Viewing Smileys

[Goldengirl71]

I am wondering if there is any way to see what is in a smiley package/mod before installing them?  I will attach 3 pics that have smileys I would like to find, but I do understand these may not be available on smf, or, may not work on my XPtsp theme.

Thank you for any assistance on this one:) Denise

[Kindred]

open the zip file of the smiley pack and view each individual file?

[Goldengirl71]

Ok Kindred,

For some reason I thought I would go directly to the install, but I will go do that.  I hate sounding so stupid but it might be because I am, LOL!! Thank you much for your reply;) Denise

Most of those are on my site, if you want to use them/leech them.

You mean the ones I attached K??  Are they in the mods that are available to me here?  I would love to know the name of the packages.  I tried viewing them, and got sidetracked.  I'm going back to look at Kindreds instructions;)

I'm going to go look at your site, I have never done that yet, ty K;) Denise

PS Before I add any mods, I am going to consider another theme.  This one seems more attractive in that it looks fun and light hearted.  This theme K:

http://custom.simplemachines.org/themes/index.php?lemma=1500 called Above the Clouds.  The only thing I see that might confuse my senior buddies is that "top of page" menu.  Maybe I could move it down without too much trouble.

ty much, Denise;) PS I'll start another thread where it belongs on modifying the menu;)

OMG, is that your site K??  Oh you have some WONDERFUL smileys, no cost?  I can definitely find some there.  Do you download them individually, or is there a package deal?  My fave is the "fart" shorts, LOL!!  Man, you are my kinda people, LOLLLLLLLLL!!

[kat]

Nope. Just meant that you could find and use them, if you want. For example, the images in your first screeny are on the "C" page on my site. (or is it "A"?)

Yeah, do what you like. No hassles.

Just link to them, in posts, like I do, thus...

Sorry Denise, it looks like that Above the Clouds theme is not compatible with your version    If you're running SMF 2.0.8 you need to choose a theme that's at least compatible with 2.0 RC5, though it's best to be on the safe side and choose only themes that specify compatible with 2.0 or above (all the RCs predate 2.0 final version).

I've thieved loads of K@'s smileys    See the "Add Smiley" option in your admin panel 

[Goldengirl71]

Oh thanks,

That admin panel is overwhelming, first time admin ever, LOL!!  I am sure I chose smf 2.0 themes, and that's where I found that, wait, let me look!! Dang, you are so right, figured you were;)  Hey, I had started to check smf 2.0 section and caught a glimpse of the listing for "Novelty and fun" LOL, oh well, I'll find one in my section:)  I love the one I have, but think a light theme will look better, ty again, so appreciate you and the others, Denise;)

You can have as many themes as you like, Denise.

You can have as many themes as you like, Denise.

technically there is a limit, but very few actually hit it.

[Arantor]

It has been hit precisely once to my knowledge.

[Steve]

That would be nuts to add that many themes to one's site.

[Arantor]

The limit is 255 themes over the life of a site. It's been hit precisely once to my knowledge, on what was an official/unofficial (never quite sure whether it was official or not) demo site for the themes on the theme site.

I know this because I remember the conversation about what to do when it hit id 255...

[Steve]

What do you mean 'over the life of a site'? If I remove a theme and use ftp to remove the folder (which is what I do), does that still count as one theme?

[Arantor]

Yes.

What happens is there's the smf_themes table, and every time you install a theme, it creates a new id - but deleting the theme doesn't free that id up again. While it's possible to fart around and reclaim that id, neither SMF nor MySQL do so by default for various good reasons.

[Kindred]

Oh.., and the site was semi official...

[Arantor]

I couldn't remember whether it was completely official or not, but I know it hasn't been updated in a while. Perhaps we should do that again some time.

[Steve]

Thanks Arantor.

@ Denise ... K@ has some great smilies and if you need even more, I know where you can get them.

i believe crip hit the limit as well on his theme demo site.

My forum has 645 smileys now    I need some more Christmas smileys I think, and if anybody has a "falling off a chair in surprise" smiley I'd be grateful 

[Steve]

I'm guessing you don't mean this:

[Chalky]

Close but no.  I have lots of laughing smileys already.  The little dude has to fall off the chair with shock or surprise, not laughter 

[Goldengirl71]

Like that little "falling off a chair" never saw that one;)

On the themes info, interesting.  I remove the previous template, or old program etc.  Just a habit, plus I always feel less clutter, just how I see it.  I didn't know you could have as many as you wanted so thank you much for that info.

Today I'll be working on getting the smilies added that I like (love the animated, or emoticons).  This one killed me K gave me, LOL! It's not a "smiley" per say, but it will be suitable for some of the outlandish seniors I know, LOL!!

That's normally my place!

Hi Chalky,

I found this one, hope you can see the link:

[Goldengirl71]

That's normally my place!

Wow, and you seem so well-behaved, LOL:)

[Arantor]

Wow, and you seem so well-behaved, LOL:)

Certain people around here would tell you otherwise

[Justyne]

Indeed. Arantor is quite the brat, but very lovable.

[Chalky]

Hi Chalky,

Thanks, that's very very close!  I've saved it but I'm still not seeing the surprise there....    You concentrate on your own smileys for now, that should keep you busy for a while 

[Goldengirl71]

Hey, it's a nice break to help someone else;)  If I run across one, I'll "bring it on" here;) denise

[Chalky]

Thank you!
