Show User's Signature Once Per Thread Page
 

This hack was requested here by Pyschodone. It's really simple: a user's signature is now shown only once per thread page. If another one of their posts comes along, their signature won't be shown. Really simple; just one minor code change. Haven't tested it, but it ought to work just fine.

Heh, I actually did this hack for someone a LONG while ago, but never released it. :p Good job. :)

Very nice, Commish! Thanks. :cool:

Excellent! I won't install this hack just yet, but I'll definitely bookmark it.

Ha I told you all, it was a really good Idea

and after & posts in a row it finnaly worked!
Now you have made me even more determined when I get ideas:P:)

Thanks for the hack bro!!
*hey arn't you the one at Vb.com who was doing the whold debate(if you can call it that) on religion?

Yeah, that was me. An argumentative Christian programmer. What's the world coming to? :D I'm glad you like it; it's a real natural high. I'm glad to help. :)

What about once pre page of a thread. If you go to the second page of a thread will the signature be shown?

Yes, I believe so. Which I think is good, because some people jump right to individual thread pages anyway.

Yes, it's shown once per page.

This is excellent, great to save server space.

i'm very surprised.. it's so simple..
(sorry for my english)

can u explain me why for the same effect i had do that in my older forum:

- in ShowThread.php :

find:

code :
$counter=0;
while ($post=$DB_site->fetch_array($posts) and $counter++<$perpage) {
if ($postdone[$post[postid]]) {
$counter--;
continue;
}
else {$postdone[$post[postid]]=1;}
$postbits .= getpostbit($post);
}

then insert after :

code :
$counter=0;
while ($post=$DB_site->fetch_array($posts) and $counter++<$perpage) {
if ($postdone[$post[postid]]) {
$counter--;
continue;
}
else {$postdone[$post[postid]]=1;}

find:

code :
$postbits .= getpostbit($post);
}

add after :

code :
//if user chahce contain something, so don't show the signature
if (isset($sigcache["$post[userid]"])) {$post[signature] = "";}

finaly to obtain that:

code :
$counter=0;
while ($post=$DB_site->fetch_array($posts) and $counter++<$perpage) {
if ($postdone[$post[postid]]) {
$counter--;
continue;
}
else {$postdone[$post[postid]]=1;}
//if user chahce contain something, so don't show the signature
if (isset($sigcache["$post[userid]"])) {$post[signature] = "";}
$postbits .= getpostbit($post);
}

hu... :speechless:

please explain for my brain...and knowlege.... lol

thanx

I have 2.2.9 and tried this hack and didn't work.. Can someone tell me what i need to do to make it work with 2.2.9? thanks..

Beautiful. :)

[high]* Link14716 installs. :)[/high]

Working fine in 2.3.0!

I love this hack!

is this good for 2.9?

2.2.9 works fine for me :D

installed :)

Would there be a way to do this with avatars as well (to only display once per page)?!?

2.3.2 works :D

Brilliant, thanks a lot. Installed on vB 2.3.2.

/me clicks install.

Good hack I will install later

great hack, took 2 seconds and now my threads show up twices as fast, great work! *installs

Wow that was so easy and painless, yet totally awesome at the same time.

Super cool !!
"click" installs

Thanks.....

HELPPPPPP!!!!

I installed the hack on my 2.3.0 and by mistake erased my admin functions file !!!! I cannot upload it agai because the darn Vbulletin Site download as a file not able to be worked on on a MAC G5, so I just get garbled text.

Can someone e mail me the functions as TXt or PHP !!!


HElp my site is dead now !!!

my e mail is webmaster@auto-mania.com.mx

Yes I know I am an IDIOT
Also the Vbullein site only has a download for the newer version>>>AACKKCKK !!

Works perfectly for me (running 2.29)

I corrected the mistake and also to let you know Use BBedit with OS X with the mac because the file will be wrong if you edit it with another text editor....

great hack

Sleek little addition greatly appreciated.

Is their a version of this for 3.0?

Worked Great with 2.3.3 installed in about 6 seconds. the line that needed to be replaced was at 343.

I ran into a issue, the hack seems to only show the images in the signature once per thread, not the signature itself did I miss something. I am running on vb2.3.3

2.2.9 ... thanks!

so simple and yet makes the board look so very clean
Excellent hack

Can you adapt this for vB3.0 Gold as well?

I'd also like to see something to limit font sizes in the signature.

Thank you!

You can do this in vB3 with just a template edit now. ;)

Hi Boofo,

I don't know the template system well enough but learning.

Can you point me in the correct direction?

Thanks

Kier released the code to do it on vb.vom. If you can't find it there, pm me and I will send it to you. ;)

vb.vom?

hi, if possible i would like to know which template to edit pls. Thanks for sharing
