[2.0RC5]How to disable message icons from the posting and make the topic index..

[helike13]

Nobody?

Still no one?

You need to edit 2 files MessageIndex.template.php & Post.template.php - first file edits removes the column and the second file edits removes the message icon selector from the post input box area - I know this works as I do it on custom themes like this 1 http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=440573.0


In MessageIndex.template.php

find

Code Select Expand

<th scope="col" class="first_th" width="8%" colspan="2">&nbsp;</th>

replace with

Code Select Expand

<th scope="col" class="first_th" width="5%" >&nbsp;</th>

then

find

Code Select Expand


  <td class="icon2 ', $color_class, '">
    <img src="', $topic['first_post']['icon_url'], '" alt="" />
  </td>


delete that


Then open Post.template.php

find
                  

Code Select Expand

// Now show the subject box for this post.
echo '
<dt>
<span', isset($context['post_error']['no_subject']) ? ' class="error"' : '', ' id="caption_subject">', $txt['subject'], ':</span>
</dt>
<dd>
<input type="text" name="subject"', $context['subject'] == '' ? '' : ' value="' . $context['subject'] . '"', ' tabindex="', $context['tabindex']++, '" size="80" maxlength="80" class="input_text" />
</dd>
<dt class="clear_left">
', $txt['message_icon'], ':
</dt>
<dd>
<select name="icon" id="icon" onchange="showimage()">';

replace with

Code Select Expand

// Now show the subject box for this post.
echo '
<dt>
<span', isset($context['post_error']['no_subject']) ? ' class="error"' : '', ' id="caption_subject">', $txt['subject'], ':</span>
</dt>
<dd>
<input type="text" name="subject"', $context['subject'] == '' ? '' : ' value="' . $context['subject'] . '"', ' tabindex="', $context['tabindex']++, '" size="80" maxlength="80" class="input_text" />
</dd>
<dt class="clear_left" style="display:none">
', $txt['message_icon'], ':
</dt>
<dd style="display:none">
<select name="icon" id="icon" onchange="showimage()">';

[MrGrumpy]

you're welcome

[Nickhead]

could you tell me what the edit would look like were the topics/hot topics icons and column to disappear?

wanting to keep the message icons/column

1.1.14

[MrGrumpy]

Sorry I don't use the 1.1.x branch of SMF and wouldn't be able to test anything to see what the edit's would be.

Try starting a new topic and see if anyone else can help you with it, link to this post if you want an example of what you what to do to save you having to explain it all.

Nice tip MrGrumpy.

[Skylined]

I've tried this in 2.0.2 and it has worked like a charm, but you could still see the icon in the topic.


Just delete the following from Display.template.php.

Code Select Expand


<div class="messageicon">
<img src="', $message['icon_url'] . '" alt=""', $message['can_modify'] ? ' id="msg_icon_' . $message['id'] . '"' : '', ' />
</div>
