Require a post icon on new thread creation (or on every post)

Create a new phrase in the category "Front-End Error Messages" titled "noicon", with the text "You must choose a post icon before posting a new thread."

Open includes/functions_newpost.php

Find:

Code:

        // check for subject/message

        if (($post['message'] == '' AND $vboptions['postminchars'] > 0) OR ($type == 'thread' AND empty($post['title'])))

        {

                eval('$errors[] = "' . fetch_phrase('nosubject', PHRASETYPEID_ERROR) . '";');

        }

Add Below:

Code:

        // check for post icon

        if ($type == 'thread' AND $post['iconid'] == 0)

        {

                eval('$errors[] = "' . fetch_phrase('noicon', PHRASETYPEID_ERROR) . '";');

        }

That's it. If you want to make it required on all posts instead of just new thread creation, change the phrase accordingly and add the following code instead:

Code:

        // check for post icon

        if ($post['iconid'] == 0)

        {

                eval('$errors[] = "' . fetch_phrase('noicon', PHRASETYPEID_ERROR) . '";');

        }

Great hack. It does however break the "report post" hack where the report is posted as a new thread in a forum of your choice. I fixed it by changing it to this:

Code:

// check for post icon

        if (THIS_SCRIPT != 'report') { 

                if ($type == 'thread' AND $post['iconid'] == 0)

                {

                        eval('$errors[] = "' . fetch_phrase('noicon', PHRASETYPEID_ERROR) . '";');

                }

        }

awesome!

this is cool, because I get so tired of seeing just the default icon used, esp when I have a ton just sitting there ;)

Is there anyway to set this up so that it won't require an icon for forums with icons turned off?

Figured it out, this should work :)

PHP Code:


		
			
        // check for post icon

        if ($foruminfo['allowicons']) { 

                if ($type == 'thread' AND $post['iconid'] == 0)

                {

                        eval('$errors[] = "' . fetch_phrase('noicon', PHRASETYPEID_ERROR) . '";');

                }

        }

Anyone updating this for vb 3.5?

How would I get rid of the no icon option? Have this installed, but it's confusing as the message when not having a icon checked is

Could not find phrase 'noicon'.

would that require a phraze change?
