There is a setting for controling max. number of images.

Just a quick question;

If you enter 0, does it disable the extension itself (so a user can enter whatever she/he wants), or does 0 mean, they can't enter anything, at all?

Also,

Say, if I enter a value of 3, does it calculate all of the 3 images, to make sure they're within the max height and width? Or does it just calculate for one image, so that a user could have, like in my case it's max 350x100, a user could have 3 350x100 images next to each other?

Thanks :)

0 = No limit

Same Problem for me. Is there a way to fix it ? i love this mod but i couldn?t use it in our forums until this problem isn?t fixed

Fix = make your Users only post valid URLs :)

Does this require HTML in sigs to be disabled or can it check it if an image is linked like < img src = " bla . jpg " >

:) Thanks for a great hack

*push* :(
and one question is there the same hack for 3.0.X ?

It?s impossible to tell 1.700 users to post valid URLs, they would take a note of it but then forget it in the next minute... and some users didn?t really know what valid URL?s are because most of them just now how to turn on their pc.

@KirbyDE ... is there anyway to have this mod and only allow the links to work in the sig's. MY site I have live links turned off for security reasons and we were going to allow sig's only hosted on our server...thanks to your mod. Only issue is once this is installed it bypasses the BBCode shutoff for the [URL] and allows live links to be posted in threads.

Hmm ... how did you disable [url]?

AdminCP..vBulletin Options..BBCodes..remove the check from

Links ([URL], [EMAIL], [THREAD], [POST])

instead of a live link you get just the link with the [url] tag on each end. If you can suggest anyway to not allow live links in the threads and only in the sigs so your mod would work...that would be great...

Don't think this is possible. Anyway, i'll take a look when I got mood to do so ;)

Any languages file ? I don't see any text

Interestingly enough I installed this on my forum and now signatures are screwed up..

Users who try to edit their sigs and hit submit everything appears fine and then their sig is gone. I cannot even edit it from the admincp.

I've uninstalled this hack but it still wont let me edit a sig....

Probably you've done something wrong while installing the hack otherwise it works perfect! Also check your vBulletin version, too.

@UOXDev
Well, if it even does not work after uninstalling this Hack, then the problem is somewhere else.

On the 'valid urls' issue.

I just had this crop up today twice.. No way you can force everyone to use valid urls, you can get complete destruction inside threads (they are rendered completely unreadable with php errors and duplicate header errors) rendering a thread unusable by anyone after them. It definately can be a security issue since any user can register and create a hassle in threads. I've turned off that one section for now and I'm hoping there will be a workaround for those who post http:slashslashhttp:slashslash in their posts back to back (on purpose or by accident).

:D

Sure there is a workaround:
Put @ in front of the parse_url() call and the errors will not show up, but is impossible to avoid them.

If you set a usergroup to have no limit (0) for number of images in their signature, it doesn't overwrite the vbulletin "maximum images per post/signature" setting.

Is there any way to fix this? :)

Am I correct in assuming that if I leave the url plugin disabled on this, that it will ONLY affect the "Links to external Websites" functionality and the rest will work properly?

I can live with that, since I don't mind if people link to external sites in their sigs/sigimages.

Exactly

Unfortunately, with 73,000 members I don't have much control over what they post. If someone posts something with an invalid URL, then the whole message becomes unreadable and it posts an error.

Any chance the code could be modified to ignore bad URLs or is this just something we have to live with if we want to use this mod?

@MPDev
As said before, you can supress the errors by using @parse_url instead of just parse_url, but I don't think there would be an easy way to avoid them.

Ah, ok; I read a couple pages more, but must have missed the comment; thank you for the rapid response.

Installed just like that! POOF!

I have one question for Kirby. Once I installed it, and enforce the rules on users who have already large images or many lines? I set this up and I love it...but tell me...does it only work on users who UPDATE OR make their sigs?

Yes, the checks are only performed when updating the signature.

Is there a way to enforce it on everyone...even the ones who already have sigs?

No. Not yet at least.

Ok. Thanks for the quick reply

Great mod! Just one thing I've noticed though...

I've disabled the use of [url] tags which works fine when a user manually types them in. However if a user just types www.vbulletin.org for example without the [url] tags then vBulletin automatically adds the tags when the sig is saved.

Hope that explanation makes sense. Thanks.

Does anybody else have this problem? Is there a fix?

You could mass-delete all sigs, forcing them to create new ones, but I think you would just tick everyone off...

Tick TAINT the word for it.

We did and it was no big deal, but we only have 14,000 active members.

What I did was make a copy of the userid/signature fields into a new table and then gave the mods access through the MCP to retrieve the data from that new table if anyone asked for it.

I think we had about 10 requests.

Screenies please?

There are some in the thread ... somewhere.

"Derefer/Detect External URLs" was generation an error on one of my topics in which a user replied, and so i had to deactivate it. The user had a url code on his signature:
The error was:
Hope this helps.

This is a known problem. Make sure everybody posts only valid URLs and it will be fine.

this doesn't check the number of links in the sig right? i wanted to impose a max of 2 links but i can't find a hack like this. is there some hack like this for 3.5?

cooool
Have Full Control over Users Signatures
thanks very much

^ Bump..
I was unsure whether or not you'd seen this.
