This section allows the administrators to manage the emoticons, or smileys, available for users to use in posts. By default, Intechnic ships In-bulletin with a predefined set of smileys.
A smiley has the following attributes:
- Emotion Id – this is the read-only, unique system ID of a smiley. It is empty for new smileys.
- Name – this field contains the smiley name, which should be descriptive and designate the nature of the smiley. It appears in the alt tag on the post form, explaining to the users its purpose.
- Key Stroke – this field contains the shortcut keystroke that corresponds to the smiley. When used in a post text, this keystroke will be automatically replaces with the image of the smiley. Familiar keystroke example is ‘: )', signifying the smiling face.
- Enabled – this field is the enabled flag of the smiley.
- Location – this field can contain either a remote URL of the smiley's image, or it can be used to upload an image from your workstation.
