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

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


Version 1.11 Updates

Current Version 1.3
Released 20th sept 2001

Requirements:

Optional:

If you can't get it to work with the provided style file then something is wrong with code, or alternatively check you are looking at the site via the alternative style set. eg in your case
http://buffy.inscifi.net/forums/index.php?styleid=2

definately something wrong with the code then.. because the 2nd style set is fairly obvious when it's used

any suggestions?

check member.php

make sure the code you added is before
eval("dooutput(\"".gettemplate("modifyprofile")."\ ");");

Check all the templates exist particularlly sig_images, sig_images_alter, sig_images_none & sig_images_bit

If any are missing redownload the first zip file and check I provided them in the instructions.

They're all there... not a template problem I think.. but it should be shouldn't it

im getting the same errors as c was befor i cant figure it out and is there anyway i can uninstall the whole thing

rmusic: okay remove the templates. Remove the block of code from member.php. Delete the extra php files.

Download the attached file and run it from you admin directory this will clean away the extra settings and table added by the installer.

Attachment removed now part of main release package.

Just letting you know everything is up and running fine on my board now.

GJ and thank you for the help!

The only thing I suggest is in the instructions, make sure to tell users to make sure that dynamic [img] tags should be set to yes.

Otherwise the image wont show in the sig, just the link. I found this out the hard way and had no idea why it was doing that. lol

Props to Firefly for pointing me in the direction my dumb butt should have looked in the first place.

Everything works, except when I upload a picture, it says "uploaded picture" but all I get is red 'x's ? Then when I check the DIR thought my FTP, it uploaded fine. Ideas?

[dabean]

Okay thats a bug.
I have now updated the code to fix that bug in the display script. Download the updated version and it should fix your problem.

You only need to reupload sig.php
