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";

}

Alright, it's done, and it's great!

You know in the other thread I was about to say that the one line replacement you had originally (which added the ORDER BY bit) didn't work. I guess there was a lot more to it, though! Hope it wasn't too much trouble...but I love it! Thank you!

[Admin]

Yeah I know JJR, I forgot to replace another line.

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