Smileys
Usage
DokuWiki can convert text smileys to their graphically equivalent. Smileys images are stored in the lib/images/smileys/
directory and configured in the conf/smileys.conf
file.
Customize smileys
To add your own smileys, and make them upgrade-safe as well, you should follow these instructions instead of mixing them with the default-smileys from Dokuwiki-package:
- Create a new folder called
local
inside the smileys-dirlib/images/smileys/local
and put the imagefiles into it (make sure the images are readable by the webserver)
- Create a custom smiley-config file at
conf/smileys.local.conf
and prefix each image filename with “
local/
…”
An example configfile could look like this:
# Custom Smileys # Images are seend from the smiley directory lib/images/smileys/ # TEXT_TO_REPLACE FILENAME_OF_IMAGE # :MYFACE: local/i_am_so_pretty.jpg
Notes and hints
- It is good practice to surround your own text macros with colons (“:”), like “
:REPLACEME:
” - You can't use
#
or$
in the configuration file. - If your newly added smiley does not appear in your edit toolbar popup, it is almost always a problem of caching. You may have to purge the cache, then refresh your page.
User provided additional smileys
The following smileys were created by DokuWiki users, using a similar style the default ones. If you like them place them in your smiley directory and adjust the config file.
