# Custom Emoji
+Before you add your own custom emoji, check if they are available in an existing pack.
+See `Mix.Tasks.Pleroma.Emoji` for information about emoji packs.
+
To add custom emoji:
-* Add the image file(s) to `priv/static/emoji/custom`
-* In case of conflicts: add the desired shortcode with the path to `config/custom_emoji.txt`, comma-separated and one per line
-* Force recompilation (``mix clean && mix compile``)
+* Create the `STATIC-DIR/emoji/` directory if it doesn't exist
+ (`STATIC-DIR` is configurable, `instance/static/` by default)
+* Create a directory with whatever name you want (custom is a good name to show the purpose of it).
+ This will create a local emoji pack.
+* Put your `.png` emoji files in that directory. In case of conflicts, you can create an `emoji.txt`
+ file in that directory and specify a custom shortcode using the following format:
+ `shortcode, file-path, tag1, tag2, etc`. One emoji per line. Note that if you do so,
+ you'll have to list all other emojis in the pack too.
+* Either restart pleroma or connect to the iex session pleroma's running and
+ run `Pleroma.Emoji.reload/0` in it.
Example:
-image files (in `/priv/static/emoji/custom`): `happy.png` and `sad.png`
+image files (in `instance/static/emoji/custom`): `happy.png` and `sad.png`
-content of `config/custom_emoji.txt`:
+content of `emoji.txt`:
```
happy, /emoji/custom/happy.png, Tag1,Tag2
sad, /emoji/custom/sad.png, Tag1
The files should be PNG (APNG is okay with `.png` for `image/png` Content-type) and under 50kb for compatibility with mastodon.
-# Emoji tags
-
-Changing default tags:
-
-* For `Finmoji`, `emoji.txt` and `custom_emoji.txt` are added default tags, which can be configured in the `config.exs`:
-* For emoji loaded from globs:
- - `priv/static/emoji/custom/*.png` - `custom_tag`, can be configured in `config.exs`
- - `priv/static/emoji/custom/TagName/*.png` - folder (`TagName`) is used as tag
+Default file extentions and locations for emojis are set in `config.exs`. To use different locations or file-extentions, add the `shortcode_globs` to your secrets file (`prod.secret.exs` or `dev.secret.exs`) and edit it. Note that not all fediverse-software will show emojis with other file extentions:
+```elixir
+config :pleroma, :emoji, shortcode_globs: ["/emoji/custom/**/*.png", "/emoji/custom/**/*.gif"]
+```
+## Emoji tags (groups)
+Default tags are set in `config.exs`. To set your own tags, copy the structure to your secrets file (`prod.secret.exs` or `dev.secret.exs`) and edit it.
+```elixir
+config :pleroma, :emoji,
+ shortcode_globs: ["/emoji/custom/**/*.png"],
+ groups: [
+ Finmoji: "/finmoji/128px/*-128.png",
+ Custom: ["/emoji/*.png", "/emoji/custom/*.png"]
+ ]
```
+
+Order of the `groups` matters, so to override default tags just put your group on top of the list. E.g:
+```elixir
config :pleroma, :emoji,
shortcode_globs: ["/emoji/custom/**/*.png"],
- custom_tag: "Custom", # Default tag for emoji in `priv/static/emoji/custom` path
- finmoji_tag: "Finmoji", # Default tag for Finmoji
- emoji_tag: "Emoji", # Default tag for emoji.txt
- custom_emoji_tag: "Custom" # Default tag for custom_emoji.txt
+ groups: [
+ "Finmoji special": "/finmoji/128px/a_trusted_friend-128.png", # special file
+ "Cirno": "/emoji/custom/cirno*.png", # png files in /emoji/custom/ which start with `cirno`
+ "Special group": "/emoji/custom/special_folder/*.png", # png files in /emoji/custom/special_folder/
+ "Another group": "/emoji/custom/special_folder/*/.png", # png files in /emoji/custom/special_folder/ subfolders
+ Finmoji: "/finmoji/128px/*-128.png",
+ Custom: ["/emoji/*.png", "/emoji/custom/*.png"]
+ ]
```
+
+Priority of tags assigns in emoji.txt and custom.txt:
+
+`tag in file > special group setting in config.exs > default setting in config.exs`
+
+Priority for globs:
+
+`special group setting in config.exs > default setting in config.exs`
