TITLE
Custom Emoticons not displaying correctly in IM
SYMPTOMS
When an end user who has created Custom Emoticon on their PC sends IM to any other user and enters that emoticon, the receiver only gets the DefaultKey and not the IMAGE itself of the Custom Emoticon created.
-User A defines a custom emoticon in emoticonDefs.xml. The custom emoticon definition exists only on User A's local file system.
-User A sends that custom emoticon to User B.
-User B receives only the default key for the custom emoticon. User B does not receive the icon.
ENVIRONMENT
Cisco Jabber for Windows
CAUSES
Individual user modified the "emoticonDefs.xml" and placed it in Custom Emoticon
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Cisco\Unified Communications\Jabber\CSF\CustomEmoticons
The emoficonsDef.xml file only applies to the local machine, not to remote parties.
RESOLUTION
Place that same emoticonDefs.xml in the receivers %userprofile% folder
PREVENTION
Make sure that the emotionDefs.xml is the same across the deployment
