Change the display order of message icons

Description:
This hack will allow you to set the display order of message icons.
Similar to my other hack, ordering of smilies.

Demo:


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

ALTER TABLE icon ADD showid SMALLINT not null
ALTER TABLE icon ADD INDEX (showid)
UPDATE icon SET showid=iconid

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

PHP Code:

$icons=$DB_site->query("SELECT iconid,iconpath,title FROM icon ORDER BY iconid"); 


with

PHP Code:

$icons=$DB_site->query("SELECT iconid,iconpath,title FROM icon ORDER BY showid"); 


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

PHP Code:

$icons=$DB_site->query("SELECT iconid,title,iconpath FROM icon ORDER BY title LIMIT ".($limitlower-1).",$perpage"); 


with

PHP Code:

$icons=$DB_site->query("SELECT iconid,title,iconpath FROM icon ORDER BY showid LIMIT ".($limitlower-1).",$perpage"); 


Below

PHP Code:

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


add

PHP Code:

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


Replace

PHP Code:

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


with

PHP Code:

doformfooter("Update order"); 


Replace

PHP Code:

doformheader("icon","modify"); 


with

PHP Code:

doformheader("icon","doorder"); 


Above

PHP Code:

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


add

PHP Code:

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

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

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

  }

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

}

I think you were too fast with cut'n paste.

in step three you say to change smilie.php and the variables and tables are also smilie.
