I would like to be able to add, change and delete smileys. There is a mention of it in the mod completed forum but the link to it is broken.

http://forum.snitz.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=17899

Does anyone know where I can find it and is that the best one to use? I don't see it on snitzbitz or should I say I can't find it there. Thank you!

Below is a brief tutorial I did that covers some of the tasks you can accomplish in the Smile Manager Plus. Please refer to the graphic for the tutorial.




1. To change member settings do the following.
  • In the graphic above. . .to the left of arrow # 1 you'll see where it says, "Allow members to create their own custom smile lists." Make your choice (refer to where arrow # 1 is pointing) and click on the "Update" button (refer to where arrow # 2 is pointing).

  • In the next window where you see "Member settings updated successfully" click on the "click here to continue" to return to the Smile Manager Plus.


2. To add a smiley do the following.
  • Type the code (whatever code you'd like to use. . .can be anything but should be short) in the "Code" column (refer to where arrow # 3 is pointing; for an example refer to where arrow # 4 is pointing).

  • Type the "URL of your smiley graphic" in the "File Name" column (refer to where arrow # 5 is pointing; for an example refer to where arrow # 6 is pointing).

  • Type a brief description of your smiley in the "Description" column (refer to where arrow # 7 is pointing; for an example refer to where arrow # 8 is pointing).

  • To make your new smiley display for members to see in the area where they type their message, remove the check mark in the "Visible" column (refer to where arrow # 9 is pointing).

  • Click on the "Add" button (refer to where arrow # 10 is pointing).

  • In the next window where you see "Smile added successfully" click on the "click here to continue" to return to the Smile Manager Plus.

  • Repeat above steps to add additional smiley graphics.



3. To delete a smiley do the following.
  • Place a check mark in the appropriate place to the far right of the smiley you wish to remove in the "Delete" column (refer to where arrow # 11 is pointing).

  • Scroll down and click on the "Update Smile List" button (refer to where arrow # 12 is pointing).

  • In the next window where you see "Smile list updated successfully" click on the "click here to continue" to return to the Smile Manager Plus.

  • Repeat above steps to delete any additional smiley graphics.



Hope this helps!

There seems to be an error in the installation instructions.

inc_smilies.asp indicates there is one change to make but the commented lines where the change is are missing:


'############# SmileManager Plus MOD ################

'####################################################

"inc_smilies.asp"


Look for the following lines (appx 39-45):

Response.Write	"                      <script language=""Javascript"" type=""text/javascript"">" & vbNewLine & _
	"                      <!-- hide" & vbNewLine & _
   	"                      function insertsmilie(smilieface) {" & vbNewLine & _
	"                      		AddText(smilieface);" & vbNewLine & _
	"                      }" & vbNewLine & _
	"                      // -->" & vbNewLine & _
	"                      </script>" & vbNewLine & _

Replace them with these:

Response.Write	"                      <script language=""Javascript"" type=""text/javascript"">" & vbNewLine & _
	"                      <!-- hide" & vbNewLine & _
	"                      function insertsmilie(smilieface) {" & vbNewLine & _
	"                      		If (document.PostTopic.Message.createTextRange && document.PostTopic.Message.caretPos) {" & vbNewLine & _
	"                      			var caretPos = document.PostTopic.Message.caretPos;" & vbNewLine & _
	"                      			caretPos.text = caretPos.text.charAt(caretPos.text.length - 1) == ' ' ? smilieface + ' ' : smilieface;" & vbNewLine & _
	"                      			document.PostTopic.Message.focus();" & vbNewLine & _
	"                      		} Else {" & vbNewLine & _
	"                      			document.PostTopic.Message.value+=smilieface;" & vbNewLine & _
	"                      			document.PostTopic.Message.focus();" & vbNewLine & _
	"                      		}" & vbNewLine & _
	"                      }" & vbNewLine & _
	"                      // -->" & vbNewLine & _
	"                      </script>" & vbNewLine & _

Sorry, I'm a little confused. I have a table with code after the code you told me to replace that are not in the new inc_smilies.asp file. Do I leave this code table alone? This is just part of the code...
Thanks!

</script>" & vbNewLine & _
		"                      <table width=""100%"" border=""0"" cellspacing=""0"" cellpadding=""2"" align=""center"">" & vbNewLine & _
		"                        <tr align=""center"">" & vbNewLine & _
		"                          <td align=""center"" colspan=""4""><a name=""smilies""></a><font face=""" & strDefaultFontFace & """ size=""" & strFooterFontSize & """><b>Smilies</b></font></td>" & vbNewLine & _
		"                        </tr>" & vbNewLine & _
		"                        <tr align=""center"" valign=""middle"">" & vbNewLine & _
		"                          <td><a href=""Javascript:insertsmilie('')"" tabindex=""-1"">" & getCurrentIcon(strIconSmile,"Smile ","") & "</a></td>" & vbNewLine & _

		"                          <td><a href=""Javascript:insertsmilie('')"" tabindex=""-1"">" & getCurrentIcon(strIconSmileBlush,"Blush ","") & "</a></td>" & vbNewLine & _
		"                        </tr>" & vbNewLine & _

I added a new smiley but I don't see it in the posting box. Any ideas what went wrong or what I'm not doing correctly. I have the SmileManager Plus Admin up OK but I can't seem to add any new smileys.
Appreciate any help or ideas.

Also, when I click on a smiley in the posting box, nothing happens.

Thank you!

Update on this, I am making some progress trying to fix it myself.

Turns out I had to use the entire "inc_smilies.asp" file which now allows me to add, change and delete smiles and they all show up in the posting box as I control it from the admin panel.

The only issue I am left with is that when I click on the smiley, the code doesn't show up in the posting window. I think I have this 95% installed OK at this point. Appreciate any help on this last snag. Thank you!

It's not the browser, it doesn't write the code in IE or Chrome.

Sounds like you missed a piece of code and/or didn't copy a file. Make sure you copied "pop_new_smiles.asp" to your forum and that you edited "inc_post_buttons.asp" properly.

Just checked.
"pop_new_smiles.asp" and it is there.

"inc_post_buttons.asp" has only 1 line to insert and I inserted it in the right place, re-did and checked it multiple times.

I have been working on this for 2 days now, I have checked, re-checked and double checked, everything is working properly except for one single thing. What file and what line of code controls clicking on the smile and inserting it? I'll start again tomorrow on a third day, file by file as I have done the past 2 days. If I can't get it working tomorrow, I'll have to roll back everything and kindly have to ask for the manual method to insert new smiles. Thank you for all the help, I really do appreciate the help.

That's done with "inc_smilies.asp" (called from within "post.asp")

OK, thanks, I will look at it again. Not sure I mentioned it but I have a brand new fresh 3.4.07 install I'm trying to do this with.

OK, I have edited the files for at least the fourth time and still the only issue I am left with is that when I click on the smiley, the code doesn't show up in the posting window. It will show up when I copy the shortcut code in brackets. Here is the screenshot of all the files in my forum directory:



Here are the edited text files with the new smile code. This is a fresh 3.4.07 install.

Just so you know I'm not nuts, I have been running an active snitz forum for 10+ years, installed many mods in the past and was a professional mainframe programmer for 20+ years. This has me stumped. Appreciate any help, I've spent way too much time on this. Thank you!
