Yes, another signature limit hack. But with a little twist

. After installing PPN's excellent Sig Editor hack, I felt the "suspended" signature option needed to have an enforcer of some sort. I know from experience that when I edited signatures in the past (mostly for being rediculously long) the user just turns around and puts the old sig back up.

I search the board and one of the old signature limits hacks has been removed by the author and others were outdated, so here we go.

This hack will limit the line breaks in the signature but also splits the image limit setting in 2, so you can have different image limits for posts and signatures. So the smilie limit in posts doesn't have to suffer if you are trying to curb signature image abuse

, and I believe it has been requested here as well in the past.

Both settings can be configured in the Admin Control Panel. Don't forget to back up all the goods before installing

I have a question. If you allow people to use HTML in their sigs, does this limit the number of lines of source code, or lines of text that the source code produce? I want to limit the lines of text, but sometimes it takes multiple lines to achieve a certain affect, i.e., glowing text. Also, do you have any updates to the previous questions?

I really would appreciate a check of the size (in bytes) for alle images (together) and if any of the images is above a defined size (in pixels).

I already put something together to read the size in pixels but I have no idea how to apply it to the images in the signature.

It would count the line breaks in the source code and make this hack pretty much useless as you could use a bunch of <br> tags on one line of code to create as many lines of output as you want.

I'm not familiar with that hack, so I have no idea.

To all the people asking about image checks/limits. I don't allow images in sigs on my forum so I have never looked into the possiblity of limiting that in any shape or form. But if somebody wants to tackle that issue and modify this hack, be my guest.

This doesn't work on 2.2.2 for me. I set a limit, and it's just ignored when people change their sigs...
