Okay, lets see if I can hit something...

Open your config.php file
Find the following lines and make sure they are NOT commented out:
Code: Select all
@define('DEBUG', true); @define('DEBUG_EXTRA', true);
This will turn on error reporting so you will be able to see if there is an error.
Upload all smilies to the /images/smilies/ directory.
Upload smiley.pak to the /images/smilies/ directory (i.e. the same directory)
smiley.pak is CHMODed 644 -rw-r--r--
If you have multiple forum installations, be sure you have uploaded and are logged into the correct forum for installing the smilies.
Go to ACP > Posting > Smilies > Import Smiley Pack > You will see a drop down list with all available smilies.
If you do not see this list, then there is something wrong with you installation of phpBB3 (I would assume).
I just checked STG, and we have 6 paks in that directory, and they all show up in the ACP.
Select a pak and -- select the desired option from delete, keep or replace.
Click [ Install smiley pak ]
If the installation fails... well, I?m not sure what you would do, we?ll cross that bridge if we get here

You don?t like your mac?!? I?m sure there are many here that would be ... ehm, more than happy to take it off your hands for you. :tease:

Only the command-shift-i option would work in SubEthaEdit, it does not work in any other application. -- well, it does, but it won?t show you line-endings in other apps.

Are you running on a OS X Server, Linux, Unix or Microsoft server?
What tool did you use to unpack (unstuff/unzip) the smiley.pak?
The fact that your created smiley pak won?t show up is an indication of something common, and not with the STG pak in particular.

First off, Thankyou for your patience and help. It is now working properly, and really went smoothly once I fixed the one problem I had.

@define('DEBUG_EXTRA', true);

was commented out, so I uncommented it and reuploaded it. (don't know exactly what it does, but will most likely find out.

smiley.pak is CHMODed 644 -rw-r--r--

Here was my problem. For some odd reason, smartFtp didn't add any chmod info. It was blank. (nothing checked) Once I set the chmod to 644, it worked without a problem. :banghead:

You don?t like your mac?!?

My mac is a G4, lowest end osx you can get. (only 256mb ram)
I use it as a dev machine for converting my games.
It, like phpBB3 takes a bit of getting used to. (but the mac is super slow, and phpBB3 is super fast. Some day I'll drive the 60 miles to North Sacramento and get the ram updated)

The server I'm using is hosted linux.

What tool did you use to unpack (unstuff/unzip) the smiley.pak?

I didn't. Look up in this thread (Page3) and you'll see where Sniper_E put up a zip of the "Unzipped" pak. I did go back in my archive of places I used to visit and got a link to PakScape. I used to use it years ago. I now have it again.

Anyway, thanks again for your help. :thumbsup:

You've been great and it is now working. :yahoo:

Go here for the .zip file.

Download that .zip file.
Extract all files and copy to your server's phpBB3/images/smilies/ directory.
Go into ACP / Posting / Smilies and Install the smilies package.

(The name is smiley.pak and I chose Delete all on the install.)
