« on: May 18, 2007, 08:33:03 PM »
Only farmate is gif ONLY to upload "Smileys"

You need to found the smileys zipfiles or you can use yours own for this too.   

1 - Download the file on your computer and unzip that file to access all yours smileys. Log into your cpanel or ftp access you have. 
2 - Then go to File Manager its will bring you up to all yours folders for your forum or whatever you have.  You will need to go to public_html folder yours home root then go to the Smileys folder.  Its should look like this / public_html / Smileys /
3 - You will need to create a new folder in yours smileys folder. Name the folder custom for yours smileys. Then go in that folder and upload yours smileys in that folder you name. Its should look like this / public_html / Smileys / custom /
4 - Now you will need to log into you admin panel on your forum.  Go to Smileys and Message Icons in you panel on your forum.
5 - Its will bring you up to a screen right.  You will see "new smiley set" ??? Hit that its will bring you up to a screen you will need to fill out.

Here its should look like

Before you fill it out

[attachthumb=3]

After you fill it out

[attachthumb=2]

6 - After you fille that screen out hit save and its will bring you up too a screen look like this.

[attachthumb=1]

7 - Now go over to "Add Smiley " and hit it too.  Will bring you up to a screen asking to pick your smileys from a drop down mena box also you will see "Add new smiley" on the secenod part ??? That will ask you to put in a code for that smiley to use on the forum.  Plus its will ask you for that smiley "Location" and you will see a drop down mena box will three picks.

Last Part is Hit save changes

Remember dont use the same code over and over.  You can add lots of smiley set you want too.  You can have yahoo, msn, aol ect for their own folder too.

You could get the full install zip and extract the smilies and upload them after uninstalling the lots a smilies mod. That would get it back to normal.

 First uninstall the Lots of Smileys mod.

 SMF offer a package (not a mod) that contains the files etc you need to install a new forum...get that...extract the files from the package on your local machine and from those files find the smileys then upload them onto your server in the appropriate directory ...this will restore the smileys you deleted.

Go to ACP>Forum>Smileys and Message Icons>Settings

Make "Default" the default smiley set...check that the paths shown are correct and alter them if needed (in the Smiley Sets tab.)

Solved...several things were wrong:

  • Path to smileys incorrect.
  • Smileys directory name changed from Smileys to smileys
  • CHMOD settings incorrect

 There are a number of things I've seen that I'll bring to your attention via PM and that you ought to fix.
