I've read almost all of the posts regarding smilies and though my problem is mentioned the solution escapes me. I hate to bring it up again:

I see the smilies selections when writing a post. In the posts all I have is: [img]/img/smilies/up.gif[/img]

Please help.

OK, it's fixed.
I had tried to remove the second include of addon_smilies2.php which was suggested, this broke things more in an unseen way. I also added the full url path to $main_url which is really the main problem.
After random tweaking and finally putting the $main_url back(http://www....) AND returning the include of addon_smilies2.php I finally have it working.
I'm confused on why the full url path is needed though.

I'm confused on why the full url path is needed though.

Because it's a web standard.

I had tried to remove the second include of addon_smilies2.php which was suggested - it's still very inclear for our team, what you guys are doing. Another kind of newbie mistake?.. I don't see README somewhere mentions you should put the code TWICE somewhere.

Hi all!

Well I have a serious problem. No matter what I do I can not get the smiley's to appear.

I am very frustrated.. (Of course..)

I have follow the instructions to the t. And my smilies dir is in the IMG folder.

Any help would be appreciated...

Well I have a serious problem - I already smiled reading this :-) There can not be a serious problem in such kind of kiddy addon...

Look at the main_post_form.code which you need to paste in templates/main_post_form.html... If you want smileys to appear, first make it sure it contains necessary HTML code :-D

Ok now I feel real dumb!

But why is there no reference of this process in the How To..?

Oh well.... working 100% now..

Thks! Paul

This is clearly described in how to. Look into ==NOTES== section.

Smilies HTML Snippet

Hello - just wondering how one utilizes the HTML snippet included with the Smilies pack.

It would be nice to have a guide to all characters or even a box that allows you to click the smilies and have it appear in your message.

Perhaps it does do this and I configured it wrong. Much thanks!

You should go and edit
main_post_form.html

And after the line

<input type=checkbox name=disbbcode>{$l_disableBbCode} <small> *<a href="{$indexphp}action=manual#bbcodes">{$l_whatIsIt}</a></small>

Add the HTML snippet there

Like this:
<input type=checkbox name=disbbcode>{$l_disableBbCode} <small> *<a href="{$indexphp}action=manual#bbcodes">{$l_whatIsIt}</a></small>

Thank you. It works now - I didn't know where to look...

While we're on this topic, does anyone know of any other sets of smilies, icons et al? Much thanks!

I took a set of smilies from Trillian (trillian.cc) and I've made a nice big set with them. There are also a thread somewhere with a lot of URL's for downloadable smilies.

The strange part is, that when I use them, they get inserted properly, but when they get displayed, it shows a strange URL, and not the smilie.

Is there a problem if the 'Smilie-code' has a '-' in it?

Funny smilies links:

I don't know what do you mean by '-' - everything we wrote ourselves is working.... so, we don't know what is happening with your modification :)

Well, MY modification looks like this (sorry for the extensive post).

For some reason it inserts the smilies correctly, but then when it displays them, it shows some strange code:
[img]httpXX/intranet.fribert.dk/php/minibb/img/smilies/10.gif[/img]

The XX is a field like 'picture not found'.

Any ideas?

Kenneth

Try to remove the smiley :/
