How to change smiley :) text to image in textarea

[rickmick]

I have a code that will onclick, change a smiley face image to text in the textarea. When I click submit on the text area all it does is display the same text on my comment, not an image of smiley face. Here is the function.

 

function insertSmiley(smiley)

    {

   

        var currentText = document.getElementById("comment");

       

        var smileyWithPadding = " " + smiley + " ";

        currentText.value += smileyWithPadding;

    currentText.focus();

   

    }

 

And then the html.

 

<img src="{SITE_URL}/smile/smile.gif"  onclick="insertSmiley('')" />

<img src="{SITE_URL}/smile/beam.gif"  onclick="insertSmiley(':-)')" />

<img src="{SITE_URL}/smile/bounce.gif" onClick="insertSmiley(':=(')" />

<img src="{SITE_URL}/smile/boxer.gif"  onclick="insertSmiley('=')" />

 

The code above works great to enter text into my textarea, but i also want it to convert to a image when I hit submit. I have read articles for about 3 days with no luck. The answer might be there but I am to dumb to know it. Thank you

By "after you click submit", do you mean in the PHP code handling the form data? If so, then you quite literally just need to use the str_replace function to match each smiley and convert it to the correct image as you output the text.

[rickmick]

Ok, the function is in my header.html.

 

function insertSmiley(smiley)

    {

   

        var currentText = document.getElementById("comment");

       

        var smileyWithPadding = " " + smiley + " ";

        currentText.value += smileyWithPadding;

    currentText.focus();

   

    }

 

This is in my story.html

 

IF("{LOGGEDIN}"=="1"){<form name="form1" method="post" action="{SITE_URL}story.php?id={STORY_ID}" style="padding:0px;margin:0px;">

                          <table width="100%"  border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">

                            <tr id="creply" style="display:none;">

                              <td>Replying to comment by <span id="replynick"></span></td>

                            </tr>

                            <tr> 

                            <td><input type="button" value="Blue Text" name="btnBold" onClick="wrapText(document.getElementById('comment'),'<font color=blue><p><i>','</p></i></font>');"> After Clicking Quote, Highlight Reply Text and Click Button for Blue Text Quote </td>

                           

                              </tr>

                             

                          <tr>

                         

                              <img src="{SITE_URL}/smile/smile.gif"  onclick="insertSmiley('')" />

                              <img src="{SITE_URL}/smile/beam.gif"  onclick="insertSmiley(':-)')" />

                                <img src="{SITE_URL}/smile/bounce.gif" onClick="insertSmiley(':=(')" />

                              <img src="{SITE_URL}/smile/boxer.gif"  onclick="insertSmiley('=')" />

                             

                            <td><textarea name="comment" id="comment" style="width:95%;height:100px;"></textarea></td>

                             

                            </tr>

                            <tr>

                              <td><input type="submit" name="Submit" value="{LANG_ADDCOM2}"><input type="hidden" name="parentid" id="parentid" value="0"></td>

                              </tr>

                              <tr>

                             

                          </tr>

                          </table>

                          <br>

                            </form>{:IF}

 

I have this in my story.php trying it out.

 

str_replace(':-)', '<img src="{SITE_URL}/smile/smile.gif" />', $comment);

 

I have also tried this.

 

$smiley = array("");

 

$replace = array ( '<img src="{SITE_URL}/smile/smile.gif">');

 

$result = str_replace($smiley, $replace, $comment);

 

I have tried different one with no luck. Like I said when it come to a lot of things I am stupid. Thanks

 

 

 

[rickmick]

Sorry, I meant that I have tried it out with this code.

 

 

str_replace('', '<img src="{SITE_URL}/smile/smile.gif" />', $comment);

 

 

[AyKay47]

should work.. what are your results..?

Also, where is $comment coming from..?

[rickmick]

Attached is two images of what is taking place.

 

comment1 image is after the user clicks the smile image and it inserts the smiley character.

 

comment2 image is after the user hits add comment. As you can see just a charactor and not an image.

 

I hope that this makes thing clear. Thanks again

You are displaying the contents of $result and not $comment aren't you?

[rickmick]

I know just enough php to make me dangerous. I believe it is a comment form posting the results.

[Adam]

$result = str_replace($smiley, $replace, $comment);

 

Here you're assinging the replaced values into $result - $comment is not affected. If you're later displaying $comment theny you're displaying the comment without the replacements.

[rickmick]

Adam , I have tried this below in my php. I am lost on how to fix it. Is there a solution in php or in javascript for a replacement.

 

$image = "{SITE_URL}/smile/smile.gif";

        $code = "";

        $comment = str_replace($code, $image, $comment);

[Adam]

I don't think given the code you've shown us we can help. Can you post all the code as it is?

There are some issues with your code here, but most importantly you're converting the smiley at the wrong point. Instead of doing it as you INSERT it into the database, you should do it as you SELECT it (i.e. when you output it). This means the user/admin is able to modify the comment without blocks of HTML, it doesn't take up as much memory, and doesn't affect the maximum length of a post. Also that way if you ever wish to change the mark-up of the HTML (add a class to the smiley images for example), you don't need to do any complicated UPDATE within the database. This should also be the case for any other BBCode you may use.

 

Try moving the logic and come back if you run into any issues.

This was a addon to my site. I don't have a clue on how to fix it.  I guess I will remove all  codes from my site and move on. Thanks, again.
