I apologize for not reading every post in this thread but in order for this hack to take effect for all current sigs, do have to request all my users to update their sigs? That'd be my best guess and thanks in advance.

Thanks for the awesome hack! As someone else already said, this should be a standard option in vB.

I tried installing this plugin but would like to totally prevent certain usergroups from having signatures completely. It seems that if you turn on IMG tag support globally, every usergroup can upload. Does anyone know how to totally remove the ability to have IMG tags just for certain usergroups?

is there a possibility to force/motivate/advice my users to change their signature according to the new limitations with avoiding to remove all signatures by database update queries...?

just an idea,what about adding an option so we can force certain usergroups to have a certain image in their signature?

On that same note, I would ike to be able to put in a signature for all mods that they can't edit and always shows regardless if they have the option on to show their sig or not.

Will this work with vb3.1?

No, as vBulletin 3.1 does not exist :)

He probably meant by 3.0.10. ;)

This is a vBulletin 3.5 Hack and does not work with vBulletin 3.0

Thanks for the hack, I've been waiting for this!

Q. How can I check all the current signatures of my forum and disable (clear) the ones that don't match with the limits specified?

in some of my threads I get an error: Warnung: parse_url(http:////http://www.kampfkunst-board...ost15.html):): Unable to parse url in /includes/class_bbcode.php(149) : eval()'d code (Zeile 38)

http://www.kampfkunst-board.info/for...ng-tsun-35312/

When I deactivate the extended signature limits hack, it works fine...

This is a known problem and can be fixed by making sure that only valid URLs get posted.

what do you mean with valid urls, please? What is a valid/invalid url? And how can invalid urls occur such errors? I mean, the hack should be resistant to "invalid urls".

is an invalid URL for example.

I am afraid, but there is no way to avoid this error.

Look for the line with parse_url and change it to $url = @parse_url($rightlink);

It keeps the warnings from popping up when a noobie posts a broken link.

Yes, it supresses the warnings. But as said, there is no way to avoid them.

what a pity...seemed to be a usefull hack for my board...so no use with SEO urls.

As said, you can supress the error by putting @ in front of parse_url, so you won't see it.
Or you can disable the one Plugin (you will lose the ability to check for external links).

I think i'll update the ZIP as this complaint comes up quite often.

do you think that you could add to the hack my little request?

Which request?

Hey,

I must say I love this Mod but I doesn't work right for me. I assigned all my groups to allow 450w*300h but when I tested by adding 5 images (300*20) it said my sig was too large. So I first thought I had them all in one line, I then hit enter between each image to drop the image down to the next line, but the error still says my sig is too larger. Do you guys think this is a bug in the program or an install problem? Also, I followed the instruction in the zip file.

vB version: 3.5.1

I think it's the way it calculates the size:
300 x 5 = 1500
20 x 5 = 100

So your image size was 1500x100...

As pointed out, the "accumulated size" is 1500 x 100, which is over the limit.
Detecting how the images are positioned and calculating the size based on this would be a lot more complicated.

Andreas, I have noticed something. Don't you suppose the text "Posting Rules" has to be renamed to "Signature Rules"?

It is "Posting Rules" everywhere: in posts, signatures, usernotes, etc.

You're right. It's supposed to say "Signature Rules" in signatures, not Posting Rules. Know what I mean? :p

No, I don't understand what you mean.
It is supposed to say Posting Rules.

Installed. Works great so far.

I installed this and I see the options in the Usergroups but I set the max size to 300x100 but soem onf the images I see now are over that 400x300 etc... how do I fix that??

How should this hack manage images?

I have set it so that users can't have images in their posts unless part of a specific user group. But when I log-on to the forum under my test account (which should not be allowed to use images) I can enter the url for an image, but instead of the image being displayed (as normal) it just shows the url of the image.

I had expected it would give a similar error to the one that appears if a user tries to use more lines than they are allowed.

That is the expected behaviour. It's the same thing that would happen if you did not have this Hack installed and disabled [IMG] for Signatures.

Btw: How exactly did you disable images?

I simply had 0 in the various image option boxes, such as size, width etc.

I have an unusual problem here. I followed the instructions and every time I test this hack out via 'Edit Signature' in 'UserCP', the hack doesn't do anything. No errors no nothing...

Thanks in advance for the help.

What is the query that will clear all signatures from the vb3_usertextfield table?

Does anyone have the query that will drop the data currently in the signature field of the vb2_usertextfield table?

Is there a way to prevent users from entering URL's and having them be automaticaly parsed (in their signature)? I've disallowed linking to external URL's. I have HTML in sigs turned off. I disallow the URL bbcode tag. Yet, if I enter a URL in the signature, it is parsed and shows up as a hyperlink in the post. Am I missing a setting?

It's automatically throwing in the URL bbcode, which is supposed to be disabled. Yet, it parses it anyway if you type in a raw URL.

Really could use sme help on a query to remove the signature from all my users. Anyone have the syntax?

Sorry. I would help if I could.

Oh Master Coders?

I do not seem to get the box listing what is allowable

it should look like that but i just have the standard vb permissions box
