smiley emoticons
-
is there a emoticons plugin for bbpress?
-
this one has integration with bbpress https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-monalisa/
@Robkk thanks, just installed and works perfect.
@Robkk thank you.
Just so you guys know WordPress comes with its own emoticons and also since the latest version you can post emojis.
wp-monalisa is a good plugin for custom smilies and stickers though.
It also has a cool feature to import some phpBB smiley packs.
Thank you for Monalisa link.
On the wordpress I know is that plug. However, this system wp-monalisa does not work; /
make sure you check out the plugin page to see that you have it set up correctly.
I have just tried to load the wp-monalisa plugin and it turned everything in my Forums OFF. Was a bit disconcerting as when I logged into the Forum the forum index did not show and the links to the Forum would not work, nor the pages.
Then when I deactivated the wp-monalisa plugin everything was back to normal again.
There must be a hick up somewhere as I don’t have anything special – just the BBPress Forum plugin and the Ultimate Member plugin.

What exactly did it turn off?? I have an issue where the smiley code won’t paste and that is it.

Link to your forum so I could see this. It may just be a bbPress theme compat/theme issue.

I could replicate an issue a little with using a default theme and while having TinyMCE activated, and the default toolbar editor tab is the HTML one it doesn’t seem to work unless I switch to TinyMCE and back.
It does work with bbPress and how its default quicktags editor though.
Thanks for the prompt reply robkk.
Please find enclosed a link for the test Website:
http://totius.tk/When I activate Mona Lisa, the BBPress Forum disappears. You only see the link in the navigation bar, but it isn’t linked any more. When you click on it it is dead. Then when I deactivate the Mona Lisa plugin, the Forum is back again.
I first started with a stand alone BBPress Forum, i.e. one directly loaded from the BBPress Website, as I wanted to experiment to see how good it is. There are the three plugins that come loaded with the site. But when I try to load any of the other plugins they won’t install. I.e. I would upload them to the plugins folder through cPanel, they do show, but when I click on them, there is an error message that comes up.
Then next I tried BBPress with WordPress – i.e. I started from scratch with a WordPress site and loaded it as a plugin as per the totius.tk example. I was able to download and install the Monalisa plugin, but when I activate it, the BBPress forum disappears. The blog part however is active. Only the forum is disabled.
So yes, there has to be a conflict between BBPress and the Mona Lisa plugin.
By the way, this is what my WordPress (up to date version) dashboard Settings/Writing looks like. You mention
while having TinyMCE activated, and the default toolbar editor tab is the HTML one
Where do I activate TinyMCE and find the default toolbar editor in WordPress? Or are you talking about BBPress Dashboard?
It does work with bbPress and how its default quicktags editor though.
As previously mentioned it didn’t work with a freshly installed bbPress Website. I had nothing else installed except the bbPress Forum. The enclosed totius.tk however is now a plugin.
Is there anything I could have done when it was a bbpress stand alone for the plugin to have been able to be installed?
Sorry, I forgot to post the WordPress Dashboard that comes up for Settings/Writing:
Also apologies for the late reply. It’s been hectic work wise.

Well I am not seeing an issue with my forums disappearing with WP Monalisa activated.

Well your not using TinyMCE so you would see the error I come across. Like said there is an issue, so you may not need to activate it. There is a plugin on wordpress repository and a code snippet in the codex to allow TinyMCE.
As previously mentioned it didn’t work with a freshly installed bbPress Website. I had nothing else installed except the bbPress Forum. The enclosed totius.tk however is now a plugin.
Yes, wordpress plugins do not work for the old standalone version, but with the plugin version. I cannot test to see if an install of bbPress v1 would cause an issue, as I cannot run this on wamp. Kind of do not know how to install bbPress v1 anyway.
Sorry, I forgot to post the WordPress Dashboard that comes up for Settings/Writing:
A new version of WordPress probably removed the smilies setting like the wp monalisa plugin says, there was a version with that setting before.
I am currently developing a new forum site that has a conservative older target audience. I am not sure at this stage whether those users would appreciate the use of emoticons. However, I would like to test using emoticons once the site is live.
If I install the Mona Lisa plugin and then sometime in the future I decide to delete it, is there any easy way to remove the ;-), :yes:,:cry: labels that remain in the text of my user’s replies.
If these emoticon labels can only be edited manually from each reply, then removing the Mona Lisa plugin in the future would create a huge editing problem.
The same issue would arise if, some time in the future, support is no longer provided for that plugin.
I look forward to your reply and thank you in advance for your input.
Kind Regards

@khunmax WordPress has smilies and emoji included in it, but if you need a plugin to customize the images used for each text smiley
:)or full text output:smile:, then use WP-MonaLisa. So as long as you just use custom images for the default full text and smiley text to output some custom smilies and images, it will fallback to the normal WP emoji, any custom ones will not fall back.https://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Smilies
https://codex.wordpress.org/EmojiIn the future you might need to use a search and replace plugin to revsolve any custom smiley outputs that might just output something like
:custom_smiley::)🙂
