Dynamically creating Smilies using BB Code with FPS Smilie Creator installed

[fuse3k]

This is a small addition will allow your forum users to dynamically create Sign Smilies using BB Code. Please be advised: With the server dynamically creating these images this could put a significant load on your server if are running a large forum.

Instructions:

Assuming you already have the FPS Smilie Creator installed in you CMPS, follow these steps:

1.) Go to your AdminCP>Custom BB Codes>Add New BB Code
2.) Fill in the form with the following information

Title: Dynamic Smilie
Tag: smilie
Replace: <img src="$vboptions/forum/modules/fps_smilie_creator.php?text=%20{param}%20&typ=$vboptions[bburl]/images/smilies/fps_smilie_creator/vorlage{option}.png&col=0,0,0&shcol=255,255,255"
[B]Example: Hello%20there!
Description: Create your own smilies using this BB Code
Use {option}: Yes

Using this setup if an end-user used "Hello There" it would output a PNG image of the Smilie Sign using the " :) " face. The "Option" variable dictates the smiliey used (1-14).

------------------

If you only want one pacticular smilie to generate the signs use these instructions instead:

Replace: <img src="$vboptions/modules/fps_smilie_creator.php?text=%20{param}%20&typ=$vboptions[bburl]/images/smilies/fps_smilie_creator/vorlage[B]{XXX}.png&col=0,0,0&shcol=255,255,255"
Example: Hello%20there!
Description: Create your own smilies using this BB Code
Use {option}: No

NOTE: Replace {XXX} with the image number you want to use (1-14)

Using this setup if an end-user used "Hello There" it would output a PNG image of the Smilie Sign using the " :) " face.

I'm sure there's room for improvement with this so if anyone has better ideas feel free to comment.

This is untested, but should be okay. I'm sure you don't want people using your images and/or bandwidth! :-)

Is the path correct to the Smilie Creator CMPS Module?

[Fiber]

Sure is

[fuse3k]

Replace "$vboptions[bburl]/modules/fps_smilie_creator.php" with the full URL to your FPS Smilie Creator Module and see if that makes any difference. :)

So does this allow you to create a smilie in the creator and then dynamically place it within a post without having to "right click save as"

If so...THANK YOU!!! :)

[fuse3k]

Sure does. It dynamically creates the image and adds it to the post using HTML. No need to save the file.
