I think your attachement isn't good ... because the file is equal to the original hack :(

[VirtueTech]

DOH! :eek:

I updated the ZIP file please re-download.

[RobAC]

James,

Nice job!

[GB]

hrmmm...i cant get it to work. where exactly am i supposed to put that sedit.php file? first i had it in my public_html folder, then moved it to my forums folder, then my admin folder......???

[Fryzid]

Put it again in your forum folder.

[GB]

got it to work....but for some reason i had to put sedit.php in my public_html folder to get it to work....not my forums folder

Thanks RobAC :)

GB - I'm not sure why you would have to do that.

[the_sisko]

@Stasik:
Don't forget to edit the update query to the database, otherwise your signatur will get blank, when you just edit the profile!!!

[EXCHANGE]

Really nice update :D

ups... ;) i`ll modify it

[VirtueTech]

New Addition - 08/01/01

After seeing what Stasik did with the button I wanted to it to my site, but I added
a little change to show the signature on the "modify profile" template along
with the button. This borrows code from the original sedit.php hack.

Check it out:
http://images.paintballcity.com/sig_pic.gif

Here's how to do it:
In member.php find:

$signature=htmlspecialchars($bbuserinfo[signature]);


And AFTER it add:

$signaturepreview=bbcodeparse($signature,0,$allows milies); // preview


Next open your modifyprofile template

Replace::

<tr>
<td bgcolor="#DFDFDF" valign="top"><b><normalfont>Signature:</normalfont></b><br>
<smallfont>Optional signature you may use to appear at bottom of your posts.</smallfont>
<p><smallfont>HTML code is $htmlonoff<br>
<a href="misc.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=bbcode">vB Code</A> is $bbcodeonoff<br>
[img] code is $imgcodeonoff<br>
<a href="misc.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=showsmilies">Smilies</a> are $smiliesonoff
</smallfont></p></td>
<td bgcolor="#DFDFDF"><textarea name="signature" rows="6" cols="40">$bbuserinfo[signature]</textarea></td>
</tr>


With:

<tr>
<td bgcolor="#8080A6" colspan="2"><normalfont color="#EEEEFF" class="thtcolor"><b>Signature Preview</b> - </normalfont><smallfont color="white">Optional signature you may use to appear at bottom of your posts.</smallfont> </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td bgcolor="#DFDFDF" valign="top"><blockquote>$signaturepreview</blockquote></td>
<td bgcolor="#DFDFDF" align="center"><a href="sedit.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=show"><img src="images/edit_sig.gif" width="122" height="23" border="0"></a></td>
</tr>


and copy the attached image for your "edit signature" button. If you want to change
the color all you need to do is "colorize" the image and change the HUE.

I hope you like it. :)

[Phil]

That is a nice hack VirtueTech...just adding the latest addition with the button, but I get a parse error in the member.php after I add your change. This may be because I am using vB2.0.3??

Also, your specified colours in the template would be better off replaced with the vB colour variables ({ tableheadbgcolor}, etc) to integrate with any style set.

Edit...I just noticed that the vB will swap those variables for the current colour values when called from a post.....how about adding this infor to your original .zip??

[VirtueTech]

I have not tried this hack with vb2.0.3 yet sorry. When I upgrade I will post here.

As for your idea...I will add that. :)

[DarkReaper]

I just installed it on 2.0.3. It doesn't work right. The vBCode and Smilies boxes aren't there and some of the text is the wrong color.

[VirtueTech]

Yes I know check my last post. This hack is not ready for vb2.0.3 yet

Thanks...the original hack works great in 2.0.3, it is just when I add the info to the member.php for the sig to be previewed on the usercp page that I get the parse error....I am sure it won't be a hard fix, but what do I know :rolleyes:

[GB]

I first installed this hack when I was running vB2.0.0 beta4, and just recently upgraded to vB2.0.3 and it works just fine for me.

[DarkReaper]

When will this be avaliable for vB 2.0.3?

[Dakota]

I think I've found a slight bug. After a user edits their sig in the sig editor it takes them back to the profile. And it shows the preview of the sig and everything there, but if they submit modifications on the preview page it deletes their sig.

I am using vB 2.0.1

[webhost]

I am using with version 2.0.3 no problems works fine. I add smilies, img;s text color all works fine. Using the button also
upgrade mind to use VirtueTech changes
Joey

[VirtueTech]

I will posting posting a fix to that bug later Dakota - I have to run out with my family for a bit...I also have another small upgrade to somone elses Idea with the edit button.

Will post again later tonight :)

[snyx]

2.03 works fine www.form-kaos.com

[valid]

do this

[Phil]

Working great with 2.0.3 now....apart from the slight bug that Dakota found.

[davibou]

i have install the hack well but just a small problem when i want to preview , save or return back i have a blanck page what can i do now ????

[bitbender]

Great work! :cool: :cool: :cool:

Installed in my 2.0.3 board like a snap!

Eaisest Hack to apply Yet

Triple THUMBS UP!!

[webhost]

VirtueTech

Any ideas yet on the 2.0.3 bug, to keep my signature from disappearing after a edit profile function?

[webhost]

fix for version 2.0.3 with problem with signature leaving after you hit submit button. Doesn't look as pretty but it works and corrects the problem. Make this change only if you have installed and are using the button on the right and the signature preview on the left in usercp profile

Find this in modifyprofile template

<td bgcolor="#DFDFDF" valign="top"><blockquote>$signaturepreview</blockquote></td>


Replace with this
<td bgcolor="{secondaltcolor}"><textarea name="signature" rows="6" cols="40">$bbuserinfo[signature]</textarea></td>

Works great broheim
Sarge

[bitbender]

Yep, Completely Kewl!

[Hoffi]

I turned HTML in Sig on, and installed the Editor.
It works fine, but: If I uses HTML-Tags in the Sig, in the preview the Tags are shown. In the Part: Current Saved Signature in Profile it is shown right.

Where's the Problem?

[webhost]

Hoffi

Read my post above this is correct, to have it like before you
can do it but you lost it everytime you hit the submit button.
To do what you are talking about would take an additional field in the database which is nothing big, but it would also take a major hack in the member php file. Unless someone else knows a easier way.

A solution for the Problem i have posted in this Thread:

I received this same information last week from The_Sisko, just got around to trying it and it does seem to work,

Joey

Thanks

[Afterburner]

If you go to the usercp click on edit profile than on Signatur editor it shows the bug in the attachment, if you click on prewiew (also without changes) it seems OK

[webhost]

Aferburner what are you talking about explain yourself man, don't see anything about a attachment bug.

[Afterburner]

you dont see the green color ? and the not "converted" smilies ?

I think if I open the sig editor the first time (not the prewiew page) all signatures shall be the same ! Am I right ? My screenshot shows in the prewiew-table not the orginal signature (I dont mean the prewiew page) Do you understand me ? Sorry for the english but I am from Germany

[tubedogg]

OK I've got a zip here with everything fixed up.

Things to know:
--The problem reported by afterburner is fixed.
--The problem with the signature being cleared upon submitting modifyprofile is fixed.
--The default is now to show the user's current signature on the modifyprofile page, with a link to the signature editor. You can change this link to the button provided by VirtueTech if you want to.
--To upgrade, copy and paste the contents of the _editsignature.txt file into your _editsignature template, and make the required changes to member.php and the modifyprofile template. If you have already edited the modifyprofile template I highly suggest you replace those changes with the ones in the install.txt file in the zip.
--It has been fully tested with v2.0.3.

This is my modification to VT's hack, which is a mod to a hack by Fryzid, which is a rewrite of AA's v1.x hack. Got that? ;)

I fixed the bug afterburner reported...only this time I *actually* fixed it. See the new zip file here (http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?postid=162067#post162067).

LOL!! I don't know. I have the VT version installed. I just downloaded this one. I'll upgrade tomorrow when I am awake again. :D

Here's a PSD of the button I'm using on my board for the link to the Sig Editor...enjoy :)

Do we need to change this back in member.php?

A solution for the Problem i have posted in this Thread:

http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/show...9224#post161037

The SQL-Statement must be changed.

[tubedogg]

Yes you should change that back to the original.

[webhost]

thank you

[Afterburner]

@ tubedogg

still the same problem

I uploaded the new sedit.php and replaced the _editsignature Template with the new template

I made no further modifications because I dont need the hack in the "edit profile" - page

[webhost]

Afterburner

Just got through installing hack all over again with changes, now go to my board and see if it works on my board for you.

Let Me know
Just tried your signature, the blues and greens are correct just the reds turn lite green so it is better but still a problem

I made no further modifications because I dont need the hack in the "edit profile" - page Regardless of whether you want to use it, the changes to member.php need to be made to not erase the signature when you submit your profile. Also you need to find
<input type="hidden" name="action" value="updateprofile">
and add right below it
<input type="hidden" name="signature" value="$sendsig">
in the modifyprofile template - otherwise, again, it will submit a blank signature.

Are you still having the same problem with the &gt; instead of the > etc.?

[webhost]

tubedogg
I have all of those changes that you mention and have the same problem
afterburner has. You did fix the profile signature submit save feature it now works, but aferburner's problem still does exist. I tried his signature on my board as we did yesterday and we have the same problem.

look in his signature above the reds he has in it turn to lite green after a save, they look red when you preview but when you save they turn lite green

[tubedogg]

Can you post, in [php] tags, the code used to make his signature please? (the [php] tags will keep it from parsing as vB Code)

[webhost]

removed

[tubedogg]

The problem is the quotes surrounding the color values - that is not valid vB Code and is confusing the editor.

[webhost]

how does it work in his signature above?

[tubedogg]

I should've elaborated - the quotes are getting turned into &quot; which is in turn not valid vB Code.

I might be able to fix this...lemme see...

[webhost]

ok thanks

[tubedogg]

See this post (http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?postid=162297#post162297)for the latest zip file.

[webhost]

Thanks Tubedogg.

I have tried it. It is better but 1 small bug.

The way I have installed is in the profile section. I have the edit signature button on the right and my current signature on the left looks just like my signature in the bottom of this post. I went in and uploaded your new sedit.php file. I then went to the edit profile section and I put in afterburners signature for a test. Once I put it in I previewed it it looked correct with all colors correctly showing. I then saved and it took me back to the profile section . The signature showing there still has the wrong colors no red but instead lite green. I then submitted and went and looked at one of my post and the signature showed in the post correctly with the correct colors. So it shows correctly in the edit signature section and in the post section but not in the field in the edit profile options page . Hope this makes sense.

Joey

[tubedogg]

I know this sounds like a copout, but I don't see how that's possible, for it to be displaying correctly in three places but not the fourth.

[webhost]

if you want I can email you an guest signon for you to see for yourself.

Joey

[tubedogg]

Please do - cause I just tried it again on my board and it all works, even with afterburner's sig.

[webhost]

Kevin do you still need it?

[DarkReaper]

Works great for me, but in the Edit Profile screen it doesn't parse the vBCodes in the sig. Is this a problem or is it not supposed to? :)

[webhost]

not needed

[webhost]

AfterBurner

Check out your signature on the board, it works all locations.

I took out the hard coded color numbers you had and just used the names red,seagreen and it works fine. Check it out

Joey

Now to change my signature back here and get rid of those colors.

[tubedogg]

webhost, make sure you have all of the following in member.php:

4. Open member.php and find

eval("\$customfields .= \"".gettemplate("register_customfields")."\";");
}

Right below that, add
$signature1=$bbuserinfo[signature];
$signature2=$bbuserinfo[signature];
$signature=bbcodeparse($signature1,0,$allowsmilies );
$sendsig=htmlspecialchars($signature2);

Then find

if ($email!=$emailconfirm) {

and right *ABOVE* it, add

$signature=ereg_replace('&gt;', '>', $signature);
$signature=ereg_replace('&lt;', '<', $signature);
$signature=ereg_replace('&quot;', "\"", $signature);
$signature=ereg_replace('&amp;', '&', $signature);

That's the only reason I can see it would work for me and not for you.

DarkReaper: It parses fine for me on the profile screen. Have you made *all* of the changes noted in the install.txt file?

[DarkReaper]

Yea I did it all. Here's the section of code that seems would be the problem...looks fine to me.

eval("\$customfields .= \"".gettemplate("register_customfields")."\";");
}

$signature=bbcodeparse($bbuserinfo[signature],0,$allowsmilies);
$sendsig=htmlspecialchars($bbuserinfo[signature]);

[webhost]

Tubedogg

That was it man

I didn't have eveything in there. I had the following like the DarkReaper

$signature=bbcodeparse($bbuserinfo[signature],0,$allowsmilies);
$sendsig=htmlspecialchars($bbuserinfo[signature]);

I changed it to what you had; this and it worked. The hard coded numbers like Afterburner has also works,

$signature1=$bbuserinfo[signature];
$signature2=$bbuserinfo[signature];
$signature=bbcodeparse($signature1,0,$allowsmilies );
$sendsig=htmlspecialchars($signature2);

Thanks for your efforts today it is highly appreciated.

Joey

[tubedogg]

For some reason I didn't have that in the install.txt file...OK here is an updated zip file with the correct instructions. :)

[Bald Bouncer]

Very cool hack, thanks a lot.
Is it just me or does adding hacks become addictive :D

[Afterburner]

works fine, thx for fixing this problem

[MApI]

Tubedogg re-installed your up-hack, but I've still the same prob. When I click on Signature Editor, return only a blank page with this msg:

Thx in adv.

Bye

[DarkReaper]

Argh! I just did the update you suggested and it still doesn't parse the vB code on the Edit Profile screen. Here's the code snippet from member.php:


...
eval("\$customfields .= \"".gettemplate("register_customfields")."\";");
}

$signature1=$bbuserinfo[signature];
$signature2=$bbuserinfo[signature];
$signature=bbcodeparse($signature1,0,$allowsmilies );
$sendsig=htmlspecialchars($signature2);

if ($allowhtml) {
...

[cyrus]

aaarrghhhh

I did exactly as in the zip file right at the beginning but I get an empty white page when I click on the sigeditor on my EDIT PROFILE page.

What should i dooooo ???

I run vb 2.0.3

pls help

THAN K YOUUUUUUu

[webhost]

first read back a couple of pages and install tubedogg's rewrite of the hack then look I believe torwards the end of the first page and look for VirtueTech add on for the hack then install that over tubedogg's that is it

[SirSteve]

Ok, the new version fixed a few things but people are still e-mailing me thinking the Signature section in the edit profile page (that shows the signature in raw format) isn't exactly correct because it doesn't line break them correctly. Any way to fix this? Having this "Preview" the signature would be much better (on the edit profile page).

[webhost]

Steve look I believe torwards the end of the first page and look for VirtueTech add on for the hack then install that over tubedogg's that is it

[SirSteve]

This entire thread is a mess.

I had to remove this hack because of all the bugs.

I want the signature editor and preview signature on the modify profile page with the Edit Signature button.

This hack should work if you edit your signature and when you go back to the modify profile page and hit Submit (assuming you made a change in another field like Location), it will save.

[VirtueTech]

I am upgrading to v2.0.3 tonight or tomorrow. I will update this hack soon. Within the week.

[webhost]

using vb 2.0.3 and it works just fine for me no problems

[shadowbreed]

2.0.3 working great!!!

[[VbbFr]Elie]

Yes It's working great in v2.0.3 bu i've got the same trouble like After...

If i dont click on Preview, HTML is not working in the 2 previews area ...
I've to push 'Preview' and it's working after ...
Why not before when i just go to sedit.php ?

Thanks :)
I've to finish French Version ... :)

[snyx]

okay on 2.03 and everything worked great, but I had the problem where after you "SAVED" it worked, but then when you hit "SUBMIT" on the profile page it erased it. I changed it with webhost fix, now it works, but it looses that "preview" I really like, any way of getting it to work with the preview on and the "SUBMIT" on profile page not deleting the sig?

[snyx]

thanks to webhost for fixing up my prob.
just curious, why does the SAVE button take so long to prosess?

[DarkReaper]

There's only one problem with this on 2.0.3:

To make it compatible with online.php, open online.php.

Find:

default:
$userinfo[activity] = 'unknown';
}


BEFORE that, add this:

case 'sedit.php':
$userinfo[activity] = 'editsig';
break;


Then find this:

default:
// Let's show the admin the location but put something false up for everyone else..
if ($bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == 6) {
$userinfo[location] = htmlspecialchars(stripslashes(replacesession($user info[location])));
$userinfo[where] = "<b>Unknown Location:</b> <a href=\"$userinfo[location]\">$userinfo[location]</a>";
} else {
// We were unable to parse the location
$userinfo[where] = "$bbtitle <a href='index.php?s=$session[sessionhash]'>Main Index</a>";;
}


BEFORE that, add this:

case 'editsig':
$userinfo[where] = "Changing Forum Signature";
break;

AnY ideas?

I am using ver. 2.2.1 vbulletin

[Dalius]

Can we get an updated version of this for 2.2.1 please?

[VirtueTech]

As soon as I get upgrade to 2.2.1 I will. :)

[Dalius]

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2011/01/19.gif Cool

[DarkReaper]

I installed this on 2.2.1 with only one problem - user's signatures randomly disappear. It is truly random as far as I can tell - mine disappeared and I haven't touched my profile/options/signature since I installed it....

[VirtueTech]

This usually happens because when you go to the signature page you come back to the profile and hit submit. The signature is blank in the profile page...so you need to remove the signature from the UPDATE query in member.php

You need to modify your member.php

In 2.0.3 find and remove:

,signature='".addslashes($signature)."'


From this line:

I hope this helps. :) I'm not sure what the line is in 2.2.*

[DarkReaper]

Old line:
$DB_site->query("UPDATE user SET birthday='".addslashes($birthday)."',signature='".addslashes($signature)."',customtitle='".intval($customtitle)."',usertitle='".addslashes($customtext)."',email='".addslashes(htmlspecialchars($email))."',parentemail='".addslashes(htmlspecialchars($parentemail))."',coppauser='$coppauser',homepage='".addslashes(htmlspecialchars($homepage))."',icq='".addslashes(htmlspecialchars($icq))."',aim='".addslashes(htmlspecialchars($aim))."',yahoo='".addslashes(htmlspecialchars($yahoo))."',usergroupid='$bbuserinfo[usergroupid]' WHERE userid='$bbuserinfo[userid]'");



New line:
$DB_site->query("UPDATE user SET birthday='".addslashes($birthday)."',customtitle='".intval($customtitle)."',usertitle='".addslashes($customtext)."',email='".addslashes(htmlspecialchars($email))."',parentemail='".addslashes(htmlspecialchars($parentemail))."',coppauser='$coppauser',homepage='".addslashes(htmlspecialchars($homepage))."',icq='".addslashes(htmlspecialchars($icq))."',aim='".addslashes(htmlspecialchars($aim))."',yahoo='".addslashes(htmlspecialchars($yahoo))."',usergroupid='$bbuserinfo[usergroupid]' WHERE userid='$bbuserinfo[userid]'");

I just installed this using the attachment in the first post (sig_editor.zip).

It appears to be working fine for me, so I'm leery of re-doing it with sig_editorupdate.zip.

Can anyone tell me if I need to install the update or if the original zip works fine?

I'm running 2.2.1 :)

I'm running 2.2.1 :) I think you can use the original zip. But, you do need to make the code change to keep saving options from overwriting what the editor saves. I switched over to Tubedogg's last zip. I think there are instructions elsewhere in the thread for how to solve the overwriting problem. But, this is one very confusing thread. :)

[Lucky]

Great hack.

For 2.2.1 I had to fix the error/warning message, by adding the following line right under the first line ( <$php ) in sedit.php:

error_reporting(7);

[Shenlong]

Awesome hack, all my members are pleased, espically my ones not familiar with vBBs now because they can easily add stuff, 20 lines is perfect for them, no more long quotes are sigs, thanks so much VirtualTech, hack works great! cant wait for more ;)

[MApI]

Works very well, without any king of problem & with easy intallation.

Thx. :D

[Dalius]

Can someone post a WORKING 2.1.1 version!

i dont want to read the whole post! :(

[Massiel]

Is this available for 2.2.2? I saw a board that has this hack installed and is 2.2.2, can someone put all the code together? It is really hard knowing what to add and not to add after reading all the suggestions in all the thread pages! I really want to add this hack but it looks too scary this way. Please help!

[Massiel]

Anyone?

[Massiel]

oh boy

[Sadie Frost]

I just used the original zip in the first post and it has worked fine for me since 2.2.1 (now on 2.2.4) :)

[Dark Odin]

Okay I'm having some problems. I want to have the signature editor and keep the textarea for the signature on the edit profile page, buttttttt, the textarea in the edit profile page doesn't save when you edit it. I've used all the updates with the original hack from the first page. Any ideas?

[Dark Odin]

[Keyser S?ze]

this hack would be wonderful if it also had a way to upload a sig image to use :)

I like this hack, but it just doesn't seem to have all bugs worked out for 2.2.5. I have messed with it, but being a rookie I am a bit lost. At first attempt the preview showed the unformatted vbcode, I got that fixed. Now my sig link results in a vbullentin message box page, not the sedit page i used to have when i used this back in previous versions of vb. Any tips why clicking the link would not give me the sig editor?
Here's my modifyprofile add-in
<tr>
<td bgcolor="#1D6AA0" colspan="2"><normalfont color="#EEEEFF" class="thtcolor"><b>Signature Editor and Preview</b></normalfont> <smallfont color="#EEEEFF" class=thtcolor>Optional signature you may use to appear at the bottom fo your posts.</smallfont></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td bgcolor="#13486D" valign="top"><blockquote>$signaturepreview</blockquote></td>

<td bgcolor="#13486D" align="center"><a href="sedit.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=show"><img src="images/editsig.gif" width="122" height="23" border="0">
</a></td>
</tr>
If this isn't where I need to be looking, where should I be?
It seems to work with Netscape fine, go figure IE is giving me trouble.

*It would be really cool if this was updated and compiled.

[Velocd]

Ok, can somebody help me get this code working:

I want to display a signature link in the usercp navbar, and also an avatar link, like Vbulletin.org has.

See this attachment for the signature link (like FFRepublic has) and see the next post attachment for the avatar link. This way I can just remove the whole section of editing your avatar in the options page or profile page, and also it provides quicker access to the frequently used areas.

(the reason I ask for this and not do it myself is that I've tried and for some reason I can't get it to work correctly)

[Velocd]

Avatar Link:

[Velocd]

bump ^

[Erwin]

Velocd,

In the usercpnav template, find this:


<td bgcolor="$cpnav[3]"><smallfont><b><a href="member.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=editoptions">Options</a></b></smallfont></td>


Add these lines directly after it:


<td bgcolor="$cpnav[2]"><smallfont><b><a href="sedit.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=show">Signature</a></b></smallfont></td>
<td bgcolor="$cpnav[2]"><smallfont><b><a href="member.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=editavatar">Avatar</a></b></smallfont></td>


That should add the signature and avatar links to the usercp nav bar. :)

[Erwin]

A screenshot of what it should look like once you install it:

[Velocd]

Yes, but does it work correctly when you click on other links, like say click on options or the signature link, will the correct link above be highlighted? There should be some type of php file modification...

For example, to see the issues I'm having refer to the below attachment:

[Dalius]

I have a prob.

It doesn't parse the Signature exactly

Look at the preview in edit.

[Dalius]

Actual Sig:

I think you need to do this, it worked for me:

[dotagious]

Anyone know if this works with 2.2.5 ?

[Erwin]

Yes, it works well with 2.2.5 - you just need to install the right bits.

[dotagious]

Are the right "bits" explained in the original instructions?

[Jeremy W.]

Awesome :)

[Hoffi]

Argh. Now I Install this Hack on a new 2.2.7 Board and I have trouble.
Opening the sigeditor works, but if i click on Preview or Save the only Thing I see is a fully white page. :(

[garoboldy]

yeah, I have 2.2.7 and I am getting a blank page after I click on preview or save....whats the deal

anyone know whats going on???

thanks for any info. later

[Mathieu]

Thanks for this hack i'll try it when i've time

[Hoffi]

anybody has an idea for my Prob?

[garoboldy]

got my paged fixed...works pretty well
great hack

[Kurisu]

How did you get it fixed, garoboldy?

[wolfe]

did you reupload the new sedit.php file from the new zip ?

[Kurisu]

Now it works. My problem was that I had differnet versions of "Preview", "Save" and "Back" in sedit.php and _editsiganture template cause I had to translate everything into german.

[isman]

I'm using 2.2.7 and am having a problem when I save my profile options. Instead of saving and returning I get this.
If you have forgotten your username or password, you can request to have your username emailed to you and to reset your password. When you fill in your registered email address, you will be sent instructions on how to reset your password.I've followed the instructions and applied some of the other fixes throughout this thread but can't figure this one out.

Can someone offer some suggestions on this one?

[isman]

Never mind. I didn't read the instructions correctly and did a replace instead of an add below.

[Kurisu]

Hm I'm using 2.2.6 and every time a user updates his profile, the signature is lost. Anyone can help?

[feldmaresciallo]

Someone could tell me how put into thi s hack a img dimensions control?

i need to allow only 400x200 images.

Someone could help me?

[PurpleCow]

Anyone knows, if this is working on 2.3.0 ??

I want this hack !

Thanks

[daFish]

This is really a great hack.
Good work.

But some of my users have a problem using the editor.

I installed it correctly and it works for me and some others fine, bot IE6 and Firebird 0.7, but some of the users didn't get the editor to work.
All they got is what you can see in the image attached.

Anyone can help?
