We just merged a custom emoji set by @Todd into core and I'm totally in love with it.

Forget emoji, I want to post some Linear A.

For Linear A to work seamlessly you'll need utf8mb4 in the database. See https://github.com/vanilla/vanilla/issues/2082

Wow, the guy who posted that issue knows what he's talking about!

The excitement didn't hold very long...

But my excitement rose when I discovered the EmojiExtender, hidden in the editor folder today.

https://github.com/vanilla/vanilla/tree/master/plugins/editor/EmojiExtender

Is it supposed to be in there?

No, error in my plugin shuffle. Thank you for catching that.

EmojiExtender is now correctly in the root plugins directory and works here again.

Is there a way of making them larger like the old ones ? I can't tell one from the other... They all look the same to me, green pees ... the code below makes them more visible..

.emoji {
  margin-top: -2px;
  margin-bottom: -3px;
  width: 27px;
  height: 27px;
}

Linc

No, they're 15x15 on purpose. Todd has talked about doing an 18x18 set some day, but we definitely cannot stretch out his painstakingly pixel-perfect creations.

Anything is better ...I suppose when Todd needs reading glasses he will see thing my way

.emoji {
margin-top: -2px;
margin-bottom: -3px;
width: 18px;
height: 18px;
}

So I have this issue. and I think you have it to.

If you post just as above, it seems to think it is smile... in quotes maybe...

But if you put it with angel it works...

subdreamer

Test, test.

Edit: Bug confirm. Might be something in the smilie config file (e.g. mislabeling).

">" any emoticon that starts with a > cannot be the lead character on a line otherwise it is assumed to be quoted info.

you can use : naughty : without the spaces.

same with

Then they need to change the naughty input code (which starts with ">") to something like (:C or =:). Reasoning? Front-end user doesn't know that:

Good catch, @valeryan steel.

yes, you could wait for them to figure out a change to the naughty code. and allow Artificial Intelligence to decide what should take precedence mark down or html angle brackets or code for quotes vs. emoticon etc.

informational purposes only - if you are interested.

or you could take the matter into your hands and create your own resource set and modify the manifest.php

'aliases' =>
    array(
        ':)' => 'smile',
        ':D' => 'grin',
        ':(' => 'frown',
        ';)' => 'wink',
        ':\\' => 'confused',
        ':/' => 'confused',
        ':o' => 'open_mouth',
        ':s' => 'confounded',
        ':p' => 'tongue',
        ':\'(' => 'cry',
        ':|' => 'neutral',
        'D:' => 'anguished',
        'B)' => 'sunglasses',
        'o:)' => 'innocent',
        '<3' => 'heart',
    //    '>:)' => 'naughty',   comment out the alias.
        'O.o' => 'surprised',
        'o.O' => 'eh',
        '8-)' => 'glasses',
        '=)' => 'smiley',
        '>_<' => 'rage',
        ':3' => 'blush',
    ),
'editor' =>
    array(
        ':)' => 'smile',
        ':D' => 'smiley',
        ';)' => 'wink',
        ':o' => 'open_mouth',
        ':p' => 'tongue',
        ':(' => 'frown',
        'B)' => 'sunglasses',
        'O.o' => 'surprised',
        ':3' => 'blush',
        '<3' => 'heart',
        'o:)' => 'innocent',
//       '>:)' => 'naughty', 
        ':naughty:' => 'naughty',  


    ),

by commenting out any aliases and modifying the editor array, you can avoid mishaps. the user can then use the dropdown box for emoticon entry. then if you type

                    '>:)'   it will stay as  '>:)'     and : naughty :   

so users who comprehend the emoticon will see the correct emoticon, and those that use : naughty : will see the png replacement as expected and those that click on in the dropdown box will get the correct replacement.

just offering the idea to you, if you decide you want to create a new manifest.php with an alias removal and an editor box replacement.

I don't envision a fix real soon, so the above explanation may be helpful if it is disconcerting.

Thank you for taking the time to reply. I appreciate your input. Hopefully the developers will address this on their/this site (I use a different set of emoticons on my test account which doesn't show this particular issue).
