New Posting Features - Smilie Popup+

Why have I created this Mod?
If you have a large amount of smilies in categories then when you click on More? you get a huge popup that takes ages to load, what would be better is if you could select each category individually and so that's what this hack does.

Is it Easy to Install?
You betcha, this is a no edits mod, just install the product, enable it in vbulletin options and as long as you haven't got a modified smiliepopup template then it's all done (if your template is edited, just revert it)

Can I switch it off?
Yep, it comes with an Enable option for if you want to switch back to the page that takes forever to load

v1.0.1 Update
Seems the vBulletin Options didn't export properly in the initial product so I've had to modify things slightly and export the mod again, sorry for any inconvience caused, just overwrite the old product with this new one.

Alternative Version
To have the dropdown displayed on the right side of the smiliepopup rather than a double tcat then please see this post

The enable option for this hack can now be found in vBulletin Options > Smilie Popup+

Always, Bree

Sorry for the delay in replying.. I didn't get a notification that this thread had a new post.

I'm glad you enjoyed the hack and I'm glad I was able to give you an extra helping hand too If you want to make the menu dropdown bigger then you need to edit a file.

clientscript/vbulletin_textedit.js find:

			case 'smilie':
			{
				menu = this.init_menu_container('smilie', '175px', '250px', 'auto');
				this.build_smilie_popup(obj, menu);
				break;
			}

you need to edit this part:

menu = this.init_menu_container('smilie', '175px', '250px', 'auto');

the width is currently 175px
the height is currently 250px

replace as you see fit..

once again, sorry for the delay in getting back to you on this.

Hi m03,

Looks as tho I am late in responding also *blush*... I get to working on new things and forget what I was doing prior... Thank you sooo much for your response... I really appreciate the help! Hopefully I'll get to making these changes tonight... You are the best!

It's the littest changes you make to your boards that make the biggest difference I think =0)

Hugs, Bree

Thanks for the mod, it's exactly what I needed. One extremely minor thing though, I had a category with an ampersand in the title, and none of the smilies would show up unless I changed the "&" to "and". Like I said, extremely minor, but I figured it's worth mentioning just in case anyone else experiences it.

Thank you for posting this! I had the same problem this morning and was just coming to ask how to fix it! Now all of my categories work perfectly!

Question, I have a lot of smilies but the scrollbars are not showing. Any ideas what I did wrong?
