Smileys Module - lost smileys; limitation? While working on the Phorum Smileys module, adding icons, twice it has dumped everything I have added. This last time the error message given was: Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/pmwf/docs/Phorum/mods/smileys/smileyslib.php on line 82 The last icon I added was present, the rest were dumped and the settings restored to the default. This forum uses a lot of icons, is there a limitation causing this? Or something else? I need this fixed so I don't end up going through this again and again...

But really.. you want to provide *that* many smileys?
It's up to you of course, but by doing that alone, you'd put a nice performance hit on the server (asuming that you're also using the editor tools to have the smileys in a popup, which makes the browser load all available smileys).]]> Maurice Makaay Phorum Support Mon, 22 Dec 2008 17:02:15 -0600 https://www.phorum.org/support/read.php?61,131073,135587#msg-135587 Re: Smileys Module - lost smileys; limitation? https://www.phorum.org/support/read.php?61,131073,135587#msg-135587
I have the same problem, I lost all my smileys when I reached about 250. It happened three times when I discovered it was due to to number of smileys, full of work to recreat all the smileys and I don't if I can save a file to avoid recreated them.

I change the phorum_settings data MEDIUMTEXT , are you sure I can put now a lot of smileys whitout risk to lost them ?? ans how many : 1000 smileys ??]]> victoria Phorum Support Mon, 22 Dec 2008 15:16:55 -0600 https://www.phorum.org/support/read.php?61,131073,131161#msg-131161 Re: Smileys Module - lost smileys; limitation? https://www.phorum.org/support/read.php?61,131073,131161#msg-131161 James E.

My DB guy has gotten a copy of the database and is going to check tomorrow to see what happened. The only thing I did sice he made the change suggested above was add about 20 smileys, then it just clamed up. Once he has a chance to review it and let's me know what he found I'll post here.]]> James E.

Damn... that's a lot.

You could fix it by increasing the storage size for the settings table field "data". Change the data type from TEXT to MEDIUMTEXT. That should give you more than enough space. You could do this by using some db management program or by issuing the query: 
ALTER TABLE phorum_settings
CHANGE data data MEDIUMTEXT NOT NULL DEFAULT ''

(phorum_settings might be something different based on your db prefix setting)

Thanks, I had my DB guy make the change and I was able to add a hanful of icons...now the database isn't responding...]]> James E.
