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";

}

Great Hack! I no longer have my big smilies up front... This helps me out a lot!!! No problems installing... Keep it up!

[Xelation]

Crap, found an error.... well what happens is... when I click for more smilies... the pop up comes up... but when I go to click on a smilie, the smilie browser turns to a "page cannont be found" link.... can anyone help me? thx

Nothing to do with my hack... do you happen to use the php3 version?

[Xelation]

I dont us the php3 version.

Would it be possible to make it so smilies with a display order of 0 aren't in the list?

Also, it'd be nice to be able to specify random smilies, with some smilies being more frequent than others, and some not showing up at all

Nice Hack, but is it possible to include a rating system ? (Every User with >100 Posts can rate 10 Smilies from the List and only the best 10 or XX Smilies will show!?)

Any way to get this to affect the "get more" box?
