ENASNI TILLER Posted February 5, 2005 Posted February 5, 2005 I'm having trouble uploading emoticons to my forum. I go to other sites find a emoticon I like, right click and save as to my pictures. The I go to the emoticon manager in the cpanel, I then browse my computer for the selected emoticon and click upload. Then I get a message that the upload failed. Any suggestions? Quote
TCH-Bruce Posted February 5, 2005 Posted February 5, 2005 You need to change the folder that stores the emoticons to 777 permission levels. Moving for organization Quote

TCH-Bruce Posted February 6, 2005 Posted February 6, 2005 Try the html folder where you loaded your forum. There should be a folder called emoticons Quote

TCH-Bruce Posted February 6, 2005 Posted February 6, 2005 Where ever you installed your forum. I assume you installed it into a sub folder of your public_html folder. You need to go into what ever folder youinstalled the forum to and then the html folder there. You will then see the emoticons folder. Quote

Other then that I'm totally lost. public_html/invisionboard/html/emoticons public_html/invisionboard/html/emoticons Quote
TCH-Don Posted February 6, 2005 Posted February 6, 2005 When you use cpanels filemanger as you have discovered you click on the folder icon to go inside that folder so when you get to public_html/invisionboard/html/emoticons click on the name emoticons to see options on the right including change permissions. If you have an ftp program (highly recommened) is it is much easier to just select all the files on your computer that you wish to upload and in the other window navagate to the public_html/invisionboard/html/emoticons folder and drag the selected files on your computer and drop them into the window on your site. No permissions to change. Quote
ENASNI TILLER Posted February 6, 2005 Author Posted February 6, 2005 These are the only files I have in the file manager .gnupg 700 .htpasswds 755 .neomail 700 .trash 700 etc 755 mail 750 public_ftp 755 public_html 750 tmp 700 www 750 Create New File .addon-installlog 0 k 644 .addonscgi-InvisionBoard 0 k 600 .contactemail 0 k 600 .cpanel-ducache 3 k 600 .lastlogin Quote
borfast Posted February 6, 2005 Posted February 6, 2005 Click on the folder icons to navigate into folders. If you click the folder/file names you'll be presented with some options on the top-right pane, among which you will see the option for changing file permissions. Hope that helps. Quote

marie b. Posted February 6, 2005 Posted February 6, 2005 If your forum software is up and running, it should come with emoticons already installed (which, I assume, is where you're uploading your chosen emoticons to). Open the panel to post a new topic, and open the emoticon panel from there. Right-click an emoticon, select "Properties" and you'll be able to follow the path to the emoticon folder from there. (Of course, that's assuming that you do have the forum software up and running.) Quote

ENASNI TILLER Posted February 6, 2005 Author Posted February 6, 2005 This is what I got http://verticaloutlawz.com/invisionboard/h...ons/biggrin.gif Any suggestions what folder in the cpanel would be a good place to start? Quote
marie b. Posted February 6, 2005 Posted February 6, 2005 I've done it a couple times when I couldn't remember specific paths to photo directories, so it should work for this too. I'd go from public_html/invisionboard/html/emoticons. You should be able to change the permissions from the folder in cPanel or your FTP software. Quote

marie b. Posted February 6, 2005 Posted February 6, 2005 Log into your cPanel and then click "File Manager." Click the folder icons in this order - public_html / invisionboard / html, and then click the folder name "emoticons" (not the icon itself). On the right hand side, you'll see options that include "Change Permissions." Make sure all of the checkboxes are ticked. You could also log into your FTP client and follow public_html / invisionboard / html, and then right-click on the "emoticons" folder. Permissions can be set through either "properties" or "actions - CHMOD." Quote
borfast Posted February 6, 2005 Posted February 6, 2005 That's why I explained how to navigate into the folders, because it seemed to me that you were looking in the wrong place but didn't know how to get out of there. Follow marie's instructions, that's exactly what you have to do to get to the emoticons folder and change its permissions Quote

In one of my above posts I list the ones in the file manager. Also when I click on one of the folders they do not open with more icons. I just get a option in the upper right hand corner that reads... Delete this folder and all files under it Rename this folder Change Permissions Move this folder Copy this folder If I new how to reach the folder I know how to change the permission. I cant find it in my file manager. Quote
TCH-Bruce Posted February 6, 2005 Posted February 6, 2005 You need to click the folder icon to the left of public_html. That will open up that folder and display other folders and files. Then find the invision folder and click the folder icon to open it. Now you should see the html folder. Click the icon to the left of that and you should see the emoticons folder. Do not click on the name of the folder but the folder icon to the left of the name. Quote
