Removing signatures in a specific forum.

Hi All

I have been looking on this site for a specific hack that will remove ALL post signatures within an Admin forum I have, say forum ID 10 (on VB 3.3).
All the other forums can stay as default and allow the user to chose if he post his sig or not.
Dose anyone know if there is something like this around?

For existing posts you can run a query to update the database:

** UNTESTED **
update post, thread set post.showsignature=0 where post.threadid=thread.threadid and thread.forumid=10

For new posts I'd suggest to modify build_new_post().

Open postbit or postbit legacy and search for


<if condition="$post['signature']">
<!-- sig -->
<div>
__________________<br />
$post[signature]
</div>
<!-- / sig -->
</if>


Replace with



<if condition="$thread[forumid] != 10">
<if condition="$post['signature']">
<!-- sig -->
<div>
__________________<br />
$post[signature]
</div>
<!-- / sig -->
</if>
</if>

Well, this will not remove signatures - it will just hide them ;)

Well if you really... really don't want it in the db, you can edit functions_newpost.php

search for


// ### POST NEW POST ###
$DB_site->query("
INSERT INTO " . TABLE_PREFIX . "post
(threadid, parentid, title, username, userid, dateline, pagetext, allowsmilie,
showsignature, ipaddress, iconid, visible, attach)
VALUES
($threadinfo[threadid], $parentid, '" . addslashes($post['title']) . "',
'" . addslashes($post['postusername']) . "', $bbuserinfo[userid], " . TIMENOW . ",
'" . addslashes($post['message']) . "', $post[enablesmilies], $post[signature],
'" . addslashes($post['ipaddress']) . "', $post[iconid], $post[visible], $totalattachments)
");


replace with


if ($foruminfo[forumid] != 10)
{
// Show Signature
$sigfield = "showsignature,";
$sigvalue = "$post[signature],";
}

// ### POST NEW POST ###
$DB_site->query("
INSERT INTO " . TABLE_PREFIX . "post
(threadid, parentid, title, username, userid, dateline, pagetext, allowsmilie,
$sigfield ipaddress, iconid, visible, attach)
VALUES
($threadinfo[threadid], $parentid, '" . addslashes($post['title']) . "',
'" . addslashes($post['postusername']) . "', $bbuserinfo[userid], " . TIMENOW . ",
'" . addslashes($post['message']) . "', $post[enablesmilies], $sigvalue
'" . addslashes($post['ipaddress']) . "', $post[iconid], $post[visible], $totalattachments)
");


Personally I'd be more inclined to use the first option as this is really a pretty basic template mod that doesn't need to be updated when you update your vb version.

Installed and working a treat, thanks again all.

PS, Do you think someone should put this in the mini hacks section??

Glad it worked for you, it's a template mod, so it should probably be posted at vbulletintemplates.com.

If you want to post it as your mod, have at her!

Hi All

I have still got this thread installed on my board and am trying to get it to work with more that one forum!!!! I have tryed to change the the following:
<if condition="$thread[forumid] != 10">
to
<if condition="$thread[forumid] != 10, 11">
or
<if condition="$thread[forumid] != 10,11">

and also to
<if condition="$thread[forumid] != 10">
<if condition="$thread[forumid] != 11">

But I get Parse error! :disappointed:

Can someone point me in the correct direction PLEASE.
Thanks in advance.

<if condition="($thread[forumid] !=41) OR ($thread[forumid] !=84)">
This should be an AND, like it is now you say "if not 41 OR not 84", this is always true because it is never 41 and 84 at the same time.
