Solved Emoticon issue

Emoticon issue was created by Ratman
Hi there.

Thanks for the great Kunena Component and the fine Blue Eagle template. I noticed one small glitch: It seems to make a difference if you choose an emoticon from the palette or just enter the code for that emoticon. In the following screenshot the first emoticon is taken from the palette, below I entered the code for it

 

After saving there are two smilies

 

BUT: If I want to edit my posting, the second emoticon just shows a broken Image

 

This also happens if you enter the code for the emoticon and switch to "source" and back to WYSIWYG. It only affects the editor preview. After saving everything is fine again.

Seems to be a bug, because I can reproduce it here in the forum too.

Thanks for the report, we know this issue. Yes, there are some bugs with the smileys. If you choose the emoticons from the smiley bar it adds a link to the smiley-symbol instead the code, therefore the difference.

Thanks rich! So I presume that this bug will be fixed in one of the next releases? 

Another thing that has gone bad is the Emoticon palette itself. Before the update all emoticons on the palette were shown in real-size. Now the "normal" (small) emoticons are shown in real size, but bigger emoticons are scaled down, so that you can not tell what particular emoticon you are choosing:

 

This is okay if you only use emoticons of the same size. I'm using emoticons in different sizes, so this change went in the wrong direction for me. Is it possible to change the behaviour back to the old one?

hmm... you can try it with css. Add this code at the end of your Joomla template- or custom.css. But you must play with the value depending on your smileys (height or width).
Code:
.cke_dialog .cke_hand {     width: 1.5em; }
You can see an example, the left image with original size and right with this code.

Thanks for the code, rich. Unfortunately this does not fix the actual problem. I think the real problem is that the emoticon palette uses a fixed width grid for the emoticons. This is fine if all of your emoticons have the same dimension like 18 x 18 pixels. But I also use non-square images (animated GIFs), for example 25 x100 pixels. Those images get disproportionately decreased in size to make them fit into the grid.

 

Is there any way to use a palette without a grid, like it was before? Or to make the cells of the grid wider?

Maybe was my suggestion not quite right. The smiley bar adjusts the size automatically depending on the numbers and size of the smileys. Try to adjust only the size of smileys with min and max values. It's indifferent whether png or animated gifs (pear and lemon are animated see image).
You can try it also with pixel.
Example:
Code:
.cke_smile {     max-width: 30px;     min-width: 15px; }
