Signature Legend, new signature look (V2)

[Roms]

Signature Legend

By: Roms, AN-net, and Sledgstone
Easy, 1-5 mins

This will add a simple legend (border) and members username around each members signature. Organize and make signatures look personalized for each user, easily.

(this adds the border, curved corners, and "username's sig:" around the users signature.)

Note: If you want the signature forced to the bottom of each post (Postbit Legacy) please use the second version (V2). I have left the old Version (V1) if you only want the signature enhanced.... Please Note it may not work on heavily moded sites...



Please remember to click Mark as Installed if you use this modification. (See Mod Options >)
If you use it please click INSTALL. Thanks :banana:

thanks but how is this any different from the other hacks that do the same thing that have already been posted here?

[Roms]

thanks but how is this any different from the other hacks that do the same thing that have already been posted here?

Well if there are other hacks that do the same thing they shouldn't have been posted. AN-Net came up with this and I asked permission to port it (as you can see he made in 3.0 and myself in 3.5)

With that said it just adds a nice border and the says it's the users signature, if you don't like it I have a simple solution: Move on to the next post.

Nice little hack, thanks.
I was just wondering if you know how to get rid of the small line above the signature? I just think it uglies it up a bit.
thanks :)

Nice, this makes it look like its a sig, instead of nothing.

however what happens if a user does not have a sig? i think it will look a bit strange if it says users sig, with a box with nothing in it.

Thanks.

Um no you are incorrect, if the user has no sig it displays nothing. ;) (unless you added my hack incorrectly...) Perhaps you are viewing the pictures incorrectly, both are showing a users signature only the first picture is more simple..

That's why these tags are in the postbit:

<if condition="$post['signature']">
that means: (if no signature, display nothing...)


I hope that helps, please click install if you end up using it and thanks. :)

why the pissy attitude? I just asked a simple question. sorry if it bugged you. geesh. If it is the exact same code as used in 3.5.4 then why bother re-releasing it? just put a note in the 3.5.4 version that it works for 3.6.4, also. I know it isn't up to you, but I don't understand why vb.org doesn't have an overlapping system to include the minimum and maximum vb version that the hacks will support.

Very nice, installed :D

Like you said vBorg's system doesn't work the way it should so members don't realize that many modifications can sometimes be use in newer versions, so many coders and designers update thier hacks to new threads (but I'm sure you already know that..) :)

Great little mod here Roms. A perfect way to clean up the sig area in a post. Most of my members use image sigs, as opposed to text, and this is perfect for my forum. Thanks again. CLICKS INSTALL

What would i have to do to make this compatible with this (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=128951&highlight=signature+bottom) hack?

It calls for all this to be deleted...

I tried viewing your site but you have it so guests can't view... so I'm not sure what the problem may be. It mainly works with the postbit legacy and it will not work properly with some styles. This mod was mainly made for people using the default vB style/ legacy and then customizing their site from there.

If you don't have any customizations already in your postbit you could revert the 'postbit legacy' template and then modify it with my code and it should work.

Thanks :)

[Tulsa]

I am using the legacy format but like most I would assume, that template is one of the most modified.

[Tulsa]

Well it's working now.

I have that plugin template cache set up and had to delete all the cache files for the sig's to start showing.

Hi there...I've installed this, but I'm looking over the code...and would like to know....I had installed a different hack not too long ago that was very simple and changed everyone's sig to use small font. I really like this cause some of my members have a bit much of wording that I really don't mind so long as the code forces all their text in their sig to small font.

I'm no coder by ANY means...so I'm not really sure here....but I do see the change that was made in my previous postbits.

<if condition="$post['signature']">
<!-- sig -->
<div class="smallfont">
__________________<br />
$post[signature]
</div>
<!-- / sig -->
</if>

How can I edit your hack code to force the member's sigs to go into small font?

Thank you so much,
Gonzo

Try this:

<div class="smallfont" valign="bottom">
<fieldset><legend>$post[username]'s Sig:</legend>$post[signature]</fieldset>

<!-- / sig -->
</if>

Or this one:

<if condition="$post['signature']">
<!-- sig -->
<hr size="1" style="color:$stylevar[tborder_bgcolor]" />
<div valign="bottom">
<span style="font-size:small;">
<fieldset><legend>$post[username]'s Sig:</legend>$post[signature]</fieldset>
</span>
</div>
<!-- / sig -->
</if>

Please note I haven't tested the above codes....

Looks round to me. :)

Your syle is customized from the default, if you want things to look exactly the same you would need to revert some of your CSS and the postbit legacy template to the default syle.

Please edit your post and remove the code for the postbit, it's not good to post that much of it.. ;)

Is there a way I control the size the size of the "box" or use the max demensions to control it?

[Roms]

Is there a way I control the size the size of the "box" or use the max demensions to control it?

It's basically going to take up the amount of space inside the postbit and that the signature takes up.. I'm sure there are ways of doing it but I'm not going to take it that far...

Thanks

My support is limited to the default VB version. I can't give support for every style that changes the postbit. If you want this to work correctly revert your postbit and then add the changes. (I'm getting multiple errors on your site as it is... ;) )

Click install, thanks

I was skeptical at first but boy am I glad to have installed this hack.

Btw is there a way to control the thickness of the border, although it appears ok in IE, its really fat in FireFox (which is what a majority of the board members, including myself use).

Not that I know of, you can try adding variables for it in your CSS and see if it works... I haven't tried.

Nice template mod. I am not big into hacking up my forum, but never really liked how it was somewhat difficult at times to separate a sig from the rest of the post.

This looks nice!

[Roms]

Thanks and thanks for clicking install. :)

[Rakehel]

Roms, I've looked for an answer in this topic but haven't spotted it. I've installed the mod, but whenever I view it on a monitor that is less than 19" some of the signatures have an additional line running through some of the text that members have entered there. It's related to the fieldset tag. (?) Any ideas? (I hope this screenshot shows up OK.)

Thanks.

[Rakehel]

Would anyone else possibly have a suggestion?

[Roms]

It's the way the table is setup to force the signature at the bottom of the post. In some circumstances it will mess up the signature. You may want to try customizing the code or installing version 1.

Thanks :)

[Roms]

Thanks, but how can I get the curved corners?

The corners are rounded in IE and may not show up the same way in Firefox...

[AWJunkies]

I have a question why would you do all that extra coding to put it towards the bottom rather then default top? All you have to do is add valign="bottom" in the div section. Let me show you to put it at the bottom all you have to do is:

Here is normal code within postbit_legacy

<if condition="$post['signature']">
<!-- sig -->
<div>
__________________<br />
$post[signature]
</div>
<!-- / sig -->
</if>


All you have to do is within the <div> is do this:
<if condition="$post['signature']">
<!-- sig -->
<div valign="bottom">
__________________<br />
$post[signature]
</div>
<!-- / sig -->
</if>

So to do both mods bottom and your new sig border is:

Open postbit_legacy
Find:
<if condition="$post['signature']">
<!-- sig -->
<div>
__________________<br />
$post[signature]
</div>
<!-- / sig -->
</if>

Replace with:
<if condition="$post['signature']">
<!-- sig -->
<div valign="bottom">
<fieldset><legend>$post[username]'s Sig:</legend>$post[signature]</fieldset>
</div>
<!-- / sig -->
</if>

[turbo.:R]

so does it work in firefox?

Great mod *installed*

I've been fiddelin with this for a few hours now, and as a firefox user it doesnt look quite as nice as it does in IE. Though, i found a way to atleast get the upper left, and bottom right corner rounded in firefox.
Use this: <fieldset style="-moz-border-radius-topleft: 8px; -moz-border-radius-bottomright: 8px;"> instead of <fieldset>You can also use -moz-border-radius: 8px; to round all corners, but since there are two lines that meet in the upper right and bottom left corner, it isnt really rounded.

*edit*
Found a even better one to use: border:1px solid #D0D0BF;padding:8px;-moz-border-radius:5px

Enjoy! :D
