Limit Signature Size


Description:
This modification, as opposed to other similar modifications,
lets you limit the size of signatures in your forum,
and not only images/lines of text in it, but the size of the whole signature.

the Admin Control Panel and to perform one template edit.

Version History:
1.0 05.06.2010: Initial release.

Awesome, was looking for this. If I may give a suggestion. Instead of replacing the signature with the new line, is it possible the whole signature gets cut off at a specific height? So you don't see the whole signature if it's too big?

[Kraxell]

Taggt for later (i wait some days for bug-alert or something else :D)

[kingharrison]

anyway to make this work for 4.0.2?

[Skyrider]

I think this is a bit bugged. I've set 200 pixels max, yet it lets a 265 height pixel signature stick around. I've toyed around with it, and it seems 150 seems to remove all the signatures, while 200 max height seems to allow them all again.

[kingharrison]

yeah, i am kinda noticing the same thing. this would be extremely powerful (and personally save me a bunch of time dealing with people who just do whatever they want with their signatures).

what can i do to help get this working?

Which version of vbulletin are you running?
Which browser are you using?

Chrome & vB 4.0.3 PL1. I do believe someone reported the same issue on FireFox as well. Would be great if too big signatures gets cut off though rather than text replaced.

Try updating with the attached file.


In postbit_legacy Template

Revert the template back to default.

Find

<blockquote class="signature restore"><div class="signaturecontainer">{vb:raw post.signature}</div></blockquote>


Replace with

<blockquote class="signature restore"><div id="signature_{vb:raw post.postid}" style="display: inline-block;" class="signaturecontainer">{vb:raw post.signature}</div></blockquote>

[kingharrison]

can this please be updated? this is a GREAT idea if it works. I would donate.

[Skyrider]

Any updates please?

[HackSawed]

Update please? :) Or is there a similar mod for this?

[tanerokutan]

update for 4.1.0 ?

[OldSchoolDSL]

Any update would be helpful

Anyone picking this up or is this going soon into the modification graveyard ?

I modified a similar mod for 4.0.5. The attached version works with 4.0.5, not sure about after that. (Tested with PHP 5.2)

It relies on curl and your PHP memory limit being set correctly. The default limits are 500x100 and 50 kb, memory usage is ~4MB at most. Memory usage goes up as you allow larger images.

[JAFRI]

not work 4.1.2 ????

[chjp]

4.1.0 not work :(

[yin9]

Not work, update please.

[akke]

As it's using javascript it's not realy 'safe' as anyone could just disable javascript and upload a bigger signature...

[Favori]

Update please for 4.1.x

[Scans007]

I too would LOVE and update......such a bummer this doesn't work

[ngphuc2k]

Thanks

[kaizokuhime]

Had to uninstall since it's not working on 4.1.1. I hope this gets updated soon, and thank you to the developer for creating this.

[Emeralda]

In case it would ever get updated, how does it work with spoilers? Would it allow signatures to be opened and view, or would they be cut off?

I really like this modification, but was looking for a simple way to make users aware of the height restriction so that they are not confused when their signature displays in the preview but are confronted with an error message in forum posts if their signature is too tall. I developed a simple template edit to display a height restriction warning on the Edit Signature page. I have included it below in case it is helpful to anyone else.

1) Add the following to modifysignature.css:


<h2 class="blockhead">{vb:rawphrase signature_height}</h2>
<div class="blockbody formcontrols settings_form_border1">
{vb:rawphrase signature_restriction_text}
</div>
<br>



2) Add the following to vbulletin-formcontrols.css:


.blockbody.settings_form_border1 {
border-{vb:stylevar right}: {vb:stylevar formrow_border};
border-{vb:stylevar left}: {vb:stylevar formrow_border};
border-bottom: {vb:stylevar formrow_border};
padding: 4px;
padding-left: 10px;
}



3) Create global variables signature_height (for title text) and signature_restriction_text (for body text).

Place the additional code in modifysignature.css wherever you would like the box to appear
on the Edit Signature page. I placed it at the very beginning of the template. Here is what it looks like:

EDIT: Working on 4.1.12

[Mr_Running]

Not Working for me on 4.1.12
I set maximum signature height to 80
I managed to have an image 578 x 399

This doesn't work either - I really need a mod like this.
