how much good is this if it doesnt show the actual icons in the list?

[Gary King]

If someone has the Javascript where I can display the image depending on the value selected, then I would be more than happy to add it in

[Owen]

I dont think its possible with regular drop down menu's... Maybe its possible to use one of those vb3 dropdown menu's?

[Gary King]

Nevermind I got it I will add it in a sec

[Gary King]

Okay updated It now shows the icons - BUT, it will only work when icons are in the images/icons/ folder and in the correct file format, for now. So it will work with default vB3 icons. If you add any new icons, just make sure they are the same format and same folder.

Why not use this in includes/functions_newpost.php:

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

This in the posticons template:

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

This in the posticon_dropdown template:

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

That would use the correct SRC path for all icons and would also have the icon pre-selected if the post already had one (i.e. when editing).

This one is good for coding similiar hacks, great one!

[Owen]

Good Work.

Any idea what could be wrong?

You didn't follow instructions properly then

The code you did wrong was in the posticons template.

[Fibe]

hmm i just double checked and everything is like it should be. afaik

<if condition="$show['posticons']">
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
function swap_posticon(imgid)
{
out = fetch_object("display_posticon");
img = fetch_object(imgid);
if (img)
{
out.src = img.src;
out.alt = img.alt;
}
else
{
out.src = "$vboptions[cleargifurl]";
out.alt = "";
}
}
<if condition="$show['dropdownicons']">
function changeImage(selVal)
{
if (selVal != 0)
{
document.getElementById('posticonimage').src = selVal;
}
else
{
document.getElementById('posticonimage').src = 'clear.gif';
}
}
</if>
// -->
</script>
<fieldset class="fieldset" style="margin:10px 0px 0px 0px">
<legend>$vbphrase[post_icons]</legend>
<div style="padding:$stylevar[formspacer]px">
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="95%">
<tr>
<td colspan="15"><div style="margin-bottom:$stylevar[formspacer]px">$vbphrase[may_choose_icon_for_message]:</div></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<if condition="$show['dropdownicons']"><td><select name="iconid" id="iconid" onchange="changeImage(this.value)">$posticondropdown</select> <img id="posticonimage" /></td><else /><td width="12%" nowrap="nowrap"><label for="rb_iconid_0"><input type="radio" name="iconid" value="0" id="rb_iconid_0" tabindex="1" onclick="swap_posticon(null)" $iconchecked />$vbphrase[no_icon] &nbsp; &nbsp;</label></td>$posticonbits</if>


$posticonbits
<if condition="$show['addedspan']"><td colspan="$remainingspan">&nbsp;</td></if>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
</fieldset>
<else />
<input type="hidden" name="iconid" value="0" />
</if>
