Looks like a nice one but I'll wait til it's out of Beta. I think it's a great idea for a hack. :)

I got a parse error in functions_showthread. This piece of code:

Sry, didnt see the posting above :nervous:

My fault, all errors fixed.

great hack :)

Thanks very much! Maybe the install instructions should be updated to reflect this? It would have saved me a lot of stress! :)

For anyone using this custom usergroups:

Did you also wrap the edit from hwtan around the replacents for:

*Installed* After some hassle. The instructions could be a bit clearer, but the hack is very good.

Things that would be great: The ability to only allow admin or other user groups to use the random sig, or choose their sig. I can see this being abused. If people change large images and stuff, it will confuse things easily. It's much better if the only thing that is randomized is a simple text quote. :)

What a nice hack.. thks! I'd like to install this on my test board, but I need a little help adding some conditionals to the code.

1 - If member is in the admin or mod usergroups, they get to use multiple sigs. That's a nice touch.

2 - If you have contributing members in some "premium" usergroup, they should have this, too. That's a useful perk to offer people who've actually donated money to support your site.

3 - Members of an age-restricted/adult-only usergroup with access to private areas could use an alternate sig inside "naughty" forums.... but those sigs wouldn't be appropriate in the more public forums where they would be seen by all the other members.

How would I set random/selectable conditions based on usergroup ID -- AND -- restrict certain (adult oriented) sigs according to specified forum IDs?

I installed this hack, but edited it to my needs. I have it set to select from 3 signature (1,2,3), removed the 'N' signature (not sure what that is). Also, the random function would not work for me whatever I tried to do.

Any idea how to integrate this with the AdminCP so I don't have to use phpMyAdmin everytime I have to change someones signature?

nope... doesn't make any sense whatsoever to me :-p but that's okay doesn't have to, i don't mind using this hack *presses the install button*

I've run into a problem after installing this hack... Noone's signatures are showing up at all now..

Any insight?

I am having the same problem

I have tried uninstalling this hack, but still cannot see any signatures on threads/posts... Not getting any errors, just not able to see sigs...

Help!

Can someone please install this hack for me? If you can help me out, please contact me via email at: Pandora@Sweet-November.Net

Thanx!

I installed this hack and it wont let me change the second signature nor would it save...it just stays on the first one.

What is wrong? Can someone help me out plz?

Okay, am gettin error messages in my threads...when I go to view them I get this:
Parse error: parse error, unexpected ',', expecting ']' in /home/pandy/public_html/boards/includes/functions_showthread.php on line 546

Can someone please look at this coding and tell me if everything is correct and if not, how can I fix it? This is from my functions_showthread.php file that we are suppose to modify for this pacific hack:
// Multiple Signatures Hack by Ethan -- Start of Code Block
// choose a random signature
if ($post['showsignature'] == 127) {
$sigtries = N;
$post['showsignature'] = rand(1, N);
while (($post['signature' . $post['showsignature']] == '') AND ($sigtries> 0)) {
$post['showsignature'] = ($post['showsignature'] % N) + 1;
--$sigtries;
}
if ($sigtries == 0) $post['showsignature'] = 0;
}
$post['signature'] = $post['signature' . $post['showsignature']];
// Multiple Signatures Hack by Ethan -- End of Code Block
// get signature
if ($post['showsignature'] AND $vboptions['allowsignatures'] AND trim($post['signature']) != '' AND (!$bbuserinfo['userid'] OR $bbuserinfo['showsignatures']) AND $sigperms[$post['userid']])
{
// Modified by Multiple Signature Hack, to uninstall change $sigcache["$post[userid]_$post[showsignature]"] to $sigcache["$post[userid]"]
if (!isset($sigcache["$post[userid]_$post[showsignature]"]))
{
$parsed_postcache['skip'] = true;
$post['signature'] = parse_bbcode($post['signature' . $post[showsignature], 'nonforum', $vboptions['allowsmilies']);

// Modified by Multiple Signature Hack, to uninstall change $sigcache["$post[userid]_$post[showsignature]"] to $sigcache["$post[userid]"]
$sigcache["$post[userid]_$post[showsignature]"] = $post['signature'];
}
else
{
// Modified by Multiple Signature Hack, to uninstall change $sigcache["$post[userid]_$post[showsignature]"] to $sigcache["$post[userid]"]
$post['signature'] = $sigcache["$post[userid]_$post[showsignature]"];
}
}

else
{
$post['signature'] = '';
}

threads on my forum are now messed up...

I am gettin these parse error messages...

Here is the link to my forum:

What kind of hack is this if u can't freaking get support?! esp from the creator themselves who created this hack???? My forum is all screwed up now...

I am now having the same problem.
If anyone got this to work, can you please help us?

Parse errors anyone shed some light on this please...

Noi signatures now after the uninstallation... what the helll....

I'm also having the same problem as urmyantichrist...I installed and no one's signatures showed up at all, and I have no uninstalled everything as far as I can tell, but still can't seem to get the signatures back...any clues?

There's a major problem with this....admin cannot edit signatures (without phpmyadmin).

Is there a way around this? :\

anyone thought of updating this for vB 3.5/3.6?
