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

I was always thinking that it could be made cleaner with a table (:gasp:)

I've been quite busy lately, and my birthday is on the 8th, so I won't be able to take a look at it for a while wink

Thanks. 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 smile

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. smile

Yes, Please. My IE smiley box is way over to the right and needs scrolling.

Doesn't seem to work for 7.2.2.
Has anyone got an update?

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' laugh (no disrespect intended)

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... smirk

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 cool

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 laugh

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 smile

Oh, I didn't mean to imply that you were disrespectful, I really was wondering if this is for developers only wink

Well, it worked cool, 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.. smirk

7.3 addresses this by adding another field to that table.. ie: 'GRAEMLIN_SORT_ORDER' wink

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 ?
