Lack of interest Smilies on Status Updates and in Profile Posts

[jmurrayhead]

They don't appear to be parsed. I don't see any good reason to leave them out of profile posts

I think part of it is because it would look weird when you view a Membership Card (look at mine with my latest post, then imagine putting a smilie there).

I am wondering if it would be possible to have smilies being parsed in the status you input from your profile page ?

I do not know if it is a permission to allow BBcode and Smilies in profiles of users. If the guys show up online later and haven't replied yet, I might give them a poke.

 

[Onimua]

I can't find the thread where this was mentioned, but I had talked about it probably for the take of looking light and well-styled. Smilies in the Member Card wouldn't look to well I suspect.

 

[Floris]

I am sure the profile page can render them, while member card doesn't?

 

[Onimua]

If it doesn't cause too much trouble I suppose that might work?

I believe they are parsed on display, so yeah, that should work.

EDIT: Actually, I take that back. If you reply to my post, you'll notice that the smiley appears to simply be an image with a URL of "styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png". I could be wrong about this, but from this it looks like they are actually inserted as images, and not parsed on display. Kier or Mike, care to comment?

No, they're parsed on display.

BB codes (and related, including smilies) aren't handled in profile posts/statuses. The only thing is a special case for URLs.

Oh ok, is this a facebook like way of thinking or could it be provided as an option ?

I think there will be tight twitter integration (why else would it be limited to 140 characters ??), so smilies etc won't work

 

[XFA]

Well well I am not a big fan of twitter but anyway no biggie

I love my smilies.

i think that is by design ...

html security ..

No, I think more like visual simplicity/minimalism on the profile page.

 

[Mike]

This is intentional, but feel free to post a suggestion if you'd like to see it.

 

[erich37]

any option to switch it on/off for Admin ?

really not that important, just a suggestion for XF-version 5.3.8

I would love to use smilies on my profile page. I miss my babies.
