I want to completely remove graemlins from our forums. Since the stock graemlins can't be deleted from the control panel, is it as easy as deleting the graemlins from the database? If not, I guess I'll be performing surgery on ubbt.inc.php.

As best as I can tell, these are the sections of code that I will be commenting out:

In do_markup():
Code
		// Convert the smileys<br />		// First grab all smileys out of the database<br />		$query = "<br />			SELECT G_Code,G_Smiley,G_Image<br />			FROM   {$config['tbprefix']}Graemlins<br />			ORDER BY G_Smiley<br />		";<br />		$sth = $dbh -> do_query($query,__LINE__,__FILE__);<br />		while (list($code,$smiley,$image) = $dbh -> fetch_array($sth)) {<br />			if ($smiley) {<br />				@eval("\$string = $code;");<br />				$string = preg_quote($string,'/');<br />				$smiley = preg_quote($smiley,'/');<br />				$Body = preg_replace("/(( |\n|^|\r\])$smiley|(\[|:)$string(\]|:))/","\\2<img src=\"{$config['images']}/graemlins/$image\" alt=\"\" />",$Body);<br />			}<br />			else {<br />				@eval("\$string = $code;");<br />				$string = preg_quote($string,'/');<br />				$Body = preg_replace("/(:|\[)$string(:|\])/i","<img src=\"{$config['images']}/graemlins/$image\" alt=\"\" />",$Body);<br />			}<br />		}


In undo_markup():
Code
		// Convert the smileys<br />		// First grab all smileys out of the database<br />		$query = "<br />			SELECT G_Code,G_Smiley,G_Image<br />			FROM   {$config['tbprefix']}Graemlins<br />			ORDER BY G_Smiley<br />		";<br />		$sth = $dbh -> do_query($query,__LINE__,__FILE__);<br />		while (list($code,$smiley,$image) = $dbh -> fetch_array($sth)) {<br />			@eval("\$string = $code;");<br />			if ($smiley) {<br />				$string = $smiley;<br />			} else {<br />				$string = ":$string:";<br />			}<br />			$Body = str_replace("<img src=\"{$config['images']}/graemlins/$image\" alt=\"\" />","$string",$Body);<br />		}


In instant_ubbcode():
Code
		// We need to grab all of the graemlins out of the db<br />		$query = "<br />			SELECT G_Code,G_Smiley,G_Image<br />			FROM {$config['tbprefix']}Graemlins<br />			WHERE G_Active='1'<br />		";<br />		$sth = $dbh -> do_query($query,__LINE__,__FILE__);<br />		$i=0;<br />		$graemlinlist="";<br />		$altcode = "";<br />		while (list($code,$smiley,$image) = $dbh -> fetch_array($sth)) {<br />			if (stristr("$code","$")) {<br />				@eval("\$code = $code;");<br />			}<br />			$code = ":$code:";<br />			$altcode = "$code";<br />			if ($smiley) {<br />				$code = $smiley;<br />				$altcode .= "     $smiley";<br />			}<br />			$graemlinlist .= <<<EOF<br />				<a href="javascript:void(0)" onclick="insertAtCaret(document.replier.Body, ' $code'); document.replier.Body.focus();"><img src="{$config['images']}/graemlins/$image" border="0" alt="$altcode" title="$altcode" /></a>  &nbsp;<br />EOF;<br />			$i++;<br />			if ($i==6) {<br />				$i=0;<br />				$graemlinlist .= "<br />";<br />			}<br />		}


I assume that this is not really necessary, but there's no reason to have the board do a query for graemlins when it's never going to find any.

In ubbt_instant_ubbcode.tmpl:
Code
function DoSmilie(addSmilie) {<br />	var revisedMessage;<br />	var currentMessage = document.replier.Body.value;<br />	revisedMessage = currentMessage+addSmilie;<br />	document.replier.Body.value=revisedMessage;<br />	document.replier.Body.focus();<br />	return;<br />}<br /><br />...<br /><br /><td class="tdheader"><br /><b>{$ubbt_lang['INST_GRAEMLIN']}</b><br /></td><br /><br />...<br /><br /><td valign="top" align="left" nowrap="nowrap"><br />$graemlinlist<br /><br />&nbsp;<br /></td>


Thoughts? Am I overlooking something?

at the risk of replying 5 days later "doh"

why is it such a big deal to keep the stock graemlins? Why cant they be deleted by forum owners?
