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.

Nope, it wouldn't. I was asking if you changed the hack's main template

[Gallio]

Oh so you could only make them through that URL, No other places? Maybe you should think about making it so you can make your own smiles in the user CP and save them. That would make life easier, Gread Hack by the way

Also I had my forum set wrong it all works now.

[Lea Verou]

Glad I helped, I am surprised that a wrong setting there didn't cause more trouble than this. It's nice what you suggested but I'm still scared to make my hacks write to the database When I overcome this, I'll probably work on it (and when I have more time )

[forte]

Is it possible to change the background for the eyes, lips and faces cause having a dark skin sure is troublesome.

[Lea Verou]

I just took these images from the original smilies of that set. But you can always change them, just make sure the size stays the same cause otherwise it will need file modifications of the hack. I think an alternative for dark skins was posted earlier in the thread

[forte]

All i found were some new images of the faces.

[Miss Tiina]

Hi I have this installed on my forum but it is not working correctly for me... Everything is displaying except the created smilie when you click create, it just shows the "Your smilie is being made - Please wait" text all the time. Im also getting a 500 error when i try to goto forum/modules/e-steki_smilie_creator.php but the file is in there. I tried re-installing and it still wont seem to show the created smilie. I have also checked my server and I have GD 2.0.28 enabled. Please help
