Emoticons - hover description

[Clickfinity]

Not sure if this ever worked, but hovering over the emoticons doesn't tell me what they are / are for, or what the BBCode is for adding them.

Any chance of adding the BBCode as a hover pull-out, e.g.; hover over Thumbs Up emoticon and you see : thumbsup : (can't use the actual code as it renders the smiley ... lol)

Cheers,
Shaun :thumbsup:

A small change to the ips.editor.js file should do the trick.

Find:

var _emo_html = ' <img src="' + _emo_url + '" class="bbc_emoticon" alt="' + this.unhtmlspecialchars( emo_code ) + '" />';

Change to:

var _emo_html = ' <img src="' + _emo_url + '" class="bbc_emoticon" alt="' + this.unhtmlspecialchars( emo_code ) + '" title="' + this.unhtmlspecialchars( emo_code ) + '" />';

Should do a pop-up of :thumbsup: over :thumbsup:

Would like to see it as default though.

Cor blimey ... that looks nice and simple.

Could it be included in 3.1? <Pretty please .... :thumbsup: >

Cheers,

That won't do the trick wolfie. That will do it when you insert the emoticon into the RTE, but when it's submitted that will simply be removed when the HTML is recreated by the parsing engine.

You'd effectively need to modify admin/sources/classes/bbcode/core.php and find

return "<img src='" . $this->settings['emoticons_url'] . "/{$_emoImage}' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='#EMO_ALT_{$this->emoticon_count}#' />";

and change to

return "<img src='" . $this->settings['emoticons_url'] . "/{$_emoImage}' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='#EMO_ALT_{$this->emoticon_count}#' title='#EMO_ALT_{$this->emoticon_count}#' />";

Now...I'm not sure if that will cause any issues when IPB tries to UNparse it, since I haven't tested, but that should help get you started.

Brandon (or anyone), that is considered a file edit, which would need to be re-done after every subsequent upgrade, correct?

Correct.

Any chance of squeezing this into 3.1?

I had done a search for class="bbc_emoticon", which returned the javascript file. I had neglected to search for it using single quote's. Consistency I tell ya, should be " in both places. :lol:

That's no way to beg. Try it the right way, like this...

PLEASE!!!!!! It's such a simple change to make for it to work with additional browsers..
