Change Thread Icon Inline

This mod is sponsored by msu2k.

This product enables forum moderators to change thread icon to the next icon by a double click in the area of the thread icon.

This a rotation, one icon per double click. icons are ordered by their display order.

There will be an empty icon in the rotation to allow you to remove the thread icon.

This works in the Forum Display (thread listing) only.

Installation:
1) Upload the file change_threadicon.js to the directory 'clientscript'.
2) Import the attached XML product.
3) Click install to receive support & updates.

If you like it, then nominate it.

Best Regards

Works great for me on vb3.7x default theme. I am glad I don't have too many icons because if you miss the one you want you have to cycle through all of them to get back to the one you want.

This could be improved upon but it is a quick way to change icons inline ajax style!

VERY NICE! THANKS!

Same problem here. Not sure why it's not adding the 'ondblclick' code to the <td> when using a non-default style. I thought it might be because I had different "alt1" & "alt2" CSS classes for sticky threads, so changed it so that the sticky classes were added as well as the default alt1 & alt2.

That didn't work, so I tried to add the 'ondblclick' code by hand in the threadbits template like so:

PHP Code:

    <if condition="$show['threadicons']">
        <td class="alt2<if condition="$show['sticky']"> alt2_sticky</if> ondblclick="change_threadicon_exec($thread[realthreadid]);">
<if condition="$show['threadicon']">
<img src="$thread[threadiconpath]" alt="$thread[threadicontitle]" border="0" /><else />&nbsp;
</if>
</td>
    </if> 


But that hasn't worked either. Any thoughts on what I could do to get this working? I'll have another look at the code and see if I'm missing something.

Thanks in advance if anyone can advise.


Edited to add:

I kind of have it working, I had to add the threadicon id to to the image as well, as follows:

PHP Code:

    <if condition="$show['threadicons']">
        <td class="alt2<if condition="$show['sticky']"> alt2_sticky</if>" ondblclick="change_threadicon_exec($thread[realthreadid]);"><if condition="$show['threadicon']"><img src="$thread[threadiconpath]" id="threadicon_$thread[realthreadid]" alt="$thread[threadicontitle]" border="0" /><else />&nbsp;</if></td>
    </if> 


But now when I double click the icon, I get the spinning icon to show that it's changing but it doesn't move on to the next icon. If I refresh the page the next icon is there, so it is changing it but not showing me it without refreshing.
