Sprite() function in Vanilla 2.0.18.8

fraxture

I am trying to adapt the me module from Vanilla 2.1b2 to Vanilla 2.0.18.8. The me.php file has a function in it that seems not to exist in my version: Sprite(). Is this an added core function? I'm a newbie to Vanilla, so I don't know what's core and what's not. IS there some sort of codex somewhere?

peregrine

check out the wiki functions should be mapped there

or you can do it yourself

in your version of vanilla

grep Sprite *

or get notepad++

x00

check library/functions.* files. Vanilla has very few standalone functions, as in most OO. Functions like this are convenience functions that don't fit anywhere else. Common operations that are otherwise tedious.

you would expect this to be in functions.render.php

if you what to predefine a function you can use function_exists e.g.

if (!function_exists('Sprite')) {
    function Sprite($Name, $Type = 'Sprite') {
        return '<span class="'.$Type.' '.$Name.'"></span>';
    }
}

This might be in there becuase it can be overridden easily.
