UBB.threads PHP Forum Software Community Forums UBB.threads Version 7/8 Support Making and adding smiles / graemlins

Hi everyone,

I am a Moderator on an official message board and our last admin has moved on and our new one is asking if any of us know how to make and / Or add more smilies / graemlins Well we don't so I wandered over here to ask if anyone knows to we can pass on the info.

We are using Version 7 orc1

Many Thanks

Should be able to add them to a folder on the server and then add them in the Control Panel

Would need Admin rights in the Control Panel to do it though, and rights to upload the files to the server.

You don't add them to the site that way.. you upload via CP, otherwise you get 'file exists' errors when adding new ones. a 'feature'

http://yoursite.com/forums/admin/graemlins_display.php?returntab=1

change 'yoursite.com' to your site
change '/forums' to whatever sub-dir your forums are in (ubbthreads?)

there is where you ADD new smileys

Thank you so much

Thanks SD

I added them one time but that was like 2 years ago for testing

You'll want to get your admin to upgrade too. 7.0 RC1 indicates Release Candidate 1. Beta. If the site is an "official" board for something it should be upgraded from a beta version of the product to a real production release.

lol @ David's Avatar.. that's a good one

and just another note, which i find a bit annoying. when you add a new graemlin and you have more than just the default directory under graemlins...

you will have to manually copy over the newly uploaded .gif, .png, .jpg

to the other directory(s).. ie: default_dark and whatever else.

otherwise, what you'll find out is that for styles which use the default directoy, all smileys will be honky dorry.. but if you use a theme that uses default_dark, the smileys will come up as broken images

[caveat]this is of course, unless i missed something[/caveat]
