Thanks RobAC :)

GB - I'm not sure why you would have to do that.

@Stasik:
Don't forget to edit the update query to the database, otherwise your signatur will get blank, when you just edit the profile!!!

Really nice update :D

ups... ;) i`ll modify it

New Addition - 08/01/01

After seeing what Stasik did with the button I wanted to it to my site, but I added
a little change to show the signature on the "modify profile" template along
with the button. This borrows code from the original sedit.php hack.

Check it out:
http://images.paintballcity.com/sig_pic.gif

Here's how to do it:
In member.php find:
And AFTER it add:
Next open your modifyprofile template

Replace::
With:
and copy the attached image for your "edit signature" button. If you want to change
the color all you need to do is "colorize" the image and change the HUE.

I hope you like it. :)

That is a nice hack VirtueTech...just adding the latest addition with the button, but I get a parse error in the member.php after I add your change. This may be because I am using vB2.0.3??

Also, your specified colours in the template would be better off replaced with the vB colour variables ({ tableheadbgcolor}, etc) to integrate with any style set.

Edit...I just noticed that the vB will swap those variables for the current colour values when called from a post.....how about adding this infor to your original .zip??

I have not tried this hack with vb2.0.3 yet sorry. When I upgrade I will post here.

As for your idea...I will add that. :)

I just installed it on 2.0.3. It doesn't work right. The vBCode and Smilies boxes aren't there and some of the text is the wrong color.

Yes I know check my last post. This hack is not ready for vb2.0.3 yet

Thanks...the original hack works great in 2.0.3, it is just when I add the info to the member.php for the sig to be previewed on the usercp page that I get the parse error....I am sure it won't be a hard fix, but what do I know :rolleyes:

I first installed this hack when I was running vB2.0.0 beta4, and just recently upgraded to vB2.0.3 and it works just fine for me.

When will this be avaliable for vB 2.0.3?

I think I've found a slight bug. After a user edits their sig in the sig editor it takes them back to the profile. And it shows the preview of the sig and everything there, but if they submit modifications on the preview page it deletes their sig.

I am using vB 2.0.1

I am using with version 2.0.3 no problems works fine. I add smilies, img;s text color all works fine. Using the button also
upgrade mind to use VirtueTech changes
Joey

I will posting posting a fix to that bug later Dakota - I have to run out with my family for a bit...I also have another small upgrade to somone elses Idea with the edit button.

Will post again later tonight :)

2.03 works fine www.form-kaos.com

do this

http://vbulletin.com/forum/showthrea...threadid=25056

Working great with 2.0.3 now....apart from the slight bug that Dakota found.

i have install the hack well but just a small problem when i want to preview , save or return back i have a blanck page what can i do now ????

Great work! :cool: :cool: :cool:

Installed in my 2.0.3 board like a snap!

Eaisest Hack to apply Yet

Triple THUMBS UP!!

VirtueTech

Any ideas yet on the 2.0.3 bug, to keep my signature from disappearing after a edit profile function?

fix for version 2.0.3 with problem with signature leaving after you hit submit button. Doesn't look as pretty but it works and corrects the problem. Make this change only if you have installed and are using the button on the right and the signature preview on the left in usercp profile

Find this in modifyprofile template


Replace with this

Works great broheim
Sarge

Yep, Completely Kewl!

I turned HTML in Sig on, and installed the Editor.
It works fine, but: If I uses HTML-Tags in the Sig, in the preview the Tags are shown. In the Part: Current Saved Signature in Profile it is shown right.

Where's the Problem?

Hoffi

Read my post above this is correct, to have it like before you
can do it but you lost it everytime you hit the submit button.
To do what you are talking about would take an additional field in the database which is nothing big, but it would also take a major hack in the member php file. Unless someone else knows a easier way.

Works great...thanks a lot :cool:

A solution for the Problem i have posted in this Thread:

http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showt...224#post161037

The SQL-Statement must be changed.

Hoffi

I received this same information last week from The_Sisko, just got around to trying it and it does seem to work,

Joey

Thanks

If you go to the usercp click on edit profile than on Signatur editor it shows the bug in the attachment, if you click on prewiew (also without changes) it seems OK

Aferburner what are you talking about explain yourself man, don't see anything about a attachment bug.

you dont see the green color ? and the not "converted" smilies ?

I think if I open the sig editor the first time (not the prewiew page) all signatures shall be the same ! Am I right ? My screenshot shows in the prewiew-table not the orginal signature (I dont mean the prewiew page) Do you understand me ? Sorry for the english but I am from Germany
