Smiley script (add emoticons to your Ning Network!)

[Alessandro Ferrari]

Hello everybody!
I've created a script to add emoticons on your ning's network.
You don't need to ask Ning for the source code of your social network, you just have to put a little script in Analytics (in Manage tab of your social network).

I have got the standard set of emoticon, but if you want a particular set I can personalize the script for you.

It costs 5,57€ per month and you can pay via PayPal.
You can try it on: http://smileytest.ning.com

Let me know what do you think about it.

I've seen Alessandro's test page, from what I've seen, it works great! Go sign up for his script if you want smileys!

UPDATE: now works with threaded forum

very very soon I'll show you a great new stuff and I can tell you that dark-background network won't be a problem anymore!

[Alessandro Ferrari]

hey guys great news!!

I just updated my code and I introduced some great stuff:

You can use custom set of emoticons: newtorks with dark background won't have any problems by now.
I also have set up a page to build set on your own. You can reach it here: http://mrgorefest.host22.com/custom.php. Once your file is ready, you just have to put it as a script file in your Analytic Box in Manage tab of the network, my script will do the rest.
If you want to try the custom set before using on your network, you can do it on a page on my network: http://smileytest.ning.com/forum/topics/test-your-custom-code where you can also check how smileys integrates with your network's background.

To give credits to who has built sets, there's now a little "about-button" near emoticons to display information about set and show all combination to get emoticon.

Go to http://smileytest.ning.com for any doubt and for any informations and stay tuned!

If you want, instead of having the emoticon's bar showed at startup you can use a image-button to hide and show it.
Like this (from a customer's network):


When "Show smileys" is clicked Smileys' bar fade in.
