When I remove the section below from Post.template.php the selection will be gone but all new posts made through Post.template.php will not be set with the standard icon, they show a broken image.
<tr>
<td align="right">
<b>' . $txt[71] . ':</b>
</td>
<td>
<select name="icon" onchange="showimage()">';
foreach ($context['icons'] as $icon)
echo '
<option value="', $icon['value'], '"', $icon['value'] == $context['icon'] ? ' selected="selected"' : '', '>', $icon['name'], '</option>';
echo '
</select>
<img src="' . $settings['images_url'] . '/post/' . $context['icon'] . '.gif" name="icons" border="0" hspace="15" alt="" />
</td>
</tr>
How do I need to alter the file so the icon selection will be gone, but the standard icon will still be assigned when posting?
As I've said before, you cannot just remove that section, you have to add on the same page somewhere:
<input type="hidden" name="icon" value="xx" />
