Admin > Ad Free & Upgrades - Purchase Custom Smiles Upgrade
In this guide you will learn how to add custom smiles to your forum.
Go to Admin > Smileys and Message Icons
Step 1:
a: Put a Checkmark in: Enable Customized Smileys
b. If you previously used a Photobucket Account as the Base Url for the smileys on your forum or if you used the url for the smileys you see here at the Support forum, you will need to return the Url back to Default. If you used the smf smileys also delete the smf smiley set on the Settings page. If you did neither click "Save Changes" and move on to Step 2.
To put the Base Url Back to Default:
In "Base URL to all smiley sets": Use http://text.smfforfree.com/Smileys
NOTE Replace text.smfforfree.com with YOUR forums url.
Click "Save Changes".
(https://www.smfsupport.com/support/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi148.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fs20%2Fsmfstyles%2Fsmileysbaseurl.gif&hash=b672d711f2ebeb64b8a4caa9a02b1508805499a7)
Step 2 Click "Smiley Sets"
In Smiley Sets click on the "New Smiley Set" Button
(https://www.smfsupport.com/support/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi148.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fs20%2Fsmfstyles%2Fsmileys2.gif&hash=f0fa91f6a1765581de14aa9453c1974c7e93846f)
Step 3
You can call the name of your smiley set what ever you want.
Just two things are important.
1. First make sure that default smiley set is checked.
2. Last And most important of all make sure the url is users/yoursubdomainnamehere
For example
If your url is http://demo.smfforfree.com
Then your subdomain would be "demo"
You would use users/demo as the smiley set url.
(https://www.smfsupport.com/support/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi148.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fs20%2Fsmfstyles%2Fsmileys3.png&hash=45ce75e25740a7d26fe5a522fb8a1ec0c12945dd)
Step 4 After you created your smiley set it is time to upload smilies.
First click on "Add Smiley" menu link on the page.
Now make sure that "Upload New Smiley" is selected.
Next browse for a smiley image on your computer.
Make sure that same image for all smiley sets is selected.
Enter the smiley code you wish to use for the image and make a short description and where you want the image to show.
Then click the "Save Changes" button.
[(https://www.smfsupport.com/support/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi148.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fs20%2Fsmfstyles%2Fsmileys4.gif&hash=ab949a1fa2bc0980153229d1baf5c91df1f9eceb)
The first time you upload a new smiley it will copy over the images from the default smiley set.
Step 5
Almost done! This is the last step:
Go to Admin > Current Theme
Choose the name of the smiley set you created.
(https://www.smfsupport.com/support/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi148.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fs20%2Fsmfstyles%2Fsmileys5.png&hash=127bd774c05775c7c7f89dcc787550968a62d4a2)
You are now finished and can enjoy using custom smiles on your forum.
Enjoy,

In order to upload smileys you have to purchase the Custom Smiles Upgrade - it is a one time fee. ($20.00)

You will need to upload all the smiles you want to use first cause it does not copy over the default smiles so they go to x's since they no longer exist. So you ned to upload a smlie for all the old ones.
How do you do this??? I keep trying and it doesnt seem to work. :tickedoff: :tickedoff: :tickedoff:
I've tried naming the smilies I'm uploadin the same names as the default so they cover them, that didn't work. I tried new names and they show up in the list but no pics, just the new name and code. :idiot2: :idiot2: :idiot2:

Help, help, help. I am trying to install the Custom Smiley upgrade and yes I did buy it and got confirmation on it.
I am at Step 3 here is what I have but then I get an Error.

I missed this earlier in your screenshot - Go to the Settings page and fix your base url there

I knew that, but I want SMF to know how valuable you are, at least to me. I know you always go above what is expected and help those of us when we need it. You know me, I don't ask for help much, but when I do, it is always something big. :2funny: Thank you so very much hun. :smitten: Now off to add those smileys for my members, they are going to love you too.

Why do you have to pay for this, when other boards have this automatically where you can add smileys.
Let's please not use the Guides to complain about options that require a fee.
If you do not wish to pay to upload your smileys you can change them/replace them by following this guide:

Help Please! I have done everything it says.
They show up in the list but no pics, just the new name and code?
This never happened either? (The first time you upload a new smiley it will copy over the images from the default smiley set. )

Read through each step carefully to make sure you've done each step correctly. If this doesn't solve your problem, could you please do your best to give us a description of what you did?
Post by: newtoallthis on February 19, 2011, 11:10:24 am
I've just tried it and got the message 'url already exists' or words to that effect.

Does this set work in SMF 2 RC5?
I've just tried it and got the message 'url already exists' or words to that effect.
We do support here only for forums hosted by the SMF for Free service. You'll need to go to simplemachines.org for support and help with your smileys.

Please Help, I have the smiles upgrade and now all of a sudden i can not upload smiles, I get this message.

What part do you need help with?Step 1. I'm confused because I don't know what the previously used were so I don't know exactly what to do there. If you previously used a Photobucket Account as the Base Url for the smileys on your forum or if you used the url for the smileys you see here at the Support forum, you will need to return the Url back to Default. If you used the smf smileys also delete the smf smiley set on the Settings page. If you did neither click "Save Changes" and move on to Step 2.
If I delete the smf smiley set, do I need to upload smilies before I even do that? Do I need to use something like photobucket?

Post by: truthquest on September 12, 2012, 06:56:35 pm
Just move on to Step 2 I don't think you did eitherOk let me try that. First I have to do this. To put the Base Url Back to Default:
In "Base URL to all smiley sets": Use http://text.smfforfree.com/Smileys
NOTE Replace text.smfforfree.com with YOUR forums url.
Click "Save Changes".
I'm not seeing "Base URL to all smiley sets". And when I put a checkmark in Enable Customized Smileys and clicked save, I saw double smilies on the forum.
Post by: SMF For Free on September 12, 2012, 07:03:13 pm
Step 2 Click "Smiley Sets"
Post by: truthquest on September 12, 2012, 07:05:32 pm
Skip that part too keep going down tillDo I need to checkmark Enable Customized Smileys? Okay I didn't do that.
Step 2 Click "Smiley Sets"
I clicked smiley sets and now I see Default, Name, URL, Modify.
I don't see New Smiley Sets. I see Smiley Sets and Settings. I clicked on Smiley Sets and nothing changed.
Alright I found New Smiley Sets. :) Trying to figure out the URL now. Users? Option is Users or smfnew. I clicked Default smiley set. I don't see Import Smileys Already in This Directory. So what happens when I click save? :-\
Step 4 I guess. I haven't created a smiley set.
