##ADDED Graemlins to Quickreply Box.

##ADDED WHERE G_Active='1' for active Gramelins only

Thanks

you read my mind. I was hoping this was one of the first ones......

I see that showflat.tmpl and showthreaded.tmpl aren't included on the changed files list. Will this be updated to add the "More Graemlins" link to the new stock Quick Reply boxes?

[:"red"]NEW VERSION UPLOADED [/]

Now includes the quickreply.tmpl instructions

I guess I should have known that the quickreply is it's own template now that it's stock. Thanks

Im getting this error when I click on the "more grams" link in the quick reply and in the post or reply pages.

line 21 reads. "require ("includes/hack.inc.php");"

I dont have that file in my includes dir?

well then point it to main.inc.php instead.. we are tossing around the idea of making a standard hack.inc.php so we won't always have to change things.. so just point it to main.inc.php

My instant greamlins don't show up. I don't see a specific screen that says themes in the control panel. I do see a max greamlin list and have set it to 10.

Trying to setup a threadsdev user but can't verify my fake email account .. see the need for a mod.

ok threadsdev setup

The popup panel works when you find the dot below more greamlins.

I double checked the hack files and they met the instructions.

Where, in threads 6.5 is the option to change how many are shown. I cant find it in the control panel?

Okay Chaos its in Feature Settings in the admin panel right under the allow images/images in signatures.

about the graemlins not showing Smilesforu , mine was like that also until I set the above setting.

I tried updating greamlin settings in features... it changes them but still no greamlins.

stumped.
Looks like a language file problem but I don't see it.

working sweet.....

How would I go about making them load in multiple pages instead of one major page. the 56k'er are starting to complain that the page loads slow. If it would load like 20 on a page and have something like (1/2/3/4/5) on the bottom as pages they can click to view the other grams.....

well you would really need to rewrite this script to allow for multiple pages...

oh, nevermind then....

Imthinking about setting up something like here that has them listed in a section. then they can just use the image tag and put the location of the smiley.

yeah Josh modified well I think someone did it for him

Any one have a nice zipped collection of graemlins? And an easy way to bulk upload em?

Our graemlins

Ok I got a lot of em now. (Thanks all) is there a way to bulk load them into the database?

bump

6.5 makes bulk uploading easy.

how so?

I uploaded them to my graemlins directory but they don't show up in the list.. I have to add 1 at a time?

It would be nice if it were like the style sheets and saw every thing in the directory?! Then allow me to go thru and edit/delete & assign code. & order.

yeah one at a time.

K I managed to get a lot bulk loaded I am too tired to explain how I did it but I will come back later and do so

Also the panel is showing graemlins marked inactive!

Thanx OW updated file atachment had to add
WHERE G_Active='1'
so it only pulled active graemlins

Ok I what I did was this... I downloaded the contents of the w3t_Graemlins table to see how it is formatted. What I did then was upload all my files to the graemlin folder. Then I used my terminal app to capture a list of all the file names in that folder. I converted it and imported it into FileMaker. Then added some strings to recreate the necessary insert lines. for each of the 475 new graemlins. Then i exported the file and tweaked it a bit in bbedit. then backup my original. I uploaded the new file. It worked too well All 475 graemlins were there it took forever to see all of em in the CP so finally when it loaded i went through and deleted almost half as many were dups and or just vulgar or dumb.

But it isn't too terribly hard to do a bulk upload.

But now I need a way to delete all the unused graemlins in the folder that are not in the db? I thought the script would delete the graemlin like it does for the post icon? but I guess not.

Did anyone get the pop up page to be able to split into multiple pages. Would work if you have about 30 or 40 even 100 images that have to load in the popup. If it was able to display something like 20 per page (or whatever) and add 1|2|3|4| to the bottom to link the other pages.

just an Idea again

slight bump :-O

I've just tried doing this one, but when changing the ubbt.inc.php file, it wants me to find this code:

[]global $config,$myprefs,$thispath,$tempstyle,$ubbt_lang,$debug,$dbh,$user;[/]

Our file has it without $user; at the end, so I added it anyway. Once uploaded, I got this error:

[]Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_CLASS, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or '}' on line 3086[/]

please post the line you have in there in place.

This is the line I have in there:

[]global $config,$myprefs,$thispath,$tempstyle,$ubbt_lang,$debug,$dbh;[/]

I have various other modifications in place, so maybe this was changed when I installed them?

anmd that is line 3086? cause mine only goes up to 2171..
otherwise it looks fine? try changing the line back.. Does it still toss the same error?

It might have been 2086, come to think of it. I re-uploaded the original file, however, and the forum is back to normal without the modification. I will have another go at editing the file, and see if I still get the error

*edit* The line in question was this one:

[]class user {[/]

OK SG thanx

basically its just saying to change the line in the instant_ubbcode function

to
global $config,$myprefs,$thispath,$tempstyle,$ubbt_lang,$debug,$dbh,$user;

so look for the

function instant_ubbcode() {

and under that try this

global $theme,$config,$myprefs,$thispath,$tempstyle,$ubbt_lang,$debug,$dbh,$user;

in place of that global call you see..

let me know what happens and if ya want I can try it. thats the line I have on my server. But we may not have the same mods installed.

Hi Dave,

We've installed this mod and it works very well. We have one small problem though. The "More Graemlins" link has (it seems) appeared in a table header, with our table header background color. Also, the link is barely clickable - you have to get the mouse in a 1 pixel area at the bottom of the link text.

Any ideas?
