Major Additions - MySmilies VB

Tested with vb 3.6.8

This hack puts the control of the smilies on the users. It lets any user (that you give permission to) upload or modify the smilies that he can use.

These are not the smilies that vb uses, these are user-customized smilies. The smilies that you already have in place are preserved and are still used. But users may upload their own smilies for their use, and they are kept separate from the forum smilies.

For users:

• Users can keep a library of smilies (they can upload them from their computer or web)
• Users enter their replacement text, for example, :iamhappy: would be changed for his user-happy smilie
• The custom smilies are parsed in any post, signature, or pm
• If they have enabled the WYSIWYG editor, smilies are shown there

For administrators:

• Usergroup control of who may upload custom smilies
• Usergroup control of the size (width, height, size in bytes) of the smilie
• Smilie quota, both for max number of smilies and max number of bytes or hard disk space
• The administrator can choose where to save the smilies (the directory, default: mysmiliesvb)

Installation instructions
See the included readme.txt

Info for hackers:
You may modify, improve, upgrade, redistribute this hack, include it
in another hack or yours or translate it provided you do it free of
charge and you distribute it in www.vbulletin.org at least, there is no
need to pm me asking for permission

That seems like a javascript/wysiwyg issue, what is the replacement text of the smilies that you added?

But I see that a javascript could happen in quickreply (if you have smilies enabled there) or in newthread in the special scenario that your smilie has a ' in it....

I re-enabled the hack to show you. This is happening for all except non registered. So I am PM you a link with a username and password so you could see it.

I checked your site. The javascript error that I get is:

vbPage is not defined

And tracing it a little... it goes back to:

<!-- [START HACK='vB Pager' AUTHOR='UAEWEB.COM' VERSION='3.0.3' CHANGEID= 5 ] -->

That's another hack that you might have installed (vb Pager?), and it has nothing to do with this hack I think this javascript error would ocurr even without the MySmilies hack installed, MySmilies doesn't use any kind of javascript.

I registered at your site (http://www.pctuts.be/forum/) and tried to start a new thread, I was able to use all the smilies without any problem. The mysmilies hack was, however, disabled, so I wasn't able to test wheter they were the problem.

Could you send me either by email, pm, or attach to a post the source code of the page that gives you the javascript error (with edit - view source code in most browsers) so I could further check it out?

hummm, I disabled the pager and the error is still there. I disabled your hack and it's gone. I have been using vbpager for a while now with no problems. Maybe some conflicts?

Thanks for compliment in PM

A quote is more generic, is not always a quote of a post from other user. A special parsing would be needed to consider the scenario.


Since the smilies are user-based, two users can have the same keyword for different smilies, or they could have a completely different set of smilies, meaning that when I parse the quote... I'd need to parse it not with the smilies from the user that published the post, but with the smilies of the user that was quoted. This, at the very least, duplicates the work that needs to be done.

Forum ones would usually,but not a problem, what about working in PM's thou as they don't either, will custom ones only work on the forums then?

Great hack thou, loving it
