Name: DPK's SmilieMod.

Description: Minor update to 6.3, this will scan your graemlin directory, allowing you to choose which smilies to add. You'll also have the option of drop-down lists of your smilies, clickable smilies (a la default ubb), or a combo of both. Very handy if your forum uses many smilies.

Link: MultiHack File

Demo: none

Requirement: UBB™ 6.3

Awesome, I've always used the old 6.1 version of the hack

Shame it's one of those again where I have to go and extract the hack for a .txt file.. I never trust MultiHack

Cheers,
Oblivion

Ditto, I like to add my own customisation and MH makes that so much harder. It can also screw up some of the changes you make.. v.annoying.

Please stop releasing MH only mods, please.. Do a text version as well.

Will try later and MH rules

Mark, if that's your problem, just follow the steps inside MHK window, and choose to install only to get the extra files.

Will you end up Docing this AA?

I don't think it's worth documenting mhk files while you can just click on '>>'

*Groan* Fine I'll do it by myself.

I have extracted it into a .zip file with .txt instructions and graphics.

If it's alright by Allen and DPK I can upload it and provide a link for those who do not use MultiHack.

MultiHack always makes Windows crash when it´s installed and I think it brought a virus that makes the computer always dial-up for nothing

Doublehead, MultiHack doesn't bring any virus for sure. Maybe it crashes old Windowses, but it doesn't bring viruses.

BTW, your sig image is 200x119, please make it max 150x50.

Is there a way to get this hack working on the 'post new poll' page and 'post new calendar event' page?

A zip file with txt and images would be nice Oblivion.

I don't see why I should be penalized because I prefer not to use multihack. Why is it such an issue to provide text instructions? I prefer having control over the install because my templates are extremely hacked and don't contain all the info that the mhk looks for sometimes.

Allen and DPK. If you want this removed, just give me a shout.

Thanks,

[EDIT]
The .zip file will be updated when the .mhp file is updated by Allen.

Thanks OB

Everyone should understand that I'll be updating the mhp...

I worked until 3 am on the mhk, are you saying I should be penalized into less sleep so you guys can have a text file and then complain when you can't install it right? It's extremely simple to update an mhp to whatever differences you might have in your own files... that's how I got the mod from 6.1 - 6.2 - 6.3 status. I made the mhk for 6.2 but DPK never released it. If you must have a text file for any mods I release in mhk format, please make one.

I think it's great that you build the mhk files, it seems that the hack wouldn't get out unless you and LK are doing them these days. It just seemed that some negative comments were being thrown at the people that chose to do it manually, and I don't believe that I've been hammering anyone with stupid questions about these hacks.

multihack generates text files

The way I do mhk's on hacked forums is upload the changed files and make sure it works before adding those changed files into the general collection of files I use for backups, this isn't any different than what you should be doing if you modify manually. The advantage of the multihack is that you can analyze the changes to your files before you even attempt the install - takes less than 10 seconds. If there are differences because you've already modified your files it's just a matter of tweaking the mhk in edit mode. As long as the mhk has been tested and passes on other sites, there's no reason to think your mhk is magically broken and will not install on your files.

I really don't think "highly hacked" forums will have problems with this mhk... very few mods touch that section of the templates.

multihack is a great thing, i agree, im just a old by hand kinda person ya know , i like to know whats going on, hehe, ive always respected the work of the hackers here, unlike anthor forums hacking site where you sometimes have to pay a arm and a leg for a good hack, its always been free here .

I even prefer to hack by feet instead of using MH

I would also -- personally -- like to see hacks with text files for a few reasons:

1) I have customised templates
2) I like to be able to tweak mods as I go along
3) I just prefer text files
4) I can't make text files, since there isn't a Linux version of MultiHack and that is my OS of choice.

I take the text files and make them into Multihack files ... most of the time by searching manually for the "correct code" in the different files ... and cutting and pasting.

I also have worked the opposite way. Go into a Multihack file and find the code and search for it manually.

With my current board (which I am going to be upgrading to 6.3 SOON), I have a lot of hacks; so I had to use both of the above methods to find altered code, etc.

Then, as Allen has said, you can instantly test the code to see if it installed correctly.

I find it much easier to manipulate things with Multihack. Tremendous program.

You guys are welcome to make text files. With up to 18 hours/day here, I really don't have time to add more to my plate. If you want'em and will update them... make all the text files you want I'll make mhk's for those who want them

Got the following error, when clicking on a smilie in the smilie-window:
[code][/code]

Sorry, found it. It has to be "replier", not REPLIER.

Hey Allen: an FYI -- in your Multihack file, you have two steps for deleting code in the cp_graemlins.cgi file

This is the code you are supposed to delete:

[code][/code]In your file, in the first cp_graemlins.cgi mod you tell it to delete this once; in the second mod, you tell it to delete it twice.

When you analyze the hack, everything's cool. When you install the hack, you get an error message.

If you have a dupe mod in there, one needs to be deleted; if it's not a dupe mod, then something is out of step.

I hope this makes sense.

Okay, I have a question about hacking the JCTemplates

In the public_new_topic_form.pl file found in the templates' folder, there are two pieces of code that must be hacked.

I checked the public_new_topic_form.pl file found in the JCTemplates, and found the first piece of code, but the closest to the second was this:

And this is the code that I am supposed to replace it with:

[code][/code]So my question is this: do I replace that piece of code in the JCTemplate version of public_new_topic_form.pl with that code?

Or is that gonna make this too easy?

I also figured out the code in the JCTemplates--although I may have taken out too much!

Gotta investigate it.

Thank you Sue - headed to an Astros game.... I'll update the file late tonight

I went to an Astros game ... once upon a time. When they were still in the Astrodome!

I did figure out the code I deleted out in the JCTemplates. Everything's fine with that hack now!

Enro... er, Astros Field is a much better ballpark than the dome... you are much more a part of the game BTW, Astros cam back from a 5-0 deficit and won 7-5

Oh yeah, mhp updated with bugfixes

Question:

Why does the drop-down Smilie box work when placed above the message area and not when placed below it?

This code:

&smilie_generate("smilie_js");
&smilie_generate("smilie_dropdown");

...only works when situated above the message area? Why? I want the drop-down Smilie box to appear where the "Instant Graemlins" area is and I can't move it and have the Javascript for the drop-down box function.

This IS no doubt my favorite hack of all time. I have gained some nice features in the last six months but the version i had of this hack on i beleive 6.0 was flawless!!! Thanks DPK!

I'll get to the point

I REALLY want to get this hack installed. 6.3.1 seems to be the most stable thing i have run into since 6.1 or so.

I am running JC Templates which seems to complicate some of the hacks i am gathering....

Myself and my forum would really like this feature. Is anyone running it successfully with 6.3.1 and JC Templates?

Great site and great work all!!

It is a testament that i have been a member since last sept it appears when i started my board on a home server. It shocked me when i just posted a minute ago and realized it was my first post! You guys must be good

Okay, I have this installed for the third time and I'm stumped. Everything works fine except that the smilies are all listed twice in the smilie_box. I changed the number of rows and columns but only the second set of smilies is effected. If I add or remove smilies both sets are effected. If I turn the smilie box off it disappears just like it's supposed too.

hmmm.. sounds like something was added under instead of replaced, did you use the mhk? I may need to look for bugs then.

I get this in the first set when I veiw source...

javascript:void(0)

I get this in the second set, and this is the set that responds to the CP columns and rows properly...

javascript: x()

There is an obvious difference.

Got a link? And did you use the mhk?

I fixed it, and anyone using the JCTemplates should take note. I had to remove the code from the public_common.pl file in the templates folder as well as the JCTemplates folder. It was reading the javascript code for the smilies from the regular one but getting the rest of the code from the JCTemplates version.

As far as I know that is the only thing being read from the standard public_common.pl file.

Sorry Allen, I used the text file because I changed the location of the UBB Code buttons.

will this work with 6.2.1.1 version?

Cgi-Bin
# - cp_smilie.cgi, chmod 755
# - ubb_smilie.cgi, chmod 755
# - vars_smilie_adv.cgi, chmod 777
Templates
# - cp_smilieslist.pl, chmod 755
# - cp_vars_smilie_adv.pl, chmod 755
# - public_smilie_legend.pl, chmod 755

can i ask, where are these files?, there is only a multihack file
thanks

The Multihack program generates those files when you click the 'Install' button..

Here is the text file version of this hack...Pay attention do details as this text file appears different than the hacking text files you're used to seeing..Will update when Allen updates the Multihack file.....

Download zip file: Smiliemod Hack

letimeric.. If you don't use the Multihack program you can get those new files and others in this zip..

Allen, et al,

I am trying to install this hack into my test site--which I just upgraded to 6.3.1 beta release 1.0 ...

I have been able to find most of the code, but I am running into problems with the public form templates (i.e. pm, reply, new topic, edit topic).

In the past, the code to look for was this:

[code][/code]I'm having trouble locating code that is even remotely similar to that ...

I've only installed the mods_wordlets & CP Mod Addon (think that's it!) hacks ...

Any help/guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Here's a good tip.

Wait for 6.3.1 final before fretting over this. It has a bajillion new wordlets for the cp, so a lot of these will need to be tweaked to be easily installed. I have already done maybe 8-10 already with our version of the final, waiting on the actual release of the public final for the last couple of buglet fixes to be included.

ps, I think it's being released tomorrow or the next day.

Also you will not need to go through all the reply/topic/pm files as it's all called from public_common.pl now.

I just upgraded my board to 6.3.1, and the hack doesn't install correctly. I've even extracted the txt file and tried to manually re-hack. But somethings don't exsist.

The code in the new reply, new topic, edit post and PM form is in the public_common.pl now. It is a trick but I got it to install and work correctly. I don't recommend my way though since it was pretty intrusive. The hack needs to be modified for 6.3.1

I'll do that late tonight, check it for errors, then move to finished

OK, I think we're headed in the right direction, if someone else could test this:

http://ubbdev.com/db/uploads/smilie_mod631.mhp

I have tested it on 631, it seems to work ok, tho I need to finish the wordlets before it can be considered "finished".

This now requires the vars_wordlets_mods.cgi modfication to be installed first.

Thanks to Charles for putting the instant_ubb_code block in one place

Well I installed it (Manually) and removing the previous hack. I've run into two problems. First, if I select a smilie from the drop down list, I get an error:

The Smilie Legend works fine though.

Second error I'm getting is where the Instant UBB Graemlins/Code list should be, under Preview, I get:
the_message &smilie_generate("smilie_box"); print <

Other than that, everything seems fine.

Try making REPLIER lower case.

The replier fixed the first problem, but I still have the second problem.

I had to put the code back in the four templates (like it was before 6.3.1) and it worked fine. It took some tweakin' but it is possible.

argghh.. ok. it's the javascript doing that. I am just about through with the wordletification. I'll then test it some more...

for the moment, I've restored the original code for that area, and removed the Instant Graemlin box from the Templete.

Any luck or usable progress?

Friendly reminder bump

got yer bump swamped here, will try to get it done tomorrow night

argghhh... this was a lotta work

OK, I believe it is working well now. I have tested this one on 6.3.1. It also has been wordletized throughout and xhtml'd. Test this one and let me know if you see any missed xhtml.

results?

Just upgraded the Smile Mod I had. I ran into one minor complication. There are some Cap Typos in the ubb_smile. I had to change "oneclick" to "oneClick" and "selectedindex" to "selectedIndex"

Other than that, I'm please to report it worked well.

I tried to add the hack to public_polls.pl and public_new_calendar_event.pl but both are causing me greif.. Once the hack is installed, the 2 pages look like this:

New Poll

Any ideas how I can get the hack working with these 2 pages..?

FYI
Sorry, you do not have permission to create a poll.

Got a link to something I can see or a screenshot?

Sorry about that Allen.. I've only been an admin for 2 days so I didn't know their settings ..etc.. for guests.

http://www.darkoriface.com/ob/screenshot.jpg

.
.

This is the same thing that happens with Adding a new calendar event.. no need for a second screen shot.

n/p

so you aren't getting any smilies? what are your settings?

Guests must login before posting anything..
All that needs doing is finding out how to add the code to the 2 files as their codes are different and the same instructions don't work for them..

I am geting a Java Error. The dropdown functions, but the error happens when you select something from the list....it doesn't display the graemlin like it should so you can't click and add it to the box.

Open ubb_smile.cgi, do a Find/Replace. Replace all instances of "oneclick" with "oneClick" and all instances of "selectindex" with "SelectIndex". That fixed my java problem.

make that onClick and not oneClick, right?

Thank you Sonic, now they can update the mk file and move it to finished and update the mk file page.

It's not the onClick part, it's ONLY selectedIndex. The onClick doesn't change anything, and actually, "onclick" is better.

Thanks for that info LK, I was just comparing an older ubb_smilie.cgi to the current one, I was looking for case problems, and notice those two.

Thanks again Allen and LK and all others working on this one!!! It is the most important hack of all time!!! Starting to see that it might happen again now!! Can't wait!! Keep up the good work!!

Go team Go!! hehe

Hello,

I have set up a test board to check the installation of this hack on ubbclassic 6.1.3.1.
As this was a clean, full install of the ubb, and it was a multi-hack file I would have thought that it would be perfect. There are no other hacks installed on this board. When you go into the cpanel, the first thing I notice under the custom graemlin settings is that it is still listed as having a maximum of 25 graemlins, and that it does not display the workds dpk's smilie hack, nor do the links next to the >> to go to the advanced smilie setting show up or work. I have as a suggestion said changed the selectedindex with selectedIndex. I have the hack successfully installed and correctly working on a 6.3.0.1 message board, and do not want to upgrade to the latest board until I have managed to get this hack correctly working. When you go to post a new topic, the smilie box is there and the drop down box allows you to correctly select a smilie to use and then displays that to the right of the box. I can provide the link to the cpanel and username/password, but would prefer not to post the password here in open forum. Its almost as though a step by multi-hack was left out, yet I did not get any errors from multihack complaining that a directory could not be found. I have chmod the ubb_smilie.cgi to 755 and the vars_smilie_adv to 777. I really have no idea as to what may be happening. My icq # is: 15359024 if anyone is wanting to contact me regarding this.

Regards

Christopher.

Going over this... is it selectedIndex or is it SelectedIndex

There is only one instance of it in all the code (ubb_smilie.cgi, line #151) so I am not sure why it would cause a problem, but I'll update it if I can get an answer

BTW, it works fine without (further) changes in the 6.4 beta I am looking at

Hello,

Okay I finally found out what was missing, namely the vars_wordlets_mods and the fact that the instance of:

if ($vars_graemlins->{'custgraems'} > 25) {
&StandardHTML($vars_wordlets_cp{graemlins_too_many});
}
in cp_graemlins.cgi did not get deleted by multihack as it should have.

Glad you got it working

"selectedIndex"

.

Just a friendly bump..

I'll work on that next OK as soon as I get bugs finished Shouldn't be too difficult.

friendly little bump...

is this almost done? It would be nice to have to add the Halloween smilies...

It should be finished (I uploaded a new copy of it). I haven't added the poll section tho...

Anyone get the poll section to work yet? My poll part is still messed up!

I'd love to see this ported to 6.3.1.1
Has anyone managed to get it woring under this version ?

Cheers

If you don't mind mhp's , here you go:
Smilie 6.3.1

I've checked it against 6.3.1.2, so it should work fine for you

Allen, what about the public_poll.pl I think its called. That file needs to be modified, else the tables and stuff get screwy on that screen

do you have a link to it and a test acct or screenshots I could take a look at?

ok here ya go

Screenshot

hmmm.. ok, I'll work on it, might be a while tho. I'll post when it's done

Allen, thanks for the link, I'll give that a go

Ok Ive installed it and it all works fine. But I did find a problem in some of the javascript that didnt allow the previewing when a smilie was selected from the dropdown.
The line in the original code was
I had to change the word 'selectedindex' to 'selectedIndex' (notice the uppercase 'I') for it to work. Might be worth updating the mhp ?

Cheers

Cheers<hr /></blockquote>Thanks for the fix. I would have never figured that out.

No probs at all!

ok thanx allen, let us know when ya get that file done!

In this MHP you have it looking for var_wordlets_mods.cgi and its varS_wordlets_mods.cgi in my vars directory?

Painfool

I have this installed on our 6.3.1.1 boards and everything appears to be working just fine.

However I have a question, when you use dropdown box it just shows a list of the keystrokes in your post and not a way to select them to add them in your post. Is that what it is suppose to do? If so how would I make it act like the smilie legend where you select it from the list and it is added to your post.

next to that drop down box, there should be a link, it links to a legend, which pops up a box with all the smilies, you can click on them and it adds it to your post.
If you cant see that link check your settings and makde you you have selected to show the smilie legend.

in the drop down box, select the smilie you want, it appears next to the drop-down box... click on it

Hmmm, will have to double check my code I guess because it doesn't do that.

I used the multihack of this and had to only fix a couple things it couldn't find for some reason but everything was done just like the instructions said.

Hey guys we have a 6.3.0.1 version of the classic,i believe we dont need the multihack to add smilies as this is build in?

My question is how do we add more smilies?

If you wish you can contact me @

DerryIrish@hotmail.com

The .txt file link no longer works. Does anybody have a copy handy?

Thank you

Can anybody make a .txt file for me?

Thank you

DerryIrish, check your 'custom graemlins' link under the 'miscellaneous' tab in the control panel.

felix, I am not sure if I have a text file or not... if I do, I'll post it. You can always take a mhp file and export it as a text file if you want.

Allen, I looked at the MH file, can't figure out how do I export it as a .txt. I am not familiar with Multihack at all, never used it, I rather look for the codes and insert manually so I am aware of the changes made and therefore learn from it.

Would you mind how do I do that, if your time permitting?

Thank you
Felix
