vBa CMPS: Smilie Creator v1.0.1

OVERVIEW: This is a conversion of an old VB2 hack (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=50450) by Kars10 to create new smilie faces on the fly. The original version acted as a pop-up box from within a BB code so that the new smilie would be inserted into your forum message posting. A BB code trick posted over at vbulletintemplates.com (http://www.vbulletintemplates.com/mo...ead.php?t=6671) really eliminates the need of having to do this hack anymore since you can accomplish nearly the same thing without having to do any code changes. I was still interested in this old hack though because there are times I'd like to be able to create a new smilie on the fly either for my own personal usage or for my site. So looking at it as a learning experience my goals were to change the hack to be a more generic approach and make it easy to integrate into a site so making it into a vBadvanced CMPS (http://www.vbadvanced.com) module seemed the obvious answer. The other added benefit of making it into a vBadvanced CMPS module is the fact that it could then be added to a web site without doing any code modifications at all but still being able to, for instance, block access to it from non-registered users. I emphasis.... the PHP code is by Kars10, my only change to it was to remove the file name from being hard-coded and instead I'm passing it in from the template in order to make it easier to add new smilies in the future.

REQUIREMENTS: Since the template and PHP are really generic you should be able to easily get it working with just about configuration. For my purposes thought it was intended for.....
  • vBulletin 3.x.x
  • vBadvanced CMPS
  • A server that supports GD -- If you server is not running GD then it will not be able to create the new image.
INSTALLATION: Installation is really easy.....
  1. Upload the fps_smilie_creator.php file to your /forums/modules directory (the folder where you keep your CMPS modules).
  2. Upload the fps_smilie_creator folder to your /forums/images/smilies folder (the folder where you keep your VB smilies). The resulting path should then be /forums/images/smilies/fps_smilie_creator.
  3. Copy & paste the contents of fps_smilie_creator_template.html into a new custom template named adv_portal_fps_smilie_creator (or whatever your prefer).
  4. Create a new VBA CMPS page or module. This is really your choice. For my site I liked it better being a seperate page so when I created my page I used the Page Template option. If you add it as a module instead of a new page then do not include the PHP file in the new module, only include the template!
That's it, you're done! If you upload the PHP file to a folder other than your modules directory or if you upload the images to a folder other than ../images/smilies then you'll have to update the template path names.


UPDATES: Updates & changes....
  • 2004-08-09: The problem with the right-mouse "Save Picture As..." in Microsoft Internet Explorer, where it would want to save it as a bitmap instead of a PNG, has been fixed. I also tweaked the template a little to no longer need the <div> tags.
TIPS & TRICKS: Some ways increase the functionality of your Smilie Creator....REMINDER: To always be informed of updates & changes be sure to click the button. :classic:

OK, I just did a brief experiment and it looks like your host server is running Windows instead of Unix or Linux and that line #53 of the PHP file may be having issues with that. When I get home (late) tonight I'll poke around to see if I can find anything out; I don't have access to a Windows hosted site to play with so it might take me a little bit longer than usual.

If you're up for it..... Experiment #1!

Please try replacing the "fps_smilie_creator.php" file on your server with the one attached instead.

Thanks,
Kevin

I'm trying to come up with experiment #2 now.... in the mean time put the module back on the right side! We'll figure that one at later.

Edit: OK, experiment #2 attached.

Edit #2: YLP1, if it still doesn't work shoot me of a PM instead so I don't end up filling up the thread with experiments.

YLP1, I realized that I can't send attachments via PM so I've got to muddle up the thread a bit more.

Attached is experiment #3. If this one still doesn't work let's take it to email (kw802@farpointstation.org) so I can send attachments.

For everybody else reading this thread... sorry filling up the thread with this stuff.

We're getting there! :nervous:

Some experimenting later and you're absolutely correct, when it hits 33 characters or more it has problems. I'm seeing what I can do now.... We could always cheat and make the input limited to 32 characters but I'll have a solution for you.
