Is there any way to add more emoticons to the forum database? because.. i have the current forums.. and i see no options anywhere that lets me add more emoticons . I would like to add more so that other people can see them in a list.. just like how the default ones are.. could someone tell me how to do this please? I am still kinda new at all this.. so please dont make it too complicating.. unless you have to. Thank you for reading my post and i will be eagerly waiting for a reply.

The SmileManager Plus for Snitz 3.4 mod allows you to add more smiles, and has other new options to boot..may be the easiest way to go  |

| You could also edit the files that control your default smilies, which would add them directly to the same place they are now. Doing that would involve modifying the code of three of your Snitz files. Is that an option for you? |

| TestMagic, I would be interested in knowing how to manually add smilies with the Snitz Forum (version 3.4.03). I tried to use the MOD that did this, but it kept conflicting with my Poll Mod. If you could be of any assistance, I would greatly appreciate it. Basically I have the new smilie added into the forum, however, when I post a message with the new smilie, I only see the text I assigned it, not the actual picture. Thank you in advance for your assistance. |

First, you can look here to see what my post.asp looks like:
http://www.testmagic.com/forum/post.asp?method=Reply&TOPIC_ID=1714&FORUM_ID=65
It's pretty easy to add more smilies.
You need to upload the smilie, add the smilie code to inc_iconfiles.asp, like this (new code in red):
Const strIconSmileShock = "icon_smile_shock.gif|15|15"
Const strIconSmileShy = "icon_smile_shy.gif|15|15"
Const strIconSmileSleepy = "icon_smile_sleepy.gif|15|15"
Const strIconSmileTongue = "icon_smile_tongue.gif|15|15"
Const strIconSmileWink = "icon_smile_wink.gif|15|15"
Const strIconSmileSpidey = "icon_smile_spidey.gif|15|23"
Const strIconSmileTM = "icon_smile_tm.gif|16|16"
Const strIconSmileCrazy = "icon_smile_crazy.gif|15|15"
Const strIconSmileYuck = "icon_smile_yuck.gif|15|15"
Const strIconSmileDance = "icon_smile_dance.gif|22|21"
Const strIconSort = "icon_sort.gif|24|24"
Const strIconStarBlue = "icon_star_blue.gif|16|15"
Const strIconStarBronze = "icon_star_bronze.gif|16|15"
The numbers at the end are the dimensions of your new smilies.
<edit>Notice how each new smilie has a unique name, such as "Crazy", "Yuck", or "Dance".</edit>
And then you need to add it to your smilie menu, like this:
<edit>The name of this file is inc_smilies.asp.</edit>
" <td><a href=""Javascript:insertsmilie('[:X]')"" tabindex=""-1"">" & getCurrentIcon(strIconSmileKisses,"Kisses [:X]","") & "</a></td>" & vbNewLine & _
" <td><a href=""Javascript:insertsmilie('[^]')"" tabindex=""-1"">" & getCurrentIcon(strIconSmileApprove,"Approve [^]","") & "</a></td>" & vbNewLine & _
" <td><a href=""Javascript:insertsmilie('[V]')"" tabindex=""-1"">" & getCurrentIcon(strIconSmileDisapprove,"Disapprove [V]","") & "</a></td>" & vbNewLine & _
" <td><a href=""Javascript:insertsmilie('[?]')"" tabindex=""-1"">" & getCurrentIcon(strIconSmileQuestion,"Question [?]","") & "</a></td>" & vbNewLine & _
" </tr>" & vbNewLine & _
" <tr align=""center"" valign=""middle"">" & vbNewLine & _
" <td><a href=""Javascript:insertsmilie('[tm]')"" tabindex=""-1"">" & getCurrentIcon(strIconSmileTM,"TestMagic [tm]","") & "</a></td>" & vbNewLine & _
" <td><a href=""Javascript:insertsmilie('[spidey]')"" tabindex=""-1"">" & getCurrentIcon(strIconSmileSpidey,"Spidey [spidey]","") & "</a></td>" & vbNewLine & _
" <td><a href=""Javascript:insertsmilie('[crazy]')"" tabindex=""-1"">" & getCurrentIcon(strIconSmileCrazy,"Crazy [crazy]","") & "</a></td>" & vbNewLine & _
" <td><a href=""Javascript:insertsmilie('[yuck]')"" tabindex=""-1"">" & getCurrentIcon(strIconSmileYuck,"Yuck!! [yuck]","") & "</a></td>" & vbNewLine & _
" </tr>" & vbNewLine & _
" </table>" & vbNewLine
<edit>Be sure to use your new smilie names in the right places.</edit>
You need to change inc_func_common.asp, like this:
fString = replace(fString, "[V]", getCurrentIcon(strIconSmileDisapprove,"","align=""middle"""))
fString = replace(fString, "[v]", getCurrentIcon(strIconSmileDisapprove,"","align=""middle"""))
fString = replace(fString, "[:X]", getCurrentIcon(strIconSmileKisses,"","align=""middle"""))
fString = replace(fString, "[:x]", getCurrentIcon(strIconSmileKisses,"","align=""middle"""))
fString = replace(fString, "[spidey]", getCurrentIcon(strIconSmileSpidey,"","align=""middle"""))
fString = replace(fString, "[tm]", getCurrentIcon(strIconSmileTM,"","align=""middle"""))
fString = replace(fString, "[crazy]", getCurrentIcon(strIconSmileCrazy,"","align=""middle"""))
fString = replace(fString, "[yuck]", getCurrentIcon(strIconSmileYuck,"","align=""middle"""))
fString = replace(fString, "[dance]", getCurrentIcon(strIconSmileDance,"","align=""middle""")) Smile = fString
<edit>Again, make sure you don't make any mistakes in your new smilie names.</edit>
That's all there is to it, but it's possible I may have forgotten something. |

Thanks so much testmagic! This was exactly the information I was looking for to change my default smilies. Now that I know I can do it(I did it) I can also add a couple when I feel like playing around some more!

HI, this looks like what I would like to do to my board, but i've got a question......
The red parts that you've added,
Const strIconSmileSpidey = "icon_smile_spidey.gif|15|23"
What's the |15|23 all about? Is that the image size or something?
Thanks

Those are the dimensions of the image in pixels--whatever numbers appear there will determine the size of the image that appears in the browser. In other words, if your image is really 30x30, but you leave the dimensions at 15x15, the 30x30 image will be squished into a 15x15 box.
Make sense? |

I need to revive this topic, hoping someone's still reading it.
How are the new smilies placed on the webpage? Apparently the default ones are put into the cells of an invisible table. Right? If some new ones of a different size are added, would the old table appear messed up? |

The smilies are added to the table beside the post message box ( the one beside where you post a message) they are not invisible.
this is the table that is displayed
" <td><a href=""Javascript:insertsmilie(' ')"" tabindex=""-1"">" & getCurrentIcon(strIconSmileKisses,"Kisses ","") & "</a></td>" & vbNewLine & _
" <td><a href=""Javascript:insertsmilie(' ')"" tabindex=""-1"">" & getCurrentIcon(strIconSmileApprove,"Approve ","") & "</a></td>" & vbNewLine & _
" <td><a href=""Javascript:insertsmilie(' ')"" tabindex=""-1"">" & getCurrentIcon(strIconSmileDisapprove,"Disapprove ","") & "</a></td>" & vbNewLine & _
" <td><a href=""Javascript:insertsmilie(' ')"" tabindex=""-1"">" & getCurrentIcon(strIconSmileQuestion,"Question ","") & "</a></td>" & vbNewLine & _
" </tr>" & vbNewLine & _
" <tr align=""center"" valign=""middle"">" & vbNewLine & _
" <td><a href=""Javascript:insertsmilie('[tm]')"" tabindex=""-1"">" & getCurrentIcon(strIconSmileTM,"TestMagic [tm]","") & "</a></td>" & vbNewLine & _
" <td><a href=""Javascript:insertsmilie('[spidey]')"" tabindex=""-1"">" & getCurrentIcon(strIconSmileSpidey,"Spidey [spidey]","") & "</a></td>" & vbNewLine & _
" <td><a href=""Javascript:insertsmilie('[crazy]')"" tabindex=""-1"">" & getCurrentIcon(strIconSmileCrazy,"Crazy [crazy]","") & "</a></td>" & vbNewLine & _
" <td><a href=""Javascript:insertsmilie('[yuck]')"" tabindex=""-1"">" & getCurrentIcon(strIconSmileYuck,"Yuck!! [yuck]","") & "</a></td>" & vbNewLine & _
" </tr>" & vbNewLine & _
" </table>" & vbNewLine
A different size would mess up the look of the table as it is now ( depends on how much of a change I guess)
The Smilies Manager Plus mod deals with sizes somewhat. It's a nice mod.
Hope this helps |
