Smilies in quick reply

[Cpt. Spaulding]

How can I display smilies in the quick reply box?

There is no function to do this. This requires modifying the code. We cannot officially support code modifications or forums running modified code, however you can try searching or asking for help with this over at www.vbulletin.org.

Because it's such an easy template mod and the discussion thread over at vBulletin.org is rather fragmented, I've cleaned it up and reposted it here. This gives you a Smilie button on the Quick Reply and Quick Edit toolbars which brings up the Smilie popup. Clicking on a Smilie in this popup window places it in the editor window at the cursor's location.

Make the following additions to these 2 templates:
Showthread Templates -> showthread_quickreply
Postbit Templates -> postbit_quickedit

Find this:

<td><div class="imagebutton" id="{$editorid}_cmd_wrap0_quote"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_editor]/quote.gif" width="21" height="20" alt="$vbphrase[wrap_quote_tags]" /></div></td>

and Add this below it:

<td><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_editor]/separator.gif" width="6" height="20" alt="" /></td>
<td><a href="#" onclick="vB_Editor['$editorid'].open_smilie_window(smiliewindow_x, smiliewindow_y); return false">
<img src="$stylevar[imgdir_editor]/smilie.gif" alt="Smilies" border="0" /></a></td>

then if one doesn't already exist, upload the smilie of your choice to /images/editor/ and name it smilie.gif.

I'd really like to see this added to a future version of vBulletin. Ideally, the Smilie popup should also be an option. I don't know how much overhead it adds. Of course this would be right after allowing us to add or change colors in the Colors popup. I tried for about an hour one day, but it's hard-coded as all getout.

It now has its own Quick Tip too.

Thanks! That takes care of one of the little tweaks I had in the back of my head.
