Auto Sig

How do we mimic the VB.org signature system.

ie. Installed in sig

Developer in sig

Etc etc , this is something I would like to adopt for our members, and moderator teams. I presume its a Usergroup permission thing, with automatic code added to their sig ( i dnt need the vb.org complex version )

Any help. Ste

You could use a condition and add an image to the postbit, not sure how though :confused:

Looking at the vb.org code, it appears to be in sig.

Signature is parsed in the postbit. Display things here depending on certain conditions.

Any more specifics?

nope just wanted to know what the code would be for us to post an image of say:

Thread Starter in the signature of a user, who starts a thread.

Often as you go thru pages and pages of posts, you forget who started / created the thread. So similarly to VB.org where INSTALLEd or DEVELOPER is displayed in the postbit, we would like to replicate this

My guess (Similar to the first post on all pages mod) is that you add an extra column to the thread table and store who created the thread inside it.

Edit - Silly me...thread starter is stored in the thread table...not sure if it can normally be accessed though, maybe globalize it and then use a conditional?

Access the variable inside the postbit with a conditional.

Edit again.. Solution!

Find in postbit

HTML Code:

<!-- sig -->

                        <div>

                                __________________<br />

                                $post[signature]

                        </div>

                <!-- / sig -->

Replace...change code to fit needs

HTML Code:

<if condition="$post['signature'] OR $thread[postuserid] == $post[userid]">

                <!-- sig -->

                        <div>

                                __________________<br />

                <if condition="$thread[postuserid] == $post[userid]">

                        testing..

                </if>

                                $post[signature]

                        </div>

                <!-- / sig -->

                </if>

The if conditions may seem redundant since there's two...but the catch is if the user doesn't have a signature it won't post him as the thread starter regardless of if he is or not.

So tell me, please.

If lets say we created a watermarked image , such as: below.

Would we code:

Code:

<if condition="$post['signature'] OR $thread[postuserid] == $post[userid]">

                <!-- sig -->

                        <div>

                                __________________<br />

                <if condition="$thread[postuserid] == $post[userid]">

                        <img src="http://mywebsite.com/forum/images/thread_starter.gif">

                </if>

                                $post[signature]

                        </div>

                <!-- / sig -->

                </if>

Yes, just make sure you add an alt attribute so it validates!

thanks will give it a go, now. Presumably we can just add align=left ? without it affecting users signature? or what do you think?

Bellardia

Put it in a container if you want to style it such as a div, but since it's just an image it should be fine and align left to begin with.

Consider adding a line break after the image <br /> if you want to ensure it's on its own line.

Works a DREAM. May I use this code to release as a template hack ?

Bellardia

01-13-2009 12:44 AM

I'd prefer code I release for free be left without a name attached, if that's ok :)

TimberFloorAu

Ok only issue is.

LOL

I only want it to display the graphic in the users sig within the thread he started.

At the moment, it displays it under everyones sig, because I suppose all have started a thread at one point or another .

Any suggestions

Bellardia

01-13-2009 12:47 AM

It should only display in threads started by the user in the users sig.
$thread[postuserid] holds the userid of the member who posted that thread...not sure why something else would be the case.

Yep you are right, it was in a speciality forum I noticed the issue. All standard forums work fine !!!

So will leave it to you if you want to share this hack, I think its excellent !

Sincerely appreciate your help AGAIN !
