CMP,

In v0.9.0.11, you can deactivate the smilie renderer (so that it disappears completely as an option and never renders) by opening up the /plugins/renderers/_smilies.renderer.php file and changing:

var $apply_when = 'always';

to

var $apply_when = 'never';

(Should be pretty high up in the code, around line 25 or so).

Hope that helps!

It worked!

Thanks, stk

No problem. If you have any other questions or need help, don't hesitate to ask!

Cheers,

STK's solutions worked fine in previous version, but I now upgraded to Florida and cannot find the code lines that STK gave to me before.

Would you please let me know what should I do to prevent smiles to work, that its to unticked option as a default?

Thanks.

admin > app settings > plugins, click the lil edit icon on the far right for the smiley plugin

Change the Apply rendering option to "opt-in", hit save ;)

Well, I could do that:
admin > app settings > plugins, click the lil edit icon on the far right for the smiley plugin

But I couldn't manage myself for the second part:
Change the Apply rendering option to "opt-in", hit save

There's a column with an arrow that works like a toggle key changing selected items from 'Opt-out' to 'never'. I didn't figure out how to put 'opt-in' there in the Smiley row.

As a reults, in my admin area the Smiley bar bar disappeared and also the Smiley option.

You must be on the wrong screen then. You want to be on [url=http://demo.b2evolution.net/stable/blogs/admin.php?login=admin&pwd=demopass&ctrl=plugins&action=edit_settings&plugin_ID=5]this screen[/url] to edit the setting.
