What Does This Hack Do?

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 standard forum smilies.

For users:

• Users can keep a library of their own smilies (they can upload them from their computer or web)
• Users enter their replacement text, for example, :iamhappy: would be changed to their own 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)
• Auto-template Injection - if the appropriate template hooks are available, you will not need to make any template edits at all, if edits needed you only need to paste a single variable where you need it

Installation Instructions

See the included Installation Instructions.txt file in the sv_mysmiliesvb.zip zip file.

ADDITIONAL NOTE:
A limitation exists with the fix that rectifies the problem of attachments showing when also posting them inline within the same post; when applied, all attachments will need to be displayed inline, if they have not been, then the ones that have not been posted inline will be hidden along with the ones that have been posted inline. Read Post #106 for more information on this. -- I'm working on this



Uninstall Instructions

1. Delete mysmiliesvb.php from your forum's root directory.
2. Delete the mysmiliesvb directory from your forum's root directory.
3. Delete class_dm_mysmiliesvb.php from your forum's /includes directory.
4. Delete bitfield_mysmiliesvb.xml from your forum's /includes/xml directory.
5. Delete delete.gif from your forum's /images/misc directory (if more than one style remember to delete it from all misc directories).
6. Optional Step: This step is only if the auto template injection does not work, and you did the optional template edits.
   
   In the USERCP_SHELL template, find and delete:
   
   PHP Code:

   {vb:raw mysmilie_usercp} 

   In the navbar template, find and delete:
   
   PHP Code:

   {vb:raw mysmilie_navbar} 

7. Uninstall the product in vB using the AdminCP Product Manager.

To Do List

Features are being done in the order that they appear on the list.

1. Admin Control Panel utility to view/delete one, some or all custom smilies
2. Add custom user smilies to the misc.php?do=showsmilies page and to the "More Smilies" popup.

v4.0.001 - May 26th, 2011
-- Updated for vB4

v3.8.004 - January 15th, 2010
-- Changed: query() calls were being used instead of query_read()

v3.8.003 - August 5th, 2009

-- Fixed: Those upgrading from Mosh's version should be fine now.

v3.8.002 - August 4th, 2009

v3.8.001 - August 4th, 2009
-- Initial v3.8.0 release - mod taken over by Eric Sizemore (SecondV)
-- Fixed: standard_error calls were not using eval() as they should be
-- Fixed: Some queries were not using TABLE_PREFIX
-- Fixed: Even though phrases were in place, some parts of the mod used hardcoded langauge strings.
-- Fixed: Some errors in templates, missing ending tags, etc.
-- Fixed: Upload - the upload source didn't appear to be detected properly.
-- Changed: "maxversion" in the product XML increased.
-- Changed: "hard delete" option no longer on by default.
-- Changed: The "mysmiliesvb" table was altered to have KEY's on the "userid" and "dateline" columns. Hopefully this will increase performance/smilie lookups.

that doesn't occours to all of the personal smilies, only some

I upgraded forum from 3.8.1 where i had the old mysmilie plugin... leaving also the old personal smilies.

If you upgraded from the 3.8 version, you may want to ensure the templates were updated, etc. I have had problems where going from 3.8 > 4.x didn't update templates and plugins, allow it doesn't happen that often.

Can this be fixed and how?

Where are the smilies supposed to show anyway?

The smilies should show in the smilie box & smilie dropdown. Have you made sure the permissions are set properly for usergroups?

Will this work with vB 4.1.5? Thanks

Yes sir, I think it may be a conflict with lynnes smileys under editor box.

When I upload a smiley in the settings it does not show

[Hostboard]

I am having the same issue... I upload the smilie, it does upload as I can see it in the folder on the server. I can confirm it is saving the replacement text as it notes when duplicate text is used. BUT nothing shows up in the MySmilies section nor in the editor.

Using my admin user group for testing.

Using v4.0.002
Any fix for this?

[OldSchoolDSL]

1/2 working on 4.1.8

On the "My Smilies Page" if I upload a new smile, I see it there. But If I leave that page and return... I don't see anything there. So I can't delete or update my smile.

Everything else in the modification works, but I did have to add the template code manually.

[Replicators]

For the dev's information, this mod conflicts with vbtube pro version when encoding video's, i have notified both dev's, so i am doing my part on the confliction.

[OldSchoolDSL]

Working without issue in

4.1.10 Alpha 1 and Alpha 2

[spillage]

Installed on 4.1.10 update release... working straight out of the box... beautiful.

How can I make it so people MUST have 2 colons in every smiley they create? So I don't have lamers making a smiley for every popular word :P
