[RFC] Smilies in a dropdown box

[sahil505]

How can I get the existing code so that I can add on to it the drop-down feature?

[hanakin]

everything should be in the guide i emailed you but you can start by forking the repo https://github.com/phpbb/phpbb/tree/master

[sahil505]

should i consider it as an improvement or new feature? Also what is the project type? Website (WEBSITE)?

[DavidIQ]

Website tracker is for the website so phpBB core work has no connection to that tracker.

[sahil505]

well i just created an issue https://tracker.phpbb.com/browse/WEBSITE-1316. how do i create ticket from this?

[DavidIQ]

I've moved it to the correct tracker. Please create future tickets in the correct tracker, in this case the PHPBB3 tracker, as the WEBSITE tracker is for issues with our websites under the phpbb.com domain.

Something along the same lines might be just as beneficial or more so now that we support emojis is to have some sort of tool to enter them. Might do away with them completely?

Hey, I'm almost done with smilies in a dropdown. Might need a little bit of help from you all in finishing it up.

But for the code that I have written, what should I do next?

You can create a pull request against the phpBB repository for the ticket you created (PHPBB3-15109) when you're done.
The developers can then see your implementation and provide feedback on it.

not to steal the topic but its slightly related to the smiles, do we or should we eliminate them in the new theme? with the advent of emojis are smiles still relavent? possibly add something like https://github.com/diy/jquery-emojiarea instead? and change the current code we use for the current smiles to populate the emoji equivalents.
