all working now, mabey an idiots guide included in the zip would help ?

so anyway, i have just restricted the admin permissions to allow no more than 5 lines of text, tested it by adding 10 lines of text, saved, checked and im displaying all 10 lines of text..

do i have to start editing the plugin code dude ?

or does it just not work..

i must say with such an undetailed readme, its hard to figure out if your not a tech wizard and just a humble lorry driver....

Great i will use this when i move to 3.5 :)

The limits on my board seems to be working fine.

But I now always get an error flash up then i save a usergroup. (see attachment)

I have only just noticed this, so I am assuming it must be to do with the sig-limit plugin

EDIT: Just tested: If i remove the bitfield_siglimits.xml file.. that error goes away

@GoNzOO
Hmm, which instructions do you need?
I thought I mentioned everything that is necessary in the Readme ...
Also, if the limit is set to 5 lines you should not be able to enter 10 lines.
Does your Account have any additional Usergroups?
Did you edit the Signature in ACP or through profile.php?
If you edit it in ACP/MCP there will be no checks.

@Mith
For some reason the Bitfield cache did not get rebauild, see Post #32 (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=32).
Call that URL and it should work afterwards.

thanks i got it working ok now,
you just need to explain in total n00b when i come along... :ermm:

when everything is in place, here are the things you can see - in the attachments,

img 1: the admincp Edit Usergroups
img 2: the userCP Edit Signature

btw, there is nothing to show in the usercp if that user have nothing entered in the permissions...

Yes, the Text is just shown when there are Restrictions - don't think it is necessary to show when there are none.
But the Images Text should not shown up when [img] is disabled anyway :)

easy, in the "profile_editsignature_start" hook:replaced by

Yeah, I know - that was more a mental note to myself ;)

yeah, sure, i know... but for the mortals here, i have to show i'm helping you.. a little... ;)

Kirby, running this code worked thanks:

I have a suggestion to make this sig limiter nigh on perfect:
I need this to check that current users are within the limits I have set, and if they aren't it needs to take them to their signature to put it right (perhaps with a large message explaining the rules and what they need to do to change it)

Thanks for your hard work

Hmm, that requires a bit more work ... i'll take a look into that, but don't expect anything that does what you want being release any time soon.

Also add that you can ban some sites being used to host like geocities.com ugh

Disable external URLs.

Edit: BTW Kirby, small gramatical issue: the 3 "then"s you have in the Posting Rules under Edit Signature should be "than". Would it also be possible to set a seperate setting for the amount of smilies that can be used in Signatures? When I set the allowed number of images, I mean those set using the [img] tag. I don't want to set a limit on the number of smilies a user can implement.

Big time HOTM, way to go Kirby.

@Zain Faffer
Maybe ...

@acidburn0520
Hmm, checking the # of Images is done by vBulletin itself - and it does not differentiate between Smilies and Images.
But it should be possible to get around this.

OK, I've corrected the spelling, separated Images and Smiles, added a new setting for Smilies - but I am not sure if this does work correctly already.
Gonna have to test this tomorrow, as I am in a hurry to leave at the moment.

Goody :)

Thank you for a speedy reply and fix... I wish more hack authors were like you.

* acidburn0520 eagerly awaits update

I've updated the phrases to be a little more "vBulletin-esque". :classic:

I'm attaching an updated product .xml file because I tried to export the product phrases in a separate .xml file and it didn't work.. Absolutely nothing has changed in this file apart from the phrases, all credit goes to Kirby.

Let me get this straight. Do you set the signature limit settings via the Admin CP, via Phrases, or via the Plugin XML?

AdminCP via Usergroup settings.

Can you excempt any usergroup you want from the signature limits?

Yes you may.

The max font size is in pixels or is it HTML font size? I have this installed and am getting reports of people saying it tells them the font is too large.

HTML font size, eg. the Option for [size]

Weird, then, that the default is 10 when the max HTML size is 7.

BTW, Kirby, EXCELLENT job :)

Hmm, the default should be zero for all Values ...

Wonder if everything works on RC3? I got everything works but seem it didn't detect filesize, width, and height.

I am also wondering if this works with RC3 as, we set our permissions in the usergroups, to allow them to use images, we turn on sigs, but the sigs will only show up if we turn on the [img] file. Now the only other way around this would be to not allow text sigs for our normal users at all, but we are looking to allow [img] for some groups and just text sigs for others.

@RivaCom
This is not possible as 0=No Limit

@SNOWCRAZE
getimagesize() might fail on certain images.
URL?

Even if I limit the size of the images it still doesn't seem to work.

Should work.
Is the User where it does not work a member of several Usergroups?

The directions didn't say anything about that.

Mr Kirby,

I like what you have done with Internal URLs. But say I only wanted users to link images from photobucket.com or imageshack.us but not somepornsite.com.

Is there a way to do the same for hotlinking as you did with links?

Thank you.
Ms. Brinnie

Nope only members, I limit the image to 1 by 1 pixel which should basicly eliminate thier pictures. But they still come up, they also beat the only 1 pictured allowed rule.

Seems to work just fine?

Btw.: Just noticed a Typo in the error, lol.

i have tried the font size setting and kept it at 2. All times its getting bypassed. Dunno how. The member is of one usergroup only(using a test user) and even if i choose font size 7 from the dropdown for fonts it still takes that.
The external link and lines is coming all right(on exceeding the error comes but the font is not working at all :S

here are the images
