How do I add more smiles?

[gazon_zaseyan]

Hi,
I want to add and remove couple of smiles on my photoalbum (the commenting part).

So I uploaded smiles (.gif files) in smile directory, what do I do next? which file do I need to edit to add, change or remove smiles?

Thank you.

Hi, you need to edit the file smilies.inc.php, which is in the include folder.

Find this code,

Code Select Expand

function get_smilies_table1()
{
    global $lang_smilies_inc_php;

    return array(

and add your own smilies to the array.  There is no need to comment out the existing one you are deleting, unless they have the same name as one of your smilies.

example;

Code Select Expand

array(':pony:', 'pony.gif', $lang_smilies_inc_php['pony']),


Now find the 2nd array, starting with this code;

Code Select Expand

function get_smilies_table2()
{
    global $lang_smilies_inc_php;

    return array(

First comment out the smilies you don't want any more, witha double slash // at the start of the line.

Now add your own, example;

Code Select Expand

//array(':kiss:', 'kiss.gif', $lang_smilies_inc_php['kiss']),
  array(':pony:', 'pony.gif', $lang_smilies_inc_php['pony']),

If you are keeping it at the same number of smilies, that's it.

But if you are increasing the number of smilies, there is one more change.
Find this code;

Code Select Expand

foreach($smilies as $smiley) {
        $caption = $smiley[2] . " " . $smiley[0];
        $html .= '                <td width="5%"><a href="javascript:emoticon_' . $form . '(\'' . $smiley[0] . '\')"><img src="images/smiles/' . $smiley[1] . '" alt="' . $caption . '" width="15" height="15" border="0" title="' . $caption . '"></a></td>' . "\n";
    }

and change the  <td width="5%"> to <td>.  

Thats it, you can get about 30 smilies on the line without it getting too crowded.

I havn't been able to get a 2nd line of smilies, which is what I wanted.

Hi,
To add more than one row of smileys replace the old foreach with this:

Code Select Expand


$Cnt = "0";
$Row = "18";
foreach($smilies as $smiley) {
if ($Cnt % $Row == "0" && $Cnt != "0") { $html .= '</tr><tr align="center" valign="middle">'; }

$caption = $smiley[2] . " " . $smiley[0];

$html .= '<td width="5%"><a href="javascript:emoticon_' . $form . '(\'' .
$smiley[0] . '\')"><img src="images/smiles/' . $smiley[1] . '" alt="' .
$caption . '" border="0" title="' . $caption . '"></a></td>' . "\n";
       
$Cnt++;
}


$Row = number of pics per row

Currently if you add smilies that are more than 15 pixels wide - you get a distorted smiley image - it works fine - but looks bad.  How can you set the formatting so it will handle images of a size such as 15 pixels high by 30 pixels wide?

I find it works fine for my smilies, because I have reduced the number of smilies per row, and changing this code;

Code Select Expand

<td width="5%">

You will need to experiment a little to get it right for your smilies.  Start by trying with 7%, with 14 per row.
