Spoiler Sigs (Hidden Signatures) - Hide Sigs by Usergroup, Userid or Post Count

Mod: Spoiler (Hidden) Sigs by BOP5
Version: 2.25

NEW IN VERSION 2.25
Fixed bug affecting VB 3.x users causing php error when viewing single post (showpost.php).

NEW IN VERSION 2.2
Two new features: 1) Ability to hide sigs for specific users and 2) ability to remove signatures from posts completely, not just hide them. Plus 1 minor bug fix.

NEW IN VERSION 2.1
A new option to always show the signature un-hidden to the logged in user, this way you can hide signatures without the user knowing his specific signature was hidden.

This mod has been tested on VB 3.8.6 and 4.0.8 and should be compatible with all versions from 3.5 through 4.x. If you find it incompatible please post here.

(Scroll down to 2nd post to see hidden sig. No registration required.)

This is an installable product version of my ?Hidden Sigs? template modification (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=243082) released earlier. If you previously installed this template edit you must uninstall it first by undoing the changes you originally made in your postbit or postbit_legacy template.

Install this product like any other vBulletin modification. Go to the Admin CP -> Manage Products -> Add/Import Product and press ?Choose File.? Locate and import the product file.

Once imported you MUST go to the options to enable the mod and setup your usergroups. In vBulletin Options scroll down to Spoiler (Hidden) Sig Options (near the bottom).
Choose Yes to Enable the Mod

You can choose to hide sigs (make them spoilers) by Usergroup ID (primary or secondary) or by minimum post count.

You can customize the HTML used in the spoiler code so if you want to change it or have a different code you prefer to use you can change it easily in the options. This is for advanced users only. This mod will work just fine with the default code.

Please remember to Mark as Installed if you use this. :)

Read the .txt file included in the .zip for full instructions.

Updated this today with a new option as suggest by kether1 in the Requests forum-

The new option lets you "hide" the fact you are hiding someone's signature- that is to say- to any logged in user it will look like their signature isn't hidden, but for everyone else, it will be hidden.

I personally wouldn't use it but I could see why some admins would want this option.

The new option is called: Hide for User? and the default is "Yes" which means YES, the user's signature MAY be hidden. To enable this new option you actually have to set this option to "No" which means, "NO" the user's signature will NEVER be hidden for them.

I hope you can follow my logic- test it first if you're not sure.

2.25 released. A bug in the for 3.x users causing a php error if you use showpost.php to view a single post. Anyone using 2.2 should upgrade ASAP.
