Removing/Disabling Smilies

[evildoer]

How would I go about permanently removing the smilies feature from my bulletin board?

It's proving to be quite difficult. Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks!

in Subs.php,
comment out/delete these lines:

Code Select Expand

   /*
      // Instead we use:
      $smiliesfrom = array('::)', '>:(', '>:D', ':)', ';)', ':D', ';D', ':(', ':o', '8)', ':P', '???', ':-[', ':-X', ':-*', ":'(",':-\\','^-^','O0');

      $smiliesto = array('rolleyes', 'angry', "evil", "smiley", "wink", 'cheesy', 'grin', 'sad', 'shocked', 'cool', 'tongue', 'huh', 'embarassed', 'lipsrsealed', 'kiss', 'cry', 'undecided', 'azn', 'afro'); // You'll get the idea

      // This smiley regex makes sure it doesn't parse smilies within code tags (so [url=mailto:[email protected]] doesn't parse the :D smiley)
      for ($i = 0; $i < count($smiliesfrom); $i++)
      {
         $smileyfromcache[] = '/(((>[^<]*)|(^[^<]*))([\s\n\r]|^|<br( \/)?[>]))(' . str_replace('|', '\|', quotemeta(str_replace('<', '<', str_replace('>', '>', str_replace('/', '\/', $smiliesfrom[$i]))))) . ')/s';

      }
   }

   if ($enableSmilies)
      $message = parsesmilies($message);
   */

and comment out/delete the whole function parsesmilies:

Code Select Expand

/*
function parsesmilies($message)
{
   global $smileyfromcache, $smileytocache;

   $oldmessage = '';
   while ($oldmessage != $message)
   {
      $oldmessage = $message;
      $message = preg_replace($smileyfromcache, $smileytocache, $message);
   }
   return $message;
} */

You would also need to removed them from Subs.php, like a dosmilies function or parsesmilies.

yea, forgot about those, maybe i should make this a mod

[evildoer]

That was exactly what I needed. Thanks a bunch!

Isn't there a field on each message saying if smilies are enabled? You could just disable that automatically.
