<h1>Smiley Helper</h1>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<p>The Smiley Helper file contains functions that let you manage smileys (emoticons).</p>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<h2>Loading this Helper</h2>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<p>This helper is loaded using the following code:</p>
 | 
						|
<code>$this->load->helper('smiley');</code>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<h2>Overview</h2>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<p>The Smiley helper has a renderer that takes plain text simileys, like <dfn>:-)</dfn> and turns
 | 
						|
them into a image representation, like <img src="../images/smile.gif" width="19" height="19" border="0" alt="smile!" /></p>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<p>It also lets you display a set of smiley images that when clicked will be inserted into a form field.
 | 
						|
For example, if you have a blog that allows user commenting you can show the smileys next to the comment form.
 | 
						|
Your users can click a desired smiley and with the help of some JavaScript it will be placed into the form field.</p>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<h2>Clickable Smileys Tutorial</h2>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<p>Here is an example demonstrating how you might create a set of clickable smileys next to a form field. This example
 | 
						|
requires that you first download and install the smiley images, then create a controller and the View as described.</p>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<p class="important"><strong>Important:</strong> Before you begin, please <a href="http://codeigniter.com/download_files/smileys.zip">download the smiley images</a> and put them in
 | 
						|
a publicly accessible place on your server.  This helper also assumes you have the smiley replacement array located at
 | 
						|
<dfn>application/config/smileys.php</dfn></p>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<h3>The Controller</h3>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<p>In your <dfn>application/controllers/</dfn> folder, create a file called <kbd>smileys.php</kbd> and place the code below in it.</p>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<p><strong>Important:</strong> Change the URL in the <dfn>get_clickable_smileys()</dfn> function below so that it points to 
 | 
						|
your <dfn>smiley</dfn> folder.</p>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<p>You'll notice that in addition to the smiley helper we are using the <a href="../libraries/table.html">Table Class</a>.</p>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<textarea class="textarea" style="width:100%" cols="50" rows="25">
 | 
						|
<?php
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
class Smileys extends Controller {
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
	function Smileys()
 | 
						|
	{
 | 
						|
		parent::Controller();
 | 
						|
	}
 | 
						|
	
 | 
						|
	function index()
 | 
						|
	{
 | 
						|
		$this->load->helper('smiley');
 | 
						|
		$this->load->library('table');
 | 
						|
		
 | 
						|
		$image_array = get_clickable_smileys('http://example.com/images/smileys/', 'comments');
 | 
						|
		
 | 
						|
		$col_array = $this->table->make_columns($image_array, 8);
 | 
						|
		
 | 
						|
		$data['smiley_table'] = $this->table->generate($col_array);
 | 
						|
		
 | 
						|
		$this->load->view('smiley_view', $data);
 | 
						|
	}
 | 
						|
	
 | 
						|
}
 | 
						|
?>
 | 
						|
</textarea>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<p>In your <dfn>application/views/</dfn> folder, create a file called <kbd>smiley_view.php</kbd> and place this code in it:</p>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<textarea class="textarea" style="width:100%" cols="50" rows="20">
 | 
						|
<html>
 | 
						|
<head>
 | 
						|
<title>Smileys</title>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<?php echo smiley_js(); ?>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
</head>
 | 
						|
<body>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<form name="blog">
 | 
						|
<textarea name="comments" id="comments" cols="40" rows="4"></textarea>
 | 
						|
</form>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<p>Click to insert a smiley!</p>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<?php echo $smiley_table; ?>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
</body>
 | 
						|
</html>
 | 
						|
</textarea>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<p>When you have created the above controller and view, load it by visiting <dfn>http://www.example.com/index.php/smileys/</dfn></p>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<h3>Field Aliases</h3>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<p>When making changes to a view it can be inconvenient to have the field id in the controller. To work around this,
 | 
						|
you can give your smiley links a generic name that will be tied to a specific id in your view.</p>
 | 
						|
<code>$image_array = get_smiley_links("http://example.com/images/smileys/", "comment_textarea_alias");</code>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<p>To map the alias to the field id, pass them both into the smiley_js function:</p>
 | 
						|
<code>$image_array = smiley_js("comment_textarea_alias", "comments");</code>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<h1>Function Reference</h1>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<h2>get_clickable_smileys()</h2>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<p>Returns an array containing your smiley images wrapped in a clickable link.  You must supply the URL to your smiley folder
 | 
						|
and a field id or field alias.</p>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<code>$image_array = get_smiley_links("http://example.com/images/smileys/", "comment");</code>
 | 
						|
<p class="important">Note: Usage of this function without the second parameter, in combination with js_insert_smiley has been deprecated.</p>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<h2>smiley_js()</h2>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<p>Generates the JavaScript that allows the images to be clicked and inserted into a form field.
 | 
						|
If you supplied an alias instead of an id when generating your smiley links, you need to pass the
 | 
						|
alias and corresponding form id into the function.
 | 
						|
This function is designed to be placed into the <head> area of your web page.</p>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<code><?php echo smiley_js(); ?></code>
 | 
						|
<p class="important">Note: This function replaces js_insert_smiley, which has been deprecated.</p>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<h2>parse_smileys()</h2>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<p>Takes a string of text as input and replaces any contained plain text smileys into the image
 | 
						|
equivalent.  The first parameter must contain your string, the second must contain  the URL to your smiley folder:</p>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<code>
 | 
						|
$str = 'Here are some simileys: :-)  ;-)';
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
$str = parse_smileys($str, "http://example.com/images/smileys/");
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
echo $str;
 | 
						|
</code>
