Smilie Category Hack

Welcome to my first Release of

Smilie Category Hack or How-to-organize VB smilies in a nutshell

This small Hack helps you to organize your smilies in a better and easier way:

How does this work ?

You have to have to create multiple Smilie Categories with your ACP Smilie Manager. This hack will offer you a form select screen in your smilie popup window. So you can now easily choose from different categories.
The integration should take about 5 minutes and is very easy. But please remember that you need to have at least 2 categories created with your smiliemanager in your ACP.

Required actions:

- 1 template change
- 1 php file change

Please click on this install button or on the install button on the upper right corner if you wish to get support for this hack.

Update 1.01
Bug in the WYSIWYG editor fixed.

Enjoy it.

Cheers,

[paul41598]

Sure. Just implement for admins something like:

PHP Code:


if ( $bbuserinfo[usergrouid] == "6" )
{
       echo "<option bla bla>My Category</option>">
} 


But be aware that other people will be able to use the same smilies as soon as they copy the code from the originals postings. So for me this does not make sense at all. But the solution is above.

Look for this code in the install.html file:

PHP Code:

foreach ($new_categories AS $input)
    {
        $add_select .= "<option value=\"".$input."\">$input";
    } 


It should look like this:

PHP Code:

foreach ($new_categories AS $input)
    {
                           if ( $input == "yourcategoryname" ) 
                          {
                                if ( $bbuserinfo[usergrouid] == "6" )
                                { 
                                $add_select .= "<option value=\"".$input."\">$input";
                                }
                                else
                                {
                                 // do nothing
                                }
                           }
                           else
                           {
        $add_select .= "<option value=\"".$input."\">$input";
                           }
    } 


And if you want to add more categories then replace this line:

PHP Code:

                           if ( $input == "yourcategoryname" ) 


with this:

PHP Code:

                           if ( $input == "yourcategoryname" || $input == "secondcategory" )

worked perfect, thanks alot man!

small problem/bug:

if you goto the FAQ section of the forums, you can see all the smilies. How can I block access there to the staff smilies?

[paul41598]

I got this far, and it doesnt show the staff smilies now, but it be cool, if they would at least show for admins/mods, instead of not at all.

PHP Code:

    while ($smilie = $DB_site->fetch_array($smilies))
    {

                      if ( $smilie['category'] == "TCW Staff Smilies" )
                          {
                                if ( $bbuserinfo[usergroupid] != "6" || $bbuserinfo[usergroupid] != "7")
                                {
                                //eval('$smiliebits .= "' . fetch_template('help_smilies_category') . '";');
                                }
                else {
            
            }
                           }

        else {

        if ($smilie['category'] != $lastcat)
        {
            eval('$smiliebits .= "' . fetch_template('help_smilies_category') . '";');
        }
        exec_switch_bg();
        eval('$smiliebits .= "' . fetch_template('help_smilies_smilie') . '";');
        $lastcat = $smilie['category'];
    }

            } 


N/M Figured It Out !!!

this is cool, I always wanted to separate the 'naughty' smilies

[Starkiller]

First hack I ever installed.

I modified misc.php and FTPed it back up to my server and went in to ACP and modified the template. And I have two smilie categories defined.

But nothing seems to have changed.

http://eldiaonline.net/boards/misc.php?do=showsmilies

Still show all the smilies at once.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Please check if you have this in your template:

$new_smilies
