DPK ~ I was hoping you would respond, clarifying why the manual install instructions for this mod do not match the standard installed code. Since you did not respond, I will... You have the manual install instructions named backwards in your zip. Please correct and update the download file. Thanks

Hello,

I installed the mod (manually), and when i try to post a message i get the following error :

/:???:/: nested *?+ in regexp at /home2/hispatol/public_html/foros/ubb_lib.cgi line 196.


The line 196 on my ubb_lib.cgi is :

$_[0] =~ s/$smchar/ /sg;

If i comment the line it works fine, but then, in the message, instead of displaying the smilie, it displays the code ("cool" instead of the smilie, replace the " for

What's going on???

Thanks

Lucas, from Spain

i dont think so, please make sure you are using the right install files. i have installed this mod on several boards myself and it works to my knowledge thus far.

add after:

Basically, if you have a character that conflicts that you want to use. Just add a new $smchar line in that area with the char.

Emperado, if this doesnt work, pm me your vars_smilie.cgi file contents and I'll take a lookee.

I just had an idea. Instead of having a separate list for "instant graemlins", why not just hyperlink the "message icons", so they work like "instant graemlins". That way, you can use all your icons without having them in 2 separate lists.

I tried to install it using the MultiHack files, but everytime i try to import them i get an error saying "This file does not appear to be a valid MHX or MHP file, import aborted"

I was just wondering if i was the only one getting these errors . . .?

1. Check to make sure you have the latest multihack version.
2. SmilieMod 1.1 will be out by Sunday with updated files, install fixes, and maybe something else. Dunno yet if I feel like adding something new.

dietalk: i'm not quite sure i get what you are saying.

As my english is not the best I am working with pics :



I added the hack and some smilies and they are shown like above in the list.

1) Is it possible to have the correct size of each smilie ?
2) Why they do not animate in the preview ?

[edit]I can't help you because your "Ultimate Bulletin Board 6.04b" wording is invisible.[/edit]

For the smilies list this is what I am getting. Any ideas on how to fix it, please? The hack works perfctly, it's just this part of it that seems off. Thanks!

MZ: fix ure ubb's copyright and we'll answer your questions.

Ellen: others have reported the same problem and i will look into it and tell what i find. i think i know why.

Awesome hack, DPK. I have 250 or so smilies and the new drop-down box feature (barring the last version I was using was 0.3 -_-) is great. My users love it. I love it also because adding all the smilies was as easy as clicking the add button on the load smilies directory page.

FIXED.

But I dont check out why this should be so important.

a) Users must not know it.
b) I know it anyway.
c) YOU also...


ok, but maybe you can help me now with my prob

With the error I reported yesterday, here's some more information. It only occurs after those smilies named like 1.gif, 2.gif, etc. If they are named something like "cutesmilie.gif" there is no error, and if it is named 32.gif or a two digit name there is no error. That should help you narrow it down, and thanks for acknowledging my post.

MZ:

1. To make the size of your smilies their normal sizes, goto the cp section for smilies and then advanced smilie settings. Change the width and height settings for smilies to 0 and then hit submit.
2. The reason that the smilies stop animating after you click them is a browser issue with javascript. It is not really avoidable as of yet. I think in IE6 it does work though. I have xp pro beta running at home, I'll check after I get off work.

Wow!

First, I just went through this entire thread, and I have to say that it is most enlightening to watch a hack develop from its infancy to adulthood.

Now, I have a couple questions.

• This is a "duh!" question :-) -- this smilie hack, is it for the "message icons" or for the "Instant Graemlins"? I honestly don't know because I kept seeing the two mixed together in the different posts;
• If I have other hacks installed in my UBB, will installing this hack affect them?
• When you install these hacks, do you do so on an operating board -- or do most of you have a "test board" up and running?

I'm beginning to think that I should create a test board so that I can try out some of these other hacks before installing them to my current board.

Oh, I have one other question -- maybe a little off topic -- if I try to place more than 8 images in a post, I receive a message saying that I cannot do this. Once, I was using AOL's browser when this happened, and when I clicked on the back button, my entire post was gone.

Is there a good reason for the 8 images per post; is there any way to adjust it?

Thanks!

ADWOFF:

1. It's for the graemlins.
2. It shouldn't affect other installed hacks.
3. It is your decision whether or not to install this mod on an existing or a test board. If you want to be safe, try a test board.
4. There is a mod that you can use to disable or increase the image limit of the ubb. You can find it here .

Thanks for the reply, DPK.

I have another question regarding test boards; is there anyone out there who has set-up a test board for UBB sites to go and check out these MODs?

I read so many of these hacks, and before attempting to add them to my board, I'd love to see them in action. I don't want to sign up for messageboards just to see the hacks in action. Know what I mean?

Thanks!

I just finished installing the hack and it works great, but I have one question. Where can I add new smilies? I checked my control panel and could find anything. Thanks.

i get an error whenever i go to my ubb right after i installed this hack... can u plz help me http://ai.master-ball.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi
oh nevermind i cleared it up myself and now everythings works great!

[ June 29, 2001 02:02 PM: Message edited by: Raikou ]

I THINK I'm getting a JavaScript error with it. Dog-gone IE 6.0...

About 60% of the time when I go to click a smiley from the instant graemlin box, an error pops up.

It says: A runtime error has occured, Do you wish to debug? Line 0 unexpected function.

AND...whenever I click one, they ALL stop moving...

Sorry if this has been addressed before... i noticed that the custom titles are not reported correctly in the various "profile" screens (your own and others' profile). I used this little hack to correct this:

##### in ubb_lib.cgi (cgi-bin dir) find:

sub CustomTitle {
local($custom_title);

if ($_[0] eq 'Administrator') {
$custom_title = "$vars_misc{AdminTitle}";
}
elsif ($_[0] eq 'Moderator') {
$custom_title = "$vars_misc{ModeratorTitle}";
}
elsif ($_[0] eq 'Member') {
$custom_title = "$vars_misc{MemberTitle}";
} elsif ($_[0] eq 'Junior Member') {
$custom_title = "$vars_misc{JrMemberTitle}";
}

return($custom_title);
} # end customer title sr

### change that to:

sub CustomTitle {
local($star_status);

if ($_[0] eq "Administrator") {
$star_status = "$vars_misc{AdminTitle}";
} elsif ($_[0] eq "Moderator") {
$star_status = "$vars_misc{ModeratorTitle}";
} else {
$star_status = "$vars_misc{NewbieTitle}";

if ($_[1] > $vars_misc{JrMemberPosts}) {
$star_status = "$vars_misc{JrMemberTitle}";
}
if ($_[1] > $vars_misc{MemberMinimum}) {
$star_status = "$vars_misc{MemberTitle}";
}
if ($_[1] > $vars_misc{Member1Posts}) {
$star_status = "$vars_misc{Member1Title}";
}
if ($_[1] > $vars_misc{Member2Posts}) {
$star_status = "$vars_misc{Member2Title}";
}
if ($_[1] > $vars_misc{Member3Posts}) {
$star_status = "$vars_misc{Member3Title}";
}
if ($_[1] > $vars_misc{Member4Posts}) {
$star_status = "$vars_misc{Member4Title}";
}
if ($_[1] > $vars_misc{Member5Posts}) {
$star_status = "$vars_misc{Member5Title}";
}

}

return ($star_status);
} #end hack

##### in: cp_users.cgi,ubb_lib_posting.cgi,ubb_pm.cgi,ubb_profile.cgi (all in cgi-bin)

##find:
&CustomTitle($user_profile[8]);

###change that to:
&CustomTitle($user_profile[8],$user_profile[7]);

#end

Hope this helps...
btw, compliments on this beautiful hack, my users LOVE it

Make sure you modified the cp templates and added the Smilie Options to the first dropdown box.

Swannz, great, but I'm not sure what this has to do with this? hehe

ahahahahha, sorry guy, i replied to the wrong topic!

shame on me

yo peepz...
I've recently installed this smilie mod (1.0)
and it seems that there is a problem.
When i post something i get this error:
When I look at line 197 of ubb_lib.cgi, i see this line:
Could anyone tell me what happenned here and what the solution would be?...

I'm running UBB 6.04f on Unix

Thank you!

eGo2000

One of your smilies has illegal characters.

ouch..
now you made yourself clear...

would it be charachters like these:
|
*
~
?
+
etc. etc ??

Is there any way i can use these without getting an error?...

eGo: An answer to your problem is located here .

w00t!..
tnx...
So.. when is 1.1 coming out?...

soon, i just found a new host and am in the process of getting a domain setup there for my stuff. this is important for a reason that smiliemod 1.1 will introduce a new feature that i hope everyone will love.

i guess this mod isnt final afterall

Cant wait

hey DPK,
i'm still having troubles tough with some of my smilies:

One of them should look like this: > : ) (<-- had to seperate or else UBBdev.com would mess it up)
but instead; UBB posts it like this: >

I added the required fields im ubb_lib.cgi
as described on page 12 of this topic

But it still messes up..

Oh yeah: here's a view of vars_smile.cgi:


(Then again.. I had to seperate some smilies here (i'm talking about devil.gif/puh2.gif/frusty.gif))
Tnx in advance...

Will it be available in MultiHack for us lazy people that want to have our cake and eat it too?

Sorry. I was retaded and totally didn't see that from the pull down. I was looking on the wrong one. Works GREAT! Nice job!

Hey DPK this is just FYI but i know where there are all sorts of Graemlins. These are some you might wanna add or even update because they are cleaner images than the ones you Have.

Go Here LINK

I am a member of the messageboard where these Smilies are hehe I hope you Like

[ July 04, 2001 10:38 AM: Message edited by: KLoWn ]

Both Links don't work!!!!

eGo: Reason is that you have the smilie before the >:) smilie. Switch the two around in your settings and it should display right. When the smilies on your forum are converted from text -> images, it sees the first and converts it before it gets down to >:). If that makes sense.

snip1er: Working on it, sorry for the delay.

* Sir Wayne *: Site is undergoing dns changes. Bear with me. I'll get my files up somewhere else if dns takes too long.

I fixed my own problem listed below:


Turns out it was a hack I installed which added the HIDE message box in the New Topic page.... I removed it's code from the Page Header, and poof, problem solved.

[ July 14, 2001 05:15 PM: Message edited by: humble [ThC] ]

odd, when i did it i lost my UBB code tag thingys, ya know, the buttons for the URL tags and stuff, there GONE!!

i installed the heack, and my forum was working perfect for a day, so i decided to add some smilies, and well... since i did that no one can post or add new topics.. i get this error

Software error:
/:/: trailing in regexp at ubb_lib.cgi line 197.

-------------EDIT------------------

oh.. nm.. i just realized i added a smilie where the key shortcut was
btw... dont try and do that

[ July 06, 2001 08:55 PM: Message edited by: Bookie - ]

Try this Loads of Smilies .

It's the link to a zip which contains all the smilies they got there. The site is in German tho.

Regards,

Jackson

I saw a different mod where the smilies open in a separate window so you can collect hundreds of them. What is the max number of you can insert with this mod before it starts to make the post page look odd?

Here there is also a popup window. You can choose to show the "Instant Graemlins" part like a dropdown field, and there will also be a link to the popup window.

DPK..I noticed that there is a minor bug in this program..It's only a visual one and only noticable to the control panel users..

Here it is: First of all I upped a lot of smilies to my smilie folder..I then selected all smilies to be added..Later in the week I upped more smilies that I found and liked into that same directory and this is what I viewed after clicking the "View Smilie Directory" link in the CP: Notice the blue bars marked yes..What is causing this??? I also noticed that when upping more smilies and then adding them to the smilie list, the new new smilies are added at the bottom of the list rather than in alphabetical order..This screws up the alphabetical order of the smilies verytime you up more smilies and add them to the list..
I can live with this little quirk but it would be nice to see in alphabetical order..

Another feature that would be nice is a resizable popup box rather than the fixed size that you have now..Most smilies are not well visible if filenames are long..

Here is a nice thing to know if anyone would like to resize the smilie popup box:

********Open public_common.pl (template)

********Look for:

window.open('$vars_config{CGIURL}/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=smilie_legend', 'smlegend', 'scrollbars,width=220,height=400,left=200,top=200')
---------------------------------------------
Change the 'width=220' value and the 'height=400' value to anything you want..I used 280 for both width & height values..This works real good for me...
---------------------------------------------

********Replace with this:

window.open('$vars_config{CGIURL}/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=smilie_legend', 'smlegend', 'scrollbars,width=280,height=280,left=200,top=200')

Never mind DPK.. I figured out how to get rid of the blue 'yes' bars..I simply deleted all smilies from the list and then later added all of them again from the 'Check Smilie Directory' link..This not only got rid of the blue 'yes' bars but also put "all" smilies back in alphabetical order again..Now that was easy

Okay, I have the 1.5.2 Multihack, and on two different machines I get the same error, doe's not appear to be valid.....

What else can be causing this error? This is the only hack that does this.

SmilieMod v1.1 has this problem and numerous others fixed. I am sorry that it will not be released yet due to my inability to allocate a place for my crap.

#1. Nice quick fix!, i'm doing the same!

#2. You beat me to it! 8)

Thanks!

Hey, DPK, how about something along the lines of 'categories' for smilies?

I want to add a lot of smilies, but am worried slightly since it will be a mess for people to go through around 2-300 smilies looking for one.

I want to add as many smilies as possible, even pokemon or other stuff, even if people dont want to use them, there is still an option

Y'know how you can bring up a pop up window?
I'm wondering if that can have links to other folders (categories) within the smilies folder, defined within the CP.
Also, if the pop up window can be resized by the user that'd be great, thx

sweet i was looking for it

The smilies won't show up in signatures instead of the code ; ) (No space to avoid this board convert to graemlins).. or did i missed out some codes

btw i used multihack files to install

Update: SmilieMod v1.1 will be released shortly for ubb 6.0 boards. After that, SmilieMod v1.2 will be coded to work for ubb 6.1 boards and higher only, building off of InfoPops smilie adding code for 6.1.

Cheers Til Later,
DPK

I installed the mod manually and it all seemed to work fine but when the post reply button is pressed i get this error message...

Undefined subroutine &main::SM_smilie called at /home/public_html/cgi-bin/ubb/noncgi/Templates/public_new_reply_form.pl line 7.

what have i missed or done wrong?



it's all good... i started from scratch and worked it out, N/M.

Any ETA on the v1.1?

should be out tonight. im doing the multihack and scripthack wizard files for it now.

Hehe, there was me just opening up Notepad to install this, little did I know the next version is to be released soon.
I guess I'll wait then, Smilie Mod v1.1 shall rule.

There we go, v1.1 released.

v1.2 will have some of the newer ideas I wanted to do in it for ubb 6.1. All my efforts will now goto ubb 6.1 mod development.

Thank you DPK, great job" I'ma go install it now

DPK, what's new in this version?

This version installed without a single hitch!!!!!

Thanks for all your work!

Does anybody have a board where I can actually see an example of this hack working?

Everybody seems to have 'registered' users required and I just want to get a look at how it integrates without that crap =).

Hi there. Having a problem with the smilies being displayed in the instant graemlins section. They are all fine except one displays es/null.gif" border="0">ck="DoSmilie(' :zx11pissed: ');">

I assume thats a html error somewhere, perhaps it should be .... "smilies/null.gif".... etc etc..., so it looks like ive done a carriage return somewhere and sent half of a line of code to the next line.

Any ideas where I can fix this? I've had a look and can't find the string anywhere...

www.netwerkin.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi

mod_wordlets_install.cgi requires that you have UBB v6.1. Shouldn't this be moved to the 6.1 hacks section if that is the case?

XPerT,

Already tried your forum, it's registration only again. Need one that allows un-registered members to post.

i think i got a lil prob here with the hack.....i installed it all right but when i went to reply to a topic to test it this is what i get

Software error:
Undefined subroutine &main::SM_smilie called at /home/szlegacy/public_html/ac/ubb/Templates/public_new_reply_form.pl line 7.

any idea whats wrong i really would like some help thanks in advance

Zip fixed and updated. I think my mind was just friend by the heat around here. Have no idea why I included a 6.1 based wordlet system for a 6.0 based mod. Ah well, its fixed now and the universe is appeased.... for now.

Thanx rinkrat for pointing that out or I wouldn't have known.

That won't work? You can also just goto dpk.b000.net and click the download link for the mod.

seems to be down man ... anywhere else i could grab it ???

There might be another database somewhere that has it for download, but as far as I know there isnt. I dont publically distribute my mods to other sites.

My downloads were pulled by my host due to an issue with infopop that is currently being discussed. Hopefully I will have an answer to it sometime today and I can get the files back up. Until then just wait I guess. I am sorry for any problems I caused.

man , i downloaded the updated zip , i still get the 6.1 wordlet installation system , ????

The link to the zip file does work,and it doesn't.If you are using something like download accelerator it won't get it,you will probably have to bypass it by pressing 'ALT' and clicking the link.

The logical reason is that when my host deleted my site about a week or so ago, they deleted the zip. Now, when I reuploaded my site I uploaded the old zip. I apologize. It is fixed.... again.

Hi Guyz!!

I've installed smilie mod v1.0 and avatar hack 0.00007e and recently having a small problem with smilies showing up in quotes.For eg: is being shown rather than the picture itself.

(Ok..i solved the problem by enabling HTML in the forum settings in control panel.
However, is there anyway i could disable html and yet have the picture over there using ubb codes? i.e when members press quote, ubb code would be chosen instead of a html link)

I was hoping someone would know and help me get around it..

Thanks a lot!!

Well hack is working great got tons of smilies now BUT.. i am missing the Instant UBB code buttons below the topic window not sure why as i did install the hack from the readme titled "smiliemod_ubbcodebuttons_install" and to go even further it has this warning inside readme at the top i have allready searched this topic for an answer yet every time this problem is brought up its just thrown aside by someone stateing "read the manual" or something so if there is any help to this problem i have reinstalled twice now and just getting worn on it here is what the new reply, new topic, and edit post templates look like as of right now go have a look i am clueless HERE IS LINK thanx.

does anyone know how to organize the smilies alphabetically after uploading a few batches?

The same "dissappearing ubb code buttons" thing happened to me too, please help!
thanks!

Fonz: the quickest way to make them all sorted by a->z would be to in the cp remove all the smilies and then reload them all. They will be sorted.

inkfreak & bloggerman: you installed smiliemod using the wrong file. there is a mod called UBBCodebuttons. the ubbcodebuttons install file is for boards that have that mod installed. this is the reason that your buttons have vanished.

oh shoot... how can I get them back?

please?

Woa, the redesign is sweet

The same "dissappearing ubb code buttons" thing happened to me too, please help!
thanks!

ok oke

if you installed the mod wrong and have now lost your instant ubb code buttons, open up public_common.pl and find:

sub SM_instant { # code in here # }

...block of code. Now open up smiliemod_install.txt and find the block of code:

sub SM_instant { # code in here # }

...and insert it where your old SM_instant block of code was in public_common.pl. This should fix the problem you are having. I think.

Ah, it worked! Except, I think the sections for that portion of the code got switched around!

hi this is a great hack, but im having a little prob. everything goes great with the hack i have the options in the cp to upload new smiles what smiles i have in the folder and i can see them, but when i go to the board andf post neither the link or the drop down menu is there the origional smiles are still there but nothing else. im running xp is there an issue that i can't see .

Have you added the smilies in the CP? Double check you have.
