Move smilies to below text area (and optionally add to Quick Reply)

vB Version: 4.0.8 Rating: (44 votes - 4.41 average) Installs: 278
Released: 06 Dec 2009 Last Update: 21 Nov 2010 Downloads: 1362
Not Supported Uses Plugins Template Edits Auto-Template  

NOTE: This will break your 4.1.4 Quick Reply if you have smilies enabled there unless you do the edit below.

This moves the smilie box to below the text area when posting within threads, blogs, groups, PMs, and cms when using the Advanced Editor (new item or advanced reply). This is done using just CSS. The plugin simply appends the new CSS file to the editor.css file link in the page. It can also make the smiliebox show on the showthread page below the text box in Quick Reply if you do the Optional Edit below.

Attachment 107256

This mod is supported for the default style only as trying to debug other's site CSS issues is not easy.

This has been tested in firefox, Safari and IE7.


Version History:
1.0 2009-12-06: initial release by Lynne at vbulletin.org (pre 4.0.1)
1.1 2010-01-13: fixed issues with 4.0.1; made it move the smilies to the bottom for sending a new PM ('blog'), and for posting a New Discussion ('group') (4.0.1)
1.2 2010-01-23: fixed it to work if you store your css in the filesystem (4.0.1)
1.3 2010-05-05: added fields so it will work with vbcms and editpost (4.0.1)
1.4 2010-10-23: Modified CSS to use new stylevars - you do NOT need to upgrade to this version if your CSS is working just fine for you! (4.0.8 - see note below for 4.1PL1)


To install:

1. Import product-lynne_smilies_below.xml

2. Go to Settings > Options > Message Posting Interface Options > Put smilie box below textarea > Yes

3. Go to Settings > Options > Message Posting Interface Options and make sure you set these two settings:
Smiliebox Total Smilies - this is the total number of smilies you want to show
Smiliebox Rows (smilies below textarea) - this is the number of rows of smilies you would like

NOTE: The Total Smilies must be evenly divisible by the Rows, ie. you can't set the Total to 17 and have 2 Rows as that won't work.

4. OPTIONAL - If you also want the smiliebox to show on the showthread page under the Quick Reply, then you must do the following:
a. Go to Settings > Options > Message Posting Interface Options > Add smiliebox below Quick Reply on showthread page > Yes (Note that the above options, Put smilie box below textarea must also be set to Yes)
b. Make the following template edit in the template "showthread_quickreply".
Find the following:

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)  
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

Add in the following line among the bottom divs (for 4.0.8):

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)  
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.


OR
Add in the following line among the bottom divs (for 4.1.0 PL1):

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)  
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

OR in 4.1.10 forward, find this code in the SHOWTHREAD template:

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)  
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

Add directly below there:

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)  
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.


To get this to work with 4.1.4 (and later) Quick Reply:
Edit the plugin "Add smilies to Quick Reply also" and remove, or comment out, the line:

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)  
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.


To uninstall:


1. Uninstall "Move smilies below textarea"
2. If you added the smiliebox to the showthread.php page in the Quick Reply, then remove the template edit done above.

This will not work for pre-beta 5 vB4.

As I said in the release notes, it will not work in beta 4.

They are currently defined in .editor_smiliebox ul.smiliebox li which I quoted in the first post of this thread. You can go change them there but then you will need to change all the variables in this mod based on what you change them to (as I outlined in my instructions).

You need to add the smilies yourself in your Smilie Manager. If you need help with that, you need to post over on vb.com.

That is a problem with your smilies, not this modification. Uninstall this mod and fix your smilies issue first before installing this mod.

Thats strange my smilies do work, but for some reason they are the older 3.8 version smilies, and I also have another issue, when you click advance reply such as here... http://www.brotherhoodofgamers.com/n...ostreply&t=110

it shows you the smilies under the text box without the images as well as the old 3.8 smilies, any idea how to fix this?

And I believe that when you type in the quick reply for example as a smile, it shows the image after you submit the post, it shows it as the NEW smilie types, not the old ones.

Could you please help me fix it?
