Custom User Smileys

As an administrator of a pretty busy forum, I get tired of users asking to add this smiley, or that smiley, so I wrote up this extension that allows users to upload their own smileys. Each user has a custom smiley set that they can choose from.

Users smilies are private, meaning everyone can see their smilies, but that smiley is only displayed in that users smiley set when they post/reply to an article.

The administrator can limit what groups can use custom smileys, and can define how many smilies users can have, their file size, and W X H restrictions.

ChangeLog:

May 18th, 2006 - Patched popup smilie hook for standard editor (advanced was fine)
May 21st, 2006 - Patched popup smilie hook to include phrases instead of static names. Modified readme slightly for smiliebits.

Installation

Installation is simple and there are NO source code edits.

Set it up, enjoy and

[hotwheels]

very nice job.........works perfectly.

Like suggested earlier, if you have alot of smilies, put $usmiliebits above $smiliebits that way it will be the first list your user's see......

Fixed this in the latest version (1.02). You should download the patch file for 1.02 and follow the directions in the file.

Minor Update:

Adjusted template edit in readme to put the $usmiliebits above OR below $smiliebits.

Another edit: Removed this out of BETA. Has been extensively tested on three forums that I administer.

Happy smiling!

I have a question about the file permissions and security.

Would CHMOD 766 [Owner: r/w/e, Group: r/w, Public: r/w] be good enough to use? I don't want an exploit-area open on the server [execute a malicious script, for example]

[akanevsky]

Useful mod, will probably install, but few suggestions:
1. Would you please format your code to make it more readable?
2. First bit should have a value of 1, not 2.

[Cybertims]

Why does it show your uploaded smilie in two columns in the smilie popup, and only the left one is clickable?

Each smilie I upload is shown twice in the popup window...anyone else getting this?

Cheers.

I get this also, though both of mine are clickable. The official screen shots show it as well.

OK, I think I have it figured. In the User Smilies Popup Hook replace the code with this:

$pics = unserialize($vbulletin->userinfo['usmilies']);
if (!empty($pics)) {

$usmiliebits = "<tr valign=\"top\"><td class=\"tcat\" colspan=4>$vbphrase[usmilies_custom_smilies]</td></tr>";

$num = 0;
foreach ($pics as $key => $value) {

$num++;

if (($num % 2) == 1) {
$usmiliebits .= "<tr valign=\"top\">";
}

$usmiliebits .= "<td class=\"alt1\"><img src=\"" . $vbulletin->options[bburl] . "/user_pics/$value\" id=\"" . $vbulletin->options[bburl] . "/user_pics/$value\" alt=\"\" title=\"$key\" /></td><td class=\"alt1\">$key</td>";

if (($num % 2) == 0) {
$usmiliebits .= "</tr>";
}

}
if (($num % 2) == 1) {
$usmiliebits .= "<td class=\"alt1\">&nbsp;</td><td class=\"alt1\">&nbsp;</td></tr>";
}

}
