Removing all similies

I am wondering if there was a way to hide ALL emoticons. It seems that removing all emoticons via the Admin panel, and then trying to load up the the posting interface causes a null ref exception. I need to shut them all off everywhere. Is it possible? Thanks! :)

Hi Jim,
You can do so by slightly modifying the template:

1) the smiley table on the left of editor

open ~/App_Templates/Theme_Name/UC/PostingInterface.ascx
look for a td tag with id="smileyPane"
in the style attribute, add

display:none;

so that the whole line looks like:

<td style="width: 100px; display:none" valign="top" id="smileyPane">

2) editor smiley button:

in ~/NewEditor/xxconfig.xml (4 files)
find the following value in the xml files under <!-- Advanced theme -->

emotions,spellchecker|...

Remove the "emotions,"
so that it reads

spellchecker|...

 
With the 2 steps above, the smiley interface will be hidden completely from the posting interface.

I had #1 in place but I don't think I would have found #2 for a long time. Thanks! Works great :)

the fix for this issue is available in the trial package. You can download it again and extract only
~/bin/ASPPGCustomControls.* (3 files)
from the package and upload them to your forum's bin directory on your server. The problem is with the pager control we have for paging the table.
