Topic: No Img Tags (Smilies etc.)

I have some problems with the images. I don't see an Icon if a new Topic was posted.

Idem for the smilies. if i enter a Smily in textformat, the bbcode don't convert it in an icon. I see it like an worng link.

All the options are on but i don't see icons.. sad

Kind regards
Mippo

Re: No Img Tags (Smilies etc.)

Make sure you've uploaded the img directory and check the permissions.

"In order for avatar uploads to work, the user account under which the webserver runs must have write permissions to the avatar directory. In UNIX (or UNIX-like) operating systems, this is usually done via the command "chmod". Most FTP clients have support for this and it is usually done by right-clicking the directory and selecting something along the lines of "Attributes" or "Permissions". If you don't know what values to enter, try 0777 (or just 777 if you can only enter three digits)." -- From the PunBB FAQ.

Try using chmod to set the directory permissions for img as follows:
img - 0644
img/smilies - 0644
img/avatars - 0666

Reply to let us know if it worked...

Hello,

Yes, i done it before. I think that's not the problem.

-> This smily smile is show by a scuare. (It looks like that the smilies are not present or the hiperlink is wrong..)

You could see this on this adress.

Re: No Img Tags (Smilies etc.)

But that's just it, the hyperlink isn't wrong, as by default, smilies are placed in forumroot/img/smilies.

So for example, these PunBB forums have their smilies in:
http://punbb.org/forums/img/smilies/

But http://www.cdjreiden.lu/website/forum/img/smilies/ goes nowhere.

Err ah, edited ...

Here's what Mozilla Firefox (my web browser) told me when I tried to direcly view the image:

The image ?http://www.cdjreiden.lu/website/forum/img/smilies/smile.png? cannot be displayed, because it contains errors.

Try re-uploading the images, perhaps re-extracting them from the zip first.
