[Note: It's modification for vB3.6 beta. It should work in 3.5.x but I'm not sure.]

Here you go mate:

Replace posticons template with that:

<if condition="$show['posticons']">
    <script type="text/javascript">
    <!--
    function swap_posticon()
    {
                var sel = fetch_object("icon_select");             
        var out = fetch_object("display_posticon");
        var opt = sel.options[sel.selectedIndex];
        if (opt)
        {
            out.src = opt.id;
            out.alt = opt.value;
        }
        else
        {
            out.src = "$vboptions[cleargifurl]";
            out.alt = "";
        }
    }
    // -->
    </script>
    <fieldset class="fieldset" style="margin:10px 0px 0px 0px">
        <legend>$vbphrase[post_icons]</legend>
        <div style="padding:$stylevar[formspacer]px">
            <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="95%">
            <tr>
                <td colspan="15"><div style="margin-bottom:$stylevar[formspacer]px">$vbphrase[may_choose_icon_for_message]:</div></td>
            </tr>
            <tr>
                <td width="12%" nowrap="nowrap"><select name="iconid" id="icon_select" onchange="swap_posticon()" tabindex="1"><option value="0" $iconchecked>$vbphrase[no_icon]</option>$posticonbits</select>&nbsp; &nbsp;</td>
            </tr>
            </table>
        </div>
    </fieldset>
<else />
    <input type="hidden" name="iconid" value="0" />
</if>

Replace posticonbit template with that:

<option value="$iconid" id="$iconpath" $iconchecked>$alttext</option>

Find in ./includes/functions_newpost (on line 76 if your file is unmodified) an remove it:

PHP Code:

    if ($numicons % 7 == 0 AND $numicons != 0)
    {
      $posticonbits .= "</tr><tr><td>&nbsp;</td>";
    }

    $numicons++; 


in the same file look for (on line 88):

PHP Code:

$iconchecked = 'checked="checked"'; 


and replace it with:

PHP Code:

$iconchecked = 'selected="selected"'; 


In the same file look for (on line 102):

PHP Code:

  $remainder = $numicons % 7;

  if ($remainder)
  {
    $remainingspan = 2 * (7 - $remainder);
    $show['addedspan'] = true;
  }
  else
  {
    $remainingspan = 0;
    $show['addedspan'] = false;
  }

  if ($seliconid == 0)
  {
    $iconchecked = 'checked="checked"';
  }
  else
  {
    $iconchecked = '';
  } 


and replace it with:

PHP Code:

  $iconchecked = ($seliconid == 0) ? 'selected="selected"' : ''; 


Save and enjoy :-)

Thank you very much i will try it out and see if it works and reply..

Edit: Works Perfectly, I would like to thank you...

Code mod: What part would i copy and past to have it display the icons where it is and next to the drop down

[gulldarek]

No problem :-). If you wan't to move preview next to the dropdown then say, I can give you some instructions.

[Dark s.s. Trunk]

yep exactly... so let me know what to do.

[gulldarek]

In: editpost, newreply, newthread, pm_newpm, threadadmin_editthread templates find:

<td class="smallfont" colspan="3">$vbphrase[title]:</td>

and replace it with:

<td class="smallfont">$vbphrase[title]:</td>

.

In all of these templates find:

            <td>&nbsp;&nbsp;</td>
            <td><img id="display_posticon" src="$selectedicon[src]" alt="$selectedicon[alt]" /></td>

and remove it.

Now, open posticons template and after:

<select name="iconid" id="icon_select" onchange="swap_posticon()" tabindex="1"><option value="0" $iconchecked>$vbphrase[no_icon]</option>$posticonbits</select>&nbsp;

paste that:

<img id="display_posticon" src="$selectedicon[src]" alt="$selectedicon[alt]" />

Save and enjoy

gulldarek...you should release this as a mod in the 3.6 beta forum...and possibly add this for smilies as well

[gulldarek]

Hmm, ok, I will, but I'll look how to put that into plugins instead of removing code.
