Question In Backup Emoticons in posts are not displayed

Can the issue from " www.kunena.org/forum/k-6-10-support/1681...ot-displayed?start=0 " be considered closed because the problem cannot be solved?

I have not marked the topic as solved because it is still open on Github.

I can imagine that opinions differ quite a bit as to whether emoticons should be displayed as an image or as code when writing a post.
Is there a possibility to insert a line in the configuration of Kunena or the Kunena template "Show emoticon" and offer "Image" or "Code" for selection?
Admins who create a backup only as security for the website could select "Image" and admins who create a backup for testing on a local test server could select "Code".
The solution that the emoticon is only called via the Joomla installation and not via the whole domain is probably not feasible or is there hope for a solution here?

Addendum:
After having worked with the emoticons again after a long time, I realized that the call in the backup no longer contains the subfolder.
The call in the backup is identical to the call in the Lifesite, but the emoticon is not displayed in the backup, only the [img .

I think we can all agree that code is the better way. The reason why the smilies are inserted as images is because we couldn't find any other way to use more smilies than were available by default in the CKeditor.
I doubt whether anything will be changed, as we are working on integrating the SCeditor as default and then it should work again with the codes.

I cannot imagine that this should be the reason.
In Joomla 3.10.10 and Kunena 5.2.9 with BlueEagle5 1.6.7 the CKEditor was used. At that time, the smilies that were available in /media/kunena/emoticons were also displayed in the CKEditor.
In a topic from 2020 and a post from 03.11.2020 an emoticon was displayed as code.
<img src="/BFB31010/media/kunena/emoticons/icon_unknownauthor_weissnich.gif" alt=":weissnicht:" title=":weissnicht:" class="bbcode_smiley" /> </div>

On 27.12.2020, an emoticon was displayed as a graphic (torn leaf with bent top right corner in square frame)
<div class="kmsgimage">
        <a href="/media/kunena/emoticons/icon_grill.gif" title="" data-fancybox="gallery">
        <img src="/media/kunena/emoticons/icon_grill.gif" style="max-height: 800px; max-width:auto " />

Between those two times I must have probably installed Kunena 5.2.0 and from then on something was changed from code to image.
Before 03.11.2020 all emoticons were displayed as code and after 27.12.2020 as graphics.

In principle, it also works now with the codes, but only if these codes are listed in ckeditor.js. If you select a different smilie, the source mode can no longer be selected and the post can no longer be saved correctly.
You can test it, but you have to remove the entry config.smiley_descriptions=""; from the ckeditor_config.
The smilies have always caused problems from the beginning (they still do, just like yours) and have cost us a lot of time.
And as already mentioned, I'm not sure if anything will be changed since we won't keep this editor.
