A nice link in the post which allows moderators, super moderators and admins to edit the signature of other users. There is also protection to stop the user changing the signature of other admins and moderators. A nice tick box is also present to allow you to suspend the signature without having to type in the message.

Hack suggested by Matt.

Last updated 21st January 2002 14:25 GMT

Updated to allow the original admin, ie the person with userid 1 to edit the sigs of any user via this interface instead of having to go to the admin panel. Sorted a bug with this that only let the person with userid 1 update.

Please everyone download the file and apply the changes to moderator.php again

and a purdy screenshot to show you what it looks like.

Thankyou!! :)

I have installed and seem to be getting a javascript error for some reason?

www.charmed-boards.com is my site if you want to see if there is any obvious reason for that happening?

Can't get this to work, it won't add the session and userid to the url correctly.........

Ver 2.2.0 :)

good hack:)

whoops my bad

my bad change the Edit Sig bit to EditSig within the javascript function that you added to showthread. I added a space that shouldn't have been there.

updated documentation

That did it. Great hack!

JC

TheCaver whats the url to a thread on your board.

Ok it works now but I have a few comments ;)

- I just suspended someones sig and (a) it didn't show the suspended message, (b) I had no way of unsuspending that sig

- It said "Blah blah blah's sig has been changed to" and then didn't show that it had been changed to suspended.

- A little "Close Window" link would be great too

If I think of anything else I will say ;)

PPN, it works now, thanks!

Matt, I would assume that it just changes the text of the sig to the message, it would be up to the user to correct the sig ?

JC

you added the editsig_suspended template right??

Yup I added that :)

are you able to edit the signature to have another value without any problems?

or is their problems with that also.

Matt to the editsig_done template add the following code after $signature

make sure to remove the space between java and script.

I changed someones sig fine. It was just when I suspended another persons sig that it didn't show anything where their sig was.

ok go check now that there is definately some text in the
editsig_suspend template and you added the template to the sets that are use on your board.

Thats the only thing that would cause the value of signature to be empty.

There is definately text in there.

open up index.php and add
below the require("./global.php");

if your right then nothing should show up :p

i'll be hitting refresh on your board waiting for it.

Added it :)

And as far as I know I can't see anything :p

OH OH OH!

I have it as editsig_suspended for some reason.

Still doesn't do anything to the persons signature though :(

you renamed the template to editsig_suspend then?

Yes, if I suspend someone now should it work?

yeppers

YEP!! It works!

Now what do I do about unsuspending, I mean they can't edit their sig whilst it is suspended can they?

If they can thats the next thing that needs changing ;) and the ability to unsuspend :) If possible?

A huge thanks for what you have done so far! :D

those options aren't really feasable as the unsuspend would involve adding another column to the user table to store the old sigs and that would probably take up alot of room on a large board like yours.

I could add them not being able to change it, but to sort it an admin would have to edit the signature to another value.

I just wanted to say a HUGE thankyou from all the staff at Charmed Boards! This new feature has really really helped us get the board loading much faster! And keeping it tidy! So thankyou!!!!

thats cool to hear, seems a pretty cool way to save people from doing extra work, especially on large boards like your own.

we have been looking for a hack like this. My admin installed this hack today.
But we get a JavaScript error. I downloaded the hack last night, and then made sure that I had the latest as I saw you updated some stuff.

website is- www.board.mr2faq.com

Hello? any help here?

you missed out this stage

Sorry, I had that JavaScript in and then I removed it for some reason.

But your version has a bit more in it than what I first used.

Thank you very much. It works like a dream now. Very Very nice

It works great... but when the pages load I am still getting JavaScript errors.

The error is : script error...'add' is undefined

your not meant to paste in the add bit between the two functions :)

you were meant to find the aol function then after it "add" the other function

Cool... I see nowhere on this site that one had to actually be smart! :)

I really like this Hack.

thanks, i use it for convience for people who have super long signatures or ones with lots of images.

This is a great hack to use. I don't have it installed on my board, yet, but it's on one I mod and I LOVE IT! Makes it a lot easier to fix problem sigs without having to bother the admin.

Thanks!

I do not see the point of the "Suspend Signature" feature.

The member can just go back into their profile and change their sig again.

:confused:

It was just to enter some text to explain that it was suspended and maybe for them to get the idea.

I will start a continuation of this hack to allow signatures to be suspended for a user and unsuspended via the Admin Panel, this hack will then be able to make use of this feature.

I would really like that Suspending Sigs function... it would be just the thing.

If you could set it to last a certain amount of time and automatically end (and change the sig to something saying 'Sig re-enabled').

I am just wondering ... is there any way I (admin) can check which moderator changed a sig?
