Hello,
How do I change at block 'recent posts' the ''images/sp/post.png'' to ''posts' message icon' ?
-
You can find in ./Sources/PortalBlocks.php:
', sp_embed_image(empty($parameters['type']) ? 'post' : 'topic'), 'and replace it with HTML image code:
<img src="URL_TO_IMAGE" alt="">
But then this will affect every recent topics and recent posts blocks.
Or you can use this in custom PHP block:
global $txt, $scripturl, $settings, $context, $color_profile;
$block_parameters = array(
'boards' => 'boards',
'limit' => 'int',
'type' => 'select',
'display' => 'select',
);
if ($return_parameters)
return $block_parameters;
$boards = !empty($parameters['boards']) ? explode('|', $parameters['boards']) : null;
$limit = !empty($parameters['limit']) ? (int) $parameters['limit'] : 5;
$type = 'ssi_recent' . (empty($parameters['type']) ? 'Posts' : 'Topics');
$display = 'full';
$items = $type($limit, null, $boards, 'array');
if (empty($items))
{
echo '
', $txt['error_sp_no_posts_found'];
return;
}
else
$items[count($items) - 1]['is_last'] = true;
$colorids = array();
foreach ($items as $item)
$colorids[] = $item['poster']['id'];
if (!empty($colorids) && sp_loadColors($colorids) !== false)
{
foreach ($items as $k => $p)
{
if (!empty($color_profile[$p['poster']['id']]['link']))
$items[$k]['poster']['link'] = $color_profile[$p['poster']['id']]['link'];
}
}
if ($display == 'compact')
{
foreach ($items as $key => $item)
echo '
<a href="', $item['href'], '">', $item['subject'], '</a> <span class="smalltext">', $txt['by'], ' ', $item['poster']['link'], $item['new'] ? '' : ' <a href="' . $scripturl . '?topic=' . $item['topic'] . '.msg' . $item['new_from'] . ';topicseen#new" rel="nofollow"><img src="' . $settings['lang_images_url'] . '/new.gif" alt="' . $txt['new'] . '" border="0" /></a>', '<br />[', $item['time'], ']</span><br />', empty($item['is_last']) ? '<hr />' : '';
}
elseif ($display == 'full')
{
echo '
<table class="sp_fullwidth">';
foreach ($items as $item)
echo '
<tr>
<td class="sp_recent_icon sp_center">
', sp_embed_image(empty($parameters['type']) ? 'post' : 'topic'), '
</td>
<td class="sp_recent_subject">
<a href="', $item['href'], '">', $item['subject'], '</a>
', $item['new'] ? '' : '<a href="' . $scripturl . '?topic=' . $item['topic'] . '.msg' . $item['new_from'] . ';topicseen#new"><img src="' . $settings['images_url'] . '/' . $context['user']['language'] . '/new.gif" alt="' . $txt['new'] . '" border="0" /></a>', '<br />[', $item['board']['link'], ']
</td>
<td class="sp_recent_info sp_right">
', $item['poster']['link'], '<br />', $item['time'], '
</td>
</tr>';
echo '
</table>';
}
and replace in this code
', sp_embed_image(empty($parameters['type']) ? 'post' : 'topic'), 'with HTML image code:
<img src="URL_TO_IMAGE" alt="">
-
I used your custom php code and changed that HTML code with sp_embed..
All good but the 'message icons' are not visible..
-
What exactly are you adding in PHP block?

Kobar,
You need to edit in the appropriate image url. Your block code has the initial image for full display as URL_TO_IMAGE ... you need to edit that text to the full url of the image you are attempting to display.
-
Ah! But the message icons are not always the same.. Sometimes people are posting from iphone, blackberry and android.. I just need the message icon people are posting with.. :)
(see attachment)
-
I could be wrong, but seems you'll need to get the "icon" info from the messages databse to make that happen. and change that image line to something like this ...
<img src="', $settings['images_url'], '/images/post/'.$icon.'.gif" alt="">

I tried that.
I also tried from Defaut/post.template.php
<img src="', $context['icon_url'], '" name="icons" hspace="15" alt="" />
But nothing appears..
-
I never said simply putting that would work. You'd need to retrieve the "icon" data from the messages database table before it would do anything..
-
Kobar,
Do you have a modification installed that detects the source hardware (ie. specific mobile device) and then alters the message icon to match the device? Or perhaps a mod that allows the user to select more icons beyond the defaults? If so can you provide a link to that modification?
The messages table in the database does not contain such portable device icons & I assume you must be using some mod that adds these. Furthermore, the default SSI function you are using in your block does not retrieve that specific data & would need to be altered or another function made anew. After which your block would need to be altered to display that retrieved data.
Edit -> This mod perhaps? ... http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=3349
-
Hello Underdog,
I have installed a mod yes. I'm not allowed to post that mod in public, but I will send it to you in PM, if that's ok?
-
Kobar,
I had assumed it was a mod from the SMF site & am not willing to download files from unknown sources such as the one you provided for reasons of possible security/viruses. If you can figure out what column the mod added to your messages table or what additional table with columns it added to render these images then I can help you. This can be done via phpmyadmin where you would need to browse your database for the table information that is necessary to perform the needed edits/code.
It's possible that this mod automatically adds the icon file name to the icon column in the messages table which is an existing column but you will have to determine this & then I will be able to assist you. Show me a screenshot of the top of one of these forum posts (the actual post). Does this icon appear directly left of the post title?
-
Kobar,
The following is assuming the mod in question uses the messages_icon table/column.
You need to perform edits to the SSI.php file.

I will attach a copy of the SSI.php file with the above edits already implemented assuming you do not have any previous needed edits to your current file.
Here is the block code:
global $txt, $scripturl, $settings, $context, $color_profile;
$block_parameters = array(
'boards' => null,
'limit' => '5',
'type' => 'Topics',
'display' => 'full',
);
$boards = $block_parameters['boards'] ? $block_parameters['boards'] : null;
$limit = $block_parameters['limit'] ? (int) $block_parameters['limit'] : 5;
$type = 'ssi_recent' . (!$block_parameters['type'] ? 'Posts' : $block_parameters['type']);
$display = $block_parameters['display'] ? $block_parameters['display'] : 'full';
$items = $type($limit, null, $boards, 'array');
if (empty($items))
{
echo $txt['error_sp_no_posts_found'];
return;
}
else
$items[count($items) - 1]['is_last'] = true;
$colorids = array();
foreach ($items as $item)
$colorids[] = $item['poster']['id'];
if (!empty($colorids) && sp_loadColors($colorids) !== false)
{
foreach ($items as $k => $p)
{
if (!empty($color_profile[$p['poster']['id']]['link']))
$items[$k]['poster']['link'] = $color_profile[$p['poster']['id']]['link'];
}
}
if ($display == 'compact')

If you want specific boards only, edit the boards of the block_parameters with an array.
null will display all boards (current setting)
ie.
global $txt, $scripturl, $settings, $context, $color_profile;
$block_parameters = array(
'boards' => array(1,2,3,4),
'limit' => '5',
'type' => 'Topics',
'display' => 'full',
);
$boards = $block_parameters['boards'] ? $block_parameters['boards'] : null;
$limit = $block_parameters['limit'] ? (int) $block_parameters['limit'] : 5;
$type = 'ssi_recent' . (!$block_parameters['type'] ? 'Posts' : $block_parameters['type']);
$display = $block_parameters['display'] ? $block_parameters['display'] : 'full';
$items = $type($limit, null, $boards, 'array');
if (empty($items))
{
echo $txt['error_sp_no_posts_found'];
return;
}
else
$items[count($items) - 1]['is_last'] = true;
$colorids = array();
foreach ($items as $item)
$colorids[] = $item['poster']['id'];
if (!empty($colorids) && sp_loadColors($colorids) !== false)
{
foreach ($items as $k => $p)
{
if (!empty($color_profile[$p['poster']['id']]['link']))
$items[$k]['poster']['link'] = $color_profile[$p['poster']['id']]['link'];
}
}
if ($display == 'compact')
{
foreach ($items as $key => $item)
echo '
<a href="', $item['href'], '">', $item['subject'], '</a> <span class="smalltext">', $txt['by'], ' ', $item['poster']['link'], $item['new'] ? '' : ' <a href="' . $scripturl . '?topic=' . $item['topic'] . '.msg' . $item['new_from'] . ';topicseen#new" rel="nofollow"><img src="' . $settings['lang_images_url'] . '/new.gif" alt="' . $txt['new'] .

}
else
{
echo '

foreach ($items as $item)
echo '
