Not sure what you have tried - did you try to disable the smilies via admin page under "General Settings" - > General Option -> Smilies -> Disable Smilies - Click that radio button.....

Have you done that?

Yes. I did it.

I chequed:

• disable HTML Codes
• disable Smilies
• disable AGCodes ....... and saved changes.

But when I try to Sign, in the Message field, the smilies (emoticons) they still appear.

Okay - so it is the "link" to the smilies pop-up page that you want removed?

The easiest way to keep people from clicking on that link is to go into your language files lang/english.php (or the language you are using)
scroll down on the page to and save it as

That is the quickest way to remove the link without messing with the templates....

If you are talking about pre-existing smilies (already saved in the database) you will need to go into your database to modify the entries that have the smilies coded into the current messages.

Ok..... i will try it tomorrow.

This link is a screenshot of what im talking about. Maybe this way you can understand me.

Link: Look the arrow

I just want: the title "Your Message" and the blank field where people can type.

Ooooh, I didn't realize that was an automatic feature - I use 2.2 and that's not part of the installation. Sorry for the confusion - Okay - up to speed here - you need to go into templates/form.php

(I would recommend saving the original in a file someplace just in case)
Then edit the one you want to use with your guestbook

Cut/remove

then cut/remove

ouuuuh yeah!!!!!

Thanks too much!

I removed the second part (table) of code you told me. Not the first (script). All is fine now!!

THANKS ET
(I hope you can go home jeje)

Yes as ET just pointed out, and as Amber has mentioned in previous threads, the emoticons on the add entry page are hard coded into the HTML for some bizarre reason. So even if you don't allow emoticons or just remove the codes for the ones on the page they are still displayed. Wonder if I could write a simple mod to go in 2.3.2 for this, can't be that hard.

OK I have fixed this in 2.3.2. Now the smilies you see on the addentry page are pulled from a template if smilies are turned on. This is only temporary as I am going to write a function whereby if you have smilies switched on it will display the first 12 smilies you actually have in your smilies list as the present method kind of sucks.
