Link (emoji) assets to app/data
-
Hello. I would like to incude the following emoji set in my Discourse instance: https://mutant.tech/ (or more: twemoji | openmoji). And remove the existing ones as well.
There's a folder which holds the included emoji sets at
app/code/public/images/emoji/. Is it possible to link this folder to an emoji folder underapp/data/in order to add custom sets ?Is that even possible without a change in the Discourse package ?
Thx

https://meta.discourse.org/t/configure-custom-emoji/23365 works well for me.
@joseph thanks for looking into this. I was trying to follow that guide but stoped short because I wanted to remove the existing emojis from my site and then upload an entire pack of emojis. If I understand well, deleting existing emojis is not possible in the interface and upload is only for 10 emojis at the time.

I forgot to precise that the idea was that the new emoji set would replace the already existing/used emoji on the site. If I understand well, the keywords like
:heart:would be linked to a new image. A HTML rebuild would then replace the visuals in all the site posts. -
My first attempt is to replace the 6 standard reaction emojis manually with custom images from within the Discourse admin UI. One has to set the name
heart,+1, etc. before uploading the file. The new images show up as reactions, but now, the original set is not coherent anymore as 6 images differ in style.Second try is to upload the new emoji with a different name and set the new emoji as the 6 reaction choices. That works at first but then the reaction plugin refers to the original set when displaying the bundled reactions under a post.
I went back to the first option but I think the best solution here is still to be able to remove and replace the different emoji folders in
app/data/. -

Once done the steps above, I thought that it is all set. Now, I discovered that there are many more emoji present in quick access at least inside the chat interface. @staff would it be possible to move the
app/code/public/images/emoji/intoapp/data/.../emojiso that one could remove entire emoji sets or to make customization at the source please ?
