Recently, Forumotion included the option to add a Twemoji button via the Administration Panel. That button is not new, but until now you had to add it manually as an external Javascript code. Because of that change, some upgrades have been made, for example the ability to add a search bar like in Twitter.

This post is to illustrate how other basic changes can be made, and they should work in any forum version.

The first thing you may want to change is the appearance of the dropbox.

Basic appearance changes

You can do that with CSS. Go to the AP  Display  Colors  CSS Stylesheet

There you can change the size of the dropbox, adding this:

Code:

.sceditor-dropdown.sceditor-twemojifa {
    width: 256px;
    height: 320px;
}

You can also change the background of the dropbox. If the background is dark, I suggest changing the color of the text as well...

Code:

.sceditor-dropdown.sceditor-twemojifa {
    background: #1e1f21;
    color: #ccc;
}

...and also the color of the link to Twemoji (both the default color and hovered), like this:

Code:

.sceditor-dropdown.sceditor-twemojifa a, .sceditor-dropdown.sceditor-twemojifa a:link {
    color: #b8fbff !important;
}

.sceditor-dropdown.sceditor-twemojifa a:hover {
    background: none;
    color: #52c4ff !important;
}

Finally, another possible change is the effect on the icons when they are hovered. By default, their opacity changes to 0.7, to avoid that you can simply change that attribute to inherit.

Code:

.sceditor-twemojifa img:hover {
    opacity: inherit !important;
    /* Set here custom hover effect */
}

After that you can apply a custom effect, like a brightness filter;

Brighter:	Code: filter: brightness(1.2);
Darker:	Code: filter: brightness(0.8);

or maybe an opacity filter a bit stronger than default.
Another option is a scale change, with

Code: transform: scale(1.2);

Icon size, margin between icons and tooltip

To apply those changes, go to AP  Modules  HTML & JAVASCRIPT  Javascript codes management
Add a new code, with name Twemoji Edit and placement In all the pages.

Code:

/*
Name: Twemoji Edit
Author: Wecoc
Date: 10-03-2021
Placement: In all the pages
*/
 
$(function() {
 
  // --------------------- PROPERTIES ---------------------
  // Set here the size of the emojis (Default: 16, Recommended: 20)
  var twemoji_icon_size = 20;
  // Margin between emojis in the dropbox (Default: 3)
  var twemoji_margin = 3;
  // --------------------- PROPERTIES ---------------------
 
  var twemoji_options = [16, 36, 72];
  function get_closer_twemoji_set(size) {
    if (size > twemoji_options[twemoji_options.length-1]) {
      return twemoji_options[twemoji_options.length-1];
    }
    for(var i=0; i < twemoji_options.length; i++) {
      if (twemoji_options[i] >= size) {
        return twemoji_options[i]
      }
    }
  }
  function twemoji_needs_resize(size) {
    return !(twemoji_options.includes(size));
  }
 
  if ($.sceditor) {
    $.sceditor.command.set('twemojifa', {
      exec: function(c) {
          var e = this;
          $.sceditor.command.get('twemojifa').dropDown(e, c, function(icon) {
              var s = twemoji_icon_size;
              if (twemoji_needs_resize(s)) {
                e.insert('&nbsp;[img('+s+'px,'+s+'px)]' + icon + '[/img]&nbsp;', '', true, true, true);
              } else {
                e.insert('&nbsp;[img]' + icon + '[/img]&nbsp;', '', true, true, true);
              }
          })
      },
      txtExec: function(c) {
          var e = this;
          $.sceditor.command.get('twemojifa').dropDown(e, c, function(icon) {
              var s = twemoji_icon_size;
              if (twemoji_needs_resize(s)) {
                e.insert(' [img('+s+'px,'+s+'px)]' + icon + '[/img] ', '', true, true, true);
              } else {
                e.insert(' [img]' + icon + '[/img] ', '', true, true, true);
              }
          })
      },
      dropDown: function(editor, caller, callback) {
          if (!fa_emoji.element) {
              fa_emoji.element = document.createElement('DIV');
              if (typeof twemoji !== 'undefined') {
                  fa_emoji.element.innerHTML = "<div style=\"width:100%;text-align:center;height:20px;\">Emojis by <a href=\"http://twemoji.maxcdn.com/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">twemoji</a></div>" + twemoji.parse(fa_emoji.emoji_list, {
                      size: get_closer_twemoji_set(twemoji_icon_size),
                      attributes: function() {
                          return {
                            style: 'display:none; width:' + twemoji_icon_size + 'px; height:' +
                              twemoji_icon_size + 'px; padding:0; margin:' + twemoji_margin + 'px;'
                          }
                      }
                  }).replace(/\s(?=<|$)/g, '')
              }
              fa_emoji.image = {
                  collection: $('img', fa_emoji.element),
                  index: 0,
                  timeout: [0, 1000],
                  load: window.setInterval(function() {
                      if (fa_emoji.image.collection[fa_emoji.image.index].complete) {
                          fa_emoji.image.index++;
                          if (fa_emoji.image.collection[fa_emoji.image.index]) {
                              fa_emoji.image.collection[fa_emoji.image.index].style.display = '';
                              fa_emoji.image.timeout[0] = 0
                          } else {
                              window.clearInterval(fa_emoji.image.load);
                              fa_emoji.image.load = 'COMPLETE'
                          }
                      } else if (++fa_emoji.image.timeout[0] > fa_emoji.image.timeout[1]) {
                          window.clearInterval(fa_emoji.image.load);
                          fa_emoji.image.load = 'ERROR'
                      }
                  }, 10)
              };
              fa_emoji.image.collection[fa_emoji.image.index].style.display = ''
          }
          $(fa_emoji.element).click(function(e) {
              var target = e.target;
              if (target.tagName == 'IMG') {
                  callback(target.src)
              }
          });
          editor.createDropDown(caller, 'twemojifa', fa_emoji.element)
      },
      tooltip: "Twemoji"
    });
  }
});

On the very start, you can set the size of the icons (I recommend values between 16 and 72), and also the margin between emojis in the emoji list.

About size options:

To change the tooltip "Twemoji" to something else, for example "Emojis" as in this forum, go to the line 99 (in the very end of the code).

Result:

Those are indeed some nice changes. Good stuff!

I added this to my Phpbb3 forum and it removed my toolbar and my login button's stopped all my other javaScripts working right had to use my url / login to get back on my forum lol.

I'm using it on a Phpbb3 forum myself and it works fine, so I don't know what went wrong... please check the console to see if it displays any error.
Edit: I just found it; it was causing problems on pages where SCEditor is not defined. Now it will work

Also, I didn't mention it before but in my forum I use it with the search bar, so it's compatible with it.

it's working great now thanks
