[Guide] How to use the smileys you see here at support
« on: April 15, 2007, 11:14:56 am »
NOTICE:    This Guide shows you only how to REPLACE your smileys with the smileys you see here at Support.
If you wish to upload smileys to your forum you can purchase the smiley upgrade.   Click on the "Upgrade this Forum" link at the bottom of your forum or go to Admin>Addons & Upgrades to purchase the upgrade.


To use the smileys you see here at Support:

Step 1:

  • Admin > Smileys and Message Icons > Settings tab.
    Base URL to all smiley sets:   Copy this url - put it in as the base url:  http://www.smfboards.com/Smileys/
    Note:  Be sure this url is EXACTLY as above.. no spaces before or after or it will NOT work
    Put a checkmark for :  enable customized smileys
    Click Save

Step 2:

  • Click the Smiley Sets tab
    Click New Smiley Set button
    Put  smf in both boxes
    Checkmark both blocks
    Save Changes

    NOTE:  If you get this message ignore it, the smileys are already in the directory:
    Unable to import smiley set.  Either the directory is invalid or cannot be accessed.


Step 3:

  • Click Current Theme
    Select default smiley set for this theme:   Use the dropdown box and choose smf
    Click Save
    Your smileys will now be in place.  

Step 4:

  • There are 10 additional smileys you can add:

    :2funny: :buck2: :coolsmiley: :crazy2: :idiot2: :knuppel2: :smiley6600: :smitten: :tickedoff: :uglystupid2:

    To add them:
    Click the Add Smiley tab
    Make sure it says Using Smiley set smf in the dropdown

    Using the second dropdown (that says filename to the right of it) browse thru the smileys to find
    the rest of them. When you find one you want:

    Put a code for it:  
    explanation:     code for  :)  is
Code: [Select]
:)
    you can put words there
    Put a Tooltip or description for it:  (just something to describe it)
    Click Save Changes

How to put your smileys back to Default
In case you decide to put your smileys back to the forum default smileys.


Admin > Smileys and Message Icons

1.  Click the Settings tab.

        Default Smiley Set:     Change it to Default.

        Base URL to all smiley sets:   Use http://text.smfforfree.com/Smileys for the base url.
        NOTE  Replace text.smfforfree.com with YOUR forums url.
        Do not leave a space at the end of it when pasting it in.
        Click Save.

2. Click the Smiley Sets tab.  
    Make sure there is an asterick (*) beside the Default Set.

3. Admin > Current Theme:    
    Select default smiley set for this theme:  Choose Default in the dropdown box.  
    Click Save.

That is all there is to putting them back to default.

i dont get step 2. "put smf in both boxes" what does that mean? because it shows up with the smfboards.com/smileys/ thing at the top, anf if i put smf in the box it comes up with an error.

When you click on New Smiley Set you will get a box.

Where is says Name type smf  in the box
Where is says URL type smf in the box
Checkmark both of the other options
If you get this message ignore it:
Unable to import smiley set.  Either the directory is invalid or cannot be accessed.

I only get the first 16 SMF smileys (ends with the crying smiley).  I do not get any smiley after that one.

Check Edit Smileys - see if any are set to Hidden... if so set them to Post Area.
then Check Add Smileys - the other 6 that you should have being on smfforfree3.com should be there.

Use this Guide instead - it shows how to replace your smileys:
How to replace your Smileys
   

Forum Url: http://ozbmxcentral.smfforfree.com
I only get 19 of them.

You should have 22.
Check Edit Smileys.   
See if any are set to Hidden.   If so change them to Post area.
Check Add Smileys
See if the remaining ones that you should have are listed there -  if so add them there.

I deleted the other post.. sorry but there is just no reason to post the same question in two different places.. it gets too confusing.

The best thing to do is start over from scratch with the Guide.   Go through each step, one step at a time.
If you check Step 3 you will see there are 22 smileys you will have.
If you do NOT have all 22 of them check Edit Smileys to see which ones you DO have...  check down the row to see if any are set to hidden, if so change them to post area.     If you only have 19 in Edit smileys go to Add smileys and check the names there.  Find the ones that you do not have and add them.   The guide tells you how to do that.

Admin > Smileys and Message Icons
You will find both Edit Smileys and Add Smiley there on the tab bar 
Click Add Smiley -   Open the dropdown box next to "filename"    Count the number of smileys there...  there should be 22.
Click Edit Smileys -   Count how many you have there -  if its  less then 22 then you need to figure out by going back and forth tween "add" and "edit" which ones are missing and add them in under Add Smiley.
