Signature only appears once per thread page

[vbmechanic]

Goal: Make the user's signature appear only once per page

Result: Simple as can be, 1 line replacement in includes/function_showthread.php

Cheers!

[zajako]

well done

[nemesis01]

Installed, good stuff.

[vbmechanic]

Thanks, was filling request: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=60781

Use this on my vB2 site, good to see it's ready for when I move over. :D

[Boofo]

This can be done with a simple line in the postbit template.

[Sebastian]

this can also be done with template conditional with no hacking.


edit: Boofo, stop repeating me! ;)

[vbmechanic]

Seeing that you would have to write an "if" statement and dig through the template menus, doing it this way is probably quicker :)

honestly, i think the 'if' is easier, since a vb.com dev posted it some time ago. But hey.. gotta love hacks :)

although I'll admit.. my test server has the if statement setup as user selectable lol

[vbmechanic]

Well, to me, using the template <if> conditionals is blurring the line between application and presentation layer.. it is meant as a quick fix if you're not able to modify the code. When both solutions are short and easy, I'll choose the code modification rather than putting more code in the presentation HTML. I do appreciate the functionality the conditionals give and I do use them when appropriate.

To each his/her own though ;)

But it is always easier in the templates when upgrading. Templates don't get changed as often as files do.

[FastAttack]

thank you very much..

do I have to update the posts so that this hack takes effect?

>>But it is always easier in the templates when upgrading. Templates don't get changed as often as files do.

Ahh good point, but I do compare-and-replace upgrades anyway.

>>do I have to update the posts so that this hack takes effect?

You should not have to.. the hack works by changing postbit, which is built dynamically each time someone accesses the thread.

Share the line ;)

[Boofo]

PM me if you want it. I don't want to muddle up this gentleman's thread when he released a hack for this. ;)

[Allan]

thank, good taf ;)

[FleaBag]

I installed this rather than the template mod - much simpler in my opinion. :D

How can downlading a file, editing it, and re-uploading that file be simpler than a template edit? Especially on an upgrade. ;)

[Akex]

Thanks, I installed it :)

Generation G has added this to our forums.

Thanks!

Doesn't work in RC4 (the requested line isn't in file showthread.php)

Bofo, what was the template level version?

Y'know, it's these little but elegant hacks that make vb.org's community such a delight. Many many thanks -- my community members sometimes reply many, many times in a thread and ALWAYS keep their sigs on! Very annoying. But thanks to this hack, it's nice and clean.

Great stuff, thanks. :)

After installing this, I got this message from my provider...

Your privvmpages value (as can be seen by using the command: cat
/proc/user_beancounters) is currently at 322983515, There is a soft limit at
, 125000 ,so it is being stopped from exceeding that.

Normal usage should be around 70,000 to 80,000 - so your current usage is
multiple times that.

This suggests that there is a memory leak somewhere in a script or aplication
on your server; do you have custom scripts installed?


the mod was removed and everything is back to normal.
anyone have a clue why this was happening?

[Lord Les]

Awesome .. thanks

Contact me PM and I will get it to you.

Have you posted this anywhere yet? :nervous:
and
is there and easy way to make it a checkbox user option?

[BfB]

Pardon me if I missed it, but how do you install this type of hack, yet allow it to "exclude" certain groups from having their signatures limited, i.e. Vendors?

Thanks in advance!

You can't with this kind of hack. But you can make it so new users can't have sigs avatars Pm's etc, and make a new user group who can have these abilities by making about 10 post. just create a new post promotion.

[secret1980]

good work mate :D it worked :D

[novelidea]

Is there anyway to have a signature only show up once per thread instead of once per page?

[soniceffect]

Nice ikkle addition m8 ... A few of these about, but it works :) thats all that matters

[asianboi]

works with 3.07 too lovely!

[mikehawk]

Great hack. Works great for purpose of my own forum needs.

/me installed this hack.

[Gutspiller]

FYI This doesn't work at all in 3.0.7 when using the quick reply.

[FleaBag]

It worked for me in 3.0.7 when I was running it...

[dodgez]

anything for 3.5?

[jugo]

Nice Hack..

I would love to see this as a plugin...

I hate doing file edits. Still have one board running vB3.0.6 Patches to 3.0.8 manually just to keep the Arcades...lol.

[m0nde]

This saves me bandwidth.

I heart this...
