How do you add smiles to your forums?

[ashton]

Alright I have forums, that Were independently desined meaning there not like phpbb etc. there just forums programmed in PHP. I would like to add smiles to the forums does anyone know the best way to do that?

[wildteen88]

This [url=http://ryanslife.net/2006/07/12/php-simple-emoticon-support/]site teaces[/url] you how to create a smilie parser.

[ashton]

Alright I tried to use that site I made  Funttion and everything, But now its getting errors and is changing crazy on me, I put this in.

[code]<?php
  // defines the emoticons
  $emoticonarray = array(
    ':)'  => 'smile.gif',
    ':King:'  => 'king.gif',
    ':*'  => 'kiss.gif'
    ':lol:'  => 'lol.gif',
    ':loser:'  => 'loser.gif',
    ':money:'  => 'moneybag.gif'
    ':muscle:'  => 'muscle.gif',
    ':no:'  => 'no.gif',
    ':nono:'  => 'nono.gif'
    ':offwall:'  => 'offwall.gif',
    ':ohboy:'  => 'ohboy.gif',
    ':pc:'  => 'pc.gif'
    ':please:'  => 'please.gif',
    ':rofl:'  => 'rofl.gif',
    ':roll:'  => 'rolleyes.gif'

  // generates the search and replace arrays
  foreach($emoticonarray as $emoticon => $img) {
    $search[] = $emoticon;
    $replace[] = '<img src="/emoticons/' . $img . '" alt="' . $emoticon . '" />';
  }
  // searches the text passed to the function
  $text = str_ireplace($search, $replace, $text);
  // return the value
  return $text;[/code]

Then once I save it and view it again it turns into this

[code]<?php
  // defines the emoticons
  $emoticonarray = array(
    ':)'  => 'smile.gif',
    ':King:'  => 'king.gif',
    ':*'  => 'kiss.gif'
    ':lol:'  => 'lol.gif',
    ':loser:'  => 'loser.gif',
    ':money:'  => 'moneybag.gif'
    ':muscle:'  => 'muscle.gif',
    ':no:'  => 'no.gif',
    ':nono:'  => 'nono.gif'
    ':offwall:'  => 'offwall.gif',
    ':ohboy:'  => 'ohboy.gif',
    ':pc:'  => 'pc.gif'
    ':please:'  => 'please.gif',
    ':rofl:'  => 'rofl.gif',
    ':roll:'  => 'rolleyes.gif'

  // generates the search and replace arrays
  foreach($emoticonarray as $emoticon => $img) {
    $search[] = $emoticon;
    $replace[] = '<img src="/emoticons/' . $img . '" alt="' . $emoticon . '" />';
  }
  // searches the text passed to the function
  $text = str_ireplace($search, $replace, $text);
  // return the value
  return $text;[/code]

And its giving me this error:
Parse error: parse error, unexpected ':', expecting ')' in /home/spyderw/public_html/mf/functions.php on line 4

Thats just problem 1, The guide says to
" You pull the data from your database and assign it to the variable $comment. All you would have to do the replace the text-based emoticons with the images that you have set up is as follows:


<?php
echo emoticon($comment);
?> "

Can you explain that?

Please help me It would be most appreciated.

[ashton]

See it even turned into it on the codes!!

[Ninjakreborn]

This doesn't even look to me like it will work, what the hell kind of format is this.

[code]‘:)’  => ’smile.gif’,[/code]
They are all still url encoded, I don't see why they would need to be like that when displaying them.  If you want to show emoticons, it's simple
get the pictures for the emoticon, or make them in photoshop.
Now name them what they are, if it's a smiley
gif's are better for this specific task so
smiley.gif
whatever
now save that in a variable
smiley.gif
smiley = "smiley.gif";
but make sure it's leading to the path of the picture
.
wherever you want it to appear
use
<img src="<?php echo $smiley; ?>" />
that should print out the picture
or you can dynamically use it from the database
simply put in the url of the picture in the database
and then call it from the database
and do the same thing
if you have the db array stored in $row again just use
<img src="<?php echo $row['smiley']; ?> />
or something like that.  It's pretty simple, you can set it up any number of ways if you so desired.

[Ninjakreborn]

I don't see how ,but there using shell comment tags, remove the comments, clean it up some, if you are using that anyway, atleast clean it some so we can view it, so I can understand what everything is doing

[wildteen88]

The codes fine, its becuase of the site is using the incorrect quotes instead of ‘ it is supposed to be ' and the same applies to ” which is supposed to be "

I have changed you code above and it should now work. This should now work:
[code]<?php
  // defines the emoticons
  $emoticonarray = array(
    ':)'  => 'smile.gif',
    ':King:'  => 'king.gif',
    ':*'  => 'kiss.gif',
    ':lol:'  => 'lol.gif',
    ':loser:'  => 'loser.gif',
    ':money:'  => 'moneybag.gif',
    ':muscle:'  => 'muscle.gif',
    ':no:'  => 'no.gif',
    ':nono:'  => 'nono.gif',
    ':offwall:'  => 'offwall.gif',
    ':ohboy:'  => 'ohboy.gif',
    ':pc:'  => 'pc.gif',
    ':please:'  => 'please.gif',
    ':rofl:'  => 'rofl.gif',
    ':roll:'  => 'rolleyes.gif');

  // generates the search and replace arrays
  foreach($emoticonarray as $emoticon => $img) {
    $search[] = $emoticon;
    $replace[] = '<img src="/emoticons/' . $img . '" alt="' . $emoticon . '" />';
  }
  // searches the text passed to the function
  $text = str_ireplace($search, $replace, $text);
  // return the value
  return $text;

  ?>[/code]

[ashton]

Ok I fixed up the code now its,

[code]
<?php
 // defines the emoticons
 $emoticonarray = array(
   ":)"  => "smile.gif",
   ":King:"  => "king.gif",
   ":*"  => "kiss.gif"
   ":lol:"  => "lol.gif",
   ":loser:"  => "loser.gif",
   ":money:"  => "moneybag.gif"
   ":muscle:"  => "muscle.gif",
   ":no:"  => "no.gif",
   ":nono:"  => "nono.gif"
   ":offwall:"  => "offwall.gif",
   ":ohboy:"  => "ohboy.gif",
   ":pc:"  => "pc.gif"
   ":please:"  => "please.gif",
   ":rofl:"  => "rofl.gif",
   ":roll:"  => "rolleyes.gif"
 
 // generates the search and replace arrays
 foreach($emoticonarray as $emoticon => $img) {
   $search[] = $emoticon;
   $replace[] = "<img src="/emoticons/" . $img .
                    "" alt="" . $emoticon . "" />";
 }
 // searches the text passed to the function
 $text = str_ireplace($search, $replace, $text);
 // return the value
 return $text;
?>
[/code]

But now im confused first is that correct and now what do I do In order to have the smiles show up on my forums. So im using the guide from http://ryanslife.net/2006/07/12/php-simple-emoticon-support/
Just to show you what im looking at can anyone help me here?

[ashton]

OK thank you wild, Alright now that I got your code down now what do I do (when it comes to editing it for server information etc.)

[wildteen88]

In order for that code you'll need to create a function for it, call it smilies. Then when you goto use it you use $str = smilies($str);

Which will convert any smilie code within the variable $str, $str can be any variable.

You'll have to place this code within the file that displays your forum messages. And wrap your smilies function around the variable that holds the message. Prehaps if you ask the developer that created the forum for you may be able to help with that.

[ashton]

this is the function

<?php
  // defines the emoticons
  $emoticonarray = array(
    ‘:)’  => ’smile.gif’,
    ‘:King:’  => ’king.gif’,
    ‘:*’  => ‘kiss.gif’
    ‘:lol:’  => ’lol.gif’,
    ‘:loser:’  => ’loser.gif’,
    ‘:money:’  => ‘moneybag.gif’
    ‘:muscle:’  => ’muscle.gif’,
    ‘:no:’  => ’no.gif’,
    ‘:nono:’  => ‘nono.gif’
    ‘:offwall:’  => ’offwall.gif’,
    ‘:ohboy:’  => ’ohboy.gif’,
    ‘:pc:’  => ‘pc.gif’
    ‘:please:’  => ’please.gif’,
    ‘:rofl:’  => ’rofl.gif’,
    ‘:roll:’  => ‘rolleyes.gif’
 
  // generates the search and replace arrays
  foreach($emoticonarray as $emoticon => $img) {
    $search[] = $emoticon;
    $replace[] = ‘<img src=”/emoticons/’ . $img .
                    ‘” alt=”‘ . $emoticon . ‘” />’;
  }
  // searches the text passed to the function
  $text = str_ireplace($search, $replace, $text);
  // return the value
  return $text;
?>


Do I need to edit anything in there? Or just put the

$str = smilies($str);

were I want it to show up and it will work?

[wildteen88]

That cade isnt a function yet as you havent defined it. In order for it be a function you do this:
[code]function function_name() {
    // code for function
}[/code]
So this is what its supposed to be:
[code]function smilies($text) {
  // defines the emoticons
  $emoticonarray = array(
    ":)"  => "smile.gif",
    ":King:"  => "king.gif",
    ":*"  => "kiss.gif"
    ":lol:"  => "lol.gif",
    ":loser:"  => "loser.gif",
    ":money:"  => "moneybag.gif"
    ":muscle:"  => "muscle.gif",
    ":no:"  => "no.gif",
    ":nono:"  => "nono.gif"
    ":offwall:"  => "offwall.gif",
    ":ohboy:"  => "ohboy.gif",
    ":pc:"  => "pc.gif"
    ":please:"  => "please.gif",
    ":rofl:"  => "rofl.gif",
    ":roll:"  => "rolleyes.gif"
 
  // generates the search and replace arrays
  foreach($emoticonarray as $emoticon => $img) {
    $search[] = $emoticon;
    $replace[] = "<img src="/emoticons/" . $img .
                    "" alt="" . $emoticon . "" />";
  }
  // searches the text passed to the function
  $text = str_ireplace($search, $replace, $text);

  // return the value
  return $text;
}[/code]

[ashton]

Alright I put that up now my question is were do I put,

$str = smilies($str);

And how do I tell my forums to make the specified text into other smilies? Like were would I put a script at in the Forums php script file or in the db somewerE?

[wildteen88]

Wherer you put the code I have no idea, as I dont know what your forum code is. So its impossible for me to tell the exact location. This is why I recommend you to contact the developer of the script which might be able to help.
Also you dont use this code exactly:
[code]$str = smilies($str);[/code]
You'll need to change $str to the variable your script uses to hold the forums message.

[ashton]

Alright well if you have AIM im me Ashtonhy
And I know were the forum code is however how would I find out what the variable is?

[ashton]

the databases name is forum so would the variable just be $forum ??

[ashton]

And do I put $str = smilies($str); that were the forum scripts are?

[wildteen88]

You cannot just put $str = smilies($str); anywhere and expect it to work. If you zip your forum code up and provide a link to download it and I'll see if I can see where it'll need to be placed. At the moment I cannot tell where it'll need to placed as I need to see the code in order to know that.

[ashton]

[code][code]This is my code for Smilies.php (function)

[code]function smilies($forum) {
  // defines the emoticons
  $emoticonarray = array(
    ":)"  => "smile.gif",
    ":King:"  => "king.gif",
    ":*"  => "kiss.gif"
    ":lol:"  => "lol.gif",
    ":loser:"  => "loser.gif",
    ":money:"  => "moneybag.gif"
    ":muscle:"  => "muscle.gif",
    ":no:"  => "no.gif",
    ":nono:"  => "nono.gif"
    ":offwall:"  => "offwall.gif",
    ":ohboy:"  => "ohboy.gif",
    ":pc:"  => "pc.gif"
    ":please:"  => "please.gif",
    ":rofl:"  => "rofl.gif",
    ":roll:"  => "rolleyes.gif"
 
  // generates the search and replace arrays
  foreach($emoticonarray as $emoticon => $img) {
    $search[] = $emoticon;
    $replace[] = "<img src="emoticons/" . $img .
                     "" alt="" . $emoticon . "" />";
  }
  // searches the text passed to the function

Any Ideas what to do, I got a folder names emoticons with all the smilies in it as well and thats whats set up what should I do now?[/code][/code]

[ashton]

Any more information you need? :-/

Im sorry to have botherd you so much.

[wildteen88]

Okay. place your smiles function code before this line:
[code]function showthread($id, $start) {[/code]

Now change this:
[code]if ($count == 1) {
            $page .= "<tr><td width=\"25%\" style=\"background-color:#ffffff; vertical-align:top;\"><span class=\"small\"><b>".$row["author"]."</b><br /><br />".prettyforumdate($row["postdate"])."</td><td style=\"background-color:#ffffff; vertical-align:top;\">".nl2br($row["content"])."</td></tr>\n";
            $count = 2;
        } else {
            $page .= "<tr><td width=\"25%\" style=\"background-color:#eeeeee; vertical-align:top;\"><span class=\"small\"><b>".$row["author"]."</b><br /><br />".prettyforumdate($row["postdate"])."</td><td style=\"background-color:#eeeeee; vertical-align:top;\">".nl2br($row["content"])."</td></tr>\n";
            $count = 1;
        }[/code]
to this:
[code]if ($count == 1) {
            $page .= "<tr><td width=\"25%\" style=\"background-color:#ffffff; vertical-align:top;\"><span class=\"small\"><b>".$row["author"]."</b><br /><br />".prettyforumdate($row["postdate"])."</td><td style=\"background-color:#ffffff; vertical-align:top;\">".nl2br(smilies($row["content"]))."</td></tr>\n";
            $count = 2;
        } else {
            $page .= "<tr><td width=\"25%\" style=\"background-color:#eeeeee; vertical-align:top;\"><span class=\"small\"><b>".$row["author"]."</b><br /><br />".prettyforumdate($row["postdate"])."</td><td style=\"background-color:#eeeeee; vertical-align:top;\">".nl2br(smilies($row["content"]))."</td></tr>\n";
            $count = 1;
        }[/code]
It should now parse any smilie code.

[ashton]

Ok this is what I tried to do, this is my smilie function code, that is saved as Smilies.php.

[code]<?php

$dbh=mysql_connect ("localhost", "spyderw_Ashton", "ashton2004596") or die ('I cannot connect to the database because: ' . mysql_error());
mysql_select_db ("spyderw_dk");

function smilies($forum) {
  // defines the emoticons
  $emoticonarray = array(
    ":)"  => "smile.gif",
    ":King:"  => "king.gif",
    ":*"  => "kiss.gif"
    ":lol:"  => "lol.gif",
    ":loser:"  => "loser.gif",
    ":money:"  => "moneybag.gif"
    ":muscle:"  => "muscle.gif",
    ":no:"  => "no.gif",
    ":nono:"  => "nono.gif"
    ":offwall:"  => "offwall.gif",
    ":ohboy:"  => "ohboy.gif",
    ":pc:"  => "pc.gif"
    ":please:"  => "please.gif",
    ":rofl:"  => "rofl.gif",
    ":roll:"  => "rolleyes.gif"
 
  // generates the search and replace arrays
  foreach($emoticonarray as $emoticon => $img) {
    $search[] = $emoticon;
    $replace[] = "<img src="emoticons/" . $img .
                    "" alt="" . $emoticon . "" />";
  }
  // searches the text passed to the function
  $text = str_ireplace($search, $replace, $text);

  // return the value
  return $forum;

}
function showthread($id, $start) { [/code]

The code should be this:
[code=php:0]function smilies($forum) {
  // defines the emoticons
  $emoticonarray = array(
    ":)"  => "smile.gif",
    ":King:"  => "king.gif",
    ":*"  => "kiss.gif"
    ":lol:"  => "lol.gif",
    ":loser:"  => "loser.gif",
    ":money:"  => "moneybag.gif"
    ":muscle:"  => "muscle.gif",
    ":no:"  => "no.gif",
    ":nono:"  => "nono.gif"
    ":offwall:"  => "offwall.gif",
    ":ohboy:"  => "ohboy.gif",
    ":pc:"  => "pc.gif"
    ":please:"  => "please.gif",
    ":rofl:"  => "rofl.gif",
    ":roll:"  => "rolleyes.gif"
 
  // generates the search and replace arrays
  foreach($emoticonarray as $emoticon => $img) {
    $search[] = $emoticon;
    $replace[] = "<img src="emoticons/" . $img .
                    "" alt="" . $emoticon . "" />";
  }
  // searches the text passed to the function
  $text = str_ireplace($search, $replace, $text);

  // return the value
  return $forum;
