View Post Icons As Drop-Down · **Released**: 12-26-2002

Requested At : https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...&postid=335209

This hack allows the administrator to change the display of message icons in the post new thread and reply screens so that you select one from a drop-down box as opposed to using radio buttons. A preview image to the right displays the currently selected icon.

This can be toggled via the admin control panel and I will post screenshots in a minute.

This is designed for vBulletin Version 2.2.9, although that's not a choice on the version field, the script will not run on an older version, although you can override the saftey feature if you really want to install it on a different version.

Be sure to run the install script in your admin directory.

Edit :
Revision 2 is now avilable. This adds the new display for the edit screen and the private message screen.

Screenshots :

You can toggle between the two modes of display in the control panel.

Screenshot of the post icon area when you have it set to be a drop-down. The preview image is updated with Javascript.

Looking great, I will add this to my quick reply, with a slight modification to it

Great Job

Awesome hack!

Screenshots look great!

I'm loading it to my test board immediately... I'll be back with a report!

uh oh... Problem... My board is a 2.2.8 board...

I hope it works... *ulp*

Chris M · #6 12-27-2002, 09:43 PM

Erm...?

This is for a 2.2.8 board...

Looks good

Won't use it, but great idea!

Satan

Ok... I set up a completely new test board to see if it might be backward compatible to 2.2.8...

*crossing fingers*

If you are setting up a new board, you should use 2.2.9 as 2.2.8 has a security hole in it.

It will most likely work with 2.2.8 but you'll have to override the scripts to do so.

It's for a 2.2.9 board, I just can't select that as an option.

Taco John · #9 12-27-2002, 10:37 PM

WOOOO HOOO!!!

So far so good... It works in principle on 2.2.8!

One thing... I *think* you made a slight error in your directions in two places...

You said that we should find and replace this code:

Code:

 if ($foruminfo[allowicons]) {
    $posticonsdropdown=chooseicons($iconid);
  }  else {
    $posticons="";
  }

When in reality, I believe it is this code that needs to be found:

Code:

if ($foruminfo[allowicons]) {
    $posticons=chooseicons($iconid);
  }  else {
    $posticons="";
  }

Good work man! Icons are uploading just perfectly in it!

One quick question... Is there a way to make it so that the drop down icons are sorted in alphabetical order?
