#192638 - 07/24/07 05:31 AM [Fixed 7.3][7.2.1] Smilie shortcode should allow a dot at the end

The smilie shortcode doesn't work when it isn't a word. That is quite OK, but very annoying when a smilie is at the end of a sentence. I noticed a lot of people on my board ends their sentence with a smilie. This results in the smilie not being converted. I am aware this isn't a real bug, but it's an annoince I've got multiple complaints about. So can you change that a dot at the end of a smilie shortcode, still will be converted to the icon?
E.g. This should be changed :). -> This should be changed \:\) .

Yeh, i think this is more of an inconvieniance than a bug... It works this way as to not convert words into smilies, some logic to see if there is a period after the smilie would be nifty though

Added this to 7.3 anyway, it's a really simple fix and we did make sure that worked for ubbcodes anyway.

Minor revisions (7.0.1, 7.0.2, 7.1.1, etc) are for bugs and security updates; and usualy don't contain new features.

Major revisions (7.0, 7.1, 7.2, 7.3) are generally to introduce large changes in the code, such as new features (such as the gallery in 7.2).

Any way you can squeeze this one in, in 7.2.2 that appears in a couple of days ;\) .

Or is it already :).

-Edit, nope

7.2.2 is already pushed out the door for testing (as it's running here) so it's locked

Bummer. Does anyone of you has the code for this fix? So I can "loan" it in the meantime ;\) .

Also, I was thinking about an extra feature by giving multiple shortcodes for one icon. This to be more friendly to IM users that use the quick-reply box all the time. With this I mean that

\:p should be possibly by doing : P and : p or even :-p ;p or 8-p

Likely you could modify the bbcode and make them if you really want them...

What do you mean by that? Where do I modify the bbcode?

In my opninion it would be nice that shortcodes could be seperated by some kind of seperator (duh) and that that could be entered via the CP. I think the ? sign would be a good sepator. So in my example I would enter the following shortcode for the \:p
:p?;p?8p?:-p?8-p
