Change the display order of smilies

Description:
This hack will allow you to set the display order of clickable smilies (if you use them).
It's good if you have a lot of smilies, and want the more commonly used to be shown in the box.

Demo:


Installation:
1. Run the following queries either in phpMyAdmin or thru Telnet: (one query at a time)

ALTER TABLE smilie ADD showid SMALLINT not null
ALTER TABLE smilie ADD INDEX (showid)
UPDATE smilie SET showid=smilieid

2. In functions.php (in your admin folder) replace

PHP Code:

$smilies = $DB_site->query("SELECT title, smilietext, smiliepath FROM smilie"); 


with

PHP Code:

$smilies = $DB_site->query("SELECT title, smilietext, smiliepath FROM smilie ORDER BY showid"); 


And also replace

PHP Code:

$smilies=$DB_site->query("SELECT smilietext,smiliepath FROM smilie"); 


with

PHP Code:

$smilies=$DB_site->query("SELECT smilietext,smiliepath FROM smilie ORDER BY showid"); 


3. In smilie.php (in your admin folder) replace

PHP Code:

$smilies=$DB_site->query("SELECT smilietext,smilieid,title,smiliepath FROM smilie ORDER BY title LIMIT ".($limitlower-1).",$perpage"); 


with

PHP Code:

$smilies=$DB_site->query("SELECT smilietext,smilieid,title,smiliepath,showid FROM smilie ORDER BY showid LIMIT ".($limitlower-1).",$perpage"); 


Below

PHP Code:

echo makelinkcode("remove","smilie.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=remove&smilieid=$smilie[smilieid]&perpage=$perpage&statrpage=$startpage"); 


add

PHP Code:

echo "<br>Order: <input type=text name=\"order[$smilie[smilieid]]\" size=5 value=\"$smilie[showid]\">"; 


Replace

PHP Code:

echo "</table></td></tr></table></form>"; 


with

PHP Code:

doformfooter("Update order"); 


Replace

PHP Code:

doformheader("smilie","modify"); 


with

PHP Code:

doformheader("smilie","doorder"); 


Above

PHP Code:

// ###################### Start Modify ####################### 


add

PHP Code:

// ###################### Start do order #####################
if ($HTTP_POST_VARS['action']=="doorder") {

  while (list($key,$val)=each($order)) {

    $DB_site->query("UPDATE smilie SET showid='$val' WHERE smilieid='$key'");

  }

  echo "<p>Order updated!</p>";
  $action="modify";

}

Did you remember to add the tags to the end of the QRB template, the two tags listed in the addon? I think they are <*java> tags, but there's two of them.

Yepper.
I did a stupid thing and found the problem
My smiley of all things wasnt named.
Sorry for all the confusion.
Boy was I confused as I couldn`t see why in the world this hack would mess that up.
Thanks again for the help.
Glad found my stupidity! :ermm:

/me moves his whole site to a new server, installs VB 2.2.7, and re-installs this most excellent hack!

Thanks again! I was really gratefull that all I had to do was the template/php mods again as the databse retained the queries during the move and I didn't have to re-order all our flipping smilies again! lol
