How to...

Post by Winjeel »

Most things I know about computing I've learnt myself from just playing around and seeing what happened. It goes a long way in becoming quite independent. But I know we all get stuck on some little things.

Firstly, download, and unzip a smilie pack. Copy and paste EVERYTHING unzipped into the folder where the smilies are stored (I can’t remember, but I think it’d be something like ‘yourdomain.com/phpbb/images/smilies/’ << Someone correct me please); this is the 'Storage Path'. But also, I’m assuming that your website folders are stored on your computer and you can add pictures and files through programs like FrontPage. Still, I don’t actually do it this way myself, so my knowledge is shaky in this area.

Then,
1. Log in to your forum

2. From the first page of the forum, go to the bottom to the 'Go to Admin Panel' (or something like that)

3. On the left hand menu, go to ‘Smilies’

4. Go to the very bottom of the page to ‘Import Smilie Pack’

5. The page says this, ‘You should unzip the smiley package and upload all files to the appropriate Smiley directory for your installation. Then select the correct information in this form to import the smiley pack.’ (See the ‘Firstly’ note above, if already done go to 6)

6. Choose the ‘.pak’ file. I think these are the instructions for the forum to understand which smilie to use. I chose to ‘Keep existing smilies’, and not check the ‘Delete Smilies’ Then click on import.

I think this is mostly complete, and there are bound to be problems in my instructions, so someone please correct me. :)

Also, can you do me a favour? Assuming these instructins are fine, if anyone else asks this question, can you direct them to this answer?

Don't think so

Post by Winjeel »

I don't think you can use the MSN smilie set, as these are copyrighted to Microsoft, and I don't think there is a way to copy and paste the images into a folder on your system.

Adding smilies

Post by ClassicNancy »

Can smilie packs get added to the freeBB? If so what is the proper directory?

Greetings,

You can't because you don't have access to files. Get normal hosting and normal phpBB.

I would have no idea how to do it. Doesn't it cost to do that?

Love these!
I have taken some from the package, but having one problem.
Take a look at my emoticons list, most of the new smilies are shown wrong sized. But in posts they do work work. How to solve this tiny, but a bit annoying problem? ^^

some of these are very similar to ones I've picked up from various sites, and some are similar to Yahoo's smilies, all of which I have as well.

Install the additional smiles

Post by yckelvin »

How can I install the additional smiles? Just copy the files and need to update the DB? Do anyone can list down the steps? I think this is the frequent quesiton.
