View Full Version : Three (hopefully) simple requests ;)

One.. some alternate work around to viewing private messages with large images/signatures. I know this must have been a problem for someone before, as anyone using a fixed forum width could end up running into it. When viewing a private message, if someone has an image signature attached, and it's longer than the small width (only 50% to 75% of the size of the original posting space in a forum) the private message area provides, the forum stretches.. so I'm seeking to either disable signatures in private message viewing areas, or maybe remove the user control panel only when you've opened a private message, or some alternate work around.

Two.. For some reason, when I upload a profile picture in the control panel, it will show my current avatar as my profile picture, even if that's not what I uploaded. And if I delete my avatar and then upload a profile picture, it just comes back as nothing (not even a broken image). I've recently installed the Upload Signature mod, so there might be something conflicting in there.. I'm not sure exactly where or what to look for, so if anyone handy with PHP might know the cause for this, please let me know so I can correct it. Profile pictures aren't really a must, but hey, a feature is a feature. ;)

Three.. Okay, I lied, this one might be hard. I came from using a PHPBB, and while it's not as good as vBulletin, it had an IP system that outshined vB's.. If you clicked to see the poster's IP, it'd show you their IP, along with other IP's they've been linked to, other usernames they've been linked to, and how many posts they've made as each IP and/or user. That was quite handy when someone was being bored and decided to play "split personalities." :P

As always, I appreciate the help. Hopefully someday I'll be smart (and sexy :D) enough to offer tons of support. hehe

That might be what your looking for. On that one.

Didn't really have time to look at this earlier thought it would be harder.

Goto your postbit template

Find
<if condition="$post['signature']">
Change it to
<if condition="$post['signature'] AND THIS_SCRIPT != 'private'">
You'll also need to do that in your Postbit_legacy template if you use it.

This will disable the sig in private messages.

Not a clue about problem two. I'd check any hack's you made.

Just an update, I found the solution to problem number two on my own.
It was in images.php, some code that you're supposed to add there using the sigUploader 1.0.0 gets mixed inbetween some profile code. Just move the sigUploader code before or after the profile picture codes, and you're fine. ;)
