How to Add Custom Smilies to Cutenews Tutorial - The Steps

Go into your FTP and then go -> Cutenews (the main folder) -> Data -> Emoticons

There are files in this folder already - highlight them all and delete them.

Now upload the new smilies you downloaded.

Now go into your browser, go to the Cutenews control panel and then look for the main tabs. Go -> Options -> System Configurations

You’ll now find a little field and close to it, it’ll say “Smilies” - make sure to delete any text inside the long field (if any).

Now, move your browser and FTP client so you can see both side by side. You’re going to enter the names of the smilies into the long field (in the browser) minus the .gif - so just the name.

Example (in the field): wink,smile,laugh,happy

Example (in FTP): wink.gif smile.gif laugh.gif happy.gif

So, enter each smiley name into that field, separate each smiley with a comma.

And that’s it! If you have any problems or questions regarding this How to Add Custom Smilies to Cutenews Tutorial then please do leave a comment below.
