Emoji Picker

EmojiOne Area for Flarum

Screenshot of the editor
Screenshot of the settings

This extension adds the EmojiOne Area emoji picker to Flarum.

Please note that, as the name suggests, the emoji list and images used in this library are EmojiOne, which was previously used by Flarum until beta 7.

However Flarum now switched to Twemoji, which means the images shown in the picker and those inserted in the post will be (slightly or radically) different.

The picker is dynamically loaded from jsDelivr CDN when opened, which means this extension has virtually no impact on performance until the user interacts with the picker.

Installation

composer require clarkwinkelmann/flarum-ext-emojionearea

Support

This extension is under minimal maintenance.

It was developed for a client and released as open-source for the benefit of the community.
I might publish simple bugfixes or compatibility updates for free.

You can contact me to sponsor additional features or updates.

Support is offered on a "best effort" basis through the Flarum community thread.

clarkwinkelmann awesome! Much needed extension. Do you take bitcoin donations?

clarkwinkelmann As we bundle the emojione and emojioneArea libraries, the javascript for this extension is > 650kB, which can easily double or triple your assets size ⚠️ It's up to you to decide if it's worth it.

Hi there 😀

Is there any plan to reduce the load time ? Or to load the library after the composer box ? This is my only problem with this extension, particularly on mobile...

Finally! Great! Thank you!

Wonderful!
and
Thank you!

Thanks so much. However it appears to have broken the default selector where if typing a colon and then the name of an emoji it would start searching. This seems to be broken after enabling this extension. Can we have both?

clarkwinkelmann

Thanks for the support ? !

Both popups work fine together for me on Firefox.

tankerkiller125 What browser are you using ? Is there an error in the console ?

tankerkiller125

clarkwinkelmann Google Chrome. Doesn't seem to be any error. And seems to work on the mobile version of chrome. It may have just been Cloudflare messing with things. I'll double check in the morning.

clarkwinkelmann It looks like Cloudflare and my browser did some weird caching. The plugin works exactly as it should! Thank you so much, the people on my forum LOVE emojis and this will help them tremendously. ?

Excellent extension thanks very much @clarkwinkelmann, can confirm able to type colon and name of emoji as well ... using Firefox too.

tankerkiller125 Cloudflare messes with everything, that's a pretty sound bet for your culprit.

clarkwinkelmann

I'm also running a Flarum instance behind Cloudflare, no issue with my extension so far. But I need to wait for tomorrow users to come by and break everything ?

Thank you !

Edit : Does not work for me, got an error when activating the extension :

POST https://xxx.xxx/api/extensions/clarkwinkelmann-emojionearea

Internal Server Error

And it crashes the whole forum.

clarkwinkelmann

BlackSheep do you have some debug information to give me ? I have no way to reproduce that ?

What is the internal server error message in Flarum log ? Do you have other third-party extensions ? Did you try in debug mode ?

Install went well for me, on DevFlarum and apparently for a few other people as well, so I think it has something to do with your particular configuration/environment ?

meetdilip

It works as in Discord, right ? Nice addition :thumbup_tone1:

clarkwinkelmann I had debug mode launched, and it's all their was in the flarum debug message.

I launched a composer update, reinstalled the extension, got the same error message but this time it seems to work. That's a first.

Nginx got a bit mad :

PHP message: PHP Deprecated:  Usage of error middleware is deprecated as of 1.3.0, and will be removed in

BlackSheep That error message does not seem related to my extension ?

Did you call that api enpoint directly ? Or does it come from the admin GUI ? I can't get to see the API calls in admin with Firefox Debug Tools as it refreshes the page immediately...

Glad if it works now. Let met know if you encounter other problems !

clarkwinkelmann That error message does not seem related to my extension

Read a bit closer the error message request: "POST /api/extensions/clarkwinkelmann-emojionearea HTTP/1.1", it's linked.

clarkwinkelmann Did you call that api enpoint directly ?

clarkwinkelmann Or does it come from the admin GUI ?

Yes.

clarkwinkelmann

BlackSheep Okay I managed to see the request in Chrome. It always works and returns a 200 HTTP status code.

Given I don't use any Zend method or middleware directly (the PHP is dead-simple for my plugin !) I suppose this is caused by the core code that enable extensions.

I just noticed it's not the first time I see that error message. It has something to do with Flarum in general. It's being discussed here https://discuss.flarum.org/d/4218-zend-stratigility-debug-message-after-composer-update and I see a few issues on GitHub https://github.com/flarum/core/search?q=zendframework%2Fzend-stratigility&type=Issues&utf8=%E2%9C%93

In the above topic it is said this can be left as-it. The fix in the composer file is also somewhat simple.

You probably also face this issue when enabling other extension ? We can continue the discussion on that linked topic I believe.

BlackSheep

clarkwinkelmann I see what's all about, i did this installation a while ago and the fix for this problem was not done for this installation, my bad ! It works well ?

tankerkiller125

clarkwinkelmann I can confirm that the middleware thing is a flarum/core issue and not one related to any extensions.
