Message icons module

That's why I originally said "hacked fairly easily". :-)

lol, I noticed the H-word. I mainly elaborated for other people interested in module writing ;)

sheik's suggestion of using a smiley will work for me right now. I am mainly concerned with the messages that I am importing using the webbbs to phorum5 script. I just needed a way to mark the files that have a picture embedded in them. Chances of these files be edited are almost 0.

I tried the :camera: idea and it worked perfectly. This will tie me over until some code is created to indicate images versus attachments.

Thanks all

Durtdawber, out of interest, can you post the code you use to detect the "img" tag?

Thanks,

Here is the code from the webbbs conversion script. This is from the webbs_in.php file. I added code to detect when a post has an image upload file. If so then I appended a smiley tag to the end of the subject. Does not address all issues but it suited my purpose.

Can I make a suggestion?

I'd really like one that puts a box of (x) # of smileys that the users can select in a check or radio button to put at the front of their subject headline.

Your suggestion is outside the scope of what this mod is trying to accomplish. It's not one to give users control over settings an icon for their postings.

How about using the smileys module for adding smileys to the subject line? You could write a mod that displays the radio buttons and smileys in the posting form and adds the selected smiley to the start of the subject, before writing the message to the database. It could use the settings from the smileys mod to determine what smileys are available for use in the subject.

Thanks mmakaay, was just throwing stuff out there. I got a hack of editor_tools and smileys to do what I wanted to. Removed the carats from my forum, but I did have this module installed and it works well even with headline smileys :)

is there any way to remove link on icons ?

See that : [pocketpcdev.free.fr]

Maybe you can't access it...

I can't access that forum. Is there a problem with having the icons clickable? This mod adds the icon to the start of the subject and the full subject is clickable. So there's no way to keep the icon outside the link.
