Holy Jesus! Dismounted, I really don't know what to say. You have filled up my 2 mod requests within just a few minutes. Man you're really something. Thank you very much! :D

Is there any difference between this simple template edit and your addition ?

interesting, maybe i use this hack only if you build some features like the Admin can force an usergroup to post their sign only once through ACP ...

Not really but I prefer this one since it's a product and got a couple of more features.

Exactly so you need to find out which hack that's causing the issue or better yet, just contact about authors.

Shows this hack the signature on the first or the last post? Or can we choose for it...

Yes, this is user chosen, not forced.

Don't use my edits, find:

HTML Code:

<if condition="$post['signature']">





<!-- sig -->

<div>

__________________<br />

$post[signature]

</div>

<!-- / sig -->

<else />

$scr_nosig

</if>

Replace With:

HTML Code:

<if condition="$post['signature']">

<if condition="$firstsig == 0">

<!-- sig -->

<div>

__________________<br />

$post[signature]

</div>

<!-- / sig -->

</if>

<else />

$scr_nosig

</if>

Did you apply edits to postbit and postbit_leagcy?

Awesome! My members were asking for this just this week! Installed!

Added note to anyone else before they say it is not working:

If someone replies using "Quick Reply", their signature will show up a second time until the page is refreshed.

Snake

01-16-2007 07:11 AM

Yeah I have just noticed that as well. Could it be a bug?

Dismounted

01-16-2007 07:22 AM

No, it is not a bug. It's just the way vBulletin processes things. I'll try find a solution though.

Errr, what's wrong? Read the ReadMe file.....

WOW man I've been wanting something like this for a long time. I think every forum should have this. Some forums I visit have members with sig's that are out of control. Video's playing extra large pictures. I feel bad for dial up users which there are many still out there. Well thanks for a great mod.

Oh one thing is there any way possible to set this as the default or even only option for new members as well as present members?

If not can this be an added feature in the next release or something?

To do this, edit the plugin 'Set Enabled/Disabled' and replace the whole plugin with:

PHP Code:


		
			
global $vbulletin, $sig_shown;



$field = 'field' . $vbulletin->options['signature_only_shown_once_field'];

if (!isset($sig_shown[$post['userid']]) OR $vbulletin->userinfo[$field] != 'Yes')

{

    $firstsig = 0;

    if ($post['signature'])

    {

        if ($vbulletin->userinfo[$field] == 'Yes' OR $vbulletin->userinfo[$field] == '')

        {

                $sig_shown[$post['userid']] = 1;

        }

    }

}

else

{

    $firstsig = 1;

}

Then edit the custom field and put 'Yes' as the top option.

        }
    }
}

{

}

Thank you so very much. That was easy enough. What if I remove the answer NO will that keep them from Selecting NO?

Well I tried it and it worked. So I guess that if you install with this modification then you can set it so the members can only select yes and this way keep them from displaying the sig in each reply. I know there is a add on to do this but I rather have the control like this incase I decide to allow some to use it

Dismounted

01-28-2007 07:23 AM

Yes.

Forgive me for not understanding, but how do I know what the Field ID should be?

Thanks!

Nevermind, I left it blank and it works fine.

Dismounted

02-03-2007 11:42 PM

Field ID is specified when you create your custom field, it should list it's field id after you create it.

Just FYI, if a poster (with a video or large picture sig) has many posts on a page, it wouldn't be any slower for a dial-up user to download the page than if that same poster only had one post on the page. It's not like the page has to download the same exact thing every time. It downloads it once, and just displays it multiple times.

(IE: if I presented an HTML page showing one single image 20 times, it doesn't download 20 copies of that file for a reader, and the page doesn't take 20 times longer to download. It downloads that image once, the web browser is simply told to display it 20 times.)

I still like this (user-configurable) signature option, however, because it can make the page easier to read and cuts down on the sig clutter you are talking about. But it won't speed up downloading time for dial-up users, per se. It may speed up browser window rendering speed. But not downloading time.

Just wanted to make that clear.

That said, I have switched over from the Zachariah's mod over to this (user-configurable) one. I like giving my users the choice, and I (personally) like the cleaner display afforded by "one sig per page."

Thanks for sharing, Dismounted!

This confused me a bit too... the ReadMe.htm simply says "Adjust the settings to meet your needs." For a future version you may want to elaborate in the install instructions.

Would like to see this work with UserGroup Permissions (ie: which groups can and cannot change the preference.) As well as an AdminCP way to easily/quickly toggle the default selection.

Thanks again!

I have a german speaking forum and thus the options in UserCP are 'Ja' and 'Nein' for 'Yes' and 'No'...

I had to replace 'Yes' with 'Ja' in the plugin 'Set Enabled/Disabled' and now it works :)

Thanks for the hack!

Tralala

02-23-2007 03:38 AM

I'd love to give users the ability to prevent the display of individual signatures, like say, signatures that annoy them. Give them a panel in UserCP to enter the usernames of signatures to block.

This way insistent members can go crazy with their sig, include graphics in their sig (within whatever sig limits are in place on the forum) and annoyed users could individually block any sigs they want if they get annoyed. And everybody wins.

Is that within the scope of this hack as a feature idea?

Or should I request something like this elsewhere?

Dismounted

02-23-2007 05:03 AM

I might do something like that if I get some time.

Snake

02-23-2007 05:08 PM

I think it would be the best to make a new hack for that. ;)

Tralala

02-23-2007 08:13 PM

For sure. But certainly would be appreciated.... I know lots and lots of sites who'd install and love something like that immediately!

TWTCommish

03-05-2007 01:25 AM

Installed. Everything shows up as expected, except that my choice on the User Options page simply isn't saved. Anyone else having this problem?

Dismounted

03-05-2007 03:52 AM

That would be a vBulletin problem, as this hack doesn't handle saving the option.

TWTCommish

03-05-2007 06:59 AM

I don't think I explained myself very well; it doesn't appear to do either. It doesn't "save" the option they've made, nor does it achieve the desired effect.

That aside, though, why exactly wouldn't it save the option? Other user profile fields save. I don't see why this would be different.

Dismounted

03-06-2007 05:08 AM

I have no idea, it'd probably be better to post into vBulletin.com's forum.

TWTCommish

03-06-2007 11:57 PM

They don't offer support for hacks.

Thanks anyway. I would've liked to have used this, but it seems I can't.

Dismounted

03-07-2007 04:57 AM

It isn't support for a hack, it's support for their own software as you are having a problem saving a profile field.

TWTCommish

03-07-2007 02:47 PM

All my profile fields save fine, except the one added via this hack. While I suppose it is technically possible that the problem is with their own software, then, that's one remarkable coincidence.

Snake

03-07-2007 04:18 PM

Then you have done something wrong and I'm sure of it. Go through the installation one more time and see your mistakes.

And yet, this same add-on works fine for many, many other users (myself included.) I'll follow Snake's response and suggest you either installed it incorrectly, or have some other hack that's conflicting with it.
