How to change or add a new Message icon

[Floyds]

Can some please tell me if this is already possible in the 1.0 beta 5 version.
Or do we need to use this

"quote"

Right now, the easiest way to add message icons is this:

Sources/Post.php, find:
   $context['icons'] = array(

Add after:
      array('value' => 'image without .gif extension', 'name' => 'A Really Cool Message Icon!'),

Grudge's package server has a mod for this...

you can download the mod by goin into the Admin Center-> Package Manager-> [ Download New Packages ] -> and browse Grudge's Package Server.... it's in there... and works with Beta 5... Im using it at the mo!

[Floyds]

mm strange I can't get to his server within my admin center... ?!

[Cypher7]

or maybe not so strange... you're not the first person to say that!?

I can access it just fine?

[Floyds]

mm is there any workaround for it..?

[Grudge]

Not sure why this is happening... lots of complaints about this but server is always up...

Anyway - work around:

Just download and then upload to your packages directory. Always chmod files that are to change to 777

None of the packages work for me.  I get an error on every single one!

What type of error?

[Ride]

It usually can't find something in one of the files.  I've chmoded everything 777 too.  I have beta 5

[Floyds]

great, i'll have a go at this mod... thx...

I can't install any mods ? any one know what i'm doing wrong here.

I've uploaded the files and even uploaded the hole directory to package dir and I still can't install the mod....

Floyds, have you read this:

http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=8417.0

Basically, when you click "download" on my server it should save the package into your "Packages" folder. (Assuming Packages is chmod correctly). Once it is in that folder it should appear in the package manager browser. If you then click on it, you may or may not get a table at the bottom of the page asking for ftp details. If you *do* get such a table, then you haven't chmod everything correctly. Either input your details or manually chmod all the files it alters (and installed.list in the Packages folder) to 777 then try again.

With this small script replacement in the post.php you can just put the icons you want in a folder on the server.  (My idea! )

I can't get to your server, and I don't know why...
and here the url that I get when i click browse "Grudge's Package Server"

Download it and stick it in your Packages directory on your server. I'm guessing you're in safe mode which may cause the problem.

[Oldiesmann]

Chances are your host has Safe Mode on and Grudge hasn't configured his package server to work with safe mode yet. When you've got Safe Mode on and try to browse a package server, it redirects you to [urlofserver]?package-list which in this case will give you a 404 error...
