OrkutFew days after writing the post “Write Orkut scraps in Indian languages” using Greasemonkey script, Google has introduced that feature and now it is inbuilt in Orkut. Now, I will show you the way to embed Yahoo emoticons into your Orkut scraps. A little emoticon can express your feeling much better than words.

For this, we need, as usual, Firefox, GreaseMonkey extension for Firefox, and Yahoo Emoticons User Script.

Read my previous post about installing GreaseMonkey in Firefox. If you know how to install an extension in Firefox, just click here and install GreaseMonkey.  Restart the Firefox and click here to get the user script, which GreaseMonkey instantly recognizes and comes up with a window asking for confirmation. Click “Install” and you are done. Now go to your scrapbook and you will see Yahoo and MSN emoticons appearing below the scrap box. Whenever you need an emoticon to be attached to the scrap, just click on the appropriate icon and a link will be inserted into your scrap that turns into an emoticon when it is posted. Enjoy!!!

Yahoo Emoticons in Orkut Scrap

Update: May 30, 2008

Modified the script to work for orkut.co.in.

Update: July 17, 2009

PhotoBucket account was inactive and showing up “inactive msg blocks” in place of emoticons.  Moved all emoticons to ImageShack for better service.

Update: September 6, 2009

Orkut changed the scrap book path.  Modified the script to work with the new path.

    @binit
    I haven’t used any code. I think i wrote first about that script. Just write unique content and you can see your blog appearing on top of search results.

    Thanks for taking time to comment!

    @Sagar,

    This is for scraps only.

  34. 34. pooja..No Gravatar Says:

    dese smileys r small in sizehow to improve their size

  35. 35. NaveenNo Gravatar Says:

    Search for big size emoticons, download them and upload to photobucket or imageshack. Once these emoticons are uploaded and you got the direct link, edit the script and modify the image URLs.

    If you are not able to do that, search for the emoticons you need and mail me the link, I will make the script for you :)

    its just coming in words …not findin the way 2 instal it
    hope ull reply soon..thanx in advance

  42. 42. NaveenNo Gravatar Says:

    You need to have Firefox and then install Greasemonkey extension: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/748

    Click on the Greasemonkey extension at the bottom of the Firefox, so that it turns yellow indicating that the extension is active. Then, click on this script: http://www.naveen.info/wp-content/uploads/www.naveen.info.user.js

    It recognizes script and installs it. When you go to scrap book…you can see the Yahoo and MSN emoticons below the box to insert it in scraps.

  45. 45. aishaNo Gravatar Says:

    hmm..!! how to install fonts on orkut..??

  46. 46. NaveenNo Gravatar Says:

    No, you cannot. Instead you can install in your system, make an image, host it on any free image-hosting service, and add it in your scraps.

  47. 47. abhiNo Gravatar Says:

    hey naveen although i installed the user script its not working for me….

  48. 48. rahilNo Gravatar Says:

    heya same here its not working for my firefox too :(

  49. 49. NaveenNo Gravatar Says:

    Thanks for notifying me. Modified the script. Delete the old script from GreaseMonkey and download new.

  50. 50. NaveenNo Gravatar Says:

    Thanks abhi for taking this to my attention. Orkut changed the scrap book path, which was making it not to work. Modified the script right now. Download the latest.

    Deleting the scripts from GreaseMonkey:: Right click on the GreaseMonkey icon in the status bar. Choose “Manage User Scripts.” Select the script in “Included pages” box and click on the “Remove” button on the right side.

  51. 51. abhiNo Gravatar Says:

  59. 59. NaveenNo Gravatar Says:

    Sometimes installing an add-on fails. Just save the plugin to desktop and then open it with Firefox. That will solve your problem.
