TO-DO List For Drop Down Message Icons:

  • Make option to switch between Drop Down Box and Select by button.



So far that is all I have to do on this hack. DO you have any other suggestions? Please post them here.

Nice, but I do not see any xhtml. confused This hack will have to be fully xhtml compliant when 6.1 final comes out in order for people to have a validated board.

here you go, test it out before you release it, here I would suggest learning xhtml before upgrading/making any mods for 6.1.

As cal sais, Just a thought. smile

    Thanks LK, I know I probably missed a couple of things, I did that really fast and did not double check my work. Thanks for the script pointer there too.

    ----------
    IMPORTANT:
    ----------

    You must not skip numbers like this:

    icon23.gif
    icon25.gif

    and have no icon24.gif. If you do skip any number after icon23.gif can't be renamed...

    I'll be upgrading to 6.1 by the end of September as I want to give the UBB team enough time to work out any possible issues with the new release.

    Secondly, does anyone have any really cool drop-down message icons?

    Ok i have fixed this problem, you might wanna update your hack. I switched document.REPLIER to document.replier, I guess it was one of those things coded from beta 1.1 to beta 1.4. You might wanna update the zip file though.

    Actually, it's because of Allen's XHTML hack wink

    BTW, the stuff inside the quotes can be uppercased and it will still be validated.

    I think what LK is saying is that because of the XHTML work going on, alot of things were changed to lowercase that didn't need to. The javascript part of your hack has the following code:

    document.REPLIER.msg_icon.


    and that now has to be changed to lowercase to work like so:

    document.replier.msg_icon.

    I mean in the cp; an option to sort them however the user wants, or say alphabetically.

    Ohh.. I tried that and it wasn't worth the effort. It took alot more effort then you think .. Because it needs to open up and extra file and the directory and it would be pretty coded. Unless I coded it wrong.

    Thanks! Allen also pointed me in the right direction.

    I installed this hack, and I'm only seeing one problem.

    Let's say that in my pulldown menu, I have the following:

    yellow smiley
    shocked
    big green grin

    The default is the "yellow smiley" -- it shows to the right of the pulldown menu.

    When I click down on the big green grin, that icon will not appear to the left of the pulldown menu (i.e. the "yellow smiley" stays there), but when I post my topic, it's there.

    I hope that makes sense. laugh

    Hello,

    Sorry, just added this icon hack and I'm able to select different icons from a pull down menu. However, I can't see the icons in the pull down menu itself. I can only see them after selecting one from the pull down menu.
    You can view this at Canreef
    I actually have a similar problem with the Member List. Part of the text in the pull down menus are missing.


    Also, part of my control panel's pull down menu is no longer there. I got the following two Error messages:

    A Runtime Error has occurred.
    Do you wish to Debug?
    Line:154
    Error: Expected ')'

    A Runtime Error has occurred.
    Do you wish to Debug?
    Line:224
    Error: Expected ')'

    Can you please tell me what's wrong here?
