Signature only on first post [Archive]

Signature only on first post VB3.5

This will cause each user's signature to be shown only on their first post on each page.

Hi i was wondering if theres a hack where peoples sigs only show once per page?

In the postbit or postbit_legacy template,

Find :

<if condition="$post['signature']">

And replace it with this one:

<if condition="$post['signature'] AND !$vboptions['shownsigs'][$post[userid]] AND $vboptions['shownsigs'][$post[userid]] = true">

There can be only one ! ~ The Highlander

Script works great.

Just a sidenote... there is a catch with the Quick Reply box.
Once you use Quick Reply and post, your sig will appear.
The next time you load the page, the sig is gone.
No big deal. ;)

Yes sir, you are correct, this definately does happen.

How could be go about fixing this?

For those who cannot make it work, you should edit BOTH postbit and postbit_legacy! If you edit only postbit_legacy, the chance is it will not work because postbit template is used.

For those having trouble with signatures in quick replies. Open showthread template and search for
<if condition="$bbuserinfo['signature']">
<div style="float:$stylevar[right]"><label for="cb_signature"><input type="checkbox" name="signature" value="1" id="cb_signature" tabindex="5" checked="checked" />$vbphrase[show_your_signature]</label></div>
</if>
And delete that.

Yeah, that doesn't actually suppress the "display" of subsequent signatures for others...

...what it does is uncheck/hide a poster's "Show your signature" checkbox underneath the QuickReply panel.

I just applied that change, and was the first reply in a thread (via QuickReply) and my signature DID NOT show up at all on the refresh. (It should appear, as it was my first time in that thread.)

I'm going to revert back, since that change is not what a user would expect (especially if they have a sig and expect for it to appear.)

I'm okay with it appearing you that first time after a QuickReply, since after a refresh (and immediately for everyone else) -- it only appears in the user's first post.

But revpolar's "fix" for the QuickReply issue is overkill and doesn't actually address the issue properly.

The issue is in how QuickReply refreshes immediately and doesn't reflect what a "real" refresh would show...

02-04-2006, 12:40 AM

I should say though, that otherwise, this hack appears to be working fine for me in vB 3.5.3 (with both the generic vB skin as well as my customized 3rd party one.) Thanks!

That's cool :D

This is a very simple edit.

Ideas:

- exclude usergroups or choose usergroups.
This can be done in the template also but not to handy for quick change.

- User choice if show every time or not.
This is also a simple template edit, but adding the userfield would move it out of a template hack. (not ruled out of working on, but must post a new hack in another area of the forums)

I had thoughts of expanding this hack: (would make it plugin w/ uploads)

AdminCP options:
- enable / disable per usergroup
- enable / disable per user

More feedback is cool. I may have no clue what I am talking about :D

Is there a way to change this, so that it shows the signature on the FIRST post of a thread ALWAYS, and the LAST post made by a user, rather than the first post a user has made????

So, thier signature shows on the last post they always make to a thread, but does not on the first one if they have multiple posts

This won't apply for the thread starter, who will show on the first post of the thread, and thier last post as well...

At some point, every user's first post *is* the last post. So who cares if readers see it now... or see it later? Sigs will get "read" an equal amount regardless. (IOW, it's merely an aesthetic difference.)

Is there a way to have it show once per THREAD instead of once per PAGE?

is this possible?

Edited both templates. 3.5x with many hacks. Works great. One sig per page as expected as opposed to the product hack that parsed errors on editing a post. It works with all mods I've added. The only thing one might see is sometimes a page refresh clears the unwanted signature should it display. Guess it's just a tad slow in kicking in ;)

Thanks!
