    Posted: 07 May 2006 at 8:45am
Hi All
 
Would anyone know how to modify the Message Icon under "Edit Post" to be a radio button instead of a drop down box. I only want the user to be able to select the "thumbs up" or "thumbs down" image. The corresponding image should be displayed when you select the radio button. I have worked out how to change the drop down box to display only two options but I would like it to be chosen through this radio button.
 
Many thanks for all the help.

Heyho :)
 
Do you mean something like this:
 
 
The only "problem" is, that on new posts the default is the first :)
 
If its that what you searched for write a message here and I'll post the code changes needed. If it's not describe it more and I'll try to do it...

Hi Chris
 
Many thanks for your prompt reply. Thats exactly what I want. Is it possible to not have a default? The user then has to select one of the two options otherwise the form results in an error similar to the error received if no subject is inserted.
 
Hope this is possible and not too difficult. Thanks once again for your help.
 
Regards,
Bryn

I've updated the files...
 
chapman_bryn:
Can you please test it yourself on my forum?
--> http://board.teraweb.ch
 
Just create a new account and create a topic - it should work now.
If you think it's ok write a msg here and I'll post change-instructions :)

-edit-
The board is partially translated to german - if you know the navigation from this forum it should not be a problem :)

Here we go...
 
Step 1: new_post.asp
 
Search for:


'********************************************
'***  Clean up and check in form details  ***
'********************************************


'If there is no subject or message then don't post the message as won't be able to link to it
If strSubject = "" AND (strMode = "new" OR strMode = "poll") Then strReturnCode = "noSubject"
 
below "if strSubject = "" ..." add the following line:


if strTopicIcon = "" AND (strMode = "new" OR strMode = "poll") then strReturnCode = "noTopicIcon" ' tw-MOD: Check if a topic icon is selected
 
Step 2: not_posted.asp
 
Search for:


'Write the error message
If strErrorCode = "posted" Then
 Response.Write(strTxtDoublePostingIsNotPermitted) 
ElseIf strErrorCode = "noSubject" Then
 Response.Write(strTxtYourMessageNoValidSubjectHeading) 
ElseIf strErrorCode = "maxS" OR strErrorCode = "maxM" Then    
 Response.Write(strTxtSpammingIsNotPermitted & "<br />" & strTxtYouHaveExceededNumOfPostAllowed) 
ElseIf strErrorCode = "noPoll" Then
 Response.Write(strTxtYourNoValidPoll) 
ElseIf strErrorCode = "FLocked" Then
 Response.Write(strTxtThisForumIsLocked) 
ElseIf strErrorCode = "TClosed" Then
 Response.Write(strTxtThisTopicIsLocked)
 
below "Response.Write(strTxtThisTopicIsLocked)" add the following line:


ElseIf strErrorCode = "noTopicIcon" Then
 Response.Write(strTxtNoTopicIcon)


 ' tw-MOD: Send error Message to client if no topic icon is selected
 
Step 3: includes/message_form_inc.asp
 
Search for:


 'Display message icon drop down
 If blnTopicIcon AND NOT strMode = "PM" Then


  'Get the topic icon array
  %><!--#include file="topic_icon_inc.asp" -->
  <tr>
   <td align="right" width="30%"><% = strTxtMessageIcon %>:</td>
   <td align="left" width="70%">
    <select name="icon" id="icon" onChange="(T_icon.src = icon.options[icon.selectedIndex].value)" >
     <option value="<% = strImagePath %>topic_icon.gif"<% If strTopicIcon = "" Then Response.Write(" selected") %>><% = strTxtNoneSelected %></option><%


  'Loop through to display topic icons
  For intLoop = 1 TO Ubound(saryTopicIcon)


   Response.Write(vbCrLf & "     <option value=""" & saryTopicIcon(intLoop,2) & """")
   If strTopicIcon = saryTopicIcon(intLoop,2) Then Response.Write(" selected")
   Response.Write(">" & saryTopicIcon(intLoop,1) & "</option>")
  Next


  'If no topic Icon the get the default one
  If strTopicIcon = "" Then strTopicIcon = strImagePath & "topic_icon.gif"
%>
    </select>
    &nbsp;&nbsp;<img src="<% = strTopicIcon %>" border="0" align="middle" id="T_icon" alt"<% = strTxtMessageIcon %>" />
   </td>
  </tr><%


 End If
 
Replace (!) it with the following code:


 'Display message icon drop down
 If blnTopicIcon AND NOT strMode = "PM" Then


  'Get the topic icon array
  %><!--#include file="topic_icon_inc.asp" -->
  <tr>
   <td align="right" width="30%"><% = strTxtMessageIcon %>:</td>
   <td align="left" width="70%">
  <input name="icon" type="radio" id="icon" value="smileys/smiley20.gif" <% if strTopicIcon = "smileys/smiley20.gif" then %>checked="checked"<% end if %> /><img src="smileys/smiley20.gif" border="0" align="middle" id="T_icon" alt"Message Icon - Thumbs up" />
  <input name="icon" type="radio" id="icon2" value="smileys/smiley21.gif" <% if strTopicIcon = "smileys/smiley21.gif" then %>checked="checked"<% end if %>/><img src="smileys/smiley21.gif" border="0" align="middle" id="T_icon2" alt"Message Icon - Thumbs down" />
   </td>
  </tr><%


 End If
 
Step 4: language_files/language_file_inc.asp

Search for:


'not_posted.asp
'---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Const strTxtMessageNotPosted = "Message Not Posted"
Const strTxtDoublePostingIsNotPermitted = "Double posting is not permitted; your message has been posted already."
Const strTxtSpammingIsNotPermitted = "Spamming is not permitted!"
Const strTxtYouHaveExceededNumOfPostAllowed = "You have exceeded the number of posts permitted in the time span.<br /><br />Please try again later."
Const strTxtYourMessageNoValidSubjectHeading = "Your message did not contain a valid subject heading and/or message body."
 
below "Const strTxtYourMessageNoValidSubjectHeading..." add the following line:


Const strTxtNoTopicIcon = "You have not selected a topic icon." ' tw-MOD: Text to display if no topic icon is selected
 
puh :)
I hope this is everything!
Just try & error - if it does not work drop a line here :)
