Disable signatures in certain forums

I would like to disable signatures in certain forums, I attempted to add this to my postbit_legacy (of which my forum is set to use) but I may be doing it wrong. I have tried two methods:

This one

Code:

                                <vb:if condition="$post['signature'] AND $GLOBALS[forumid] != 421 || 578 || 680 || 638 || 597 || 36 || 246 || 247 || 490 || 250 || 531 || 748 || 742 || 740 || 744 || 129 || 769 || 772 || 770 || 771 || 691 || 711 || 712 || 713 || 714 || 715 || 716 || 696 || 717 || 718 || 719 || 750 || 751 || 752 || 753 || 754 || 779 || 720 || 778 || 721 || 722 || 723 || 763 || 767 || 764 || 765 || 776 || 777">

                <!-- sig -->

                                        <blockquote class="signature restore"><div class="signaturecontainer">{vb:raw post.signature}</div></blockquote>

                                </vb:if>

And This One

Code:

                                <vb:if condition="$post['signature'] AND $GLOBALS[forumid] != 421,578,680,638,597,36,246,247,490,250,531,748,742,740,744,129,769,772,770,771,691,711,712,713,714,715,716,696,717,718,719,750,751,752,753,754,779,720,778,721,722,723,763,767,764,765,776,777">

                <!-- sig -->

                                        <blockquote class="signature restore"><div class="signaturecontainer">{vb:raw post.signature}</div></blockquote>

                                </vb:if>

Neither seem to be working. Signatures show up in all forums.

NOTE: I have also cleared cache and used the maintenance tool for emptying signature cache.

You can't chain conditions like that in PHP. Template conditions are basically transferred to PHP, so its basic rules apply.

You either need to do

PHP Code:


		
			
$GLOBALS[forumid] != 1 AND $GLOBALS[forumid] != 2 AND $GLOBALS[forumid] != 3

and so on. More elegant:

PHP Code:


		
			
<if condition="i$post['signature'] AND !in_array($GLOBALS['forumid'], array(1,2,3))">

BTW: OR condition will not work when adding up negative conditions. If you do "not in 1 OR not in 2 OR not in 3", then the condition will always be true. If it is 1, it is not 2 or 3, and if its 2, it's not 1 or 3.

Hmm. But for the second php code bit, the condition is saying AND. Wouldn't i essentially need to make that AND NOT?

What I would do is create a plugin hooked at "postbit_display_complete" with the code:

PHP Code:


		
			
if (in_array($forum['forumid'], array(421,578,680,638,597,36,246,247,490,250,531,748,742,740,744,129,769,772,770,771,691,711,712,713,714,715,716,696,717,718,719,750,751,752,753,754,779,720,778,721,722,723,763,767,764,765,776,777)))
{
    $post['signature'] = '';
}

The advantage to using a plugin vs. a template edit is that it will work for all styles and will work whether you use "postbit" or "postbit_legacy" and it can easily be enabled/disabled. :)

Sorry, typo. It needs to be !in_array (note the !).

You're absloutely right. Although I'd do

PHP Code:


		
			
$show['signature'] = false;

inside the condition. But that's nitpicking.

Thanks guys. This solved my problem. The hook definitely made this quick and painless. Much appreciated.

Good call...if I had noticed that, I would have suggested it as well. :)
