Sigs

That requires a hack and there are no hacks released yet for VB3

 

I will look into it but that may require a hack.

/me goes to look

 

I have changed mine

 

have posted a msg to him, refresh that thread.

 

How to remove annoying sigs:

1) Add two new Profile Fields:

Code:

Title					Description									Default		Max Len		Display Size	Reg. Expression		Display Page
Maximum lines for signatures		Set maximum line for each user signature on this forum, numeric only!				4		4		^[0-9]$			Options: Other
Maximum characters for signatures	Set maximum characters for each user signature on this forum, numeric only!			4		4		^[0-9]$			Options: Other

2) Now time to add the actual code, this is a bit trickier as it takes some modifications in a vB file. First of all, open "includes/functions_showthread.php"

3) Find the following code, it is on line 489 -> 506 in an unedited copy of this file:

Code:

		// get signature
		if ($post['showsignature'] AND $vboptions['allowsignatures'] AND trim($post['signature']) != '' AND (!$bbuserinfo['userid'] OR $bbuserinfo['showsignatures']) AND $sigperms[$post['userid']])
		{
			if (!isset($sigcache["$post[userid]"]))
			{
				$parsed_postcache['skip'] = true;
				$post['signature'] = parse_bbcode($post['signature'], 'nonforum', $vboptions['allowsmilies']);
				$sigcache["$post[userid]"] = $post['signature'];
			}
			else
			{
				$post['signature'] = $sigcache["$post[userid]"];
			}
		}
		else
		{
			$post['signature'] = '';
		}

Now delete the lot of it, and replace it with:

Code:

        $maxsigmod_maxlines_field = 'field6';
        $maxsigmod_maxchars_field = 'field7';

		// get signature
		if ($post['showsignature'] AND $vboptions['allowsignatures'] AND trim($post['signature']) != '' AND (!$bbuserinfo['userid'] OR $bbuserinfo['showsignatures']) AND $sigperms[$post['userid']])
		{
			if (!isset($sigcache["$post[userid]"]))
			{
				$parsed_postcache['skip'] = true;

                if (isset($bbuserinfo[$maxsigmod_maxlines_field]))
                {
                    if ($bbuserinfo[$maxsigmod_maxlines_field] != '')
                    {
                        $num_lines = (int) $bbuserinfo[$maxsigmod_maxlines_field];
                        $multiline_sig = explode("\n", $post['signature']);
                
                        if (count($multiline_sig) > $num_lines)
                        {
                            // ok this sig is too big, we will cut it down to size.
                            $post['signature'] = implode("\n", array_slice($multiline_sig, 0, $num_lines));
                        } // if
                    } // if
                } // if
    
                if (isset($bbuserinfo[$maxsigmod_maxchars_field]))
                {
                    if ($bbuserinfo[$maxsigmod_maxchars_field] != '')
                    {
                        $num_chars = (int) $bbuserinfo[$maxsigmod_maxchars_field];
                
                        if (strlen($post['signature']) > $num_chars)
                        {
                            // ok this sig is too big, we will cut it down to size.
                            $post['signature'] = substr($post['signature'], 0, $num_chars) . '...';
                        } // if
                    } // if
                } // if

				$post['signature'] = parse_bbcode($post['signature'], 'nonforum', $vboptions['allowsmilies']);
				$sigcache["$post[userid]"] = $post['signature'];
			}
			else
			{
				$post['signature'] = $sigcache["$post[userid]"];
			}
		}
		else
		{
			$post['signature'] = '';
		}

The first two lines need to be changed to reflect what vBulletin names the two new fields you create.

$maxsigmod_maxlines_field is the max lines field, and
$maxsigmod_maxchars_field is the max characters field.

I have used code instead of php colouring as PHP colouring looks really bad on a green background.

 

Yeh I did this for VB2 but no hacks are around (obv you know where to look) for VB3 until RC1 is out.

 

I wrote it for my clan's forum

 

Ok,

I have added this hack, goto your User CP and enable it.

Only the lines limit is active at the moment.

Gratis to SheepCow.

 

Hmm dunno if its working actually.

 

Thats easy enough to fix, no BB code in sigs

 

More code hacks, oh Sheepcow you there??????

 

/me runs

 

I'll see what I can come up with tommorrow, it's a bit late to start something now as I'll probably delete something important
