Signature forced to bottom (for postbit_legacy users)

One of the biggest problems with the postbit_legacy template is how signatures will float to the bottom of the post text. This leaves an ugly gap between the bottom of the table and the bottom of the post text, this issue is more noticable on boards that show alot of info in the user box on the left of the postbit.

My modification will force the signature to the bottom of the table, however now the hieght of the signature will cause a slight gap in the user info box on the left. I think it is a good trade off, as I don't allow large sig's on my board anyway.

I have included a screen shot of the modification working, it will also give you an idea of the gap I refered to.

Instructions are included in the attached .txt file, the modification requires 2 edits to the postbit_legacy template.

But then it adds a humungus space to the bottom. How can we not make this do that?

It is adding the space to the left area with the postbit info whne a sig is present.

I dont like this. Is there any alternate way?

I'm not clear, could you help me? http://www.vbulletintemplates.com/mo...cons/icon9.gif

See if this helps.

Btw, might suggest adding valign="bottom" to the table cell containing the signature... just to ensure is always at the bottom... but that's just my preference I suppose. Of course I personally also moved the edited & edited reason notices to that cell in my forums (a test one) also to ensure was at the bottom. But that's me.

Okay, I've had no trouble doing this for my other styles, but my newest/latest style was created a little "differently" (Ex: The "navbar" items are actually in the "header", my "postbit_legacy" uses a lot of DIV's and less tables...

I have no problem finding, and erasing this part of the code:

Code:

<if condition="$post['signature']">

<!-- sig -->

<div>

        __________________<br />

        $post[signature]

</div>

<!-- / sig -->

</if>

Then, it says look for:

Code:

<!-- / edit note -->

</if>

 

</td>

</tr>

... and add directly below it:

Code:

 

<tr>

<td class="alt2">

</td>

<td class="alt1" align="$stylevar[right]">

<if condition="$post['signature']">

<!-- sig -->

<div>

        __________________________<br />

        $post[signature]

</div>

<!-- / sig -->

</if>

</td>

</tr>

When I search for "" and look for the closing IF, TD, and TR tags, in my postbit_legacy I find:

Code:

 

...etcetcetc.... <if condition="$post['edit_reason']">$vbphrase[reason]: $post[edit_reason]</if>

        </em>

</div>

<!-- / edit note -->

</if>

                                        <div align="right">

<!-- controls -->

<if condition="$post['editlink']"> .......etc etc etc etc......

In other words, no closing TD and TR tags after the edit note... so if I try to do the mod, things get messed up.

I've attached my postbit_legacy... if anybody has any suggestions, please let me know.

Again, these mods gave me no trouble on my other styles... just this one style's givign me trouble. thanks

I'm using the following for vB 3.0.3 and it takes care of the gap at the left and bottom aligns the signature, but because I'm using cellspacing="1" in my table I'm getting an annoying cellspacing line in the posts. This works good for IE. I haven't tested it in other browsers though.

In postbit_legacy, find:

Code:

<td class="alt2" width="175">

Change to:

Code:

<td class="alt2" width="175" rowspan="2">

Then find:

Code:

                <if condition="$post['signature']">

                <!-- sig -->

                        <div>

                                __________________<br />

                                $post[signature]

                        </div>

                <!-- / sig -->

                </if>

Delete it.

Now find:

Code:

                <!-- / edit note -->

                </if>

        

        </td>

</tr>

Directly underneath add:

Code:

<tr>

<td class="alt1" valign="bottom">

                <if condition="$post['signature']">

                <!-- sig -->

                        <div valign="bottom">

                                __________________________<br />

                                $post[signature]

                        </div>

                <!-- / sig -->

                </if>

                </td>

</tr>

That sollution is great :D

But now the 'Last edited by' line is placed right under the last line of a post, and then there's a gap until the bottom where the signature is.

But that's only for posts with just a few lines of text.

Sledgstone

If you want the 'Last edited by' line moved to just above the signature do the following:

In postbit_legacy, find:

Code:

                <if condition="$show['postedited']">

                <!-- edit note -->

                        <div class="smallfont">                        <hr size="1" style="color:$stylevar[tborder_bgcolor]" />

                                <em>

                                <phrase 1="$post[edit_username]" 2="$post[edit_date]" 3="$post[edit_time]">$vbphrase[last_edited_by_x_on_y_at_z]</phrase>.

                                <if condition="$post['edit_reason']">$vbphrase[reason]: $post[edit_reason]</if>

                                </em>

                        </div>

                <!-- / edit note -->

                </if>

Delete it.

Then find:

Code:

<if condition="$post['signature']">

Directly above add:

Code:

                <if condition="$show['postedited']">

                <!-- edit note -->

                        <div class="smallfont">                        <hr size="1" style="color:$stylevar[tborder_bgcolor]" />

                                <em>

                                <phrase 1="$post[edit_username]" 2="$post[edit_date]" 3="$post[edit_time]">$vbphrase[last_edited_by_x_on_y_at_z]</phrase>.

                                <if condition="$post['edit_reason']">$vbphrase[reason]: $post[edit_reason]</if>

                                </em>

                        </div>

                <!-- / edit note -->

                </if>

I'll do a file comparison and try to get back and post directions.

OK I think the main thing is placing the "rowspan" in the right place.

I must have misread something somewhere, because after reviewing,
it's almost identical to what Sledgstone posted. ??

I made my own version of this one, and was going to post it as a mod when I discovered this thread.

You can try my version and see if it is better for you.

It is made on an unmodified postbit_legacy template

Can I offer praise and worship for this modification? That sig thing was driving me crazy. Thank you very much.

This is great, accept for it seems to create a line that goes right across the postbit_legacy underneath the message, is there a way I can get rid of this?

If you take off the cellspacing="1" for that table, it'll remove the line, but it will also take out the border for the entire postbit_legacy. I didn't care for it at first, but my members like it. O_o They say it helps distinguish whats the post and whats the signature.

I was looking at a few threads/posts about this yesterday but none of the mods succeed properly.

I'd appreciate is someone could release this mod for 3.6.x
