[xFS] User Smilies [Paid] [Deleted]

[Chris D]

If a user does add :smalltroll: to their posts and it becomes popular enough that the admin adds it to XF, which one takes precedence, the XF defintion or the user definition?

Ok. This is the behaviour.

If a user adds :thumbsup: with one image, e.g.

Then the admin adds :thumbsup: with another image

There's no error when this occurs.

All posts by that original user containing :thumbsup: will display:

All posts by any other user containing :thumbsup: will display:

So, in some ways, this is quite an elegant way of handling it. No error. But it does cause a bit of an inconsistency which isn't ideal. I cannot decide the best way of dealing with it.

I would suggest, removal of user smiley and they be sent a notification that it has been replaced by a global smiley.

I like that idea....

And you can give them a trophy as well 'Smiley contributor'

How about admins can see a list of all user smileys in ACP and click a button next any smiley to make it global, they then get rerouted to the smiley add/edit page

Add in the option there?

Somewhat, that is a log, and not exactly a list of all the smilies. Button would so on a similar list.

Any chance to pay with credit card and another currency?

 

[Chris D]

My only other option is Google Checkout/Wallet.

PayPal and Google will let you pay (usually) in any currency.

Are you considering integrating this with for instance [bd] banking? I can imagine an instance where a user creates a smiley. Say, :gasngnamstyle: or whatever.

If other users like it, they could "buy" the priviledge to use the icon by paying the original creator some of their credits.(Prices should be equal for all icons, so users will not end up undercutting one another for identical icons but with different replacements).

Combine it with restrictions on the amount of smileys a usergroup can create (i.e. registered members can add 10 icons, premium members 20, and lifetime members up to 25), and you suddenly have a very interesting mod.

Checkout is fine. I need your ID of Google Wallet account.

 

[Chris D]

I am not considering integrating any payment/bank/credit systems, at this time, sorry.

 

[SchmitzIT]

That's too bad, Chris. I'm always looking for ways to add to the offering for Premium Members, and this seemed like a great way to do so.

If you can send money directly then chris@deemit.co.uk is the ID

Do the users custom entries show up for them in the smiley drop-down box and other places or is it a matter of them remembering the shortcuts they chose?

(I'll be finding out shortly enough when I get time to install it this weekend but figured I should ask to know what to expect.)

Not currently but that's definitely logical progression

(Thank you)

Hi Chris

Can admins specify a file type? I'd hate for people to start uploading animated gifs as smileys.

Great idea this add-on, will be popular on our board. Purchased

There are currently no file-type restrictions. I will add that to the list

Just checking something else...

If a user wants to use a custom smiley that another user has already created, do they have to upload the image again? Or will there be an option to choose an existing custom smiley to add to their profile?

Off topic: Your order confirmation email has a typo "This link may be used up to 3 times before it expires on forever."

Thanks for the info on the typo. I think that might be a default FetchApp template - but I think it's editable. I will check that out

Each user has to upload their own images. Right now they can't reuse images that are already there.
