it works, only one small problem. i installed it and typed a post with 9 smilies in it to see the error message and it said

"testYou can use a maximum of 8 smilies in a single post.

However your current post contains 9 smilies."


is there any way i can get rid of that test word in the message?

also, not that it makes any difference in this mod, but i think its standard to put stuff before "That's all Folks! " in the lang file, not after.

[IDB]

Delete the word "test" in the last part of the code:


Change:

Code: Select all

# 
#-----[ AFTER, ADD ]------------------------------------------ 
# 
         $number_of_smilies=smilies_count($message); 
         if ($number_of_smilies > 8) 
         { 
            message_die(GENERAL_ERROR, 'test'.sprintf( $lang['limitsmilies_error'], $number_of_smilies)); 
         } 

To:

Code: Select all

# 
#-----[ AFTER, ADD ]------------------------------------------ 
# 
         $number_of_smilies=smilies_count($message); 
         if ($number_of_smilies > 8) 
         { 
            message_die(GENERAL_ERROR, sprintf( $lang['limitsmilies_error'], $number_of_smilies)); 
         }

thanks, i wasnt sure how to take that outta there

[Duskette]

will having a back button together with the error message make this mod more user-friendly?

[R. U. Serious]

Thanks, I corrected that test-thingy.

edit @ tuck below: Yes, I corrected that, too.

[tuck]

a small thing on the how-to, you wrote to find /language/lang_english/
without pointing to the file which is lang_main.php

Ps: you can't even imagine how much this mod can be useful for me

Pps: can you do something to limit images? I tried a mod by fubonis but it does not work

[Prisoner]

Worked fine for my board.

I did change it to a limit of 5 per message.

Thank you.

[tuck]

works fine for me too, but users can post how many smilies they want simply using the bbcode (img) (/img)
That's why I asked for something on images too.

If you allow only one image they can still compose an image consisting of many smilies next to each other and post that. You see, it is just about raising the bar and communicating what is desired/allowed and what is not.

[Ralendil]

The mod to limit images and smilies already exist. (search in this forum)

Thx RU Serious. This was I have requested long time ago

Well done.

[tuck]

thanks but it does not work for me and anyway smiles limitations is not working

[letimeric]

its working but, when click back button and delete the smilies to the number specific, it add these smilies to the previous number of smilies

like
when post, 9
click on submit, i get the general error message
when click back, and delete 1
and click on submit, i get the general error message with 17 smilies being used...how come?
and click back, it keep adding again and again

this is error from quick reply box

thank you
