Extra Signature Settings (Deafult signature + 3 other extra options)

[borbole]

This mod will expand further the Signature Settings with 4 extra options.

1) It will allow you to add a minimum number of posts for your users to create signatures. You can aslo choose which usergroups and/or individual users can bypass this limit.

2) It will allow you to prevent/ban individual users from using signatures at your forum.

3) It will allow you to exlude signatures from being shown in certain forums of your choosing. That is for normal users because the staff signatures will still be shown if you want.

4) It will allow you to set up a default signature which will be displayed in all the posts for all those members that don''t have a signature of their own, from the moment that it is set and onwards. The past posts won''t be affected by it. When they will create a signature of their own it will overwride the default signature from that moment and onwards.

All the settings can be enabled and disabled separately. For more info, please have a look at the attached screenshots below.

Installation:

To install the mod, upload the includes folder to your forum root folder and then import the expanded_sigs.xml file inside the mod package to Plugins&Products in the acp of your forum. Then go to the mod setting option: Extra Signature Options. It can be found on the left side of the Admin Panel, right above the RSS Feeds.

[borbole]

Thanks for your comment/feedback.

[Kaleem]

Exactly what I was looking for.

Thank You

[tafreeh]

I have been looking for it since decades... would that be possible if you do something similar for avatars too ?

Thank You

You are welcome

Atm I don''t have much free time. But try to request it at the forums and hopefully someone will create it for you. It is fairly easy to do it.

[betts02]

Is it possible to have this displayed for 1 usergroup only ? along side their own sig ?

so you have a default sig and the users own sig

[alawee.blawee]

i tried to disable the signatures for two forums so i activated that option then i added the forums numbers and left the last field empty once and added only my usergroup as admin to it
and nothing happened. singatures are still displayed

how comes?
is there something i'm missing?

[Addams]

You saved my life! Thanks so much<3

So you mean to have 2 signatures? I will look into it when I will have some free time.

That doesn''t affect the signatures that were before from the mod was installed. But it affects the signature only from the time that the mod is installed and onwards. Same like Vb does.

P.s. Can you post a screenshot of the mod setting for that part please?

[betts02]

What i mean is i want to have 1 usergroup with a certain sig ALL the time, and let the user have their own sig also

When people join our clan, we place them on trial with a sig code, we have to put this code in everytime someone joins us, but if this could work it woukd save us lots of time

I see what you mean. The thing is that I don''t have much free time. Atm I am working on another mod, that will be my last mod for a while, but later on if I will get some free time I will look into it.

[AzzidReign]

Great stuff!

Maybe later on if I will get some free time, I might look into it. But in meanwhile try to post the request at the forums as well and hopefully someone will create it for you sooner.

Thank you also for making this modification available. We're using it on our forum to better manage forum signatures.

Can you please try the updated package? It works fine with vb 4.0.4. and 4.0.5 :)

[latch]

Great mod:).

I just had a request I was hoping you could add. If possible, can you please allow admin to state why the user was banned? so when the user try's to add a sig, it will provide the reason?

[General of the]

tagged

I was hoping for a mod to limit the size of LINKED images on signatures

[sticky]

Would it be possible to add an option to tag and hide signatures that are NWS?

[Gero50]

Installed thanks for the cool mod. :)

[Nomar86]

finally. tagged it for future install :) thanks

[Bradley_Wint]

Looks nice! I was wondering if there would be some way to add a function to limit the number of links in the signature as well?

[BlueCheri]

Thanx a lot, one headache gone :)

[ShaolinTiger]

Just wondering would this work with vB 3.8.x?

[BarelyHangingOn]

It doesn't work. Signatures are still showing up in excluded forums under 4.08, if anybody knows of one that works please pm me. i really need this.

[x9751]

Pretty cool was waiting for something like this... Installed :D

[Dave Hawley]

Is it possible for the default signature to apply to older posts?

[v12kid]

anyone know if this works for ver 3.8?

[The Rocketeer]

I have a big forum, recently I noticed that a lot of new members are signing up everyday, putting links in their signature but not posting...human spam perhaps.... So hopefully this mod will do the trick aye? Thanks for the mod..happy holidays

[OldSchoolDSL]

Installed and working

4.1.1

[mrdexx]

Installed perfectly! Combined with vSA (disable posting of links/pics) ...I can stop the barrage of "forum signature spammers" that are popping up more now!

[kether1]

Looks promising!

Would you consider making an option to display a user's signature to only that member. This way, instead of banning a member from having a signature, I can simply turn-off that member's horrible signature from view of other members, but s/he can still see it. No hard feelings and none the wiser. :)

Thanks! TAGGED!

[waldvb]

Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks.

[nikosb]

Great stuff!

[CodCom]

Works just fine on 4.1.4.

Thanks for the mod.

[mgcom]

perfect, thanks

if i wanted the default sig to be a link.............how would i go about it

Cheers

[rluna559]

This works with 3.8. You just have to edit the min version setting in the .xml file.

[Longcat]

great hack! Thank you

[Luca_ITA]

work fine on vb4.1.9.
Thank you

[Methok]

This is great, Thank you.

Is it possible for the default signature option to have a separator, And then randomly choose from several signatures?

Example:

Signature 1;Signature 2;Signature 3;etc

Then randomly choose a signature for users that don't have a signature added?

Maybe its not even possible. I do like this hack though, Thanks again

[TiKu]

I think I've found a bug. The plugin "Prevent signatures from being displayed in certain forums." removes the signature for those user groups that you have specified on the "Signature Free Forums" page. However, the text on this page says:
Enter here the ID of the User Groups whose signatures you want to show at the Signature Free Forums. To choose more than 1 User Group, seperate their IDs with commas. By default it is set to show Admins signatures.
So the text says "enter those user groups for which you want the signature to be always displayed", but the plugin does the exact opposite and removes the signature for those user groups (and only for those!).

[Jakub03]

Awesome! keep up the good work! Installed! ;)

[dippetas]

is there a way that you can put in default sig this--> :{vb:raw post.field4} and work ?

[rjmjr69]

Also the ability to add hyperlinks to it default sigs as well as teh above two suggestions would make it MOT

I don''t care for the MOT.

[rjmjr69]

I don''t care for the MOT.

Good thing its not up to you to decide who votes for it ;-)
Keep up the good work its mucho appreciated boss

[J6488EEA8E90]

sweet mod. seems like I have all the tools to get rid of spammers painlessly.

[killerford]

Does this work for 4.2?

[K!nG]

Does this work for 4.2?

Surely does :)

[scoutz]

Awesome :) installed.

[line89]

does this still work?

[akz645]

does this still work?
Yeah, I have it installed on vbulletin 4.2.3.
I haven't tried all the settings, but for the ones I did try it worked fine.

[Stratis]

Works fine in vb4.2.0pl4

Nice mod thanks.
