Yes, poulet, good good :p

I am finding that when a user edits their post, their sig will show up even though they already have a post in the thread with teir signature viewable.

[FreshFroot]

great ideam i can really use this :D

Scratch that post kinda....

Once I refresh the page the signature goes away :)

[txspaderz]

Which posts does the signature show up in? I'm looking for a hack that will allow the sigs to show up in the last post of each thread, is that possible with this hack?

Thanks

[theFAILURE]

I have some threads that are over 50+ pages long, and some 200+ pages.

Hopefully this cuts some server load; some users have pretty long sigs :)

Nope, this hack allows only to show the sig of a user one time per thread page.

[FleaBag]

I've wanted this as a plugin for so long! Thanks a lot!

Unfortunately I see no change. Am I supposed to change a setting somewhere? Is that what the phrases are for? I can't work out what else they'd be for?

[VBDev]

The settinng is in the forum options :)

You can set it on a per forum basis.

[letsjoy]

Thanks alot for it :)

[letsjoy]

is only for member or works for guests too...for me its working for member only

[theFAILURE]

Works for guests on my board, check it out:

[VBDev]

For guest I don't really know as these could be different guests each time you know.

But as theFAILURE stated it seems to work :)

[teach1st]

Just what I needed and it works. Thanks!

The only thing I would add is an option to apply this to all forums globally instead of just forum-by-forum.

[VBDev]

Yep that's a nice idea.

I have not planned to update this hack right now but I'll do it soon.

[Ranger187]

Maybe this is redundant, but I have a main area with sub-forums, if I set the main area to allow only one sig, the subs still have it disabled. I have to turn this on in every area. Is there a way to turn it on for the whole hieracrchy, or just take a drink, and enable on every area? ;)

[Ranger187]

Ok, hack doesn't fully work. Same page, I see my sig 4 times out of 9 posts. But if I refresh the page, then it works. This is odd...

[pcoskat]

How does this new hack differ from the one posted here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=139689

It IS strange. Isn't it, my friend?

[Ranger187]

Haha! Sup Sal.

[VBDev]

How does this new hack differ from the one posted here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=139689

This differ from the fact that with my hack the sign of the users can appear on every page but only on their first post in the page if they have more than one post in the current page.

Nope I might not have think to that, we'll check that out in next release !

This is due to ajax I think as page is not refreshed when sending a new message through ajax. I haven't found yet the way to pass that :(

[Ranger187]

This has really cut down the monthly bandwidth on my forums. WEWT.

[nnjj.net]

is this working on 3.6.8?

[AzaDiyaR]

thanks man this working fine for me :P

nice work

[nnjj.net]

I couldn't find the option!

[VBDev]

The option is the options of each of your forum :)

[import-houston]

thanks for this

[kjhkjh]

great hack, but I want to enable it on each of hundreds of forums... is the only way with this to do it one by one? Would take a long time.... :(

[Chy]

Thanks! Installed!

[SHOBizzy]

is this working on 3.6.8?

Like a charm. :up:

[forumrunt]

Also can this be set per usergroup?

[katie hunter]

Hey thanks for the mod but i can't find the option no when i go to each forum as well in the enable/disable feature, i can't find this hack there, i installed the xml file and i run vb 3.6.7

Did i miss something else?

best regard

Nvm! i think i found it =3
thanks

[myown]

how to do it by SQL quries so that all forums can be changed at once... and how to make it enable default for new forums ?

thanks in advance.

[Odoin]

great hack, but I want to enable it on each of hundreds of forums... is the only way with this to do it one by one? Would take a long time.... :(

This is an easy fix. Open up the plugin with a text editor and do the following:

Search for: $vbulletin->db->query_write("ALTER TABLE " . TABLE_PREFIX . "forum ADD `afsuotpt` SMALLINT( 5 ) NOT NULL default '0'");

Replace with: $vbulletin->db->query_write("ALTER TABLE " . TABLE_PREFIX . "forum ADD `afsuotpt` SMALLINT( 5 ) NOT NULL default '1'");
Save the plugin file, and then upload to your forum. By changing the 0 to a 1 it turns on the option for all forums by default.

[Dragon Company]

Any VB 3.7 version ? :(

[Ranger187]

3.7 and flawless.

[Dragon Company]

Ok thanks :)

[BirdOPrey5]

Installed and working fine in 3.8

Only annoying thing is it seems to be "off" for every forum by default- I have to go to each one in forum manager and turn it on.

^^Thanks for that - worked exactly as described.

And big thanks to VBDev - great codework. Thank you very much.

[dimples]

Worked great on 3.8.0 and with the fix all forums defaulted to on. Thank you!

[Bulldog Stang]

Is there an update to this for 3.8.1 .. I am having some minor issues with it .. it is showing my sigs twice. I hit refresh and all is ok ..

[letsjoy]

Man, I want it for vB 4.x please...

Thanks :)

[BirdOPrey5]

This works fine on 4.1.5 for me, am sure it works on all 4.x

[whitey92lx]

sweet! Thanks!

[akz645]

Still works on vbulletin 4.2.3 :)
Default is set as no, but you can change that from Admin CP -> Forums & Moderators -> Forum Manger (as shown in the screenshot in the original post)

[wangyu1314]
