thanks, just gave it a go and all is looking good with the inbuilt custom emoji functionality - all I had to do was create a plugin component to allow differnet sizes for emojis as described here: Configure custom emoji
" Resizing custom emoji
By default, all emoji are resized via CSS to 20x20, but this can be overridden with custom CSS. To maintain the correct aspect ratio and native size in posts, add the following CSS:"
> /* Make emoji normal size (don't force square) */
> div.topic-post img.emoji[src*="uploads"],
> div.d-editor-preview img.emoji[src*="uploads"],
> div.emoji-modal img.emoji[src*="uploads"],
> div.d-editor-textarea-wrapper img.emoji[src*="uploads"],
> div.title-wrapper img.emoji[src*="uploads"],
> td.main-link img.emoji[src*="uploads"] {
> width: auto;
> height: auto;
> }
and this is how to create a plugin component for custom css if anyone else stumbles across this post! (super easy, 2 min job)
Brilliant! It’s little things like this that give it the comfy custom feel
