DESCRIPTION
Text::Emoticon::Yahoo is a text filter that replaces text emoticons like ":)", ";P", etc. to the icons of Yahoo! Messenger, detailed in http://messenger.yahoo.com/emoticons.php
METHODS
- new
-
$emoticon = Text::Emoticon::Yahoo->new( imgbase => "http://yourhost.example.com/images/emoticons", xhtml => 1, class => "emoticon", );
Constructs new Text::Emoticon::Yahoo object. It accepts two options:
- imgbase
-
Base URL where icon gif files are located. It defaults to "http://us.i1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/emoticons6/" (the Yahoo site), but I don't recommend that, as there's a possibility Yahoo! will ban your site.
- xhtml
-
Whether it uses XHTML style img tags. It defaults to 1.
- class
-
CSS class used in
img
tags. It defaults to nothing.$emoticon = Text::Emoticon::Yahoo->new(class => "emo");
will print:
<img src="blah.gif" class="emo" />
- filter
-
$filtered_text = $emoticon->filter($text);
Filters emoticons in text and returns
img
tagged text (HTML).
TODO
Handling original emoticons. (Patches welcome)
Common API for other Emoticons (maybe Text::Emoticons)
