Name: DPK's SmilieMod.

Description: Minor update to 6.4, 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™ 6.4-6.5

allen, you cheater lol... No one wanted to "port" this cas the 6.3 worked just fine :-x...

Actually most hacks seem to work with a few revisions to newer UBB versions. It's nice to have things ported to make our lives much easier and so we can spend more time on things such as template hacking. Cool job Allen!

Anyway, you can add more smilies without limit and the hack excluding the dropdown just by editing the cp_graemlins.cgi file. Where it says "25" (two times) just change it to whatever number or just delete it.

Allen, you are a sweetie! Thank you!

I have one more deal, though. I need to install the vars_wordlets_mods.cgi hack ... and I can't seem to find the info for that ... can anyone direct me to the correct thread?

Thanks!

http://www.ubbdev.com/ubbcgi/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=33&t=000021 - I believe it's the same as for 6.3.1, it worked for me but I can't remember if I had updated it or not

Please analyze it with multihack and let me know... if it's different, I'll upload the one I used earlier today

Allen, I'll repeat myself! You're a sweetheart! It worked without problems! Thank you!


I do have one question about the smilie mod in regard to polls; this mod doesn't take into account starting a thread with a poll and having the option of placing instant graemlins in the message (via either the drop-down or smilie box).

Is it easy to fix this? I just tried replacing the

and it didn't work!


[edit to add in this]

One other "little thing" -- with the regular Instant Graemlins, whenever you click on them, it'll insert the smilie wherever you've left your cursor. I like that.

With the pulldown menu, however, it always puts the smilie at the end of the message.

It's just a little thing, but it bugs me. How can I go about fixing that? Thanks!

hmmmm.... that was the thing needed done for the older version, I forgot about For most, polls are used pretty sparingly, so I forget to take them into account. I'll see what I can do this week

This is true, Allen.

I guess I'm kinda obsessive-compulsive when it comes to stuff like this!

Thank YOU for your help. It's appreciated!

Hmm...Ok. From my understanding the smilie hack had a few issues with the polls. I don't know if anyone resolved it but I never did a follow up on it so I can't say.

Unfortunately on 6.3.1.1 when I had the Smilie hack installed the smilies did not stick to the area of my cursor which was a disappointment.

Hey ADWOFF?...What do you mean by?

It doesn't show up or the table is misaligned? If it doesn't show up you will need to go into your CP and enable the smilie list in the Smilies option.

I posted this in another thread but in case anyone who uses both Smilie (DPK) and Quick Reply (Greg Hard & LK) hacks and wants to have smilies with their Quick Reply do this:

You will need both Smilie hack (or inserts of) and Quick Reply hack.

##In public_topic_page.pl

Find:

**You will need to change the popup window variables (e.g., width, height, left and top) to the size works best for you.

Now Find (for Quick Reply w/smilie):

Now when you click on the link the smilie legend will popup for you to use.

actually, does this hack also work for 6.5 ?

Hello, anyone alive? Or did all users leave that board and installed phpboard already? :-) Just wanted to know if i can use this smiley-hack also for 6.5 ?

thanks for the bugfixes PT

hey Chris I just checked, it looks like it should work just fine for 6.5 as well

thx. works fine for me and is very usefull as well

I have version 6.5, but it seems like I don't have a file called vars_wordlets_mods.cgi. What is that file and does it the mod still work without it? Thanks in advance!

you need the vars wordlet mod. it's essential for a lot of hacks.

you can get it here

The Mod Wordlets allow words that are used by hacks to display. The mods can work without it but you'll have a lot of blank spaces.

I couldn't find one for UBB 6.5 but I think you can use this one:

Click Here

Oooo...Weird got to it. Heh.

cool. I got it, thanks guys!

Wow, this is one cool mod compare to the one that I had to manually set up each smilie for my old board!!! So where in the code that I need to modify so it will insert the code at the cursor point instead of appending the code at the end?

I'm not sure if anyone resolved that. It may be within the ubb_smilie.cgi under:

[code][/code]The "function smchange" and "function smclick" possibly.

Yep! With the help of my coworker, we were able to make the drop down smilie list insert at cursor point, still don't know how to make the legends and the full list to do the same . Thanks for the help, I'll poke around in ubb_smilie.cgi ...


comment out

Any chance of a text file export please, Allen? I really don't want to install MultiHack on the computer I'm using at the moment...

Here is the zip file with everything you'll need.

SmilieMod 6.4 ZIP
I accidently exported the files into my folder setup. ubb is the non-cgi folder

Thanks Al

i used the .txt-file and installed before the old mod_wordlet-thing and... everything works GREAT so far, no problem. i did update all files on a running system *g* and ... wow, thanks so far, works fine on my 6.5 and now i just have to change some things on the post/reply_window, too much smilies do apprea below the textenty-field, have to kick 'em out... so, my recommendation for 6.5-users: install it, takes some time but works very fine and my users cannot live without additional smilies :-)

You do not have permission to access this area.

That is what i am gettin gwhen I try to go into the advance settings in the CP can anyone help me out?

Peter

make sure you CHMODed all the files correctly

I did i even checked them 3 times

Peter

Is There anyway to put the smiley legend on the quick reply box to insert graemlins that way?

http://www.ubbdev.com/ubbcgi/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=33;t=000020#000009 earlier in this topic

oops

ok have done that
but it inserts the graemlin name without the : : at either side?

vtec, vars_wordlets_mods.cgi is a seperate modification, and no it won't work correctly without it.

Allen, quick question, when viewing the smilie list it looks all wacked out at http://www.undergroundnews.com/cgi-bin/ubbcgi/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=smilie_legend the background is white (would prefer to have it use my default background information) and theres an awkward space before and after the table, anyway to edit those out?

in public_smilie_legend.pl, just remove the
at the top and bottom. for the background, I couldn't figure out anyway of fixing it without hardcoding the info into the body tag
