Soooo...

First of all, I must admit I'm a PHP-newbie...and the installation of this hack is REALLY tricky, but the results are OK, and I think it's worth while

Here's my hack. It creates a link just under the usual smilies panel and allows to have a huge amount of smilies, and to order them in folders.

1. Pre-Requisites

You must have this two hacks installed:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...threadid=24033
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...threadid=25888

2. Description of Files in .ZIP

smiliepanel.php - To copy in your root dir.
vbcode.js.txt - A few lines to ADD at bottom of your vbcode.js
blanksmile.gif - A "fake" smile to add in your /images/smilies dir
adv_smilie_*.txt - The templates you have to create
vbcode_smilies_getmore - The template as I have on my vbull.

3. How to install

a. Edit smiliepanel.php

Just after this comment

PHP Code:


			
<!-- Editable Code 

Write down the name of the Folder and the link 

as in this example:



<a href="smiliepanel.php?smiliepage=2">First Page</a> 



IMPORTANT: use "?smiliepage=1" only if linking the index -->

You'll find

PHP Code:


			
<a href="smiliepanel.php?smiliepage=2">First Page</a>

Replace "First Page" with whatever you want to call the first "folder" of your panel.

Do the same thing with

PHP Code:


			
<a href="smiliepanel.php?smiliepage=3">Second Page</a>

and so on. If you have (probably you have

) more than 2 folders, just copy&paste the code from line 27 to line 62, as many times as the folders you have.

Then, look for the line

PHP Code:


			
<!-- Smilie Folder #1 -->

and read the instructions above. Just make sure to respect the syntax for the "<a href".

b. Add the lines of code you find in "vbcode.js.txt" at bottom of your vbcode.js

c. Create the templates

adv_smilie_head
adv_smilie_page
adv_smilie_firstalt
adv_smilie_secondalt
adv_smilie_foot
adv_smilie_table
adv_smilie_close

and copy in them the content of the .TXT files.

d. Replace your "vbcode_smilies_getmore" template with the one you find in the .ZIP file.

e. Now...this is the only way I found to do that, and the way it was useful for me, if one of you has something better, pls help

Upload the "blanksmile.gif" to your smilies directory. Then go to the admin panel, and add the smile, without giving it replacement text and text.
Then, move the "blank" smile to the last position.

I have 36 smilies installed on my board, and with the "blank" one they become 37.

Then I went to "vBulletin Options", and set "Clickable Smilies Total" to 36. (That means it has always to be your number of smiles, minus one).

f. Upload vbcode.js and smiliepanel.php

That's it.

Comments and suggestions are REALLY appreciated.

Hey, I'll install the hack, but first, do you have any previews or something so I can see how it looks and get a better idea of how it works.

Thanks!

Sure!

Here's the bottom of the "old" smilies panel

Here's the main page of the panel

And finally a "folder" of smilies

Great 'tricky' hack, very nice. Thanks. :up:

Am I correct in understanding that you have to actually edit the smiliepanel.php file and add ALL the smilies by hand?

Also, where does one get the rightarrow.gif from?

Yes, that's right.

Whoops...here it is...I'll add it to the .ZIP file asap.

Tnx.

Another question....If we have to manually add each smilie to the template, then why do we need to have the Change the display order of smilies hack? I'm curious.

Hey, can we have it go straight to the Panel instead of clicking on a link to go their?

Well...basically because I didn't know how to do it...

I'll try to explain.

If you have...for example, 10 smilies INSIDE vbulletin (the ones you add from the admin panel), you won't have the "Get More" text below the panel, right?

Since my hack replaces the "Get More" link under the main smiles panel, you have to add a blank smile to the database, then put it in the LAST place (that's why you need to change the order) and then go to Options --> Clickable Smilies Total --> and change it to the number of your smilies MINUS one...the blank one.

I know it's REALLY tricky, but it's the only way I thought of it

Uhmm...

I guess not. Unless you build a "postbit" template including frames, but in this case I guess the javascript won't work.
