Smiley Parse.

[Jo0Lz]

I've experienced difficulties when posting smileys at the end of my sentences.
I always use a period at the end, even if the last expression is a smiley.

In PHPBB, it get's parsed normally. :D. turns into a smiley, just as :D? :D!

In CPG-BB and ForumsPro, however, it doesn't.

gets parsed ok.
:D. doesn't.

gets parsed ok.
:D! doesn't.

Is there an easy way to fix this? I know it seems a small problem, and not hight priority, but it sure does suck :D. I am a frequent visitor to a lot of forums, and the all parse the smiley even if I use a period.

Thanks :).

yep make sure you put a space after your smiley code . !

[Jo0Lz]

:').

Sure , that can be done, but I'm in ICT. I'm lazy :D.
It has to be possible, cause other boards can.

[Dizfunkshunal]

What is ICT?

By design a smile need to be surrounded by spaces. Webmasters may add or edit smiles with ":D!" or ":D." as code.

Well we could make an exception for certain characters.
But yeah we did it on purpose because just like nano says.... What if there's a smiley for ':D.'

Yeah, if that's the case, that wouldn't work.
But, however, I haven't got any smileys that are coded that way :+ ...

Could you please tell me how to accomplish exception for certain characters?

[Jo0Lz]

Right. So it IS possible to do this, but nobody can tell me how?
I just want to know where to change code...

includes/nbbcode.php line 296

PHP:

$orig[] = "#([\s])".$smilies[$i]['code']."([\s<])#si";

replace by:

PHP:

$orig[] = "#([\s])".$smilies[$i]['code']."([\s<\.?!,])#si";

Just put in [\s<] all the characters you need.

That worked like a charm. Thanks a bunch. I tried putting the symbols (!?.,) there, like in the example, but left the

Code::

[\s<]

intact...

Guess I was pretty close after all :D.

Thanks guys, really made it easier for me to post on my own forums :D.

Well, I can tell you know, that it works on my site.
When there is a smiley for

Code::

:?

(And there is on my site) And you type :??, it displays the smiley, followed by a question mark.

So, in fact, it doesn't effect any of the smileys at all. I even tested it, by creating a smiley with the code

Code::

:D.

And when I type

Code::

:D..

It works perfectly.

I'm so happy, I can rant like on the other forums, without having to edit my message afterwards, because I typed a period after the smiley...

:D

You guys rock!

Hello there,

I have a question.
Is there a way to remove the space between smilies?

Here is an example:
If i where to use the normal :imagea: :imageb: commands, i would get this:


If i where to remove the spaces between them :imagea::imageb: i would get this:
:imagea::imageb:
no images.

Thanx in advance.

[Eestlane]

Why would you need that?

[Dizfunkshunal]

the 2 imagges make one image. I would just combine the 2 images so you only have to enter one smilies code. see attached
