Preventing Emoticons From Being Used In Given Category/Board

[YogiBear]

Is there any way I can prevent emoticons/smileys from being used in a given Category or Board? I'm using 1.1.6

Many thanks for any help.

Not currently but would make a good modification request.

Not that difficult actually...

Sources/Subs.php

Find

Code (Line 959) Select Expand

global $txt, $scripturl, $context, $modSettings, $user_info;

Add after that

Code Select Expand

global $board;

Find

Code (Line 966) Select Expand

elseif ($smileys !== null && ($smileys == '1' || $smileys == '0'))

Add before that

Code Select Expand

elseif (!empty($board) && $board == x)

Replace x with the board ID.

If you want to do it for all boards in a single category, do the following instead of the last step above:

Find

Code Select Expand

if (empty($modSettings['enableBBC']) && $message !== false)

Add before that

Code Select Expand

// Find out what category this board is in
$query = db_query("SELECT ID_CAT FROM {$db_prefix}boards WHERE ID_BOARD = '$board'", __FILE__, __LINE__);
$cat = mysql_result($query, 0);
mysql_free_result($query);

if ($cat == x)
$smileys = false;

Replace x with the category ID.

Thankyou, Oldiesmann.

I agree, vbgamer45, it would be useful as a mod so it could simply be switched on or off.
