Smileys not converting right after import vBulletin forum

    I'm having a problem with old smilies on my forum.


    Burningboard needs a space before and after the smiley in order to turn it into the image, but in practice that kinda beats a big protion of the smilies we have in place. Anyone has an idea?

    If this is posted in the wrong section, feel free to move it to the right one.

    I'm just trying a bunch of stuff. Let me know if you think I'm on the right track. Because I haven't got a clue what I'm doing.


    In the \wcf\acp\templates folder I found bbcodeAdd.tpl, bbcodeList.tpl, bbcodeMediaproviderAdd.tpl, bbcodeMediaProviderList.tpl & bbCodeSelectOptionType.
    I also found SmileyList & SmileyAdd.tpl


    I presume I should alter one of those files in the same fashion as suggested in the phpbb link I provided.

    i think its better if you dont alter the default ones and make a new template group and change your style template group to that new group

    It makes absolutly no sense to edit templates...
    Smileys aren't includet by templates.
    The only way to do this would be an eventlistener which fires at beforeParsing@MessageParser and adds dynamically the missing whitespaces.
    It's not nice and not really clean but it should work...

    Thanks guys! I'll keep looking. If I ever find how to fix this, I'll post here how I did it (actually rather how someone else fixed it for me :P )
