XenMoods 1.1.3

[Ryan Kent]

Thank you Brogan, Dismounted and Shelley. You can now count me amongst the happy XenMood family of users.

Dismounted, if I can make a couple suggestions for your use of tables:

- Instead of naming the table xf_moods, I would recommend something like dm_moods (dm=Dismounted). As a database user I would presume any tables with the xf prefix are native to the default install of xf.

- Instead of altering the existing xf_user table by adding the mood_id field I would recommend adding a new table dm_user and linking the table to the xf_user table on the user_id field.

From a database design perspective, this approach is better for add-ons.

she plurked recently stating that she had changed her mind, and was no longer going to release. then brogan locked the mood discussion thread.
which is annoying considering how long we were waiting for them.

those are the old moods, not the new moods she was working on.

There's me thinking I had the time consuming essentially hard part in designing moods from scratch. They'll be released when they are ready, When I'm happy with the amount that will be available in this pack.

Any update on the new mood pack now XF is stable?

They'll be ready soon.

Shelley, It has been a while I asked you about it. Any news about a turkish translation for the mood icons ? Some users have been asking for proper Turkish icons. It would make us extremely happy if you could

Once released (english version) the turkish moods will be the first language I'll be doing/translating.

Really looking forward to that new set, Shelley!

I could really use that new "Liar" one.

Thats great to hear Shelley. Thanks for the update.

Is Arabic on the list?

Erk, just noticed something.
A usergroup that isn't supposed to see Moods can see a user change their Mood in: Members>Recent Activity
Although non-logged in "Guests" cannot.

EDIT: Afterthought: That actually may be a good thing as a promotional tool.
"What's Moods, can we have them??"
"Yep, pay me!" lol

For those that don't want this mood change in their news feed, can it be prevented from showing up?

 

[Ryan Kent]

I allow my users to choose Dark or Light styles. The challenge is the normal XenMoods don't look right in the dark styles and vice versa. I would like to be able to use the @imagePath variable in the Mood Image URL field so the correct path is always used. I tried and the variable doesn't seem to work in that field.

Any suggestions?

Any suggestions?

You could go down 1 of 2 routes. Use Allans moods which are .png and you wouldn't have to worry about the matting problems your experiencing or wait until I release my v2 mood icons which are also .png and almost ready. I have 7 more to design to make up 200 so friday or saturday looks like a release date for those. Monday being the latest.

 

[Ryan Kent]

ty Shelley. I had no idea that changing to the png format would resolve this issue. I'll gladly wait for your incredible artwork.

Yeah, Because most of the mood icons are in gif format you have to apply a matte colour due to myself including animations which only gif supported. So the colour of the matte needs to be the same colour of the background that it's being applied upon. If your using say a light and dark style, then you'll get that nasty (normally white, depends on the matte colour) redundant matting which your experiencing now. With .png the format allows transparency so you'll get none of the matting but seamless images on both of your styles and a 100 other different styles if you ever choose to add them.

The PNG set that Allan posted actually doesn't look great on dark backgrounds, they were still full of white on the surround.



Look forward to the new set!

Look forward to the new set!

Could you possibly try one of the moods I designed if you have the time and post back a screenshot alien?

 

[Alien]

Sure will. Report back shortly...

 

[Alien]

Here you go!



Ignore the temp oldies in there.

I think the latest XF version has now hooks where manual changes has to be done

example:

            <xen:hook name="sidebar_visitor_panel_stats">
                <dl class="pairsJustified"><dt>{xen:phrase messages}:</dt> <dd>{xen:number $visitor.message_count}</dd></dl>
                <dl class="pairsJustified"><dt>{xen:phrase likes}:</dt> <dd>{xen:number $visitor.like_count}</dd></dl>
                <dl class="pairsJustified"><dt>{xen:phrase points}:</dt> <dd>{xen:number $visitor.trophy_points}</dd></dl>
            </div>
            </xen:hook>

Is a new release being planned any time soon? Thanks.

 

[trilogy33]

Is the category idea still a viable option?

Yup, just wanted to confirm this. You may want to change this in the first post of this thread as well.

Thank you for the brilliant addon!

Sorry if this topic has already been covered I went through the first few pages and since XF doesnt have a search thread feature yet I am posting this. If you have usergroup ribbons installed moods shows up before the ribbons which does not look good at all. How do we get Moods to show up after ribbons?
