add gif emoticons

[NoduleJS]

Is possible to add a list of default gifs as emoticons? I see that xenforo forums have a list of gifs on the emoji section

[TaLoche]

@NoduleJS Yes, I believe you can.
If you use this plugin: https://github.com/NodeBB/nodebb-plugin-emoji#readme
Once installed, you'll have access in your control panel to options in order to set up your own emoticons.
I've added only .gifs and then a simple CSS rule to render their layout does the trick.

@TaLoche it wont work. It work only with images but not with gifs. I think also that is useful an option to use external hosted images/gif. At moment i must upload them on my server

[TaLoche]

@NoduleJS I've hosted my gifs only on my server (public>uploads>emoji) and it works. Did you try the "build emoji assets" button?
You can always try to restart and rebuild your forum.

When you say it doesn't work, do you mean:

• you don't see the plugin options in the control panel?
• you uploaded gifs as emojis but they are still?

i mean that when i try to upload a gif i receive an error message (simple file upload error message).

P.S: but ok, now it work, i think i was trying to upload a too big gif (4MB).

Thanks for help me

@NoduleJS yes in your settings by default on nodebb the max limit for a file is 2048 Ko

@TaLoche said in add gif emoticons:

@NoduleJS yes in your settings by default on nodebb the max limit for a file is 2048 Ko

weird thing is that gif emoji are very small. There is a way to change their default size?

[TaLoche]

@NoduleJS I believe if you add this in your control panel in the CSS custom section, your .gifs should show up fine.

.emoji-customizations {
    height: 100%;
}
