Signature Image System

Signature Image Management System (file based)

Updated: 27 June 2002, 12:22 AM BST

This hack allows users to upload a image or images that they can then use as part of the thier signature. All uploaded images are private to the user that uploaded them.

The hack requires that you have PHP 4.1.0 or newer for the upload functions to work correctly. PHP 4.0.6 can be used with modifications (not recommended).

The scripts can if enabled also prevent users from externally linking to the images they uploaded, please note this is done by HTTP_REFERER checking not all http servers or browsers support this however is more widely supported than Apache's mod_rewrite. Should you wish to stop deep linking then upload a image called badcontent.gif to your forums directory.

Further more instructions are provided in how to get this hack to work if you are using vBulletin's standard sig editor or a advanced sig editor hack.

Version 2.0 Updates
- remote storage support
- sig.php nolonger appears in online.php
- special [sig] vB code is used instead of [img] tags

Version 1.3 Updates
- fixed display bug
- added removal script to main package
- added test template set


Version 1.11 Updates
- Image width & height checking

Current Version 1.3
Released 20th sept 2001

Requirements:

Optional:
- HTTP Server that supports HTTP_REFERER, (Apache 1.2+, IIS 4+)

ok, all added... now when someone uploads a sig I get this...

Warning: Unable to create 'devull/uid1iid.gif': No such file or directory in /home/xelation/public_html/forum/simage.php on line 129

Warning: Unable to move '/tmp/phpqbhyGK' to 'devull/uid1iid.gif' in /home/xelation/public_html/forum/simage.php on line 129

did u make the folder devull? and did u chmod it?

recheck, maybe thats the problem :P

[Xelation]

where do I put the folder, and what # does it need to be chmoded to?

[Disturbed]

well i simply created a 'sigs' folder in the images folder and changed teh chmod to 777

for u to get it working go to your admincp>>vbulletin options then go to the bottom of the page and change the base directory of the sig editor to
/home/xelation/public_html/forum/images/sigs
u can change that if ya want...

[Xelation]

works, thanks!

[Xelation]

crap, when I upload a sig now its a red x, to get the actual image I need to edit/repace that red x one for it to show up... then if I want to add a sig to the box I click the sig but it shows up as

[sig=]

in the sig text area... anyone know whats wrong?

dabean, if its not to much trouble.. could you take a look at my board? if so please pm me and I will give you access to it.

[Disturbed]

The hack should enter the id when a image is clicked on, ack just noticed a typing error in the installer. Open the sig_images_bit template and change
javascript:sigimg('')
to
javascript:sigimg('$mysigimage[imageid]')

obviously removing the space between java and script

bug fixes. Apply the change above.

Open the sigimage_popup_images template
change

PHP Code:

function sigimg(sigtext) {
opener.document.vbform.signature.value += "[sig="+sigtext+"]";
//document.vbform.message.focus();
} 


to

PHP Code:

function sigimg(sigtext) {
opener.document.vbform.signature.value += "[sig="+sigtext+"]";
} 


Download the current version of the zip 2.0_4 and upload the new version of simage.php.

This should correct all reported bugs.

Any images that appear as X's before these changes are made will need to be removed.
