This mod adds a filter by message icons to specific boards. Just look at the screenshots, it's really quite simple.
feature list:
- the filter dialogue may be collapsed
- multiple filters can be selected at once by holding down SHIFT while clicking
- stickies are always shown
- option to allow use of board-specific message icons in the first post of a thread only, and fall back to default ones (ie, those for all boards) for replies
known issues:
- the page number is not adjusted for filtered results. very minor, probably not worth fixing.
- default theme only :P
All relevant settings are in the Settings tab of "Smileys and Message Icons" in the admin menu.
This is a great alternative if you have seperate but similar content, but not enough overall to warrant several subforums.
Do you have a demo???
it's implemented on my forums:
http://mugenguild.com/forumx/index.php?board=310.0
which is where the screenshots are from, too.
hi,
how do I install to a custom skin?
I use: Aa_New_Damage skin
and my smf forums's version is 1.1.2
work fine
I know you say "defaul theme only", but it shouldn't be too difficult to adapt it to a custom theme...
... I'll check on it and give it a try.
of course you can mod it into a custom theme. it's not that difficult either. just need to do it, which I didn't :P
can you tell me how? lol
Actuallym Valodim, I'm having some trouble installing it even on default theme.
I'm using SMF 1.1.2 and the "filter-window" doesn't appear, even with the correct board ID. Does it need some other option enabled to work, like custom message icons or it just works specifically with custom message icons?

yes the ones used in the filter are the custom message icons for that board. thought that was obvious... isn't it? might need to add that to the readme then :P
Oh ok... now it works, even on custom theme... one just have to follow what's in the xml (and to adapt certain stuff that remains only your own custom theme ;))
Thanks, it's great!
How do you install it on a CUSTOM theme?
there is no generic way - if there was, it would be done automatically.
look at the install.xml and apply the changes to the template files to your template files where appropiate.
Hi. Wanted to know in which folder should I add the custom images, so that they will be available as message icons
for default theme
Themes/default/images/post
and you have to add them to the specific board in the Smileys & Message Icons admin tab.
please helpme the mod install ok configure but the filer menu dont show in board, i add my custom icons
that looks like a custom template... does it overwrite the Message.template.php?
mm not i have the default template, but dont show the icon filter menu
are you sure you have the default template? that screenshot looks like a custom one...
and did the mod install without errors?
yes the mod install without error , configure in icons to show in board but nothing appear :( is a very good mod
link to your forum?
thanks
in this board i have activate the mod
http://www.mercado-negro.org/smf/musica-b70.0/
greetings
...did you set up custom icons for those boards? the mod won't use the global ones.
oh i see, thanks was my error. now work
http://www.mercado-negro.org/smf/musica-b70.0/
:) only i have smf4seo and when clic in icon filter redirect to same page dont show the post of icon
Valodim,
I just want to add a little thing: when I install in a custom theme, I have to upload the custom icons to the default "post" directory because it doesn't work if I put them in the custom theme "post" directory (a message appears saying they don't exist).
I just think you should try to see if this happens to you... because it can be a problem of the custom theme itself ;)
I'll see about both those problems...
Hi! this mod is great, thanks. But i need a filter for all message icons (available in all forums), can you include a feature for select the icons that you want in the filter?
sorry, lacking motivation :P
one of the best mod I have seen.
now I understand I was not seeing anything the answer is in edit message icons the icons should not be available for all boards they should be there only for selected boards. nice.
I want this mod to filter icons which are also available in all boards.
how to remove the space between each icon.
Valodim,
Just to leave a small note in case you decide to update this MOD: the pagination needs to be fixed. When applying a filter, the number of pages on the topiclist remain the same, but the last ones get empty and that increases depending on how much "filtering" has been done.

might fix it, but that is always one additional query. hum.
I will upgrade this when I change my forum to 2.0
Is this topic Dead? If not please fix for 1.1.9

This works absolutely marvellous for 1.1.9.
I must say I would like this to be available later in SMF 2.0. If you look at my forum, you'll see that it is widely used and with good results... for example, by propagating filters links in forum's homepage, users can choose directly the filter they want without having to click through the section.

Doesn't for me.
Can someone upgrade this mod for 2.0 RC2?
Can someone upgrade this mod for 2.0 RC2?
Can someone upgrade this mod for 2.0 RC2 or RC3?
bump!
Can someone upgrade this mod for RC3?
Yeah, i hope this mod will be updated for 2.0 rc 2 and rc3. It's not easy to edit this mod to make it work for rc2, i tried.
This is one of the best mods around.. not just pretty, it's VERY useful..
I hope someone will update it to work on RC5.. :-[
Interesting concept, would be good to see a smf 2.0 version.
This is one simple yet beautiful & very useful mod, if only the creator make a premium version and sell it $5-10 for this mod (imagine 10000 download = $50.000-$100.000 for himself)i bet he'll be more enthusiastic in always updating this mod. I dont mind paying for nice mod like this.
Honestly, I doubt he would be; so many people here complain when a mod is even $5.
Mind you, he's MIA :(
Who cares if other people are complaining? this mod's great, he shouldve had 2 versions of this mod.. free & paid version if he had a good business sense. What's an MIA btw ?
