Icons on describtion of a board

[nightyyx]

I wrote a text using emotions shortcuts like :lol :: as describtion to some child boards of my forum but dint took them. Shows em as i wrote em (text) for example :lol:.

So you cannot use emoticons i suppose on your describtion of boards?

on your boardIndex.template.php find this:

Code Select Expand

<td class="windowbg2">
<b><a href="', $board['href'], '" name="b', $board['id'], '">', $board['name'], '</a></b><br />
', $board['description'];



and replace it with this:

Code Select Expand

<td class="windowbg2">
<b><a href="', $board['href'], '" name="b', $board['id'], '">', $board['name'], '</a></b><br />
', parse_bbc($board['description']);

I couldn't find it.
The only similar that i found was
this one

Code Select Expand


echo '
<tr class="windowbg2">
<td class="icon windowbg"', !empty($board['children']) ? ' rowspan="2"' : '', '>
<a href="', ($board['is_redirect'] || $context['user']['is_guest'] ? $board['href'] : $scripturl . '?action=unread;board=' . $board['id'] . '.0;children'), '">';

are you sure this is right?

i uploaded also my indextemplate php

[Kill Em All]

nightyyx, do you still require assistance with this topic?

[nightyyx]

we never solved it but anyway i dont need its much now anyway

[Kill Em All]

Ok then. I'll mark this solved.

edit: i believe HTML would work too.

[mirahalo]

I honestly don't know why it didn't work, I tested the the code I gave him before I posted.

[Kill Em All]

Strange, maybe a theme thing? What was the code?

[mirahalo]

its a few post above:   http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=396990.msg2755061#msg2755061

[Kill Em All]

Strange, I don't even have that code in my Boardindex.template.php.

[mirahalo]

on 1.1.11 is around line 135




for 2.0 is around line 152:

[Kill Em All]

Ah, I found it. And I tried the code, it works just fine for me too.

[mirahalo]

I thought he had a custom theme with its own boardindex.template, or maybe a cache problem, otherwise I can't figure it out why it didn't work for him.
