How to remove message icons?

[Alecs]

Hi, i just installed SMF 2 RC3 on localhost and i'm worndering if is there any way to remove the message icons.

I couldn't find any solution to this on the forum. I've tried to replace the icons images for an 1x1px image but it looks bad.

Admin>Smileys and Message Icons>Settings>Enable customized message icons>tick that>save
then...
you should see a new tab there that says Edit Message Icons. You then have them all there and can delete and add new ones.

I'm not talking about replace the message icons. I want to remove them, i don't want the second box where it shows the icon.

Can you make a screenshot of the page where you want to remove the message icons? It's not clear which icons you are asking about.

Well each topic is going to be assigned a message icon... why not just delete all of them and just keep the one you want. Its going to need a message icon...

But I'd like to remove the message icon completely, I just don't want them.

In your Messageindex.template.php, find this line of code and remove it:

Code Select Expand


<img src="', $topic['first_post']['icon_url'], '" alt="" />


Then in your Post.template.php, find this line of code and remove it:

Code Select Expand


<dt>
', $txt['message_icon'], ':
</dt>
<dd>
<select name="icon" id="icon" onchange="showimage()">';

// Loop through each message icon allowed, adding it to the drop down list.
foreach ($context['icons'] as $icon)
echo '
<option value="', $icon['value'], '"', $icon['value'] == $context['icon'] ? ' selected="selected"' : '', '>', $icon['name'], '</option>';

echo '
</select>
<img src="', $context['icon_url'], '" name="icons" hspace="15" alt="" />
</dd>


That will hide all the message icons. There is no way to disable them, but this is the next best thing, hiding them...
