the zip file of the non-vba version is now updated to contain a slightly better template (see screenshots)
Also now the screenshots are from an english, default version of vbulletin

It's correct... Are you sure you have GD enabled in your server?

Yes, I do.

Version? I'm not sure but I think it requires 1.6 or more for some of the functions used...

If you go at the image's url you'll see a bunch of php warnings.
The problem is that the script for some reason, cannot use the images and all the other warnings come from that issue. What I can't determine is WHY it cannot open the images... It could be a fault chmod but since I can see them they are readable and do exist.
I'll think about it more and post when I think something that could be causing this apart from an old gd version... Btw I know there are more important issues about the smilie maker than looks but there is a template update, you are having the old template

What's the difference between: vba e steki smilie creator.zip and smmaker.zip?

I tried both but both are for vbadvanced (which I don't have)...

I think I'll wait for the vBulletin standalone version.

ermm smmaker is supposed to be for boards without vbadvanced... Did I forget to change the readme?

Just "it can be done"?? That's one of the easiest things that exist!
I guess you don't mean a human toilet but that box with sand inside right?
