Nice hack.

I had the same problem here. Is there a solution?

I notified the guys over at vBulletin, here is the solution they came up with http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/bugs3...iew&bugid=1662

Works a treat. ;)

hi,

I got an error when saving usergroup permitions.

Warning: mysql_real_escape_string() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given in /includes/class_core.php on line 635

Very nice mod -- thank you!

One minor problem: If you have a joinable group, then when a user is a member of that group they will get whatever the sig limits are in that group. As far as I can tell, there is no way to disable the sig limits applying on just that group (if you disable them on the joined group, then the user has no sig limits at all, regardless of their main group settings).

-V

Permissions are inherited if the primary usergroup allows membergroups.
This is how the permissions system does work.

I don't think I made myself clear on this. The way permissions usually work with multiple groups for a user is they get the best of either group. So if one group says 15K attachments and the other says 20k, a user in both groups gets 20k.

Are you saying that if one group has 4 lines and the other has 5 lines, the user will get 5 lines? If so, then I cold just set the extra group to 1 line and they will always get the setting of their primary group.

-V

> Are you saying that if one group has 4 lines and the other has 5 lines, the user will get 5 lines?
Yes, as 5 is greater than 4.

do you have any idea on what could be causing the error I reported in my previous post? and how to correct it?

No idea. Feel free to send me an ACP login and i'll take a look.
I'd also need the userid of one user where it doesn't work as it should.

Thanks for a great plugin.

I had to add the following line to make it count [center] and other alignment tags.

$siglines += fetch_character_count($line_parsed_sig, '<div');

I may be blind, but here is my question.

In the readme.txt file, it says
But WHERE is that file located? I can only see <product-siglimits.xml>

thank you nice one

I ask the same question. I want to use the plugin but nothing works... (see attachments)

When I install it, I get a quick glance at an error message.

Could there be more detailed install instructions?

PS: I'm using 3.5.0... Not .1

It would be great if there was a way to force ALL users to update their signature upon login .or something... This way, this hack would work on ALL users, and not just the new signature updaters

<font size="3">Important notice for vBulletin 3.5.1</font>
This Hack is not compatible with tihs vBulletin Version, you must disable the product.

thanks Andreas for notification
hope to see update for 3.5.1

thanks man

ZIP updated, fixed bitfield XML attached as well.

thanks man

Great Jop & nice work

Updated .....................

& the usergroup problem haas been solved
( only re-uploading "bitfield_siglimits.xml" file & U are gone )

Thanks for the update bro! :)

where i must put this xml? i must reinstall the plugin? Or not?

Bitfield and CPNav XMLs always go to includes/xml

Thanks for the speedy solution.

just to let you know it works with the 2 updated files, the hotfix :)

It's actually just one file that has been updated ;)

my bad :)

The updated XML file fixed the bitfield problem in the ACP, but I'm getting these kinds of errors when browsing threads:

When I disable this product, they go away.

To fix this, make sure that only valid URLs get posted, edit Plugin "Derefer/External Link Check" and add a @ in front of parse_url() tu supress the warning or disable this Plugin (you will lose the ability to check for external URLs)

That did it :) Thank you :D

What does the "precedence" paremeter in your XML serve for?

Normally higer values would be taken. To be able to have 0=Unlimited, it must be made sure that 0 overrides all other values - this is what precedence is for.

Salve!
If the image limit is three the hack will not allow to have three pictures in the signature. The error-message always says they are too big in size or data.
Does someone have an idea? Maybe a workaround?

Stephan

Can you give more specific information:
What is the exact message?
What are the exact limits set (width, height, filesize, amount)?

It will take the combined dimensions. If you have 100x150 set, than the three images combined can't go beyond that.

One of my favorite features. :D

Salve!
The message:
The exact limits:
Stephan

Edit:
I know. But it does not work anyway.

OK. And which images did you try to include?

Salve!
An example:
http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b3...allylarry1.jpg

The only thing I can think of is that your hack adds the heights of the images, too?
If that is the case, how can i change it?

Stephan

Hmm, I set the same limits, tried the same image - works just fine for me.

Salve!
You have to place it in the same line for three times.
I calculated:
8.13 x 3 = 24.39 (kb)
90 x 3 = 270 (px width)

Stephan

If they are all in the same line, yes.

But as the software can't determine how they will be displayed on the users browser, it has to take worst case into account: every image in a "new line".

That's 90 * 270, which is over the limit of 468 x 120.
