Maze Enthusiast Registered: 10/13/99 Posts: 468	Nicer look for smiley dropdown box v1.0 Take a look at the smiley dropdown box on the "New Post" page. If you added some of your own smileys with different widths, it will look messy, because always six smileys are put in one row. This hack simply inserts a linebreak after a given width has been exceeded. This is an easy hack with just a few modifications in one place. Working Under Has been tested with v7.1 Files Modified /libs/ubbthreads.inc.php Instructions Follow the steps in the attached text file. Attachments 2382-7HackSmileyDropdownv1.txt (84 downloads)

I have altered mine, so that it starts much closer to the left hand side of the page, and I have increased the number of smilies to 16 per line. For some of the wider images, I had to database dive to split them up, so maybe your idea in conjunction with my changes would work well _________________________ Fans Focus - Focusing on Fans of Sport (Okay - mainly football (the British variety at the moment - but expanding all the time....)

Rose Power User Registered: 09/29/06 Posts: 76	I'm wondering if anyone knows how I can make the graemlins menu move over to the left? I need this badly. Can anyone give me a hint on where I could start looking? Any help would be most appreciated. Thanks.

sirdude Enthusiast Registered: 11/08/03 Posts: 490 Loc: SoCal	bleh, i did it for 7.2.2 and never really thought much of it. seemed simple to do.. you want to: 1. move the smiley icon (toolbar) over to the left.. same thing 2. then you change the width deal to iterate over the smileys.. should be VERY similar, if you just look @ the subtle differences. if it's not obvious, i can maybe look a little closer at some point and try to gin it up for the 'coding impaired' (no disrespect intended) _________________________

luckie Newbie Registered: 10/24/07 Posts: 11	It's indeed not thát obvious for people who never experimented with the code. No idea even what the difference between 7.1 and 7.2 is, how should I know where to adjust then... It's not out of laziness I ask an update, it's due to not knowing.. If this forum is for developpers only, let me know, then I shouldn't be here

sirdude Enthusiast Registered: 11/08/03 Posts: 490 Loc: SoCal	no no. sorry luckie. i meant no disrespect (as i stated above). you are MORE than welcome to ask for modifications.. i can look @ 7.2.2 and see what the subtle differences might be. then if there is time, i can post it.. that is if Yarp™ doesn't beat me to it.. he's a sly coder _________________________

ok, i looked @ the mod posted.. and that doesn't change at all. just do exactly as it states there.

then to move the smiley icon to the left you would do:

open up /templates/default/standard_text_editor.tpl

find:

Php Code:

<a href="javascript: void(0);" onclick="showHTML('smileys');" title="{$lang.SMILIES}" alt="{$lang.SMILIES}"><img id="smiley" onmouseover="raiseButton(this.id);" onmouseout="normalButton(this.id);" onmousedown="lowerButton(this.id);" class="markup_panel_normal_button" src="{$config.BASE_URL}/images/{$style_array.markup_panel}/smiley.gif" /></a>

cut that out (line ~53ish) and move it before:

Php Code:

<a href="javascript: void(0)" onclick="DoPrompt('url');" title="{$lang.HYPER_ALT}" alt="{$lang.HYPER_ALT}"><img id="link" onmouseover="raiseButton(this.id);" onmouseout="normalButton(this.id);" onmousedown="lowerButton(this.id);" class="markup_panel_normal_button" src="{$config.BASE_URL}/images/{$style_array.markup_panel}/hyperlink.gif" /></a>

that line (29 ish)

*poof* done

luckie Newbie Registered: 10/24/07 Posts: 11	Oh, I didn't mean to imply that you were disrespectful, I really was wondering if this is for developers only Well, it worked , thanks. Is there any way to adjust the order of the smileys? Or can this only be done by removing them all and adding them in the right order..

sirdude Enthusiast Registered: 11/08/03 Posts: 490 Loc: SoCal	7.3 addresses this by adding another field to that table.. ie: 'GRAEMLIN_SORT_ORDER' as for 7.2.2 the easiest way would be to quickly add that field in your table and then manually use phpMyAdmin and put the numbers in the order you want.. this replaces having to write an admin cpanel interface for it.. then just change the query in ubbthreads to add 'ORDER BY GRAEMLIN_SORT_ORDER' and poof done.. might be easier for you to wait for 7.3 ? _________________________
