Lots-O-Smileys

[williamfree]

hello to all... it compliments for beautifulst the forumI want to ask to you..install  of the smiles but I would want to insert them all like POP-UP... as I come here?Thanks

I would like to say i'm sorry for not checking back for so long. I have been working on several projects including trying to start my own online buisness which requires a multitude of scripting projects in itself. I promise when I can spare some time I will work on answering all of your questions that have not been answered already. I had no idea this small mod would be so popular. I appreciate all of you who have helped in my place. Thanks.

After "thumbing" through all your questions I can answer one now. After you install the package you will have to import the smileys before they show up. I hope that helps some of you.

Does anybody know how to import?  It's probably something simple, but different people use different words when communicating.

Ok, that's what I've done.  Aren't you supposed to see the smilies throught your admin panel after importing so you can delete the one's you choose?

It might have something to do with version. I havent updated this in several months. The version I am using now is 1.0.1 which is way behind. One of the coders here might help you like [unknown].

how can the smiley window be resized?..i didnt see a solution in post? so you dont have to scroll across the world..
thx

I installed this and couldn't get it to show the images. I then uninstalled this, because no matter what I did in trying to get the images to show in other than alt images....they would not. Even though this is now uninstalled....the missing images still show up as alt images. How do I remove them from showing in the posts section. The only way I've found is to not allow customizing..once customizing is clicked on...alt images still show.

SOS!

Anyone get this thing to work yet? i spent 3 hours just now and still cant get it to work, I uploaded the new smily folder, got it in the right place, when i go into adming and look at the smiles in this dire, they are all there and show up in admin panel unde smily set. They all show hidden, but anyway when i put a selection mark by
"Enable smiley set selection by members" (and i have that new folder set as the default) and i go try and post it removes my post window somehow. I cant get the default so show either, tis have been a total nightmare hell just to get some smilies to work

This is really confusing if you are new to SMF.
Ok, questions:
1. switch from above post to pop up and back - where can I set this? Looked everywhere in Smileys but couldn't find it.

2. I installed the smileys with the package manager. Then I made a new smiley set, pointed the URL to the Lots_O_Smileys folder in the Smileys dir. I set this as default set.
The problem now is that the images of the default smileys do not show up .. can not of course, since the default URL now goes no longer to the default folder: iread about this in the pages of this thread but I am confused. Do I have to manually upload the smileys from the default folder into Lots_O_Smileys? Do I then have to manually add the information like shortcuts for the image (not sure about the correct terms but so that when you type e.g. : )  an image appears instead)?
I am also confused about that only a small number of smileys appear above the post .. shouldn't there be more?

Would it be possible to write a step by step instruction so that future users don't have to go through all 4 pages of this thread? I had no idea how to import until I found a link on one of the last pages ..


Pls. take my hand and walk me through.
Kidding, I just need some initial support ..

Hmm. May sound like a noob - but i cannot see that popup windows with additional smileys every1 talkin about!!!

Same question, except I want to change them all at once, not one-by-one.

new user here

trying to add more smileys.

I downloaded Lots-O-Smileys and did a package install.

All I got was text instead of graphics - I played around and decided to remove the directory.

I have gotten back to having the default and classic smileys - but they are also text.  (This is better than when I had no smileys on my pages LOL)

When I go into Edit Smileys - all I see is text - no graphics and no errors.


A couple of questions

1) How do I get back to having graphic smileys?

2) How do I install Lots-O-Smileys, so I get graphics and not text?

My site is -  http://www.club285.com

PS - I have read this and other threads and I'm still clueless

I used the Package Manager to install and then set Lots_O_Smileys as the default, but I get red Xs instead of smileys. My default and classic work fine, so I wonder what I am doing wrong.

Go into your site and make sure the files are in your smielys/default directory  - when I installed they were put into a Lots_o_smileys directory

In the admin panel under smileys - make sure the following is filled in

Base URL to all smiley sets:  http://www.YOUR URL.com/Smileys

Absolute path to all smiley sets:  /home/YOUR URL/public_html/Smileys

The smiley thing in SMF is something the authors should fix up, it is a pain in as-s to work with smileys in this software. Why haven't they fix it up to be a bit easier. Got same problems as all in this thread 

[chq]

I am using SMF 1.1 rc2

Instead this mod, everything worked perfectly.  Sat there for about an hour removing the smiley's i didn't like, and ordering the ones people will see when they post, and putting the rest in the popup menu.

Then after an hour of clicking and clicking and more clicking, i go to post my first reply to add some cool new smileys and all i see is text instead of smileys

Happy Sad Angry etc.  Even in the popup.  How do i get the images to show up?  Or is this the exact same problem everyone else is having?  I CAN see the images when i order them in the admin section, and they all show up in all pages of the smiley section in the Administration part of my forum just not in the actual forums where i need them to show up

put the smilies you want to use in the default smilies directory. If your using smf 1.1 rc2 then go to admin panel and click on "Smileys and Message Icons" then on "settings" make sure "Enable customized smileys" is checked and all your paths are right. Then go to "Add Smiley" and browse for it in the drop down menu, enter the code for it and it should show up.

EDIT: Make sure the smilies directory in your file manager in cpanel is set (chmodded) to 777. It might not matter but might as well anyway. Hope that helped a bit.
