ocPortal Tutorial: The ocPortal emoticon system
Written by Chris Graham, ocProducts
{!DOC_EMOTICONS}If you are using a third-party forum, that forum will be responsible for management of emoticons, and ocPortal will use those from the forum. A list of available emoticons for use in Comcode (Comcode supports emoticons) is presented on the Comcode user-guide, linked to next to Comcode supporting fields.
If you are using the ocPortal forum, OCF, emoticon management features are provided, as well as a very large set of emoticons.

Adding an emoticon |
Images are associated with the 'code' that is typed to place the emoticon. You may have multiple codes per image, by using a single image in multiple emoticons: the interface allows you to select from existing images when you add.
Emoticons are given a relevancy level, which determines in what areas they are shown. The relevancy levels are described in the interface.
You can also determine whether an emoticon can be used as a 'topic emoticon' (an emoticon placed next to a topic on the forum). It is best to only use standard sized emoticons as topic emoticons.
