Extra smiley sets can be added by using the Package Manager, or you can add them manually.

Multiple Smiley Sets: Avoiding Problems If you install more than one smiley set, it is advisable to make sure that each set contains graphics files with exactly the same names. This is because if some of your members are using different sets of smileys, they will not see each other's smileys if the files do not have the same names. Alternatively, if one image appears in one set, but not the other, they will encounter broken smileys. |
Adding a Smiley Set Using the Package Manager
The Package Manager can be used to add smiley sets to your forum. This works in the same way as when you add mods.
If you want to add smileys to a set, edit their code, placement order, or the places where they are displayed, for example on the post screen, as a pop-up, or hidden you need to check Enable customized smileys on the Settings page of the smiley section.
Adding a Smiley Set by Creating a Directory
The other way to add a smiley set is to create a directory inside your forum's "Smileys" directory. First, give it the name that you want it to have, then upload all the actual graphic files for your smileys into that directory.
Next, go to Admin > Smileys and Message Icons > Smiley Sets and click on Add Smiley. and there you will find the option "upload new smiley" in "Image Source" Section. you will have to upload a smiley from your computer, then below there in "Add New Smiley" section you will see 3 boxes 1. "code" put your smiley's code there u can use :smileyname: and 2."tool-tip/Description" write a description for your smiley there 3."Location" set your smiley's location there either post form, hidden or popup section.
Check the box "save images for all sets" if you want the smiley to be implemented in every set' and, "if you want to make this set your forum's default set, check the box labelled Default smiley set:.
When you click Save changes, your new smiley set should be recognised and installed.
