3.2 Adding smileys

Smileys are small images that you can insert in a message body in order to share a particular feeling (happy content , vexed vexe , faking to be hurt outre , ...)

There are two types of smileys. Some are official and will never change. Some are added by the users themselves and can be re-used in the future.

3.2.1 The official smileys

The full list of official smileys can be found on the " smilies.php" page

To insert the smiley content , all you need to do is to type the code :)

Other examples:

- :spookie: creates spookie

- :mmmfff: creates vexe

3.2.2 The personal smileys

Personal smileys are those who have been added to the forum by members. Indeed, you may want to add your own images in your messages and especially to integrate those new smileys with the default ones. However, to insert a personal smiley in the body of a message, the process is a bit different. The syntax looks like: [pseudo] or [pseudo:number] (pseudo being the name of the forum member who added the smiley.

Examples : - [:bobo] refers to the main smiley of the user named Bobo - [:bobo:3] refers to the third personal smiley added by Bobo.

There are several ways to insert those smileys to your message. The first method is to learn their code. Obviously, this is not the easiest one. However, you may also add personal smileys among the default ones in the panel displayed on the left of the message field:

To add a smiley as a favourite for future use, click on the List button of the personal smileys to get to the field that contains all personal smileys. Enter the code of the smiley of your choice and validate. it will then be part of your favourite list.

Tips

You do not need to enter the code of the smiley by yourself. Simply click on the smiley of your choice to automatically insert the code in the panel.

Note

You can also manage your favourite smileys by going to your profile in the Image Management section by following the link Add Favourite Smileys.

To insert your own personal smileys, you will need to go to your profile page in the Image Management section by following the link Manage Personal Smileys.
