I'm using Snitz Forum V3.4.05 with a MySql DB
I installed and implemented SmileManager Plus without a problem. Every thing went smoothly until I tried to upload custom smileys.
The SmileManager Plus Admin asks for the smiley code.
The smilies I have are ones I saved as GIFs from my photobucket account...no code.
I went into inc_func_common and added (what I thought) was a proper code for my custom smilie, and uploaded the gifs into my directory.
However, when I try to update the smilie list in the SmileManagerPlus Admin I get one of two results: the dreaded red X where the smilie should be, or nothing at all. (The entire smilie line disappears from the smile list.)
Obviously my code for the smile is wrong.
Because these smilies didn't "come with" code, how do I create it? I was under the impresson that I could rewrite the [] code for each smilie in inc_func_common and all would be good.
For example, for this smilie  I did this:
fString = replace(fString, "[:kgfu:]", getCurrentIcon(strIconSmileKungfu,"","align=""middle"""))
The result was an error that buggered up the whole site. I changed [:kgfu:] to [;/] and the whole smilie line disappeared from the SmileList.
Is it possible to create the code for custom smilies...and where have I gone wrong?
Thanks for your help!

I re-read the code again and realized that I should not have put brackets around the smiley code. Replaced the brackets with a space on each side of the :kgfu: and the smilies are now showing up in the Smile Manager Admin and on the smilie list window when making a reply...
BUT, always a but, when the reply is posted the code shows, NOT the .GIF
Any suggestion would be deeply appreciated! |

Either everyone else knows the incredibly simple solution to this and is just seeing if I'll figure it out myself...or I've stumped the board. (I'm betting on the first option.)

I still haven't figured out how to get the smilies to appear in posts as they should and not the code form, so I decided to try a sneaky fix. It's backfired too.
I've been renaming my smilies under the default smilie names, just deleting the default smilies from the directory and changing the description in the Smile Manager Admin. It works, kinda. The smilies do show up in posts now, but they're 15 x 15 pixels, regardless of the colspan setting I use. Incredibly tiny, nearly impossible to see, completely useless as smilies.
What am I doing wrong???
Once again, thanks for your help, and any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Still working on the smilies...still not making any headway.
Anyone want to throw me a bone?
How do I add new smilies and get them to successfully show up in posts?
Thanks for any and all help! |

Muse: I feel your pain...well okay, frustration!
Might I suggest first that you undo all the editting changes that you made to inc_func_common.asp.
If you made a backup of inc_func_common,(before edits) then replace the existing with the backup copy.
As you know, SmileymanagerPlus is an admin panel control in admin options.
It allows you to simply upload all the custom smileys to your images folder and then create the format code in the manager without the need to edit any files!
For example code means [:-blahblah]
Can be anything you'd like as long as it is between brackets!
You'll need to make a note of each individual custom smiley names and insert the complete name in "FileName" box provided.
As shown below!
Step One: Upload smilies to images folder
Step Two: Add smilies (code/name/description) one by one in the smilemanager.
Hope that helps! |

Whobeedat, thank you so much for your help. I'm still not getting the results that I desire (the smilies showing up in posts...) but I'm closer thanks to you!
I removed the editing from inc_func_common, and have uploaded the new smilies into my images folder. I entered the file name and added the [code] in the proper place. I've changed the colspan to the appropriate setting for larger smilies. However, I'm still hitting a brick wall. The smilies show up in the smilie manager, they also appear in the smilie window...but when I try to use a smilie in a reply, all that shows up is the bracketed code.
Still working on it...LOL
Thank you again. |

Finally figured it out...and perhaps I'm taking the l o n g way around, but I've finally done something that's working. LOL
I edited inc.func.common to include the new smilie, and also edited inc.iconfiles and voila! I have custom smilies.
Thank you again Whobeedat for the help! |
