Limit Links In Signature

This version is for 3.6.x only, if you'd like to use it with 3.8.x, click here!

DESCRIPTION

In short, this hack allows you to set a maximal number of allowed links in signatures for each user group. If the user is previewing or saving the signature with more links than allowed, it returns an error message with the current number of links and the allowed one.

Note that this hack does also have any effect when the user has a secondary (member) group. The permissions of users whose secondary (member) group is allowed to use more links than the primary group will be taken. So, if a user is in primary user group "Registered" with 2 links allowed and in secondary group "Verified" with 3 links allowed he is allowed to have 3 links in signature (if the user group option 'Allow Users to have Member Groups' is set to Yes).

The allowed number of links will be shown in the 'Signature Rules' box (if you do the template change).

STATISTICS

File Uploads: 2
File Changes: 0
Template Changes: 1
Products to Install: 1
Time to Install: ~ 2 minutes

FEATURES

Configuration Options per user group
- Maximal number of links in signature (int)

Done. ;)

INSTALLATION

- Upload files from the upload folder
- Import the product via ACP > Manage Products > Import
- Do the template change (can be found within the ZIP file!)

CONFIGURATION

Note that by default (after installation) the values are set to 0, means all user groups do not have any limitations unless you edit the permissions!

To set/edit the allowed number of signature links go to "Manage Usergroups", edit the desired usergroup by scrolling down to the "Signature" box where you'll find the new permission setting. Enter 0 to not limit the number of links. If you do not want to allow links in general, set the option 'Allow Link BBCode' to No.

Looks good - question though - Say Registered Member group will have simply 1 link per siggy... If the Member already has 2 links - will the system notify Member to edit signature?

Anyway - thanx for the sharing ;)

Hey PoetJA-1975,

unless the user isnt previewing or trying to save his signature, the script wont 'see' the amount of links in the user's signature.

Nice addition, and definitely worthy of default featurage!

Thanks. :)

It's a nice idea though and is worth a thought for future releases. :)

A suggestion: If we set permissions for per usergroup and/or by post counts, it would be great!

~Installed.

It does not work with 3.7.2 - It didn't modify the MySQL database and after modifying it myself it didn't stick. Too tired to look deeper into it.

Yeesh... too bad. Looks like there is no other hack that does this kind of thing for vb 3.7.2.... thanks for the fun while it lasted...

Any chance this will be updated to work again? 3.7.3 here and it's still not working.

CLUB AMPLE

i would like to see this in future updates too! competing with other social networks is hard enough without a tons of their links showing up.. and you dont want to limit the characters too much... so please someone make this work for 3.7

StormBreaker

10-24-2008 07:51 PM

Me to want it to work with 3.7 :(

Let me know if there is a working hack for 3.8

Milez

05-18-2009 09:58 AM

Wow me too...I think a lot of people want this for 3.8.x as this is a really useful mod.

JessicaS

This would be really useful for me. Is there any chance of an update or similar mod?

gr8, installed. excellent mod !

HeyMe

08-02-2009 11:00 AM

If this in no longer supported, someone should make a similar mod. I hope the reason no one did it yet is not "copyright", this fascist copyright can be tiring.

It's just a modification to make vB do something using open source material. Just update it & give credits to the original author!

First a huge Sorry goes out to everyone who had to be so patient to wait for me to update this modification!

I've been pretty busy the last months. I have updated it to vb 3.8.x now: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=220943

Enjoy!
