Cut down signature when going over specific height

[Skyrider]

vB3 had a signature plugin that when going over a specific height that you can set in the AdminCP the signature will be cut off when going over the limit. It won't resize the signature nor alter it as whole but rather it won't show the complete signature and just doesn't display the part that goes over the height. Any way possible someone can create this for vB4?

I'd bet that mod still works so long as you put the code around:

{vb:raw post.signature}

Instead of:
$post[signature]


So basically replace the code:
{vb:raw post.signature}

With:

<hr size="1" style="color:#678B06" />
<div valign="bottom" style="width:100%; height:400px; overflow: auto">
{vb:raw post.signature}
</div>


That should work, but I haven't tested it.

That seems to work, thanks! But is there anyway the scroller can be removed? I prefer it to be cut down completely rather showing a scrollbar to show the rest.

[BirdOPrey5]

change "overflow: auto" to "overflow: hidden"

[Skyrider]

Why thank you, you should submit this as a signature mod for vb4.

I posted the instructions in the original mod for anyone interested- I wouldn't feel right submitting it as my own, hopefully the original author may one day do it.

There's just 1 problem with this alteration. Setting the pixels will increase the height of the whole signature, even if you are only using a small signature.. here's an example:

- Without the plugin

- With the plugin
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachment.php?attachmentid=120986&stc=1&d=1282160307

You see height changes. Do ignore the backgrounds, I used 2 different styles as an example.

[BirdOPrey5]

Hmmm... Try using max-height:500px instead of height:500px.

So...
'
<hr size="1" style="color:#678B06" />
<div valign="bottom" style="width:100%; max-height:400px; overflow: auto">
{vb:raw post.signature}
</div>

:) I love you, thanks! That works very nicely.

EDIT:
Actually, it only seems to work half.

Check my posts and then #13. See the difference? It sometimes works, but not always.. It's very weird.

[BirdOPrey5]

Everyone of the signatures look good/right to me... What browser you using? I use Chrome but have them all installed.

I justed re-checked with Firefox and IE8, both look good for me also- maybe it was just a cache issue? :confused:

[Skyrider]

I just did a cache refresh, and all my posts signatures are correct, except post #13. You don't see it? #13 has extra space below the signature. make sure you are using "ESF - Default Theme"

[BirdOPrey5]

Post 13 has extra space because your postbit is longer than the post. (The area on the left of the post).

Ah, so I guess the longer the post, the better looking the signature space.. hehe, thanks! ^_^.
