MarkG: Can you change the order in which smilies are substituted?

[Gramphos]

I think that the smilies without an ending : should be substituted last so that one use () without resulting in () (Without HTML)

[MarkG]

uses spaces....

boy this was worth making a thread over



Hey mark, I uh have this problem with the regular smily...he's uh...too yellow.....could you do something about it please?

[Gramphos]

But there must be a setting in what order they are processed.
There must be some thing like this in the processing:
Repeat for each smile: Replace smilie code with Image
As it is now the non terminated smilies must be first in that list., and the replacement will be for a string like this:
[COLOR="{qcolor}"](Text :rolleyes:);) :rolleyes:[/COLOR]
will first change to
[COLOR="{qcolor}"](Text :rolleyes;) :rolleyes:[/COLOR]
then to
[COLOR="{qcolor}"](Text :rolleyes :rolleyes:[/COLOR]
after that to
[COLOR="{qcolor}"](Text :rolleyes [/COLOR]
and then no more.

With a changed order it would first be
[COLOR="{qcolor}"](Text );) [/COLOR]
and after that
[COLOR="{qcolor}"](Text ) [/COLOR]
as the string was meant to be.

This should also allowed the
:pban: and the :&#41: codes to work correct.

Let's see...MarkG fixes one user's pet peeve every day. Thirty years from now, he'd almost be done.

I think it is the order they were added that is the order they are replaced, so if added the short one first you should be able to reverse the loop (start with the last in the list).
Otherwise you could delete the short and add them again every time you add a new smile.

What ever happened to racial equality? Or gender equality? No black smileys, no female smilies. Not even any handicap smilies.
