Is their anyway to turn off message icons?

[eric123]

What the title says...i dont want to display fmessage icons next to each thread, any ideas on how to do

[A.M.A]

If you mean in the message index .. then open MessageIndex.template.php look for and remove:

Koodi [Valitse] Laajenna

<img src="', $settings['images_url'], '/post/', $topic['first_post']['icon'], '.gif" alt="" />

[eric123]

i dont have a file called that

and this is what i dont want to show:

[Trekkie101]

Its called xx.gif if that helps in anyway.

[eric123]

Well I kind of want to eliminate the entire column of the table, or not allow users to be able to selectt the message icon, either one

The file he referenced is Themes/yourtheme/MessageIndex.template.php.  You may also want to remove it from Post.template.php, like so:

Find:

Koodi [Valitse] Laajenna

</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="right">
<b>', $txt[71], ':</b>
</td>
<td>
<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="', $settings['images_url'], '/post/', $context['icon'], '.gif" name="icons" border="0" hspace="15" alt="" />
</td>

Replace:

Koodi [Valitse] Laajenna

<input type="hidden" name="icon" value="xx" />
</td>

How do I modify files?

I don't have those fiiles though, i have settings.templates.php, index.templates.php, and index.php style.css, theme_info.xml, images folder and language folder and thats all

If you don't have them, copy them from the "default" folder (but I suggest you don't modify the default ones unless you know the consequences.)

thanks that wroked one last thing, is their any way to get rid of the column that is thier now with no message icons or no?

[[Unknown]]

You mean the column in the database?  I wouldn't suggest it, it would make third party add-ons, mods, and such very confused ,

[eric123]

I mean this right here:

I want to remove the column where the images used to be, would that mess somethign up?

[eric123]

any ideas?

[[Unknown]]

Oh, sorry, I hadn't looked at what A.M.A suggested.

Find, MessageIndex.template.php:

Koodi [Valitse] Laajenna

<td width="9%" colspan="2"></td>

Replace:

Koodi [Valitse] Laajenna

<td width="5%"></td>

Remove:

Koodi [Valitse] Laajenna

<td class="windowbg2" valign="middle" align="center" width="4%">
<img src="', $settings['images_url'], '/post/', $topic['first_post']['icon'], '.gif" alt="" />
</td>

Edit: I must have had the coding wrong at some point for it works now...

[guider]

Oops. Did that and see what happened:

See the broken image thing? How can I make sure that gets linked to the regular Post Icon like in the first post?

[[Unknown]]

Are you sure you followed my instructions exactly?  That should have left you with an "xx" (standard) icon.

[guider]

Yeah, or I'm going crazy...

Actually, the changes to Post.template.php are more important.  See the part where it says "xx"?  Are you sure that's there?

-[Unknown]

[guider]

Think I trashed it.. could you fill me in on the missing gap?

I'm afraid that looks like it hasn't seen any of this topic's changes at all.
