The Usual Smilies: A list

[Fangu]

I'm fond of the little green smilies that comes with vB, but because there are so many oversized images in the smilies/ macros list in the category "Cookie Monster etc" it's a pain opening up the "Smilies" popup when I'm writing posts. (I don't have a hhuuuuuuuuge monitor like some you peoples!)

So I derped around with the getsmilies() function in vB to see if it took arguments like "getcat=generic" or "getcategory=0" or whatever, but after googling it it doesn't look like misc.php (or any of the other files) allows for a getcategory() function to send things to getsmilies(), so I couldn't work that out. As in no way of showing just the generic smilies in a query.

So I decided to make my own library. So here's like an easy list of the generic smilies that are available. I still wish there were more smilies in the "hug and love" category! Who do I have to sleep with to get that done?

Note that {space} means I've inserted a "space" that has to be removed to make the smiley work. Also, all the smilies that are :nameofsmiley: are listed as : nameofsmiley: to prevent the actual smiley for showing. (Using the code tag was out of the question as that would make the list super long as I would have to use it for each smiley, since the img tag just spells out in the code tag.)

Nice work!

I'd like an :o smiley, please, if any new ones are ever implemented

 

[Strangelove]

this is tls

why isn't cookie monster the first one of the first row

 

[Fangu]

this is tls

why isn't cookie monster the first one of the first row

I'm gonna be all dull and facts now and say it's because : monster: is the first image in the second category, but I thought I would include him, because, you know. It's tls.

Also, it should say "column", not "row". My bad.

Looks like someone's already looking for a most-helpful member nomination come November But seriously, very helpful for new folks coming in. This should get a Sticky so said new folk can find it, FGJ. You're awesome Fangu.

As i am one of the "new folks". I thank you. I also have a hard time opening the similes pop up. For some reason it freezes my computer for a few seconds and then sometimes doesn't even load. So again thank you!

That didn't even cross my mind First and foremost it was purely an ego project, trying to find a way to load just the generic smilies, by fiddling around with URL's based on the functions of vB. Then that came to a halt and I decided that I would make a list. And then why not make the list directly on TLS to share it in case others might find it useful.

No u <3

It's probably because of the hhhuuuuggee macros. (Why are some of them so large, anyway?) And I'm glad you found this useful

^ This one's always bothered me. It's got some weird growth coming out of its head.

I went to the bother of fixing it, cause I'm sad liek that:

 

[Fangu]

That is hilarious!!! I never noticed that!

Someone please fix so we can have none-weird-growth no-smiley

I would have logged in and fixed it, but apparently my ftp thing doesn't work on the new server

 

[Cthulhu]

Yeah, because there is no FTP server running, . iirc, you can just upload it through the smilies CP.

And yes I'm lazy so no u

I'm pretty sure that doesn't overwrite existing smilies

 

[Cthulhu]

Deleting / re-adding them does, .

 

[Ⓐaron]

Ah, yeah I guess I could just upload it to a new file location or something
