Sig Editor

A nice link in the post which allows moderators, super moderators and admins to edit the signature of other users. There is also protection to stop the user changing the signature of other admins and moderators. A nice tick box is also present to allow you to suspend the signature without having to type in the message.

Hack suggested by Matt.

Updated to allow the original admin, ie the person with userid 1 to edit the sigs of any user via this interface instead of having to go to the admin panel. Sorted a bug with this that only let the person with userid 1 update.

Please everyone download the file and apply the changes to moderator.php again

We reinstalled the code after the upgrade. There was no change. Still a white screen

verify the template exist in all the styles that are use on your board, you may be using a template set with the added template.

This is the only reason you would get white screen and thats no template being shown.

This hack looks perfect for what I need.

Everything seems to work, except that no matter what user I try it on (and with me logged in as Administrator,) I get the following when I click Edit signature in teh popup box.

"Farghan Shadehunter is an admin and you are unable to edit their signature. "

Help?

i'll presume that the person is not an admin or a moderator who you are trying to apply this hack to...

Great hack!, thanks! only thing is in the preview where it says close window how can I make that to preview the sig and not show me the code again?

Also how can I make the link Edit Sig not be shown to anyone but Mods Super Mods and Admins. Basically I have alot of this on my site where they don't see stuff I think it helps clean up the site. Chen helped me with all the other code so any help ASAP would be great on making that link disapear to members and appear for admins mods etc etc. THANKS!

Also noticed when you suspend a sig it actually deletes it, maybe we could work something out so you can unsuspend a sig or edit what it was or atleast give them a chance to edit what it was..? So atleast it's not gone forever the second we suspend it.

Also maybe we could add smilies to this in some way.

Great hack!

I use it at a couple board I am a part of, and recently installed it on mine.

However, is there anyway we can allow admins to change moderator/admins signatures? As admin, I can't edit my own, or other moderators. While I'm not worried about the other moderators, is there a way I can edit my own quickly like this?

Again, kudos on the great job! Thanks for suggesting it, Matt.

Great hack buddy.

Loving it.

Just a suggestion but could this be altered so that admins can change all signatures including mods and admins?

Sorry for the delay PPN.. yes, I tried it (logged in as Administrator) on both moderators, admins and normal registered users.

None of them worked with the same message I put above.

Thanks for the assistance!
