Major Additions - MySmilies VB (v3.7.0)

Hack Support

This hack is now discontinued - this means that while it will remain available for download and use, there will be no further updates, nor will support be provided as the thread is no longer monitored.

Please click Mark as Installed if you are using this hack.

NOTE: I have marked this hack as Re-usable Code - This means that code from this hack may be used in other hacks, which can ONLY be released on official vB sites that use Jelsoft's verification system to verify your vBulletin license status, and as long as Kentaurus and I are credited in your hack.


vBulletin Version Compatibility

This hack can only be used with vBulletin v3.7.x.


NOTE 1:
This is a port of Kentaurus's MySmilies VB for v3.6.x (version 1.03) to work with vBulletin v3.7.0.

Kentaurus has indicated that he would be helping me provide support - see this post in his thread for confirmation. He has been added as a CoAuthor for this hack. Permission for me to port his hack is granted at the bottom of the 1st post in his thread.

NOTE 2:
Because I did not write the original hack (this version of the hack was originally only ever meant to be an interim version before Kentaurus released his version), hacks that I have written myself will always take priority over this one, and as a consequence, this hack only tended to get worked on whenever I felt the urge to look at it. I do not feel the urge anymore so have discontinued the hack.

People are free to install or un-install this whenever they want.

If anyone wants to continue the development of this hack, then they are more than welcome to take over, as I have marked this as re-usable code, I don't mind either way.


So Whats New?

• Now has CSRF (cross-site request forgery) Protection (introduced in vBulletin v3.6.10 and v3.7.0 RC 4)
• 9 new plugins (cached all uncached templates, WOL sorted)
• Now fully phrased
• Auto-template injection (no template edits should now be needed)
• Smilie Links now only appear if the member has permission to use MySmiles
• Prettied up a couple of the templates
• Template edits, if needed, now use only a single variable in each case
• Signature custom smilie support added
• Fixed attachments showing when posted inline within the same post (this only affects a very small amount of installations to start with, which is why it took so long to replicate, and I can not replicate this with every installation)

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 (does not include the new social network fuctionality that was added with v3.7.0 yet, it is on my to-do list)
• 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 ms_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.

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:

   $mysmilie_usercp 

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

   $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, and when I feel the urge to work on this hack. And as I have now completely lost the urge, it means that the rest of the requests will never be added.

1. [s]Signature custom smilie support[/s] - DONE
2. [s]Fully phrase the hack[/s] - DONE
3. [s]Usergroup Permissions - disabled by default[/s] - DONE
4. [s]Profile Comments custom smilie support[/s] - Will never be done
5. [s]Album Comments custom smilie support[/s] - Will never be done
6. [s]Social Group Comments custom smilie support[/s] - Will never be done
7. [s]Admin Control Panel utility to view/delete one, some or all custom smilies[/s] - Will never be done
8. [s]vB Blog custom smilie support[/s] - Will never be done

Thanks for this update.

I have this problem when i import the xml file.


Database error in vBulletin 3.7.0:

Invalid SQL:

CREATE TABLE `DTP_mysmiliesvb` (
`mysmiliesvbid` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment,
`userid` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL default '0',
`dateline` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL default '0',
`filename` varchar(100) NOT NULL default '',
`filesize` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL default '0',
`width` smallint(5) unsigned NOT NULL default '0',
`height` smallint(5) unsigned NOT NULL default '0',
`smilietext` varchar(20) NOT NULL,
`smilietext_parsed` varchar(60) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`mysmiliesvbid`)
);

MySQL Error : Table 'DTP_mysmiliesvb' already exists
Error Number : 1050

MySQL Version : 5.0.27

Now i did have the other version installed still....

I did try it after a uninstall also and got the same problem.


I have been up all night so.....good chance it is my fault

Any help would be great.

Cheers Beta.

In your AdminCP:

Click Maintenance -> Execute SQL Query

In the Manual Query box, type the following:
[sql]DROP TABLE DTP_mysmiliesvb;[/sql]

Then click Continue.

That should drop the table. You can then install my hack

You may need to run the following manual queries (run each query individually) if you are still having problems:

[sql]ALTER TABLE DTP_usergroup DROP mysmiliesvb_maxwidth;[/sql]
[sql]ALTER TABLE DTP_usergroup DROP mysmiliesvb_maxheight;[/sql]
[sql]ALTER TABLE DTP_usergroup DROP mysmiliesvb_maxsize;[/sql]
[sql]ALTER TABLE DTP_usergroup DROP mysmiliesvb_totalsmilies;[/sql]
[sql]ALTER TABLE DTP_usergroup DROP mysmiliesvb_totalsize;[/sql]

If anyone else is having problems then they can try the above queries.

NOTE: You will need to replace DTP_ with your Table Prefix if they have one, if you do not use them, then delete the DTP_ bits altogether before running each query.
