SMF1.1:Smileys and Message Icons

Smiley Sets

Here you will see the listing of every smiley set you have installed on your forum.

On this page you will see:

In the first column, a * is put next to the set that is used as your forums default smiley set. The next column you will see the name of the smiley set. Next to that you will see the url to the smiley set's folder on your server. And beside that you will see a modify button. You will also notice a checkbox next to each smiley set where you can delete the smiley set from your forums. Please note, you can not delete the default smiley set

When you click on the modify button, you can edit the name of the smiley set and whether it is the default smiley set used on your forums.

In the last column, there are checkboxes for each smiley set listed. You can check any smiley sets you want and click the "Delete selected" button at the bottom of the page if you wish to delete any smiley sets.

Next to the delete button, there is a New Smiley Set button. Upon clicking this button, you are taking to a new page where you can add a new smiley set to your forum by filling out certain details.

Name - The name you wish to give to the smiley set.
URL - The URL of where the smiley set is located. Notice that the smileys directory is already inputted in for you, so you just need to use the dropdown at the end to select the directory name of the smiley set. All smiley sets that are already being used are grayed out and are not selectable.
Default Smiley Set - Checking this will make the smiley set you are about to add, the default smiley set on your forum.
Import smileys already in this directory - Checking this will import all image files already in the directory into the actual smiley set. The smileys will be stored in the database. This is all you can do on this page. If you want to add smileys to a set, edit their code, placement order, places they are displayed (ex. On Post screen, pop-up or hidden) you need to enable Enable customized smileys on the Settings page of the smiley section.

Add Smiley

In the Add Smiley page of the Category:Smileys and Message Icons section of the Category:Administration Panel, you will be able to add smileys to your forum.

There are two boxes for uploading and controlling the settings of the smiley you are about to add.

The first box titled Image Source has two options:

Use Existing File - Where you select the smiley set the smiley has been uploaded to and the filename of the smiley.
Upload New Smiley -Where you can upload a new smiley from your local computer by clicking "Browse" and finding the smiley you wish to add on your computer. You can also check "Same image for all sets" if you would like the same smiley to be added to every smiley set on your forum.

The second box, titled Add new smiley contains:

Code - Enter here the code you wish to be typed in for the smiley to be shown in a post.
Tooltip or description - Enter the description of the smiley so when a mouse hovers over it it will show it.
Location - Choose from "Post form", which will show a clickable smiley right on the posting screen. "Hidden", which will not show the smiley anywhere but instead can only be used when the smileys code is typed in. "Popup", which will show the smiley in a popup box if the user clicks on the link for additional smileys.
