Tested it with chrome, it's the same for me.

Which browser are you using?

Todge, it seems to be working now.  This is all so weird.

When I scroll to the buttom now, I see what you were seeing.

But is there a way I can make this table wider?

There is indeed...

Put this in the Popup CSS of the smilie Dropwdown plugin..

.wysiwyg-smiley-menu
{
    width: 420px;
}

Change the red number to suite..

Much better now.

I'm trying to get the custom smilies to work and have a few questions: I understand that I need both the Smiley Management and Smilie Dropdown plugins. I have both installed but does one need to be installed and activated before the other?

I am unable to activate the dropdown. When I click the checkbox to activate it, a pop up comes up saying, "This plugin requires that the field "Shout Box" be set before it can be enabled." I click on the link for the shout box and enter my array of smilies. I click save, go back to manage and the plugin is still unchecked. Same results every time I try this.

I am entering the smilies array like this:
smilie[0]='http://URL/file1.gif',
smilie[1]='http://URL/file2.gif',

I've tried single quotes, double quotes, a colon, a comma - it won't take it. I'm out of ideas on what to try to make this work. Any advice?

Hi sp261grm ,

First up, you don't 'need' the Smiley Management plugin for the Smiley Dropdown plugin to work, the sole reason for the Smiley Management plugin was to make it easier for users to create and edit their smiley arrays. You can use the Smiley Management plugin to create your smiley array, that, when finished, you would copy/paste it into the Smily Dropdown plugin.

As for the smiley array, you do not need either the 'smilie[x]=' part, or the quotes, just make sure that your URLs are listed, one after another with no blank lines..

http://URL/file1.gif
http://URL/file2.gif
http://URL/file3.gif

etc..

As for the shout box option, I don't see any reason why that should not take, and couldn't be part of the code, as the admin area is controlled by the PB software. Nothing in a plugin could stop you from selecting an option.

Thank you! I ended up doing exactly that & It’s working.

Hi Todge,

I was trying to get the Board specific smilies code that goes in board headers working with no luck. Someone gave me this code a long time ago and I was wondering if it even still works or not or if I am doing something wrong?

Here is the code that I have:


<script type="text/javascript">
// Board Smilies for Smiley Drop Down Plugin

var smilie = new Array(
'SMILEY URL',
'SMILEY URL',
'SMILEY URL',
'SMILEY URL',
'SMILEY URL',
'SMILEY URL',
'SMILEY URL' // NOTE: The last smiley URL has no comma!!!
);

</script>

Wow, that's going back some..

Yes, that code still works with the latest version of the plugin, just make sure that you list the FULL smiley URLs, within quote makes, and separate each one with a comma.

Todge,

Can I install and use multiple instances of this plugin?

The reason why I would like to do that is because I have a bunch of images that I like to display in the dropdown menu, but on other boards that I am using the header code to add certain smilies to certain boards I would like to display the images in the top menu of the post editor where they are always visible.

You can only have one instance of the Smilie Dropdown Plugin on your forum, but you can use the script above in different boards so that each board can have it's own unique smileys.

Version 4.0.0 is now available in the Library.

You can now display the smiley images in the dropdown instead of the codes, you can now also scroll directly to a category with the click of a button in the pop-up.
