Mood theme troubles

[boji]

I downloaded a mood theme (created my an LJ user) and wanted to import it here. After uploading the 133 png's to photobucket, I followed the instructions at Admin console, pasted in the relevant codes (i.e. the four digit number and url where the picture is pasted) and got nothing but error images from photobucket.

When I looked at the mood theme codes - through the link via customize style - I saw that DW had added pre-named moods to the end of each png url so rather than read [first part of url here then/accomplised.png] for instance, it reads:

[first part of url here then/accomplised.pngangry.png]

The latter definition having been added by dreamwidth.

Does anyone know of a work around?

I've just uploaded a new theme to make sure it worked and it worked for me so let's make sure you had the right set commands. Sorry if I'm repeating info you already know.

Each set command for each mood must look like this:

moodtheme_setpic ##### 108 http://www.yoursite.com/artistic.gif xx yy

#### being the ID of your mood theme that you got when you did moodtheme_create.
108 is the number of the artistic mood (every mood has a different one).
xx is the width of the icons.
yy is their height.
No blanks are allowed in the URL.

Is this what you got?

Edit: just to check you have the right number for the mooods: accomplished is 90 and angry is 2. Is this correct in your file?

I tested pasting a different mood theme url into the custom mood theme editor - one which was a .jpg file and not a .png.

That loads just fine. Something about the image being a .png file results in an error image from photobucket saying that the image has been deleted or moved. Which is hasn't.

I'm taking this to mean that the console doesn't currently 'read' png's - or that there's some disconnect from Photobucket.

Sigh.

Thank you for your detailed comment that did help me check my way through everything prior to realising this.

That's odd. I have two .png mood themes. I'm using one actually. But I've uploaded them a while ago. Maybe PB/DW got stupid since then.

You're most welcome. I'm glad you figured it out.

we don't treat .png files any way different than .jpgs, so it's probably photobucket! You could try downloading the mood theme and re-uploading it somewhere else to make sure?

Photobucket was, for some bizare reason adding spaces in the URL where there ought to be none and converting the sapces to %. I went through and tweaked/fixed links on edit and it is now working.

Hurrah!

Thank you.

Oooh, I'm glad you got it sorted!

[boji]

Me too!

Thank you.

You could try pasting in the first part of the URL without accomplished.png etc. on the end, though I don't know if that will actually fix it.
