Yes hello XenForo.
So I bet you're wondering why I made this, it's a pretty simple program, however it's useful in situations such as I was in earlier where I had 109 images that I need to have as smilies, it would have taken quite some time to get all set up.

However, after making a simple console application in a couple minutes, it...

Wow - what a awesome way to import big smilie directorys. Many thank to share this with us.

Could you add the ability to specify smilie categories? And why you add it to all smilies, even if they are larger?

<sprite_params w="18" h="18"/>

You're very welcome! That was the purpose for it!

I'll add those two options.
However, with category you must know the ID of the category.

Since there's some interest and downloads, I'll add a few things..

• Ability to specify size parameters.
• The characters to use for the smilie. Right now it uses { }. So it would be {smiliename} to use said smilie. I'll adjust that.
• And I'll add category ID selection.

Hello,

Argh... you have do it yesterday, i dint have seen the update. Sorry.

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.


Any thoughts on what went wrong for me?

You need to make sure you replace the @ symbol with a PERIOD (DOT) symbol in Step 2.

I followed the instructions, got an XML file and when I tried to import it, it gave me this error:

The provided file was not a valid XML file. Please provide a valid XML file.

Does anyone know what format Xenforo expect for a smilie XML file?

Ok, I found the problem! Looks like when you added Categories support, you must have forgotten to open the "<smilies>" element just after the categories element in the outputted XML file!

Once I added back in that opening tag, it worked!

I did *NOT* add categories, so you may find that you tested it with categories, but forgot to test it again without categories.

Anyone else running into this problem, if you just find this line in the exported XML file:

<smilie_categories />

And change it to say:

<smilie_categories />
<smilies>

It will import properly.
