Fix animated smilies after clicking

[Kier]

Not much of a hack, this one... and it only works in IE4+ and the very latest of the other browsers.

Basically, it stops the animated smilies in the clickable list from halting their animation cycle after you click one.

Very simple really... change the vbcode_smiliebit template from this:<a href="javascript:smilie('$smilie[smilietext]')"><img src="$smilie[smiliepath]" alt="$smilie[title]" border="0"></a>to this<img src="$smilie[smiliepath]" alt="$smilie[title]" border="0"
onmouseover="this.style.cursor='hand';"
onclick="smilie('$smilie[smilietext]');">

[Sephi]

[Mystics]

Big Thx @Kier!

One small addon:
You also should fix the "Smilies List Popup" (misc.php?action=getsmilies&s=)

To do that, change the vbcode_popup_smiliesbits template from this:<td bgcolor="$backcolor"><a href="javascript:opener.smilie('$smilie[text]')"><img src="$smilie[path]" border="0" alt="$smilie[title]"></a></td>
<td bgcolor="$backcolor"><normalfont>$smilie[text]</normalfont></td>to this<td bgcolor="$backcolor"><img src="$smilie[path]" border="0" alt="$smilie[title]"
onmouseover="this.style.cursor='hand';"
onclick="opener.smilie('$smilie[text]');"></td>
<td bgcolor="$backcolor"><normalfont>$smilie[text]</normalfont></td>

I've applied both of these template mods and they are great. However, one little thing...and I mean really little...When you click the link that says "Get More," the smilies there still do stop animating. Could someone tell us how to fix that, too? :)

Could someone tell us how to fix that, too? :) One solution would be to remove the javascript from the "Get More"-Link and to open just a normal Page, but then you can't let open the Smilie Window with a special size (for example 240x280 as default), because it just opens a new, normal Browser Instance.

However, to do this you have to change the Template vbcode_smilies_getmore

Search:<a href="javascript:opensmiliewindow(240,280,'$session[sessionhash]')">and replace that with:<a href="misc.php?action=getsmilies&s=$session[sessionhash]" target="_blank">[EDIT]
Ok, the solution of Kier is of course much better, so please ignore (or delete @Mods) this Posting.

Edit the vbcode_smilies_getmore template to this:<a href="javascript:opensmiliewindow(240,280,'$session[sessionhash]')">Get More</a>to this<span onmouseover="this.style.cursor='hand';" onclick="opensmiliewindow(240,280,'$session[sessionhash]');">
Get More
</span>edited to prevent smilie parsing

Great hack!! Installing now!

[DarkReaper]

Cool...how can I make it so the Get more link is the same color as all other links though?

[JJR512]

In the template vbcode_smilies_getmore where it says "Get More", change it to <font color="xx">Get More</font>, where xx is the color, either by name (white) or by hex code (#FFFFFF), or by using the variable for the link color set through the Styles part of the admin cp (that's { linkcolor } without the spaces inside the curly brackets).

FYI to anybody that runs 2.0.3 this still doesn't work. :)

Worked like a charme. Thanks been looking for htis one.

[ZiRu$]

the get more fix does not work

[Beams]

kewl just fixed all my problems

Only thing i have noticed is the get more smile box does not stay on top after you click the smile. I know its only a matter of clicking on it to bring it to the top but is there anyway to keep it on top like before??

Hot Dogg get more fix works on my 2.2.4 forum

Beams :D

[Tech_Koss]

so when you click on the smilie, the animation should stop as well?
is there a way to make it so that there is no animation at all?

Kier presents an interesting workaround, but another solution is to change what is considered deprecated javascript...

<a href="javascript:smilie('$smilie[smilietext]')">
<img src="$smilie[smiliepath]" alt="$smilie[title]" border="0"></a>

to:
<a href="#" onclick="smilie('$smilie[smilietext]');return false">
<img src="$smilie[smiliepath]" alt="$smilie[title]" border="0"></a>

I am not sure if this limits you to HTML4 browsers or not but I know it works great on my board.

I read about it here:
