UBB.Developers Forums UBB.classic V6.4 - 6.7 Modifications V6 Mod Ideas DPK's SmilieMod

I found that this works in 6.4

Name: DPK's SmilieMod.

Description: 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.

Cool beans! This will be one of the first hacks I install since my forum is so smilie crazy

pretty great, we have dozens of smilies and i urgently needed a solution before upgrading to 6.4 so i'm just waiting for someone testing the old 'message drop down'-hack and i'm gonna start the big upgrade.... wooha, that's really fantastic that the old smiliey-hack works on 6.4!

I've been using the Smilies mod since 6.05 but noticed since the 6.2x UBB versions you could only update one smilie at a time even with the mod. So rather than going into the CP I added multiple smilies via "vars_graemlins.cgi". There is another way to add more smilies (excluding drop down) without using the Smilie hack but some of its codes:

In public_common.pl find and delete:

Okay, I've been playing around with this for about a week now, and I still can't get it "right."

If anyone could just help me find the right set of code, I'm sure I can go from there (knock on wood).

This is the code I'm supposed to find (or similar to it) in the public_pm_form.pl, public_edit_post.pl, public_new_topic_form.pl, and public_new_reply_form.pl:

Try finding this instead:

Thanks, PrimeTime.

I'm a little closer now.

I still have two errors--one that I can ignore and the other that I have to try to fix.

The one error that I can ignore is that the Instant Graemlin box will still appear next to the Instant UBB Code box--despite not have any smilies within (and me requesting that it NOT be shown). I can live with that for now.

The other is a little more serious. It happens in the templates that allow for the dropdown menu--the PM, new topic, new reply, and edit post.

I receive a script error--it's looking for something called "document.REPLIER.smilie_dropdown"

I seem to recall this being an "issue" with the last upgrade I did, but of course, I cannot remember how to "fix" it.

The pulldown menu is there. The graphic DOES NOT appear next to it when you select one; however, if you click in the area where the smilie should be, you can get the smilie code to appear in the message area.

To see what I'm talking about, my test board is at http://adwoff.com/ubb-test/cgi/ultimatebb.cgi ... I set up an account called UBB ... its password is test64 ... if anyone wants to see what I'm talking about.

Thanks!

Change replier to REPLIER in public_common.pl I believe.

Um, would I change all the "repliers" or a specific one?

here you go, I'll post it in the beta forum later

Do you have one in .zip version?

Allen Ayres posted a Multi-Hack version in the 6.4 Beta hacks forum.

does this work w/ 6.5?

yes.

Thanks W/A, much appreciated.

Nice cover songs by the way.
