Installing New Smiley Sets

There are two ways to install new smiley sets. You can either use the Package Manager; or upload it directly to your server.

Install a Smiley Set Using the Package Manager

The Package Manager can be used to install new smiley sets to your forum. This works in the same way as when you install new modifications.

Upload a Smiley Set Directly to the Server

The other way to add a smiley set is to create a new directory inside your "Smileys" server directory. First, give it the name that you want it to have, like "blue_smiley_set", for example. Then upload all the actual graphic files (primarily PNGs and/or GIFs probably) for your smileys, into that directory.

Next, go to Admin Center > Smileys and Message Icons > Smiley Sets and click on the New Smiley Set button in the bottom right corner. Type a name in the Name field; the logical choice being the same name as the directory you created, "blue_smiley_set" in this case. Click the dropdown menu for the URL field, and choose "blue_smiley_set".

When you click Save changes, your new smiley set should be recognised and installed.
