Couple of questions

Ok, so I searched the forum and didn't really find anything that completely answered this so here it goes:

1 - How can you get the smileys to appear in the Forums?

2. How can you get the Forum 'Spy' to show up on a different page.

Might be something simple, I don't know.

Who are you, and what have you done with Zarcon?

 HAHA. Been bustin my a$$ at work the past few months. Trying to get back into the swing of things and maybe even build a site (7.1.x of course). So why didn't you answer my question

Breaker Breaker 1-9.. Anyone got their ears on, comeback..

Do you mean the pop-up window of emoticons that you can click on and insert into the forum topic?  If you are not using one of the latest Dolphin versions that changed the forum to using the regular Dolphin TinyMCE init; not sure which version they changed that in; then you have to add the code to the separate forum canvas.init file.

We need more data dear.

The emotiicon plugin has to be added to the init, as well as the emoticon button.

GG - Break it down for me here. I am running 7.1.4 with standard Boonex forums. When I click to add a new topic or reply to a topic, the TinyMCE editor is included. There is no button for emoticons even though there is 'supposedly' emoticons uploaded already in the plugins. 

Version 7.1.4 is using the TinyMCE init located in /templates/base/scripts/BxBaseEditorTinyMCE.php.  TinyMCE is located, as you know, in /plugins/tiny_mce.  Now, if you have other TinyMCE toolbars on your site with the emoticons, then you know the plugin is working.  The forum uses the same init that the blog module uses unless I am mistaken here; would have to open the init up to be sure which one.  Are you seeing the emoticons on other toolbars on the site?  If so, then TinyMCE is loading the plugin and it is working.  If you see it on the blog module but not the forum, then we take it from there.

Boonex removed it as default on the editor in one of the early 7.1 versions.

If you want it, edit the following file. templates/base/scripts/BxBaseEditorTinyMCE.php

Look for this.

    protected static $CONF_FULL = "
                        plugins: 'autolink,autosave,lists,table,inlinepopups,media,searchreplace,print,paste,fullscreen',
                        width: '100%',
                        height: '320',
                        theme: 'advanced',
                        theme_advanced_buttons1: 'bold,italic,underline,removeformat,|,sub,sup,|,bullist,numlist,|,justifyleft,justifycenter,justifyright,justifyfull,|,undo,redo,|,outdent,indent,blockquote,formatselect,|,hr,link,unlink,image,media',
                        theme_advanced_buttons2: 'anchor,|,tablecontrols,|,visualaid,|,search,replace,|,print,|,fullscreen,cleanup,pastetext,code',
                        theme_advanced_buttons3: '',
                        theme_advanced_toolbar_location: 'top',
                        theme_advanced_toolbar_align: 'left',
                        theme_advanced_statusbar_location: 'bottom',
                        theme_advanced_resizing: true,
                        theme_advanced_resize_horizontal: false,
                        theme_advanced_resizing_use_cookie: true,
    ";


Change it to this. Add the two additions in GREEN.

    protected static $CONF_FULL = "
                        plugins: 'emotions,autolink,autosave,lists,table,inlinepopups,media,searchreplace,print,paste,fullscreen',
                        width: '100%',
                        height: '320',
                        theme: 'advanced',
                        theme_advanced_buttons1: 'bold,italic,underline,removeformat,|,sub,sup,|,bullist,numlist,|,justifyleft,justifycenter,justifyright,justifyfull,|,undo,redo,|,outdent,indent,blockquote,formatselect,|,hr,link,unlink,image,media',
                        theme_advanced_buttons2: 'anchor,|,tablecontrols,|,visualaid,|,search,replace,|,print,|,fullscreen,cleanup,pastetext,code,emotions',
                        theme_advanced_buttons3: '',
                        theme_advanced_toolbar_location: 'top',
                        theme_advanced_toolbar_align: 'left',
                        theme_advanced_statusbar_location: 'bottom',
                        theme_advanced_resizing: true,
                        theme_advanced_resize_horizontal: false,
                        theme_advanced_resizing_use_cookie: true,
    ";


NOTE: On the plugins line, make sure the plugin name emotions is at the beginning of the line, and not at the end. For some reason it would not load on my site when it was at the end. Unknown as to why.

I do not have blogs installed but I can see where the same TinyMCE editor is available when creating Groups. No emoticon icon there either.

By the way /templates/base/scripts/BxBaseEditorTinyMCE.php is there but not sure what good it's doing..

By the way, I posted a free new set of emoticons that extended the default ones from Boonex.

Deano - You sir are a genius.. Thank you..

@GG - Where? I would like some more.

Here is the forum topic, just found it: http://www.boonex.com/forums/topic/Different-set-of-emotions-for-TinyMCE.htm

GG - I uploaded the new files as you stated but now, I have a bigger box but only the default emoticons are showing. I did notice 2 zip files in that thread. I chose the very first one in the post. Should I get the second one instead?

Nevermind.. Had to clear my browser cache.. Thanks a bunch!!

Any luck on trying to get #2 resolved???

2. How can you get the Forum 'Spy' to show up on a different page. (i.e. Homepage)

Sorry for digging up the topic, I'm also looking for this and had no luck finding a solution!

It would be a great addition to :

- Either have the possibility to add a Forum Spy module to Homepage,

- or add Forum events to Timeline.

The best bet is the Forum Posts block, which should be in the Pages Builder => Homepage. Deano has a module in the market (http://www.boonex.com/m/Block_Tools) that will let you copy blocks to other pages they weren't intended for, but if the spy block requires code only on that page, this will be a dud. You'll want to check with him BEFORE buying and trying.

The forum posts block from the home page can be copied to other pages with my block tools module.

The Forum Posts block is just an RSS block. It can work but it is far less detailed than the Spy Forum page. I want to copy Spy Forum page to a special block in Homepage, not copy the Forum Posts block from the homepage to another page.
