NoGi Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Is there an easy way to manage emoticons in IPS4 via the ACP? Mine just looks like a huge mess at the moment and via the ACP I can only see the ability to delete one by one which will take some time. Don’t have access to sftp at the moment.

NoGi Posted April 15, 2015 Author Share Posted April 15, 2015 Seems like it can only be done one at a time via the ACP. It would be great if we could manage (e.g. remove) them in bulk. The Old Man 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's certainly not publisher friendly at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Old Man Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 I thought this was supposed to be finally sorted out in IPS4? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ossipetz Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Oh. I thought i messed my smilies up myself somehow I had two groups after the upgrade. The good one and another one from dont know where. I deleted them directly in the database by their group name in the emoticon table. That worked quite well. Deleting one by one in the admin CP would have made me mad with all the confirmations and scrolling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JarredB Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 (edited) If it's going to be easier for you, you can delete all the emoticons by going to your database finding the table "core_emoticons" and deleting all the rows in that table. Make sure you go to System > Files and click the "Remove Orphaned Files" button to delete the emoticon images since they will no longer be linked to any database entries. You will also need to delete store file for the emoticons which you can find in the "Datastore" folder named "emoticons.xxxx.ipstore".If you had additional custom groups, you may also need to delete the addition language keys for those groups if you really want to clear it all out.Good luck Edited April 15, 2015 by BlistDev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoGi Posted April 15, 2015 Author Share Posted April 15, 2015 There really needs to be a better way of doing this via the ACP. Even something as simple as a select all (in current category) would go a long way in resolving this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Old Man Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 IPS, please could we have an official response to this issue? Many thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Old Man Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 (edited) In the release notes for v4.0.2 it says "Emoticon sets can now be reordered. You can also now delete entire sets." Edited April 21, 2015 by The Old Man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
