Images in Signatures - reward more than a given

[BlackxRam]

I am trying to find a way to limit the use of BBCODE in certain usergroups, in signatures for example.

I would like to restrict certain usergroups from posting images in signatures and allow other people TO do it. Some people like to put HUGE images in signatures or some usergroups I just don't want using them.

Is there a easy way to get this done? I tried searching the forums, but didnt find a way.

In profile.php find

if ($vboptions['maximages'] != 0)


ABOVE that ADD

if (!is_member_of($bbuserinfo, 20) AND fetch_character_count($signature, '[img') > 0)
{
$preview = 'true';
$errors[] = 'Sorry, but you are not allowed to use images in your signature';
}


FIND

if ($_REQUEST['do'] == 'editsignature')
{


BELOW that ADD

if (!is_member_of($bbuserinfo, 20))
{
$vboptions['allowbbimagecode'] = false;
}


Then only users in usergroup 20 should be able to use images.

Well what about 3 different usergroups are allowed? Im not sure but is it similar to how a Conditional in the templates would be? Im not 100%.

Could you give me an example?

Thanks for the speedy reply and assistance for sure. =)

Either you modify is_member_of() to accept multiple usergroup IDs (see this hack (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=61149)) or you can use


if (!is_member_of($bbuserinfo, 20) AND !is_member_of($bbuserinfo, 21) AND !is_member_of($bbuserinfo, 22))
{
}

I got this error

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: fetch_character_count() in /var/www/html/forums/profile.php on line 1310

My line 1310 is as follow:

if (!is_member_of($bbuserinfo, 5, 6, 7, 11) AND fetch_character_count($signature, '[img') > 0)

I have used this hack (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=61149) to accept multiple groups at once.

What can be wrong?

Ok to my above error question ... here is what I did ... tell me if I am right or wrong.

Find:
if (!is_member_of($bbuserinfo, 5, 6, 7, 11) AND fetch_character_count($signature, '[img') > 0)

ADD above:
require_once('./includes/functions_misc.php');

It works for me though.

[Andreas]

Yep, that's correct. Seems like I fortgot that fetch_character_count() is not defined in functions.php :)

[bryan09]

Ok thanks!

On top of that,

how can we allow the user to only have ONE [img] tag in it's signature?

[Andreas]

Change > 0 to > 1.
And the message should be changed too :)

[bryan09]

Failed. I tested and it still allowed more than 1 [IMG] with > 1.

[Andreas]

Hmm, should work in the way that users from usergroup id 20 are not able to use mir then 1 [img]-Tag in their signature.

[bryan09]

[Because i use the "multiple groups at once" hack too, you think that is a factor?

[bryan09]

Hey strange ...

A member not within the usergroup I set, still able to use the [IMG] tag manually. (Without clicking on the IMG button since there isn't a button). WHy is this so?
