Uploading Smiles Phpbb

[Dumplin]

Ok all I remember is getting the zip file and puting it on my desktop and unzipping it, then I used CuteFP to upload it to what I thought was the right place but after I checked my board only the orig group of smiles was there and not the new ones....so I looked at the file in filemanager and this is where the new ones are:

 

/public_html/phpBB/images/smiles/smiles

 

Now how do I get em in the /public_html/phpBB/images/smiles folder? I tried to move em and nope can't do that.

 

Sorry but I am cluless when it comes to uploading stuff.....next I would like to add some avatars but figgered I would try the smiles first

 

Thanks for any suggestions

If I'm understanding you correctly, it appears you ftp'd the "directory" smiles from your desktop to the /public_html/phpBB/images/smiles on your site. Try removing them, then retry your ftp, opening up the smiles directory on your computer.

 

Don't feel bad...I do it all the time. After a few minutes of being upset that it didn't work, I spend a few minutes asking myself "Why did I do that?" Then just remove and re-add the files making sure I carefully look where I'm ftp'ing from and to!

Ok think I got it.....instead of doing the whole folder with the graphics files I need to open the folder and just send the graphics........ will give it a whirl<G>

 

Thanks!

Ok I deleted the files via cuteFP and copied the files from my desktop to the correct folder and they still didn't show up.......so I went on a hunt......inorder for the smiles to be accesable you have to go into the phpBB General Admin area and click on Smiles and scroll to the bottom and click the

Import Smiley Pack thingy and then click the dropdown with your pack highlighted and volla they are ready to use

 

I am curious if there are any step by step directions on how to do this stuff.....I would like to add avatars to the board as well but all I find is instructions way over my ability to understand

If there are they are probably over at the phpBB site forum.
