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

That sorted it......well done !!

If it works for you, sure, no problem. My server requires it to be 777 due to an ownership setting.

Finally I found this thread again.

Installing this mod didn't work out for me, and after uninstalling I now have the following problem in the user group permissions:

There is an extra row without description that only allows to choose yes/no. The user permissions can no longer be saved. When I try to do this I get

Database error in vBulletin 3.5.4:

Please help me to properly uninstall this mod. :surprised:

You need to remove the bitfield_user_smiley.xml file from the /includes/xml directory as you would with most mods that modify user groups.

Oh? Now that was solved easily. Thank you very much Jafo! :up:

sorry to have disturbed you. I wonder if your teachers used this same attitude with you when you didn't fully understand something... Yes I found this, but nothing is showing up in the usergroups to click yes or modify to allow any specific usergroup access to this hack.


I do think this is a pretty cool hack. But the snide sarcasism is really not needed. Most of these hacks are put into simplified laymens terms to where it's not assumed that we know everything that you do or where. again.. sorry to bug you with what seems to be such trivial matters.
Yea.. I know just uninstall right?

Like the other guy VaaKo, when all that had to be said if others like a particular smilie that someone else posted. They could just download it and then upload to their group. Problem solved

First of all, why would you install any modification if you do not even understand what or where the plugin/product system is? That is just baffling.

Second, did you UPLOAD the files as per the readme?

Upload all the files and folders in the upload folder.

Or must I spell this out too? OK:

Unzip the zip file I gave you with a program called winzip. This program can be found at: http://www.winzip.com/. Just use your mouse with your favorite hand and click the underlined characters to the left.

(If you are unfamiliar on how to use a mouse, TYPE this in your browse address bar: http://www.lawrencegoetz.com/programs/mousepractice/ )

From there, click the download link and follow their directions to download and install winzip.

Once you find the folder where you unzipped the zip file, go to the upload folder, in otherwords OPEN THE upload folder. ALL OF THESE contents you must upload to the same folder where your Vbulletins index.php file is. That INCLUDES the folders, AND the files. This does NOT include the folder upload. You upload FROM the upload folder.

Magically, when you go to edit usergroups, it will rebuild the bitfields! Yay :banana: !!!

Now if you need any further assistance, please, contact me, I enjoy explaining the trivial.

TTFN, I must get back to this pile of code I write for free to further benefit the Vbulletin community who in general are at least thankful for it.....
