[Wormopolis]

Browser Tested: IE and FF
placement: Global footer, or board footer for tighter control

This code will let you control who can use which icons in the posting form, as well as changing the name displayed in the drop down.

additional variables included if you want topic icons shut off on certain boards for everyone except a list of users.

code:


<script type="text/javascript">
<!--

// keep header intact

/*   This is the list of topic icon names:
Standard
Thumbs Up
Thumbs Down
Exclamation Point
Question Mark
Lamp
Smiley
Angry
Cheesy
Laugh
Sad

*/

var ControlArray = [
['Thumbs Up','admin|danger|user3|user4','Done'],
['Thumbs Down','admin|danger|user3|user4','Denied'],
['Exclamation Point','admin|danger|user3|user4','In Progress'],
['Wink','ALL','Flirt'],
['Cheesy','admin|user2|user3']
];  //[topic icon name from list, users allowed to use seperated by | (use ALL for everyone), optional new name]

//  this is a list of boards:
       var specialBoards="codereq|graphreq|codeother";
//  that only these users:
       var specialUsers="admin|user2|danger";
//  can access the topic icons at all



if (document.postForm && document.postForm.icon) {
 for (a=0; a<document.postForm.icon.options.length; a++) {
   if (location.href.match(new RegExp('board=('+specialBoards+')','')) && !pb_username.match(new RegExp('('+specialUsers+')'))) document.postForm.icon.parentNode.parentNode.style.display='none';
   for (b=0; b<ControlArray.length; b++ ) {
     if (document.postForm.icon.options[a].innerHTML.match(ControlArray[b][0])) {
       if (ControlArray[b][1]!='ALL' && !pb_username.match(new RegExp('('+ControlArray[b][1]+')',''))) {
         document.postForm.icon.remove(a);
         --a;  break;
       } else {
          if (ControlArray[b][2]) {
            document.postForm.icon.options[a].innerHTML=ControlArray[b][2];
          }
